Jerry VS. Hanny

28 In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying
2‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.
4I will also bring back to this place King Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the
priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord; 6and the prophet Jeremiah said, ‘Amen! May the Lord do so; may the Lord fulfil the words that you have prophesied, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the
exiles. 7But listen now to this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. 8The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. 9As for the prophet who prophesies
peace, when the word of that prophet comes true, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.’

10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, and broke it. 11And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying,
‘Thus says the Lord: This is how I will break the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon from the neck of all the nations within two years.’ At this, the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Some time after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet
Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13Go, tell Hananiah, Thus says the Lord: You have broken wooden bars only to forge iron bars in place of them! 14For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put an iron yoke on the neck of all these nations so that
they may serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and they shall indeed serve him; I have even given him the wild animals. 15And the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, ‘Listen, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, and you made this people trust in a lie. 16Therefore thus
says the Lord: I am going to send you off the face of the earth. Within this year you will be dead, because you have spoken rebellion against the Lord.’

17 In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.

His mother's favorite line was
"Life is war and living is warfare
If you wait until you see what the
enemy is doing against you, it will
be too late.
The devil is a roaring lion seeking
whom to devour, it is our duty to
keep a step ahead of the enemy,
Yesterday's prayer is never
enough!
When I was a child, even though i
was born into a pagan family, i know
how hard my parents tried to fortify
us.
We are concoctions in the middle of
the night and in the afternoon
We ate concoctions on refuse dumps
Just so that they can keep us safe from
the arrows of the
arrows of the enemy
Despite all the incisions and concoctions
and sacrifices and divinations that they
did
Only four of my parent's eight children
survived
There was one of my late siblings that
i remember vividly
He died the very day my mother went
to enroll him in school
She

I wonder why people always angry with those who do not agree with them
Different opinions make for a healthy society
We must protect the dissenting voices
They might be right
They might even be God
Jeremiah found himself alone with his message at his time
God gave him the word
He shared it with the king and His noblemen
Nobody wanted to hear it
Jeremiah was slapped, insulted, and thrown into the well for holding on to the truth
Jeremiah was accused of trying to defect to the camp of the enemy and beaten for being a dissenting voice in his time
Hmmm!
Thank God Jeremiah didn't compromise
Thank God Jeremiah didn't throw in the towel
Thank God Jeremiah kept prophesying
At the end of the day, all the other prophets that rose against him died and their voices perished
It was Jeremiah's prophecy that guided Daniel in Babylon and

He couldn't help but ask her why
He knew his question will sound intrusive& embarrassing but he couldn't help it so he braced himself and asked "Why are you cheating on your husband?"
She looked at him and said "I am very lost in that marriage. It isn't my first and I don't think
It will be my last
I had expected that once I got married, the gulf i feel within me will be filled
You know...
I had always felt this lacuna, this void deep within me
I don't know if you get it
I feel like I am a seeker and what I need is in a man's hand
For a moment after I met
my current husband, I had bubbles in my tummy and it felt as if the gulf has been filled but then after we got married and things settled down, the void returned
it was exactly how it felt in my previous marriages
It just felt empty
I am like a wanderer who couldn't settle down

Christians are not judges
A day will come when we will judge the world but that day is not today
A day will come when believers will judge angels, but that day is not today
A day will come when we will condemn the world but that day is not today
Today, we save the world through
the gospel.
We reconcile the world to the Father through Jesus
Today we spread the fragrance of the love of Jesus, not bu PREACHING a gospel of fear, demons, and Hell but by the declaration of his love and grace through the Holy Spirit.
I have seen the kind of believers the
gospel of fear of hell produces
They are a sorry lot
They find it difficult to forgive
They are self-righteous
They cast stones at will
They feel they have paid a price by denying themselves and those who didn't do the same should burn in hell
All they see is death, decay and

A lady wrote a moving thread on Twitter about being raped
I gave her a call
I asked her what happened
She said it happened in a bar
There are witnesses
She climbed on top of him at 7:30pm in a public bar without wearing undies and he "Raped" her
She was the one on top throughout!
I told her I am sure that is not rape
She said "I felt dirty afterward, I felt really terrible. You have to understand how what he did to me made me feel.
I have been writing threads on social media for a long time, I went on Instagram and they insulted me. They said I accuse
everybody of rape
but when i came on Twitter, people listened
I am telling you I was raped"
I said "Okay"
When did this happen?
She said December 2019
Did you report to the police?
No
Did you report anywhere else?
Yes. But they didn't believe me
I said "I also don't believe you"

The Chaplain

Many of those who were in that University between 2005-2007 will remember this true-life story
It is the story of a man of God I respect and honour greatly, I am writing it without his permission therefore I won't mention his name
I will refer to him as The Chaplain
The University, like many other Christian institutions founded in a secular society, had a lot of issues in its first year. In their bid to secure the cooperation of the indigenes and be friendly, they signed a lot of dangerous pacts. The pact led to the infiltration of the
school by some students who believed they came in as indigenes of the community and therefore can do anything they wanted since they had the backing of the traditional ruler of the community
About 50 students from the community wouldn't attend chapel, pray with the other students
