When church activities become more important than personal intimacy with God. I know, I’m back again with this topic! Lol. Think of this as Part 2 of my previous blog, You Were Never Supposed to Know God Through the Church Only. There’s another side to this conversation I believe we need to explore. How many of us have fallen more in love with the church system than with God Himself? We love our church community, our pastors, the programs, the traditions, and the routines we’ve created. We’ve become so comfortable with them that we may not even realize something is missing. It’s easy to say, “I love God.” But does our private life reflect that confession? This blog might step on a few toes. Good! Lol. Sometimes we need to pull back the layers and examine our hearts. Are we truly walking with God in spirit and truth, or have we become religious people who are more attached to the activities surrounding God than to God Himself? I believe there are two simple areas that can reveal where our hearts truly are. 1. You’re More Bothered About Missing Church Than Not Reading Your Bible Daily. Let me ask you something. Why does missing one Sunday service bother you more than going days, weeks, or even months without opening your Bible? Think about that. You feel guilty when you miss church, but somehow you’re comfortable going days without reading God’s Word. How did church attendance become more important to us than personally knowing the God we’re going to church to worship? Joshua 1:8 instructs us to meditate on God’s Word day and night. In 1 Timothy 4:13, Paul tells Timothy: “Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.” (KJV) And just in case you didn’t know, doctrine simply means teachings of God’s Word. Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. The Greek word for hearing, akoē, refers to hearing or receiving a message. But somehow, we’ve limited hearing God’s Word to listening to sermons and conferences . Sermons and group gatherings are important, but they aren’t the only way to receive God’s Word. Scripture repeatedly emphasizes the importance of personally reading, studying, and meditating on His Word. So here’s my question: What Word are you personally feeding your faith with? The sermon you heard on Sunday or watched on YouTube? The Scripture someone posted on Instagram? The devotional you read this morning? Don’t get me wrong. These things can be helpful, but they should never replace personally studying Scripture. And when I say reading the scripture, I don’t mean only reading one verse or a devotional every day. I’m talking about intentionally opening your Bible and reading a chapter, honestly two chapters a day should be a starting point. A devotional is often someone else’s understanding of Scripture. That’s helpful, but when will you sit down and discover what the Word says for yourself? Come on, people. Let’s level up! Now, before anyone thinks I’m judging, I used to be this person! I could get so worked up about missing church, yet go days, sometimes even months, without consistently reading my Bible. Looking back, I had to confront something I never wanted to admit. I was more concerned about fulfilling a religious routine than cultivating a relationship with God. I wanted to show up at church, participate, and check that box. But what was happening in my secret place? Not much. I was more committed to the activities of the church than to my personal fellowship with God. And that’s dangerous because it can produce believers who look spiritually active on the outside but are spiritually shallow on the inside. Jesus addressed something similar in Matthew 15:8: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth,and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.” (NKJV) Now, think about this. Our lips can represent what we profess publicly, while our hearts reveal what is truly happening privately. See what I did there? Lol. We can sing, shout, pray, and worship publicly, yet have little personal fellowship with the God we’re singing about. Something is fundamentally wrong when we’re more concerned about being present in church than being present with God daily. 2. You Can Do Everything With the Church, but Barely Anything Alone With God This one might sting a little. You can pray for an hour at church, but at home, you struggle to pray for ten minutes. You can fast for 21 days when your church announces a corporate fast, but you rarely set aside time to fast personally. You attend Bible studies, prayer meetings, and worship nights, but when was the last time you intentionally studied Scripture or spent time praying without anyone else? Do you see the pattern? Your spiritual life is thriving in group activities but struggling in private. Now, I’m not saying your private prayer must always last as long as your corporate prayer. That’s not the point. The concern is when almost everything you do spiritually depends on someone else organizing it. You need a prayer meeting to pray, a Bible study group to study, or a church program to spend extended time seeking God. But what happens when nobody organizes anything? Does your fellowship with God stop? Jesus says in John 15:4 (NIV): “Remain in me, as I also remain in you.” Notice that Jesus calls us to abide in Him, not merely in church activities. Abiding in Christ is personal. No one can do it on your behalf. Jesus also teaches us in Matthew 6:6 to enter our room, shut the door, and pray to our Father in secret. Why? Because there must be a part of your relationship with God that exists beyond the presence of other people. Let me give you one of my favorite analogies. Imagine you’re courting someone, but every single time you go on a date, you bring your family and friends. Every. Single. Time. Breakfast date? Your cousins are there. Dinner date? Your siblings are coming. Brunch? The entire family has arrived! Lol. At what point do you actually get to know this person intimately? You might have wonderful group conversations, laugh together, and enjoy everyone’s company, but there’s a level of intimacy that requires time alone. There are conversations your partner may want to have with just you, things they may not share in front of everyone. Now, think about your relationship with God. Yes, God speaks through sermons, other believers, and corporate gatherings. But He also invites us into personal communion with Him. There are things He may want to reveal to you as you spend time alone in His Word and prayer. Things that challenge you, correct you, strengthen you, and draw you closer to Him. But are you making room for that intimacy? I’ll be direct. If you consistently make time for church activities but rarely make time for God privately, you need to examine what you’re truly prioritizing. And if you don’t have a daily personal time with God where you pray, read His Word, fellowship, and commune with Him, then perhaps you’ve fallen into the very category we’re discussing: people who love the church system more than God Himself. Because being committed to church activities or routines doesn’t automatically mean you’re committed to God. Being busy with the things of God is not the same as being intimate with God. And spiritual activity should never become a substitute for intimacy. I’m Not Advocating for Less Church. I’m Advocating for More Intimacy With God. Before anyone misunderstands me, let me say this again. I’m not advocating for less church. I’m advocating for a deeper personal walk with