I honestly think one of the signs of a failing relationship is the loss of desire to communicate even in the mundane things.
5 hour calls reduce to 1 hour then to 30 mins then to 10 mins then to 5 mins then to nothing from time to time.
I actually could talk to my girl for 24hrs straight if I could
Like, I know I love her with everything in me, but I also just really like her as a human being
She’s great people, for real!
I really, really thoroughly ENJOY her company.
There's a way the Bible describes that husbands should love their wives. Like Christ loved the church.
Christ loved the church so much, He died for her. Took beatings for her. Was betrayed by the church, but still saved her. His love is unconditional.
Now think on that.
There's a lot to unpack from this.
But:
1.) There's nothing wrong with attending prayer meetings. You can never have enough prayer per time; pray every chance you get. Pray alone, & pray with the brethren.
Prayer is never a waste.
Acts 1:2; Acts 2:1; Acts 2:42; Acts 12:5-18
The problem is people don't understand the concept of 'dying to self'. Once you say you're for Jesus, you don't live for yourself again.
You can't belong to the world, & still belong to Jesus.
That's inconsistent.
You think from the mindset of what pleases God, not self.
I'm so shaken up right now. Thank You God for safety.
The bike I was on hit 2 cars that were stationary, and then fell. Sustained some scratches and I'm limping, but thank God!
People quoting this with 'your tithe' & other sardonic responses must think that all Pastors don't have other jobs.
He is a recording artiste, movie producer, & writer amongst other things.
I promise you, there is nothing wrong with spending the money you've earned honestly.
No one:
My mind every 5 minutes:
You are here, You are here
Holy Ghost, I'm so glad You are here

Maraji’s take is dishonest. We need to stop championing mediocrity in the name of ‘support your own’. Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well. Opportunity meets preparation, and while Hilda prepared for 5 years, e sure me die that Dammy did not prepare well for this.
The profuse tears I shed? 😭
My first MAP leader, an astute teacher, a true servant of God, & a musical virtuoso.
I'm honoured to have been & to still continue to pohave access to you. Thank you for the privilege. Enugu is blessed to have you, my Pastor

This argument is tired. The lyrics of new secular albums are learned by the end of the day it's released. Familiarise yourself with new Christian songs as they come out, and you'll have less trouble 'connecting' in church.
I need a job.
If your law firm is in Abuja and is hiring for a Junior Associate, please help a sis.
I'm passionate about Commercial Transaction, IP, Compliance, and Corporate Law.
This is crazy becuase as a non-confrontational person, when I absolutely HAVE to confront someone for what has been done to me, it's akin to physical pain.
I'll rehearse what I have to say so I don't go off in a tangent, and if I don't do this best believe my mouth will run off.

Happy birthday to me!
Just like my names, I shall sing songs of Melody and I will Ja Chi Mma!
Thank You, Jesus for keeping me to see this day coa ngl the last year was rough!!
If you're led to give me, I have a wishlist 🤭
You don't hug? Hold hands? Pat on the back? Head on shoulder? Hand squeezes?
The problem is you. If you can't think of physical touch without going sexual, the problem is you.
Unpopular opinion: in a Christian relationship, there’s no way you can physically touch your partner in a way that won’t trigger sin.
Because sin is just by thinking, you don’t even have to do. It’s not even the touch.
I’m open to opposing views. What do y’all think?
If you're new in CCI, at least less than a year, I urge you to listen to Pastey's old sermons, including those on Soundcloud. Even if you've been in CCI longer, listen and listen again.
The messages are evergreen!
I pray everyone finds their type o. Those that want freshly cooked food all the time from their wives, and those that have no problem with sharing the cooling tasks with their wives.
May the opposites never jam each other.
I did not get an A* in Cambridge IGCSE English as a First Language, for these people to label my writing as AI-speak.
What you people are is lazy. Improve your verbiage, instead of gatekeeping opportunities from people who have expanded their vocabulary!
Seeing all the ministries and MOG/WOGs directly from Pastey's teaching ministry brought profuse tears to my eyes.
All because one man said YES.
Thank you Apst sir

Nobody says natural hair is bad. But can you go to events with your natural hair? An envent that you have a function to run?
You can be at your natural look when at home but for an occasion, look your best
2.) The video started with friendship, then took a u-turn to husband, and all the criteria to fulfill to get a husband. Heavy emphasis being laid on material things, and outward appearance.
There's nothing wrong with the hair that grows out of your hair; it is God given.
By all means, ladies (and men) should look neat and tidy, but do not for a second think that until you have bone straight wig that can be flipped, you're not worth a second glance from a man.
Summary of today’s sermon is that fulfilling purpose will not always be glamorous, because many times, purpose is risky. You will give up a lot to fulfil God’s purpose on earth. This is how you know a person of faith.
Our lives tell how aligned we are with God’s purpose.
'Instilling fear of consequences' is why many in this generation have a warped view of respect, don't stand up for themselves in the right way, and have anger issues. If you think beating is the way to go, look at the average Nigerian adult, and really examine if they're okay.
We must be careful against placing a high premium on materialism in the body, and a low premium on prayer.
Learn to abase and abound; in little and in plenty, you are content.
Philippians 4:11-12
When PM started saying the Benediction, that's when all the tears gushed out from my eyes. I dey do reel, dey cry. Thank you, my Pastor

Don't be someone you're not (doesn't mean character can't be improved upon) to attract a man/woman; it's fraudulent!
3.) The 'Mantle of Kathryn Kuhlman' isn't something to not aspire to; if you have a calling to ministry, male/female attention shouldn't come before that calling.

