You may have become a Christian because you came from a religious family or you became a Christian because you had the conviction or that's what your friends made you believe. But how did you really become a Christian?

Even though it was being taught me, I checked it against ordinary natural living and I saw that it was accurate and good and very gainful and sweet.

Now because of God, and His Son and His Teachings, I have found everything that the Bible said I could gain and life is very very sweet! Exactly as Written in the Bible!

Christians, it's high time you wake up from this wickedness, look at the crises in the financial sector.

The worst is yet to come in the form of Tinubu Shettima ticket, as if the muslim muslim ticket is not a wicked contraception, they decided to spite all Christian by fixing the rally for a Sunday by 9AM when people are about going to Church.
“We implore you all to disregard the earlier postponement notice. Scheduled as follows: Date: Sunday, October 9, 2022. Take-off point: Teslim Balogun Stadium. Termination point: Bolade Oshodi. Time: 9 am. Sorry once again for any inconvenience. Thank you.”

Taking the millions of Nigerians who are Christians to gutters.

Do you know the funny thing? most people will still come out and collect the 3k promised for each person.

Conviction I guess

Conviction beyond all reasonable and practicable doubt!

When I became a lawyer the first thing I did was to put God on trial, (imagine! But I really wanted to know especially as I was going to give Him dis my small life. At least make I check where I won put my life na, make I no make mistake) as an An Accused.and fired Him with every question which people say.

And like little Christ did to the teachers in the temple, I was marveled and blown by His Answers. No guilt at all if anything it was Goodness in Action.

So I acquitted Him and now I work joyfully and happily work for Him! grin

That is one of my several processes wherewith I was convinced of Him and now I love Him with my whole everything! grin

He is, Who He is! grin

Most people who claim Christianity by upbringing are not usually Christians aka Christ-like.

Christianity is not a Citizenship acquired by birth and compulsory indoctrination.

It is a citizenship that is acquired by the exercise of the Right to Choose which citizenship you will to acquire and whose citizenship you will to cast away.

That is how a valid Christian citizenship is acquired!

In the Country of Christ, Free and wilfull exercise of the personal right of choice is EVERYTHING!

Therefore, anyone who does not and did not go through due process can not and will not be a Citizen of Christ! Therefore not a Christian.

Sir I'm more Christ-like than many clergymen,

All those things are invalid! No be dem be Christ! So everything they did was a nullity even ab initio.

So, you were never a Christian at all.

Anything done by force (duress) is a nullity.

Consent is The Law!

And Consent Follows The Law!

And since you never gave consent, therefore, everything they did is rendered a nullity.

So, you were never a Christian at all even before you entered Catholic things.

You are talking about church goers (semi atheists) and not Christians.

"Every Christian knows that these are days of evil but it does not affect us. We dwell safely and sweetly in the Hands of The All Who is Mighty and Super Great as He had promised us.

So, we are not affected by the end of the world plagues.

We are just chilling, singing

"You are my light and salvation,
whom shall I fear?
You are the strength of all my days,
of whom shall I be afraid?
Though war may rise against me,
of this will I be sure.

Chorus:
That I will bless the Lord forever,
I'll bless Your holy Name.
Yes I will bless the Lord forever,
I'll bless Your holy Name


Lord it is you I desire,
it's You that I seek.
To live with You in Your house forever,
beholding Your beauty.


And In the time of trouble,
of this I will be sure
.

Chorus:
That I will bless the Lord forever,
I'll bless Your holy Name.
Yes I will bless the Lord forever,
I'll bless Your holy Name
grin

So no vex. Dis does not consain us.

Yeah, he tried to tone the word down. That's one of the problems I have with people from this part of the world. We don't tend to like saying things as they are. Always toning down or sugar coating to make it less offensive.

Force and duress make things unlawful

Consent is what rules exactly as you would not say that you are married, when you have been forced to marry a person who you did not choose.

So also, the mere fact that your parents forced you to China does not make you Chinese. Pervert!

No, I'm saying, what if religion wasn't taught until you get to a certain age. Do you really think many people will accept religion as it is now?