God. The Bible tells us not to forsake gathering together (Hebrews 10:25). Corporate fellowship is important, and we need one another. But imagine what the church could become if every believer prioritized their personal relationship with God not only corporate gatherings. Imagine believers who don’t only pray when there’s a prayer meeting. Believers who don’t only study Scripture when someone is teaching. Believers who don’t only worship when the music starts playing. Imagine the body of Christ as God intended it: every member growing spiritually, with every part—the eyes, ears, hands, feet, and all the other parts of the body—functioning in its God-given purpose, working together to strengthen the body and advance God’s Kingdom. A stronger personal walk with God can produce a stronger corporate body. I genuinely believe our gatherings would become even more impactful if we are all level up in our personal walk with God. So, I’ll leave you with these questions: If church activities stopped for a month, what would happen to your relationship with God? Would you still pray? Would you still study His Word? Would you still worship, seek Him, and walk in obedience? Or would your spiritual life come to a standstill? I’m not asking these questions to condemn anyone. I’m asking because I once had to confront them myself. And perhaps it’s time we all examine our hearts. Do we love God Himself, or have we become more attached to the church system we’ve built around Him? Church should strengthen your relationship with God, not become a substitute for it. He’s calling us deeper. But will we make room for Him when nobody else is watching? 🎶 Music Time! 🎶 “You Are Good” — Greatman Takit & Nathaniel Bassey 🙌🏽

I’m sure that title caught your attention. But hear me out. I believe one of the biggest lies many Christians have embraced today is that the church is the only place to know God, and that teaching people the ways of God is solely the church’s responsibility. This mindset has crippled many believers and weakened the spiritual foundation of families. Let me take you to the Bible. 1. Knowing God Started With an Individual, Not a Church Think about this: God created Adam and Eve long before there was a church, temple, or corporate gathering. That alone should tell us something. Knowing God began with personal fellowship. Before Eve came along, Adam had already been communing with God. God gave Adam instructions, including the command concerning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:16–17). When Eve came, Adam had a responsibility to communicate what God had instructed him to Eve. Now fast-forward to their children. In Genesis 4, Abel offered a sacrifice that pleased God. Where did he learn about offerings? Scripture doesn't explicitly say, but I believe his knowledge likely came through what was passed down by his parents and his own dealings with God. Do you see the pattern? Individual. Marriage. Family. Adam knew God personally before he entered marriage. It was through his personal relationship with God that he gained the knowledge and understanding needed to lead his wife (although he failed in some areas, lol) and eventually his children in the ways of God. Now, I know what you're thinking: What about Cain? Well, let's not forget that free will is a thing! You can teach someone the ways of God, but you cannot force them to follow Him. At the end of the day, everyone has a choice to make. Being taught about God doesn't automatically mean someone will choose to walk with Him. But that doesn't take away the responsibility of parents to create an environment where the ways of God are taught, practiced, and nurtured. You may not be able to control your children's choices, but you are responsible for the spiritual foundation you help build for them. And this pattern didn't end with Adam. 2. Abraham Walked With God Without Going to Church Here's another example that should make us pause. Abraham walked with God without attending a church service! 🤫 His relationship with God was built through personal encounters, obedience, faith, and personal fellowship. And God said something remarkable about Abraham: "For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD..." — Genesis 18:19 (KJV) God expected Abraham to teach his household His ways. Not outsource it. Not leave it to someone else. Abraham passed down the knowledge of God to Isaac, and Isaac to Jacob. Each generation also had to develop their own relationship with God. Notice something important here. God wasn't just interested in Abraham knowing Him. He was also interested in Abraham passing down that knowledge to his family. This wasn't just an expectation for Abraham. God later gave the same responsibility to the entire nation of Israel. 3. God Never Gave the Church Your Responsibility as a Parent In Deuteronomy 6:6–7, God instructed the Israelites to keep His words in their hearts and teach them diligently to their children. Not just on the Sabbath. Not just during religious gatherings. But when sitting at home, walking, lying down, and rising up. In other words, teaching God's ways was supposed to be part of everyday family life. Joshua understood this responsibility when he declared: "But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." — Joshua 24:15 (KJV) But something tragic happened after Joshua's generation. Judges 2:10 tells us another generation arose that did not know the Lord or the works He had done for Israel. Imagine that! A generation had witnessed God's mighty works, yet another generation arose that did not know Him. Somewhere along the way, the knowledge of God failed to take root in the next generation. And that should make every parent pause. Because what happens when one generation fails to pass down the knowledge of God? The next generation may inherit religious traditions without truly knowing the God behind them. And I believe we're seeing a similar problem today. 4. We Are Passing Down Religious Traditions, Not How to Walk With God This is where it gets uncomfortable. Many Christian families are passing down religion without the substance of knowing God and truly walking with Him. We teach our children to attend church on Sunday, go to Bible study, pray when they need something, and behave like good Christians. But is that all Christianity is? Many believers rarely study their Bibles personally. Some have been Christians for decades but have never read the entire Bible even once. Yet we're supposed to teach our children the ways of a God we barely take time to know ourselves. So what exactly are we passing down? Traditions? Culture? Our opinions? Misinterpreted Scripture? Our pastor's understanding of God? Sometimes, without realizing it, we're passing down spiritual confusion. We can teach our children our native languages, cultural traditions, and family history with great dedication, yet struggle to teach them the Word of God in the pattern God intended for us to follow. There's nothing wrong with preserving culture. But when culture takes priority over knowing God, something is wrong. We have raised generations who know how to attend church but don't necessarily know how to walk with God. And that's a serious problem. But perhaps one of the biggest reasons we're passing down religion instead of a genuine walk with God is that we've handed over our spiritual responsibilities to someone else. 5. Stop Outsourcing Your Spiritual Responsibility! Somewhere along the way, we began treating pastors as though they were the only people capable of understanding Scripture. We tell ourselves: "My pastor understands the Bible better than I do." "I can't interpret Scripture like him." "I'll just listen to his sermons." We've belittled ourselves and forgotten our identity in Christ. The same Holy Spirit who helps your pastor understand Scripture is available to you! Does that mean you don't need pastors or teachers? Absolutely not. God gave them to equip the saints (Ephesians 4:11–12). But being taught by someone should never replace your responsibility to seek God for yourself. And parents, Sunday school is not a substitute for spiritual parenting! Proverbs 22:6 says: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (KJV) That responsibility begins with you, sir and ma! The church should strengthen what is being built at home, not be the only place where anything is being built. We need to level up spiritually! And this brings me back to the main point of this entire discussion. 