I love the beautiful family pictures. Gorgeous gorgeous families.
But guys, when pluralising your family names, do away with the apostrophe.
Apostrophe signifies ownership. A plural form doesn't need apostrophe.
E.g instead of the Nwosu's, it's the Nwosus.
Thank you.

You'd only grow when you utilise them, play your part.
Posting the list on Twitter is beyond the issue. The issue is that some of you need to do some soul searching, and ask yourselves why your first instincts are to always see the bad in things, be cynical, and not be circumspect in your choice of words.
There is a life after this. Jesus is the only way to it. Relying on your works is a subtle form of pride, because you think it's by your might, when really it's Jesus that preserves us.
if there’s indeed an afterlife, following any religion isn’t going to save you, being good to people, especially those u don’t have to would be the difference, nobody cares that u read a book every morning and don’t miss Sunday services if you’re an asshole.
Many of the comments just show that people really don't care for the couple when they go for weddings. Their main intention is to eat, not even to celebrate & share in their joy.
You want the couple to do things to cater to your tastes, when it's their day.
That's selfishness.
I saw a tweet whereby the person said, she feels empty after church, when she doesn't know the lyrics of the songs sang.
That's what happens when you don't have the right idea of worship. Worship isn't about songs sung, buy your heart posture & readiness to receive God's Word.
If you ask me for dubs, I won't give you; and that does not make me a wicked person.
I made sacrifices to know things, you should have too.
Stop being entitled to the results of the hard work of other people. If you fail to plan, you have planned to fail!
Beware of grey areas and almost truths, because they are NOT the truth.
If you don't read your Bible, you'll be easily misled by people twisting the Bible for their narrative.
This entire thread is that.
An obvious thing about Christians is that they don’t read the Bible and have never taken the time to understand Jesus. So I am gonna teach yall. And before you ask what I know about the Bible, I was a theology student, Sunday school teacher and I’ve read the entire Bible.
Let’s not even get into the misinterpretation of scripture, especially by non-Christians in the quotes/comments. Solomon is right. Consecration and discipleship are very very important. Yes, appearance may be deceiving sometimes, however the state of your heart can be discerned.
Also, life is not all about competition; I’ve learned that this isn’t a healthy way to view situations. Just because someone broke out in a particular venture, doesn’t mean I should jump on it too.
Plus, this entire Dammy venture has been shown to be a scam.
Again, you cannot pray enough in this world, so disabuse your mind from the notion that you can reach a threshold for prayer meetings in a year.
'Colossians 4:2 - Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.'
4.) The privilege is unmistakable. In a country where a litre of fuel is ranging from N615-N630, inflation has gone berserk, and $1 is over N1k, saying women should buy bone straight is not the way.
Leave within your means, and if love finds you that's great.
I didn't even get into how the responsibility of men marrying godly women was pushed to ladies. Prayerful christian ladies are the reason why the christian marry non-christian ladies. Instead of the men to pray to, and notice the praying ladies.
Men check on your bathroom windows for earrings....
Redo the bed yourself, they break their nais intentionally so your girlfriend can find them.
If you don't know the colour of your girlfriend's toothbrush throw them away.
Check your water glasses for lipstick.
Melody of Sync Legal!
Today 8th April, Melody believed God and it was counted unto her as righteousness. She staggered not at the promises of God!
It's a prophetic new year for me, my family, my business, and my friends!
Good morning. My hot take is that the real outrage for the girl recording her parents, is because deep down what her parents said were vile and casts them in a negative light.
If it was a video of a healthy parent-child relationship, everyone will be happy, as such videos exist.
Okrika is nothing to be ashamed of. Slap on the word 'thrift' and it becomes trendy. Don't let classism cause you to run into debt cos you want to buy original.
Let your entire reason for doing things or interacting with people, be to get a man/woman. It's weird, and desperate.
There's not deadline for marriage, except death, and even then if you're a Christian you'll kuku escape this earth and go to heaven.
So dumb to prevent medical care on the basis of being a Christian.
God is not against medicine, there are instance in the Bible where the healings of people as instructed by God were treatment based.
Take your medicines and still pray. It is a miracle that drugs wok too.
A child with diabetes was found dead in her home.
Her parents refused to give her life-saving insulin shots. Instead, with urging from their church, they just prayed.
The trial for the 14 church members charged with her death begins today in Australia.
Thank God for CCI, thank God for the ministry of Pastor Emmanuel Iren, thank God for all the Pastors, thank God for the workers that make things work, thank God for my brothers and sisters in the faith, and for the body of Christ as a whole.
My life is better for it.
1. You should be loyal during talking stage. Don't make the person feel like they're not a priority.
2. Don't present yourself as someone you're not.
3. Talking stage is to know negotiables & non-negotiables
4. To that end, you can't know someone based on talking stage -
Happy Teachers' Day,

Thank you for your labour of love over us, in training men and women for ministry.
Thank you for saying 'Yes' to God's will, and because of that, my spiritual life and that of others have blossomed.
God bless you, and keep you! Amen.

[16]Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

Read your Bible, make dem no bobo you.
Read commentaries. Use concordance. Read apologetics books. Look up arguments against your faith, and study to debunk them.
Study church history too.
I believe Christians will be better for it if all these are done.
Speaking of anniversaries, a reminder that 'anniversary' is for yearly aka annual celebrations.
'Ann' is the Latin root word for 'year'.
So, please, if you're marking a week, month(s), or quarter celebration, don't use anniversary!
Okay, that's the end of my TED talk. Thanks.
