Someone preached the gospel to another person of another religion
She didn't carry a megaphone at 5AM in the morning to disturb the neighbourhood
The person she preached to was in the same car with her
The person was not a child
The person could have told the person preaching to
him to "shut up" at anytime
The preacher and the one being preached to are both mature adults
The person that was preached to didn't report being harassed or embarrassed
It was the one who preached that excitedly talked about the experience
But this is Twitter
All the dumb poles
have an opinion
The opinion is not going to be based on any form of objectivity
What we want are retweet and likes
So we check the pulse of the community
We look at the popular handles
We have to go with popular opinion so that our opinion and that of "celebrities" are in sync
We decide to jump into the conversation and vilify the one who dared to share her faith
We decided faith is a personal virus that shouldn't be spread to others
You must keep your faith and let me keep mine
We are wrong
We are wrong because that opinion is contrary to the word of
God
No matter how popular you are or how many followers you have on Twitter, you are dust!
Your time in this world is borrowed
Your opinion is zilch
You have nothing to offer me on the other side of time
Your knowledge and protestations are irrelevant
Only one thing is really
important to me
That I do the will of God
My mother was not born a Christian
I thank God every day for the person who preached the gospel to my mother
If the person and others like him or her had kept quiet
Only God knows how my life would have turned out
The gospel is the light
As long as a believer didn't constitute a nuisance by disturbing the community with noise-making gadgets or by sharing his or faith with people who are not receptive to it, sharing one's faith is doing the will of God
If you will not share the gospel and you are intimidating
others who share the gospel based on your philosophies and convenience - I am very sorry for you
The gospel makes the feet of those who preach it to shine and burn bright
If you are ashamed of the gospel of Christ, you are ashamed of the power of God unto salvation
You are to be
pitied
Remember what was said about that stone?
Those who stumble on it are broken to pieces and those upon which it falls are grounded to powder
A fool that keeps his or opinion to himself is often considered wise
Jesus said to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations
and you are saying sharing the good news is wrong?
Wow.
Who did you die for?
Who are you?
Oh my!
A speck of mere dust that will not be remembered or known in 100 years
I laugh and laugh as i write this
Reminds me of the Character called Olaf in the animation called Frozen
Olaf
only existed because there was snow
Its existence and opinions and entire life was based on the existence of a particular weather
During the Summer, Olaf withers
The same applies to every one of us and our high opinions
The one whose gospel has suddenly started to irritate us is
the reason we are alive
I have been walking in the gospel and sharing the gospel for many years
When the chips are down, those who had the loudest voice on Twitter will tremble and quake and buckle and knock their knees under the briefest of challenges and run to God for help!
All the education in the world will come to naught when life shows up
Most of us have lost insight and perspective
We speak without recourse to depth
We have faked it for so long that we have come to believe our own deception that we have life handled
I will advise us all to pick
up our phones and declare our faith boldly on our bios
Let the world know you are a believer and if they come seeking the reason for the Hope you have, be very open to share your faith with whosoever
If you are ashamed of eternal life while living out your temporary life, you
can not be counted among the wise
Those who preach the gospel are counted as wise and will shine like the sun right from this earth
Always remember this
When you preach the gospel, the power of the Holy Spirit is given full expression in you and in the life of the one to whom the
gospel was preached
I met so many people on Twitter whose lives were transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ
The testimonies of transformed destinies around me are innumerable
When the gospel you preach is real and potent, people will come begging for it but when it is mere
words, lawyers and motivational speakers will call your bluff.
The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is my life and reality, it is the salt that comes forth from me and the light that shines forth through me!
I cannot but preach the gospel
It is the air I breathe and through it I
have seen many who were lost in darkness translated into the light
Against this gospel, there is no opposition or ridiculous opinions
When your gospel raises the dead, even unbelievers sneak into your DM seeking help
Against the power of the gospel everything pales
I encourage
believers to preach the gospel always
Let your life be the gospel
Let your words be seasoned with salt
Shine the light
Heal the sick
Raise the dead
Do the greater works
Remember you are occupying until Jesus comes
Ignore the chatter of ignorance and persecution
Please the LORD!

