Idolatory in the house of God in Nigeria

Exodus 20:3 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"

If I returned to Nigeria today, I will not fit in to many of the current Evangelical - Pentecostal church system because of what I call IDOLATRY. I did not just suddenly develop this mindset, I have always been like this and some in my former church in Nigeria called me "proud" because I would not submit to human worship. Those who knew me would attest I have never disrespected any human authority in the church anywhere but I have never submitted my destiny into the hands of any man as is often demanded of many Christians in Nigeria. Some of my friends would attest to some of my predictions about the outcome of the WITCHCRAFT (effort to control the lives of others for selfish gain) that was (and is still) prevalent in many churches in Nigeria. They put other people's children under bondage and let loose their own - many lives have been ruined, many marriages destroyed, many potential relationship were thwarted, and the course of many live changed for worse.

The level of reverence many church goers in Nigeria give to the so called men of god, they do not accord one tenth of such to the God of the man of god. The say words like: "if not for the man of God, we would not be where we are" - really? What about God?; we honor our father in the Lord. There is no such thing as father in the lord (Matthew 23: 9 - "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.") - there is only one father in the house of God - that is the ALMIGHTY himself, no man deserve that level of honor - mere mortals, who tomorrows fails and the faith of many is ruined because it was never in God but in the man of god.

We will be surprised on the day of judgement, won't we?

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...

WHO SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT HAVE NUKES IN OUR WORLD TODAY?

I quote the father of nukes himself, Albert Einstein , “ Mankind invented the atomic bomb , but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap ”… No nation should have nukes. If some would, then any nation who want should be able to… current situation creates a power imbalance because those who have it are seen as extremely powerful, and those who don’t are extremely weak nations… Here is a list of nations with nukes – declared and undeclared: U.S., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, UK, Israel, and North Korea . These countries host nukes from other countries – Germany , Italy , Türkiye , Belgium , Netherlands and Belarus … Many of USSR ’s former regions like Ukraine and Kazakhstan had nukes, and were tricked to give them up, a decision they all regret today. It is known that Japan , though do not have nukes, have capabilities to develop and launch them within a short time, even from the space. Why can’t other nations have nukes? Ownership of nukes is why Iran is holding the...

U.S. SECRETLY BANNED MANY VISA CATEGORIES FOR NIGERIANS

  Secretly, the U.S. government has paused the issuance of OPT (Optional Practical Training - temporary work permit) to Nigerian students. They have also ceased awarding new student visas to Nigerians with full scholarships. They did this for several other visa categories, including F1 , asylum , and naturalization . It is not that you cannot apply; you can; they just will not process your visa. The reasoning behind this remains a mystery, other than the fact that Nigeria is a nation of concern. No Nigerian has carried out a terrorist attack on U.S. soil or anywhere outside their country... Some relate this to the non-cooperation of President Tinubu 's administration with the current U.S. government in making Nigeria a dumping ground for undocumented migrants. Ghanaians continue to enjoy access to all U.S. visas. The disheartening thing is that this ban/pause/whatever also extends to sponsorship of siblings and several other visa categories... A new executive order, a few days ago...
