David took Uriah's wife and had him killed; His own troubles began?
Yes, truly, he repented but he lost the child from the product of his Adultery with Bathsheba!
His son Ammon raped his sister Tamar!
Sacrilege in the household of a King!
Ammon was also murdered by his own brother Absalom
What about when the king David had to flee into the woods because of the rebellion and conspiracy of his precious son, Absalom to overthrow him?
Yet, Absalom was gruesomely killed on the throne for David to return to the palace!
What a bloody family!
The beloved King David got into the error of conducting a census against the warnings and the Word of the Lord from Joab?
The people he called his own were struck by plagues from the throne of the Almighty!
So sad...
What more could be degrading than for one to have a heart to build a temple for the Lord and God rejects the offer and have it passed to the next generation?
May be we should be more closer to our Bible and read well with the knowledge of the Holy Spirit before we conclude that God isn't really fair in His judgments which could be misleading.
He's a loving and merciful God, but he's also a consuming fire!
Only David could tell what pain he experienced for his misdeeds.
No evil man can get away without God's judgment!
No one! No not one!
You can't escape God's wrath if you call for it through your sins and iniquities!
Don't play the devil's dangerous games by believing that unbelievers and evil men are going unpunished!
You may not know it really, but the scripture is true, no sinner will go unpunished!
So, do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the Lord and do good; then, you will dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
—Psalm 37:1-3
What happened to Lot and his daughters after Sodom's destruction?
Why did he have sex with them?
(A Succinct Thread)
Foremost, It is importance to remember that God considered Lot a righteous man.
(2 Peter 2: 4 -9).
It was, without a doubt, incredibly difficult for someone like Lot to be obedient to God in a city wholly given over to pursuing its lusts.
Secondly, the toxicity of Sodom and Gomorrah isn't a reason for us to think that Lot's daughters are not pure virgins. Environmental influence isn't an excuse to either embrace or shun immorality.
If you're loosed, you can travel several kilometres just to satisfy your lust.
Your past sexual frailties during the times of your ignorance does not disqualify you from speaking against impurity. No, it doesn't.
Your previous struggles with illicit drugs should not stop you from advocating against drug addiction either.
It's honourable if you've got no sexual experience. You will be a light and a model worthy of emulation to those who're relying on God's grace to walk through the same path.
On the contrary, It's comforting to have experienced the consequences of sexual impurity and the healing liberation from such acts.
Your story will minister hope, strength and liberation faster and speak more clearly to the struggles of others than that of the unblemished.
I know you wish to grow up and become fully grown independent adults, but not to scare you, it does not guarantee "freedom".
Adulthood comes with the cost of having to take tough decisions at all times.
Find friends who are “slightly better” than you. If you are with young fools, you will only grow to match them. If you are with intelligent adults, you can grow to reach them.
The purpose of dating is to find someone whom you will spend the rest of your life with. It is not to get into “a relationship”. The truth is that the feeling of “love” is just an arrangement of brain chemicals. They don’t stay that way forever.
As a savvy in Math, I understood that there is more depth to compound interest than learning and teaching it.
(A short thread)
Starting with time, a second is almost equal to nothing,
1million seconds is 11.57 days, 1billion seconds is 31.7 years.
Do the math for 1trillion seconds.
Nonlinear thinking is not very intuitive but can be useful if understood.
Yes, 2020 has been a turbulent year but the menace associated with the Nigerian saga has nothing to do with the calendar year. Nigeria's present administration is a tale of insensitivity, wickedness and a high level of incompetence.
Six years ago, it was #BringBackOurGirls. The previous administration was castigated and labelled a failure. Till today, some of the abducted Chibok girls are nowhere to be found. The new hashtag is now #BringBackOurBoys.
Peaceful #EndSARS protests were disrupted by the #LekkiTollGateMassacre in October. Few days ago, over 40 farmers were beheaded in cold blood in a gruesome #ZabarmariMassacre and now, over 600 Kankara students are nowhere were kidnapped right under the nose of the president.