David Yongi-Cho was dying of tuberculosis at a very young age when a young lady started coming to his house with a New testament Bible
According to him, the young lady came to his house persistently until he took the Bible from her, read it and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord
and saviour
Smith Wigglesworth was a sinner who had no time for the message of grace until a lady (He later married her) took it upon herself to witness the gospel to him
After his conversion, Smith Wigglesworth raised his wife from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit

Valentines week of 2015

He traveled to her school to spend the week with her
It was a yearly ritual they had since they became lovers
They always spent the valentine week together wherever
they found themselves
The previous year, ASUU was on strike and they spent the week in
each other's company
It was her idea
The Valentine week ritual
She told him right after they started dating that February 14 was a hoax in her opinion
Most people with multiple lovers find a way to satisfy all their partners
She said she had older brothers and many male friends
She had also been room mates with ladies with multiple partners
She said she cannot trust anybody who wouldn't spend the whole week from February 10-february 17 with her
He felt she was being overdramatic but since he had nothing to hide, he fell inline
She was the most dedicated

Rather than cheat on your spouse, the honourable thing to do is quit the marriage
I know many people would rather want to eat their cake and have it, in principle, people who do that are scums and cheats
Either you are the husband or the wife, you have a duty to yourself to stay
faithful to your spouse regardless of the circumstances or the situation you find yourself in
If the situation is such that you cannot cope with the relationship, the best thing to do is walk out and stay out.
A lady came to my office claiming her husband was a two minute man and
the lack of sexual satisfaction had almost driven her into the street in search of a lover
She hadn't done anything yet...
She was just considering it because of the frustration the quick ejaculation issue the husband has was causing her
She made sure she dragged her husband to

She walked into my office on a Sunday Morning at about 11:15AM
She said she wanted me to pray for her two teenagers
She looked so young and modern with multiple earrings adorning her ears and a short crisp (tainted) haircut and a short (Not indecent) gown
She was ushered in right
after the service
She said a brother in church insisted she had to meet with me for prayers
She didn't look like someone who had ever seen a night all her life but appearances can indeed be deceptive
She told me she was facing a very strong challenge in her marriage
Her husband
of over 18 years suddenly packed his bag and left the house he built claiming she was trying to kill him
He walked out of his home
He went back to his Father's house and started staying with his mother
It was a puzzle
The wife claimed it was demonic manipulation
She said his

He was a cheat
The first time she discovered he was cheating on her was two weeks to their wedding
She was four months pregnant and had woken up that morning with the intention of paying him a surprise visit at his crib in Magodo
He was still sharing a flat with three of his
friends at the time
She got to Magodo at about noon
The apartment was right behind the main house and the gate was almost always locked
Usually she would call call him once she got to the gate so that he would come and open the gate for her but on that fateful day, she met the
gate ajar
Someone was driving out of the compound and the big gate was wide open
She walked in, climbed the stairs to the boys quarters and met the door open
She walked in and found them (Her man and a lady) doing it
It was the last thing she expected to see, especially because

What she wanted to do was spice things up
Her marriage was too boring, too predictable
Sometimes it takes a lot of efforts for her husband to get it up and for him to last long enough for her to get there was also a herculean task
They used to be very sexually compatible but
after thirteen years in the love boat, the "see finish" syndrome crept in
She felt she was no longer exciting him
He had settled into life as a man and was no longer trying to do "playboy" with her
It was a terrible sinking feeling for her
A terrible omen about the close of a
season of excitement and joy
She started reading books about prolonging the fun
It didn't start with the book though
It started with an old secondary school friend
He chatted her up and somehow their conversation took an exciting turn
It was the last thing she expected after two
