In the name of “progressive Christianity” I have acquaintances pushing for a form of #NoHypocrisy

That is to say, we can be open and free about the borderline carnal pleasures we still enjoy and not be judgemental

A short thread

I don’t make this tweet because I am totally rid of carnal pleasures. And by Carnal pleasures I mean stuff that potentially numb your spirituality sensitivity gradually because they aren’t in-your-face evil (even though most of them actually are...)

So for example, we should comfortably enjoy our favourite AfroPop Star’s latest hit track that crosses every line of spiritual and righteous sensitivity but is an uncountable vibe,...

or rave and tweet about our latest Netflix popping show that does more of piss on fruits of righteousness and and the name and person of God every chance the show writer gets...

And we should feel free among ourselves in an atmosphere of non-judgement and non-hypocrisy

The logic is that, if you find it appealing as a Christian, why should any doctrine cause you to pretend you don’t like it for the sake of “looking holy”...

Albeit true that we must be true to ourselves, we must not confuse hypocrisy with refusal to publicly promote or accept anything that WE CLEARLY KNOW dampens our nature, character and sensitivity as God’s people...

Even though some take undue advantage of it, I do not believe it to be hypocrisy.

I think it’s common sense to not endorse or promote or boldly embrace things we should lay at the Father’s feet to rid us off by His Spirit...

Because in our growth as believers, our life is (or should be) characterised by dying daily to self, the flesh and it’s lusts thereof. And I will be honest, you will look like a weirdo for separating yourself from popular tastes...

And from the little weaning happening to me lately, God it’s glorious.

So we gas Dey calm down with this our #NoHypocrisy and #Freedom we are fond of yelling out as believers.

Abi if that’s the case, shall believers struggling with porn come out to share latest links to their most-viewed clips in the name of No hypocrisy?

Shall our brethren battling with Gambling be bold and free about their addiction; posting new sure numbers for others to try?

Shall we continue to feature people who make music that promote bad behaviour but say it’s okay because we are “reaching out”?

When your sons and daughters grow up and follow the model of those you feature, would you be proud of your life’s work?

I’m not speaking because I’m free from vice. I speak as one being set free from vice — one in the making, pursuing God’s design for my life.

Every believer should be encouraged to work towards consecration, rather than to celebrate our carnality!

Bless

Here is why WE PRAY!
While some go into ghettos seeking young people to rehabilitate, Your nearby Political Aspirant goes into the same neighbourhoods to pick young men to use as political thugs to disrupt elections and what not
DOES THAT LOOK LIKE PEOPLE WHO CAME TO SERVE YOU?

WHEN THE FOUNDATION IS DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO? God said so through his Word. The foundation must be restored!

This is why Jesus didn’t move how the Israelites expected him to: How could he try to free Israel from Rome’s oppression; when he came to fix the problem that could heal both Jew, Roman and Greek?

THE HEART OF MAN IS DESPERATELY WICKED! FIX THE HEART; FIX THE MAN!

Faith is YOU knowing God and trusting His goodwill towards you.

To whatever degree that His promise(s) to you gives you rest (peace amidst a storm) that degree is the measure of your faith.

When I was preparing to get married, bills to be paid were soaring through my roof.

My big bro promised me N1million in support and boy oh boy my anxiety gave way instantly: I had peace for like 2 weeks. Why? Because I knew him enough to believe that if he had a way to spare 1 milli, he would give it to me. I mean it’s my wedding.

It’s easy to say “your sins are forgiven, you are now born again.”

This is because people can see the works of sin, but no one can see sin itself. We can see the fruits of righteousness— but cannot see righteousness itself.

But to say “rise up and walk” is more difficult. Because for everyone in that vicinity, the only actual proof that God’s ability thrives within you is for that lame person’s body to respond to your very words and rise up on their feet.

Faith in Jesus Christ is not a football team. It is not about signing “star” players to our team; it’s about transformation of the life of every person that the Gospel meets!

We’ve been celebrating co-signs upandan and yet, for a decade of my observation — none of these co-signs have become a worthwhile thing, cause not legacy.

Whe will we learn? Open our eyes God, that we may no longer be conformed to the ways of the system but rather be transformed daily by the renewing of our minds.

Virtually every major Urban Christian and CHH Artist that has “blown” and struck what we thought were desirable deals and desired great cross over appeal, has eventually pulled out of such deals, didn’t get the cross over and euphemise the down sides to their decisions.

Why?

When will we realise we have to look inwards, build from within, and build it from scratch?

When?

@adaoralumina

And as @adaoralumina hinted a couple days ago, there’s a difference between “growing” and “growing towards”.

To what end is this increase?
Does the end justify the means?
Or must the end and means align?

What is what?

@nathanielblow

For a while now @nathanielblow song #Olowogbogboro continues to be a ground breaking offering

@Ditweni

Earlier this week, @Ditweni got inspired by it to chop it up and make something for the culture... and for sure it’s a fire instrumental, which has in its own right garnered many artists so far to throw up Testimonies over it. This one hit home.