6. Your Church Cannot Walk With God for You Fellowship with God comes first. Fellowship with others flows from it. Please don't misunderstand me. I love the church, and corporate fellowship is biblical and necessary (Hebrews 10:25). But think about this: How spiritually impactful can a gathering be when 90% of the people have weak personal fellowship with God? Nothing exciting about that one! Lol. We cannot keep expecting the church to do for us what we are neglecting to do in our own personal relationship with God. There has to be a balance. I'm not saying don't go to church or fellowship with other believers. What I'm saying is, don't allow corporate worship to replace your personal intimacy with God. Some things must be cultivated in private, between you and God, without anyone else involved. Adam and Abraham's lives remind us that knowing God is deeply personal. And the New Testament shows us the importance of gathering with other believers. These are not competing responsibilities. Please, I’m not advocating for less church. I’m advocating for a more intentional, personal walk with God. There’s a difference! Corporate fellowship should strengthen our personal walk with God, not replace it. Otherwise, we'll continue raising spiritually weak families, Christians who profess faith without truly knowing God, and believers who remain spiritual babies despite spending decades in church. At some point, we must grow! I'll End With This... My plea is simple. When you stand before God on judgment day, you will give an account of your own life. Philippians 2:12 tells us: "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." (KJV) Notice the word OWN. Not your pastor's salvation. Not your spouse's. Not your parents'. Yours. So yes, attend church. Serve. Fellowship. Learn from your pastors. BUT Know God for yourself. Read your Word. Teach your spouse and children His ways. Build a home where God's Word is lived, not just quoted. Because the greatest inheritance you can leave your children is not merely the tradition of going to church, but the knowledge of God and what it means to walk with Him. I pray God gives us the wisdom, discipline, and grace to return to His pattern. The church is a place of fellowship, but your relationship with God was never meant to exist only within its four walls. 🎶 Music Time! 🎧 “Heaven has come” — Ty Bello

Today I want to talk about one of my favorite and most dreaded topics. MUSIC. This is truly an area of deliverance in my life. God delivered this music head from the bondage of worldly music. 😂 I tell people all the time, in the world I wasn’t some crazy sinner. I was actually kind of boring lol. I didn’t sleep around. I can count how many times I’ve been high or drunk. My body count is two. I’ve never masturbated or watched porn. Nevertheless…I was still sinning. Because the enemy is smart and strategic . He understands that he has to use different tactics for different people. For some, it’s fornication. For others, masturbation, porn, drinking, material things, ratchet & show-off lifestyles . Then there’s a category we don’t talk about enough: Perverse entertainment. That’s where he got me. My mentality was: I can listen to it. I can watch it. As long as I don’t actually do it. LOL. Really??? “It’s just a movie.” “It’s just a song.” “What’s the big deal?” Oh, it’s deep. I’m giving you this context so you understand I’m not a novice when it comes to music. I genuinely had a passion for music. Actually, let’s call it what it was: Music was an idol. So Let’s Put Music in Order This blog came from a video I saw where a lady was talking about the sounds we’re bringing into the church. I agreed with some of her sentiments, but I also felt some of the arguments weren’t well defined. So let’s bring some order to this thing called music. Music has many functions, but as believers it should serve only two major purposes. 1. Music as worship unto God The highest purpose of music is worship. And worship isn’t only singing about what God has done for us. It is adoring Him for who He is. His holiness. His power. His majesty. His wisdom. His faithfulness. His character. Think about marriage. You don’t only tell your husband or wife, “I love you,” when they do something for you. Sometimes you adore them simply because of who they are. How much more God? There is music that is specifically directed unto Him, and that worship should carry reverence and awe. 2. Music for other areas of life Then there is music for what I’ll call our “extra-curricular” life. Celebrations. Weddings. Birthdays. Working out. Driving.Chilling. Family gatherings. Just enjoying life. The song could be about love. Marriage. Friendship. Politics. Overcoming hardship. Forgiveness. Family. Joy. Life. You can dance. You can vibe. You can celebrate. But even then, the song should still align with God’s principles and standard. And we still tie God’s name back to the song…. I shouldn’t be singing about love and suddenly start glorifying fornication. So now we have two categories: Music specifically directed unto God in worship. And music about other areas of life that still operate within godly principles. Both can be Christian. But both do not serve the same purpose. And THAT is where I think we are getting confused. A Christian love song about a husband and wife may be completely clean and beautiful. Would I play it at a wedding? Absolutely. Would I play it during corporate worship when we have gathered to reverence and worship God? No. Not because the song is bad. Wrong purpose. Wrong setting. Every Christian SONG does not automatically belong in a church worship service. Now Let’s Talk About the Sound Here’s where I think another problem enters. This issue mostly affects the second purpose of music I highlighted: “extracurricular music for life”—Christian songs that aren’t necessarily meant to be played during church service . Let’s talk about it. Some people only accept “traditional-sounding Christian music” for both worship unto God and everyday life. The moment Christian music sounds UPBEAT or modernized ( for lack of a better word), it’s automatically associated with secular music: “That’s worldly.” But some of those same people will turn around after worship and listen to actual worldly R&B, hip-hop, or Afrobeat where the lyrics glorify fornication, lust, pride, drunkenness, violence—and everything else they just sang against in the worship song UNTO GOD. Hmmm. 