UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom 5:8).
.
Do you think that God loves you more than He did when you were still in your sins? Do you think that He loves you more than those who are still in their sins? Do you suppose that God loves you more than some other Christians who do not walk as closely with Him? Does God love you more because you are more righteous than them? Could God show a greater love to you than He did on the Cross?
My answer to all these things is nay. Not at all! God’s love for you is from everlasting to everlasting. He loved you before the foundations of the world, and will love you as fervently, even after the world is no more. This is unconditional love. It was not because of anything you did to deserve the love that you have God’s love. He offers this same love to everyone through Jesus Christ…whether they accept it or reject Him.
However, as someone who has responded to God’s love by drawing near to Him, you will FEEL His love...

🙌🙌🙌 Regrann from @korekenny - Christian Deception is very often a process by which wrong doctrines gets inserted into the faith over time, until they're accepted, and even venerated.
Those who engineer it are very deliberate and structured in their approach.
When a man of GOD says, "if GOD tells me giving is wrong, I'll not listen to HIM...." That's *SHOCKING*; he's invariably saying GOD can be wrong, and it's ok to disobey GOD when we know HE is wrong.
The bombshell has been dropped, so to speak.
Such message would be met with *OUTRAGE* from those who know better, but all the pastor needs to do is defiantly defend his teaching (he can never apologize), as his church members come out in a grand show of solidarity.
The third stage is *DISCUSSION*; At this stage there is a big debate over whether GOD can be wrong, and if we should obey GOD all the time, no matter what?; Most people would probably still disagree with the pastor, who by now is on the streets giving aid to the poor, the sick etc (being a good Samaritan), while his antagonist are made to appear as angry, jealous, and hateful people.
The next stage is *TOLERANCE*. This is where people say “Its not my place to judge. Let GOD fight for HIMSELF. etc.
Others may say, I really don't care about what he teaches, he's a good person, and that's what's important.
International pastors from abroad will come and affirm the goodness of this pastor, then they will use intellectual prowess to rubbish the Word of GOD, and make it look ridiculous to think that GOD can always be right.
Consequently the next stage is *ACCEPTANCE*. This is where the alternative idea of dissidence to GOD becomes entrenched as a Christian practice. It becomes the privilege of a higher level anointing, and or grace.
The outrage of those who still oppose the teaching is silenced by labelling them Rebels; They are considered antiquated, old-fashioned, intolerant, dogmatic, religious zealots, bigots etc.
The final step is VENERATION. This is the stage at which the people who practice that it's ok to disobey GOD sometimes are subtly promoted as ‘cool’, intelligent, exposed, and highly Graced.... - #regrann

ABOUT THE CHURCH GIRL
As a child, Mary Uwanna believed in the power of faith and love, and loved to tell stories of Princes. Everything changes when she loses her parents in one night, and is left to care for her three brothers. In a climate of corruption and immorality, even the Church was not a safe refuge for sixteen year old, Mary. She makes a decision that threatens to steal her destiny, until she meets her Prince.
Ifeanyi Chukwueke is not the Prince Mary had envisioned. He is a bad boy, with a reputation for breaking hearts. But his heart is set on Mary. Faced with her haunting past, he makes a decision to love her regardless… Until his own past comes to threaten their happily ever after – time and again!
The Church Girl is a story about a love that was destined, but tried in every way. Mary and Ifeanyi must learn that in order to live, they must first die to self, as their love and faith is tested through many trials and temptations.
Follow this roller-coaster ride about a love that overcomes all, that will grow your faith, or lead you to the One who holds the keys of Life. .

I know I'm late to the party, but I just #read @tokemakinwa's #OnBecoming. I really wasn't expecting much. I thought it was a #book that sold because she was popular, and it was #controversial. There were also some bad #reviews I read that made me question the good ones. And I knew nothing of the history or circumstances that inspired the book.
But I applaud the woman! Seriously! And it was very well written. There's really a story in all of us, no matter how bad our past is. We just have to be bold enough to tell it. I know many people will be inspired and blessed by her story.
The first screenshot shows the part of the book that resonated with me most!!! Even two or three pages after that. It's the chapter on faith, and this quote "I've learnt that even when we go left, His love is there to guide us aright" is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH! And it really put a lot into perspective in her book. Before then, I struggled whenever she spoke of her faith, cos I didn't see it. But this page revealed that she knew she hadn't been on the right path, but was now responding to God's call.
The second screenshot contains advice that I feel a need to challenge. She said "two people must part ways when happiness is no longer served on the table called marriage". My problem is really with the words "must" and "happiness". In light of all she wrote, I believe this is more of an editorial oversight and not really the message she is passing across.
Well, I would normally spotlight it, but... Who knows, I still might, though I don't really know what more needs to be said. Good read, Toke. And I pray you will continue to abide in Christ and not be moved by the opinions of men.

"Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow..." (Isaiah 50:11).

Then you did it again. You blocked me on Instagram. I returned home that afternoon happy after our time together and I was aching for more. At first, I waited for you to contact me, but when it was almost bedtime, I decided to send you a message.
I didn't really know what to say, because I didn't want to get your wife suspicious or worried, so I made it casual: "Hey, Lade. How was your day? Mine was great 😁"