🤔 That’s where it becomes hypocritical. You reject the Christian modernized or upbeat song because the sound reminds you of the “world”, but accept the worldly song carrying an ungodly message? I’m still establishing my point, please stay with me…. Let’s paint a picture…. Imagine a Christian becoming president. Would you say: “Presidents have done wicked things, so Christians shouldn’t become presidents”? No. You would expect that Christian to use the position differently. The problem isn’t necessarily the position. The problem is what the person occupying it does with it. Now apply that principle to sound. The enemy did not create sound. God did. The enemy’s specialty is perversion. He takes something and twists its purpose. So yes, some sounds have absolutely been partnered with darkness. Some music is created in environments of drugs, sexual immorality, occult practices, rebellion, and ungodly inspiration—and then those sounds are partnered with lyrics that glorify the same things. The sound and the lyrics were birthed from the kingdom of darkness….. We should not be naive about that. But here’s the other side we cannot ignore: just because the world introduced you to upbeat music doesn’t mean the world owns upbeat music. Sometimes something sounds “worldly” to us simply because the worldly version reached our ears first. The enemy got there first and perverted it. That doesn’t automatically make upbeat music itself evil. The real question is: By what spirit, what spirit is behind the inspiration? God can definitely inspire upbeat music. Music you can dance to. Music you can celebrate. Music you can work out to. Music you can play at your wedding. Music you can enjoy without filling your ears with fornication, lust, pride, violence, drugs, and everything else God is trying to remove from you. Why should Christians have to go back to the world every time we want to chill, dance and celebrate? That makes no sense to me. There can be Christian music where the beat, sound and lyrics are inspired by the holy spirit. Hopefully we are tracking, this is the part I really want us to understand—every Christian song cannot be played for worship in church. Just because a Christian artist makes an upbeat, clean, God-centered Afro gospel song does not mean I now need to hear it during Sunday worship. Why? Because the lyrics may have nothing to do with worshiping the majesty, awe, holiness, and power of God. It might simply be a fun, joyful song with godly principles—and that brings us right back to the two purposes of Christian music we highlighted earlier. Something can be godly without being appropriate for that particular moment. Play it at the wedding. Play it at the birthday party. Play it at the bridal shower. Play it at the gym. Play it after church. Dance to it at the cookout. 😂 Enjoy it! But know the difference between Christian music for everyday life and activities and music specifically offered unto God in worship at church. Not every Christian song belongs in a worship service. There is a time, a place, and a purpose for things—and that distinction matters. And when we fail to understand that, we create confusion and disorder. So my point is really twofold: Stop calling every Christian upbeat music worldly simply because the world exposed you to a corrupted version first. The Holy Spirit is still in the business of inspiring godly music… But also: Stop bringing every Christian song into corporate worship simply because it has a godly message. Those are two different errors. Some music is unto God for worship. Some music allows us to enjoy the life God gave us according to His principles. Both can honor God. But they are not interchangeable. I’ll close by saying this …. The moment the world leads our understanding of music more than the holy Spirit, we will miss it. And the moment we lose reverence and forget that there is a proper time and place for things, we will miss it too. Know the sound. Know the message. Know the purpose. And know the setting. Music Time Nathaniel Bassey — “Hungry for You”

Today, I’m talking about one of the most important books in the Bible… Readers: Hmmm… what book??? 👀 Me: A book I used to DREAD reading… The book of Leviticus. Readers: Uhhh… really? THAT book? 😭 Me: I know, I know. Stay with me. Interesting intro, huh? 😂 Don’t mind me. Let’s unpack today’s blog. After reading Leviticus multiple times, one of my biggest takeaways is this: Leviticus is a book about God’s instructions for a holy people. It lays a foundation for understanding holiness, separation, and consecration, what it truly means to be set apart unto God. And somehow, this book has earned a reputation as one of the most boring books in the Bible. SMH… Meanwhile, it contains some of the deepest foundations for understanding how God views holiness, a major doctrine and principle God highlights all through out the Bible. Remember: “Pursue… holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” — Hebrews 12:14 Holiness is not a minor doctrine. We cannot say Jesus has transformed our lives while refusing the holy life He calls us to. That would be contradictory. Leviticus makes this clear. It contains instructions concerning food, worship, relationships, sexuality, cleanliness, sacrifices, priesthood, and even who priests were permitted to marry (very detailed) . Although we no longer practice some of these laws, particularly the ceremonial laws, because of what Christ accomplished on the cross, the book of Leviticus still provides a powerful foundation for understanding God’s holiness, His standards, and what it means to live a life that is set apart for Him. It gives us deeper insight into the nature and character of God, what He considers holy and unholy, and the importance of obedience and consecration in our walk with Him. One statement echoes throughout the book: “Be holy, for I am holy.” And guess what? Peter repeats that same command to believers in the New Testament (1 Peter 1:15–16). So no, holiness did not disappear when Jesus came. Now let’s dig deeper. 1. Holiness Touches the Whole Person One thing that stood out to me is how Leviticus addresses the whole person. Holiness was not limited to religious ceremonies. It touched the body, the soul, and the spirit. The Body: Physical Holiness Leviticus contains laws concerning food, bodily discharges, disease, childbirth, skin conditions, garments, and physical cleanliness. Through these instructions, God was teaching Israel that being set apart touched even their physical lives. Their bodies and daily routines mattered to Him. The Soul: Moral Holiness Leviticus also addresses desires, relationships, choices, conscience, and how people treated one another. Don’t hate your brother. Love your neighbor as yourself. Don’t gossip. Don’t show partiality. Honor your parents. Help the poor. Don’t commit adultery. Don’t engage in sexual immorality. Holiness in Leviticus was not limited to what happened inside the Tabernacle. It affected how people lived when they walked out of it. The Spirit: Spiritual Holiness Then there were laws directly concerning worship and relationship with God. Do not worship idols. Do not seek mediums or familiar spirits. Keep God’s Sabbaths. Observe the appointed feasts. Bring the offerings God commanded. And this is what I find so powerful: Man is body, soul, and spirit—and God’s call to holiness touches all three. If we truly belong to God, our relationship with Him must touch every area of our lives. This truth is echoed in the New Testament, where we are called to present our bodies as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1) and be wholly sanctified in spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). True consecration is not partial surrender; it is giving God all of who we are. I’ll go deeper into these three areas in another blog because whew… there’s A LOT there. 😂 But this leads to another important truth. 2. Sin and Defilement Are Not Always the Same Thing This was another major revelation for me. Leviticus does not only deal with sin. It also deals with uncleanness/ defilement. And those are not always the same thing. For example, touching a dead body could make someone ceremonially unclean. That did not automatically mean the person had committed a sin. That distinction matters because it reveals a principle we still need to understand today: Not everything that affects your consecration begins as an obvious sin. I often tell people that there are sins and there are weights. Hebrews 12:1 tells us to lay aside “every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us.” Notice that it mentions weight AND sin. A weight may not be inherently sinful, but it can still begin pulling your heart away from God. Watching the news isn’t a sin. But if you consume so much of it that fear controls your mind, your desire to pray disappears, your peace is gone, and your attention becomes consumed by everything except God… Something that was not inherently sinful has now started affecting your spiritual condition. The same can happen with entertainment. Social media. Friendships. Even things that appear completely normal. The question cannot always be: “Is this technically a sin?” Sometimes the better question is: “What is this doing to my heart?” Is it drawing me toward God, or is it slowly making me numb to Him? Is it helping my consecration, or is it fighting against it? Because holiness is not merely about avoiding a list of obvious sins. It is about belonging completely to God. 3. Holiness Means Set-apart unto God. That is what Leviticus keeps revealing. God was teaching His people: You are Mine. Therefore, you cannot live like everyone else. Their worship had to be different. Their relationships had to be different. Their priorities had to be different. Their daily lives had to reflect the God they belonged to. And that is why I no longer see Leviticus as the boring book I have to survive. I see it as a foundation. It teaches us the seriousness of holiness, the beauty of consecration, the danger of defilement, and what it means to be a people separated unto God. Leviticus in One Sentence God is holy, and He teaches His people how to live, worship, and approach Him as holy. Maybe Leviticus wasn’t boring after all. Maybe we just didn’t realize how many truths were hiding inside it. 👀 And perhaps the greatest truth is this: God does not call us to holiness to restrict our lives. He calls us to holiness because that’s the only way we can truly see him. When we understand that, Leviticus stops feeling like a list of ancient rules and starts looking like an invitation—to live fully consecrated to a holy God. 🎶 Music Time Theophilus Sunday & TY Bello — “Heart’s Cry”

“Stop judging me!” “It’s judgmental!” Okay… says who? “Judge” might be one of the most misunderstood words in Christianity today. We’ve reached a point where simply saying something is wrong can get you called judgmental. And sometimes, “don’t judge me” has become a shield people use to protect, excuse, and continue in sin without anyone challenging them. But like my big bro says: “It’s not judgment to say what the Judge said.” That line will make sense by the end. I believe one tactic of the enemy is to distort the meaning of words. Because if you can change what a word means in people’s minds, you can change how they respond to what God actually said. So let’s talk about the word judge. What Does “Judge” Actually Mean? One of the primary Greek words translated “judge” in the New Testament is κρίνω (krinō). Depending on the context, it can mean to distinguish, evaluate, decide, determine, form a judgment, give a verdict, or condemn. Based on the definition of the word, there are really two parts to the word judge: discernment level and verdict level. Think about a murder case. I can look at the evidence and say, “This person committed murder,” based on my evaluation of the evidence I’ve seen (discernment level) . But I’m not the judge sitting on the bench, so I don’t get to hand down the sentence or verdict (verdict level). It’s the same spiritually. I can look at something and say, “Scripture calls this sin and the consequences.” But I don’t get to sentence someone’s soul to hell. That verdict belongs to God. Now that we understand the difference, let’s look at how the Bible actually uses the word “judge.” Let’s cover five areas. 1. Foundation: God Is the Ultimate Judge Let’s establish this first. God is Judge. “God is a just judge…” — Psalm 7:11 And Psalm 96:13 says He will judge the world “with righteousness” and the peoples “with His truth.” God has the authority to judge perfectly because He knows everything perfectly. He doesn’t judge from appearances, incomplete information, personal bias, jealousy, favoritism, or hypocrisy. His judgment is righteous. He discerns and ultimately makes the final verdict… 2. But God Also Gave People Responsibility to Judge This is where the conversation gets interesting. If judging were automatically sinful, why did God appoint judges? “You shall appoint judges and officers… and they shall judge the people with just judgment.” — Deuteronomy 16:18 Moses judged disputes among Israel in Exodus 18:13. God raised judges in Judges 2:18. Numbers 35:24 describes the congregation judging certain matters. And this doesn’t stop with government. Paul tells believers: “Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?” — 1 Corinthians 6:2 Then he takes it further: “Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?” — 1 Corinthians 6:3 So Scripture does not teach the complete absence of judgment. There is God’s judgment—He is the supreme Judge. There is governmental judgment—authority delegated to maintain justice and order. And there is individual judgment—where believers must distinguish truth from error, examine fruit, evaluate conduct, settle certain disputes, and even judge themselves. That is why Jesus gives us a principle for judging: “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” — John 7:24 Notice what Jesus didn’t say. He didn’t say, “Never judge anything.” He said: Judge righteously. 3. Yes, We Can Judge—but God Determines the Standard Here is where we can get ourselves in trouble. Just because Scripture permits judgment does not mean we get to judge however we want. The question isn’t: “What do I think about this?” The question is: “What has God said about this?” 2 Chronicles 19:6 says: “Take heed to what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the LORD…” That changes everything. You don’t create the standard. God does. Our opinions are not Scripture. Our culture is not Scripture. Our traditions are not Scripture. Our feelings are not Scripture. 4. Yes, We Can Judge—but Not Everything Deserves Your Judgment This one is important because sometimes we really do judge people over nonsense. 😂 The book of Romans addresses believers judging one another over food and certain practices that have nothing to do with God’s standards. Colossians 2:16 says: “So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths…” There is a difference between calling something wrong because God called it wrong and calling something wrong because you personally don’t like it. We cannot turn personal convictions into universal commandments. For example: I might say jollof rice is better than fried rice. God has no position on that. 😂 Sounds ridiculous, right? But you would be surprised how much judgment happens because people confuse their preferences with God’s commandments. Coughs ** think of denominations. 😂 Someone won’t even marry a Baptist because they’re Pentecostal. Meanwhile… did God say that, or did your denomination? There’s a difference. 5. “But the Bible Says Judge Not!” Let’s Clarify That Now let’s deal with the famous one. “Judge not, that you be not judged.” — Matthew 7:1 Conversation over, right? Not quite. Keep reading. Jesus talks about someone noticing the speck in their brother’s eye while having a plank in their own. Then He says: “Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” — Matthew 7:5 Did you catch it? Jesus never said: Leave your brother’s speck alone forever. He said: Deal with your plank first. The warning is against hypocritical judgment. Don’t come judging a matter while refusing to confront yourself. Righteous judgment starts with self-examination. So What Does Biblical Judgment Actually Look Like? God is the ultimate Judge. God establishes the standard. He delegates judgment within certain spheres of authority. Believers are called to exercise righteous judgment and discernment according to His standard. Hypocritical, partial, self-righteous, and unjust judgment is condemned. And our personal preferences, traditions, and opinions must never become God’s law. So the biblical message is much more precise than: “Don’t judge.” The better questions are: By whose standard are you judging? Are you judging according to truth or merely appearance? Do you actually understand what God has said about the matter? Are you guilty of the same thing you’re judging? Did God call this wrong—or did you? And lastly, the posture of our heart matters when judging a matter. The goal shouldn’t simply be to call somebody out, embarrass them, or prove that we’re right. The goal should be truth, correction, and restoration. There should still be love in our posture. And remember what we learned about love: love doesn’t mean being nice all the time. :) So next time somebody says: “Don’t judge me!” Remember: It’s not judgment to say what the Judge already said. Now you get it. 😉 🎶 Music Time Marizu & Buchi — “Big God” 🔥 I love this duo! Father and son singing together—love to see generational blessings being passed down. ❤️🙌🏾

Can I start by saying thank You, Jesus! This month has truly been a blessing. I met two people who impacted my life so deeply, and it was such an honor meeting them. But that’s a blog for another day . Today, we’re talking about Aaron—and what I believe was one of the greatest mistakes he made. Now before we start, Aaron was a great guy, okay? 😂 No hard feelings toward Aaron. The beautiful thing about the Bible is that it allows us to learn from real people. One minute, we see someone doing something incredible. The next minute, we see their humanity, weakness, and mistakes. And Aaron’s mistake was BIG. The First High Priest Made the Golden Calf Moses went up the mountain to meet with God for forty days. While he was gone, Israel became impatient. Think about it: these people had become accustomed to experiencing God through Moses. Now their visible leader had disappeared. So they panicked. “We need something to follow.” They went to Aaron—and this is where his response shocks me. Aaron didn’t rebuke them. He didn’t remind them of what God had literally just commanded them: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image…” — Exodus 20:4 NKJV And just a couple of chapters later, God made the consequences of idolatry even clearer: “He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.” — Exodus 22:20 NKJV This wasn’t some vague instruction Aaron could have misunderstood. God had already spoken. Aaron didn’t say, Have you people forgotten what God JUST commanded us? Have you forgotten what He did in Egypt?! Instead, he gave in. He collected their gold and made the golden calf. Then it gets worse. Aaron built an altar and announced a feast. Wait…a feast?! God had given Israel the Feast of Unleavened Bread to celebrate their deliverance from Egypt. Now Aaron creates a golden calf and declares a feast. Do you see what happened? He copied God’s system and attached it to false worship. He didn’t just create an idol—he gave idolatry a religious structure. That is terrifying. So Was Aaron Weak? I believe there was a combination of things happening. One: Aaron had witnessed incredible miracles, but had what he seen become deeply rooted in what he believed? Seeing the power of God doesn’t automatically mean you deeply know and trust God. Two: Aaron seemed vulnerable to the pressure of people. When the crowd pushed, he gave in instead of standing on what God had already said. He knew better—but in that moment, the pressure of the people became louder than the command of God. And that decision didn’t end with Aaron. Now Fast-Forward Centuries… Israel eventually split into two kingdoms. Jeroboam became the first king of the northern kingdom. Jeroboam became afraid that if his people continued traveling to Jerusalem to worship, their loyalty might eventually return to the house of David. So what did he do? He created another system. And look at what appears again: Golden calves. One in Bethel. One in Dan. But Jeroboam went even further. He appointed priests outside God’s prescribed priesthood and established his own festival. Are you tracking with me?! What appeared during Aaron’s leadership centuries earlier now reappeared as an established religious system under a king. And Jeroboam’s system didn’t disappear when Jeroboam died. Scripture repeatedly describes later kings as continuing in his sin, and 2 Kings 17 connects Israel’s persistent idolatry—including the calves—with the rebellion that eventually preceded the northern kingdom’s exile and destruction. Aaron made a calf. Jeroboam built a system around calves. Generations continued the system. That should make every spiritual /family leader tremble. Leaders Have to Understand Their Influence Here is what really struck me: What spiritual leadership tolerates today can become what society normalizes tomorrow. Sometimes we look at what is happening in society and ask, How did we get here? But if we trace certain compromises backward, we may discover that they were tolerated in the church long before they became normalized in society. Aaron didn’t know Jeroboam. He never saw the northern kingdom. He never witnessed what happened centuries later. But the golden calf episode shows something sobering about leadership: A leader can introduce something without living long enough to see how far it travels. That is why spiritual leaders cannot afford to be people pleasers! Compassion for people—or pressure from people—cannot become permission to disobey God. Sometimes loving people means being willing to tell them no when what they want goes against what God has said. Aaron the High Priest Aaron was chosen by God. Aaron became Israel’s first high priest. Aaron experienced incredible things with God. Yet even a chosen leader could make a devastating mistake when he allowed the voice of the people to become louder than the voice of God. Every leader must know God’s Word and remain deeply rooted in intimacy with Him. Because sometimes the seed you casually permit today can become a system somebody else builds tomorrow. 🎶 Music Time 🎶 “Legendary Moves” — Zee 🔥🎧

Randomly, I’m lying in my bed, not feeling the best, coughing and sneezing, when something drops into my spirit: Write about therapy. LOL. So here I am, writing this between coughs and sneezes. Maybe this is an urgent word for somebody… Don’t mind me…. Let’s get into it. Therapy is an interesting topic because I’m seeing more and more Christians embrace it—which, by itself, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The problem is that sometimes we are doing therapy exactly the way the world does it, then simply putting the word Christian in front of it. And that should concern us. The Bible has a lot to say about the mind, anxiety, fear, worry, trauma, grief, forgiveness, bitterness, relationships, thought patterns, peace, wisdom, and counsel. God clearly cares about our emotional and mental well-being. Scripture doesn’t only cover our spiritual health; it also speaks to the mind, emotions, and body. Scripture tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). It tells us to take thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5). Philippians 4:6–8 gives us a strategy for anxiety and even tells us what to set our minds on. Proverbs repeatedly speaks about the importance of wise counsel. So seeking counsel isn’t the problem. The question is: What is the counsel rooted in? We are body, soul, and spirit. Our soul includes our mind, will, and emotions, and sometimes healing touches multiple areas of our lives. But if we are spiritual beings and completely remove the spiritual dimension from healing, we can end up treating symptoms while completely missing the root. My Experience With Therapy My own experience with therapy exposed two dimensions I believe we need to understand. A few years ago, I went to therapy. I had never really been someone who felt like I needed therapy, but because of the sensitivity of what I was dealing with at the time, I decided to go. Looking back now, I realize something: I didn’t primarily need therapy. I needed spiritual maturity. First Dimension: What Is the Counsel Rooted In? My therapist identified as Christian, but when she presented her approach, everything centered around her professional training, credentials, and therapeutic methods. Her faith seemed completely separate from her profession. At the time, I didn’t recognize that as a red flag. Today, I would. Because if you are a Christian therapist, your faith cannot simply be something you practice on Sunday while your profession operates from an entirely different worldview and ideology. That doesn’t mean every sentence has to begin with, “The Bible says…” You don’t have to quote Matthew 6:33 every five minutes to give biblical counsel. But the foundation of your counsel should agree with God’s Word. Let me paint a picture. I’m a recruiter, and yes, my professional experience matters. My knowledge matters. My skills matters. But I’ve also had moments at work where I genuinely didn’t know what to do next—and I had to stop and ask the Holy Spirit for help. My expertise doesn’t eliminate my need for God. I still need the Holy Spirit to help me do what I’ve been professionally trained to do. So when I encounter a faith-believing professional who believes God must be completely separated from their profession, something feels off. God should be the bedrock—not an accessory. Here’s another example from this same therapist. And before I tell this story, please understand—I do not think she was a bad person. I genuinely believe she had good intentions and wanted to help. But that’s exactly the point: good intentions don’t automatically make advice biblical. She gave me and someone advice that was rooted more in the wisdom and systems of this world than in the wisdom of God & even made the situation WORSE…. Good heart. Good intentions. Wrong foundation. 😭😂 Now, let me tell you what happened… The therapist was trying to give us tools to navigate conflict, and one of those tools was that it was okay to go DAYS without speaking to each other so we could calm down and process. Now, there was some truth in that advice—but there was also a BIG “but.” 😂 Yes, people need time to process. Sometimes you need to step away before you say something out of anger that you’ll regret. But processing should not become prolonged silence into days. Scripture tells us to be “slow to speak, slow to anger” (James 1:19), but Scripture also pushes us toward forgiveness, reconciliation, and peace quickly. Paul says, “Do not let the sun go down on your anger” (Ephesians 4:26). This verse gives us a timeline. There’s an urgency there—don’t allow anger to sit, grow, and create unnecessary distance. So yes, take time to process. Calm down before you speak. But don’t allow “I need space” to become days of unresolved anger and silence. And guys, remember—the therapist was a Christian. 🙃 That’s what made this such an important lesson for me. Looking back, that particular advice subtly encouraged distance when what we really needed were tools that helped us process without disconnecting, communicate without exploding, forgive without keeping score. Second Dimension: Sometimes the Problem Isn’t Just Emotional or Mental This is another area where I believe Christian therapy has to be different. Sometimes what a person is experiencing is emotional. Sometimes it’s psychological. Sometimes there are physical factors involved. And sometimes there is a spiritual issue underneath everything else. We need wisdom to know the difference. In my situation, I eventually realized there was a gap in my knowledge of God. I needed to mature spiritually. I needed deeper revelation of His character, His Word, and my identity in Him. No amount of therapy could substitute for that growth. I could have sat in therapy week after week analyzing my emotions, triggers, and experiences—and some of those conversations may have been useful—but they could never replace what I actually needed: To know God more deeply. And this is where therapy can become dangerous for believers when it operates outside biblical truth. You can spend years learning how to explain your bondage without ever becoming free from it. You can learn the vocabulary for every wound and still never allow God to heal it. You can understand exactly why you behave the way you do while continuing to behave that way. Awareness is valuable. But awareness is not the same thing as transformation. Check the Counsel What saddens me is seeing believers receive advice in therapy that directly contradicts Scripture—and sometimes they don’t even recognize it. Why? Because if we don’t know the Word of God, what are we measuring the counsel against? This is something I think Christians need to understand: No psychological framework is completely neutral. Every psychological framework carries assumptions about human behavior, identity, morality, relationships, healing, sexuality, forgiveness, the purpose of life, and what ultimately makes a person whole. And those ideas have foundations. Some have been shaped by secular philosophies. Some draw from ideologies that do not recognize God’s word and principles at all. Some therapeutic ideas and practices have been influenced by alternative spiritual beliefs, Eastern religions, or other worldviews that directly contradict Scripture. Something can sound therapeutic, compassionate, progressive, and even wise—and still lead you away from biblical truth. As Christians, we cannot blindly accept every piece of advice simply because the person giving it has letters behind their name. Professional credentials deserve respect. But credentials do not outrank God’s Word and principles. And let me be clear: I am not saying therapy is bad. What I am saying is that Christians must discern the counsel we receive. A therapist can help you identify patterns, process experiences, and develop tools. But therapy should never replace the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, prayer, and spiritual maturity. Because sometimes what we call a mental battle has a spiritual root. Sometimes “protecting our peace” is unforgiveness. Sometimes “setting boundaries” becomes an excuse to avoid biblical reconciliation. Sometimes “being true to ourselves” conflicts with what Christ is asking us to surrender. And sometimes we become so skilled at explaining our bondage that we forget Jesus came to make us free. You can know every trigger, attachment style, childhood wound, and reason you respond the way you do—and still be bound. Understanding where the chains came from is not the same as breaking them. I believe we are going to see more truly faith-based therapists rise in the marketplace—professionally trained, wise, compassionate, and skilled, yet unwilling to separate their faith from their profession. Therapists who understand psychology without making psychology their god. Therapists who don’t just help people cope, but point them toward truth. Therapists who know when someone needs practical tools—and when someone simply needs to go deeper with God. Therapists who understand the mind while still making room for the Holy Spirit. Because God is interested in the whole person: our minds, emotions, bodies, and spirit. He desires His people to walk in truth, wholeness, and freedom. Don’t let therapy hinder your growth with God because you would rather keep analyzing and talking about an issue than go deeper with Him. There are things you cannot talk your way into. At some point, you have to take what you are wrestling with before God, search His Word, allow Him to expose what is underneath it, and let His truth do the deeper work. I’ll close by saying this … Therapy may give you language for your pain. But language alone cannot set you free. Only the power of truth—God’s Word—can make you free. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32 🎶 Music Time Kaestrings - Rahama 🙏🏽

When I fully surrendered my life to God, every area got attacked. 😂 My clothes. My food. My friendships. My environment. My language. And let’s not forget… ENTERTAINMENT. Everything had to go through transformation. But I think entertainment is one of the areas Christians struggle to take seriously because we don't always see what we're watching or listening to as sin. We see it as a weight. “It's not technically a sin.” Okay…but a weight can eventually lead you into sin. And even when the weight itself never becomes sinful, it can still become heavy enough to pull your heart away from God. Hebrews 12:1 tells us to lay aside “every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us.” Notice Scripture distinguishes between the two. Every weight AND sin. Meaning something doesn't necessarily have to be sinful for you to need to put it down. That's important. Because we spend so much time asking: “But is it a sin?” When sometimes the better question is: “What is this doing to my heart?” Because a weight entertained long enough can become a doorway to sin. And even if it never does, if it's pulling your affection, attention, hunger, and time away from God, why are you fighting so hard to keep it? That is where entertainment becomes serious. Let’s go back to the foundation I believe one major reason we aren't seeing enough truly transformed believers today has a lot to do with what is being taught. We preach the blood of Jesus, and absolutely should. The blood deals with our sin. But the cross deals with self. Jesus didn't just call us to receive forgiveness. He called us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23). The cross is where my way dies. My desires. My preferences. My old lifestyle. When that message is missing, we get mixture. Transformation in some areas while other areas remain completely untouched. You're speaking in tongues one minute and cursing somebody out the next. From the same mouth??? What's going on? 😂 Some people have been believers for 10, 15, even 20 years and are still stuck in the same cycles. Why? Certain areas were never truly surrendered—and entertainment is a BIG one. Let’s talk about it… Your Entertainment Might Be Feeding What You're Trying to Kill “I'm a Christian now. I don't hang around my old friends anymore.” Great. But you're still watching sexually explicit shows. Then afterward, you struggle with lust and masturbation. Sometimes we're praying against something while continuing to consume the very thing feeding it. We don't always recognize that our entertainment is the trigger keeping certain desires alive. Jesus said: “The eye is the lamp of the body.” — Matthew 6:22 You cannot constantly feed your eyes darkness and expect your inner life to remain untouched. You cannot continuously feed your flesh and then wonder why your spirit feels weak. It doesn't work like that. The Enemy's Underestimated Weapon: Entertainment I believe entertainment is one of the enemy's most underestimated weapons because it works on believers and unbelievers so WELL. And there is a biblical strategy that reminds me of how this works. Balaam. Revelation 2:14 says Balaam taught Balak how to put a stumbling block before Israel, leading them into idolatry and sexual immorality. That caught my attention. Because Balaam couldn't simply curse the people God had blessed. So another strategy was used: Get them to compromise and out of alignment. If you can't destroy someone from the outside, get them out of alignment from within. Balaam gave the counsel, but notice how the trap came: indirectly, through temptation. Balaam couldn’t curse Israel directly, so the strategy shifted. The Moabite women became the temptation, but Israel still had a choice. The men slept with the women. And this is important: Israel got themselves out of alignment with God through their own compromise. Balaam created the idea, but he didn’t make them sin . He just knew what could possibly bring them out of alignment… That strategy is still worth paying attention to. The enemy doesn't always need to come screaming: “GO SIN!” Sometimes he just needs to make sin “entertaining”. Put it in a song. Put it in a movie. Put it in a series. Put it in a music video. Make you laugh at it. Make you sing it. Make you binge-watch it. Make it normal. And eventually, something you once recognized as darkness doesn't bother you anymore. That's the danger. Entertainment Is Teaching You Something Entertainment isn't just entertaining you. It can shape your: Perspective. Values. Desires. Ideology. Emotional responses. Worldview. Some of us may never struggle with what we consider the “big sins.” But the enemy doesn't always need some dramatic sin to tempt us. Sometimes he just needs screen time. I know this personally. Growing up, I consumed massive amounts of VH1, MTV and—my Africans know this one 😂—Channel O. Music videos. Celebrity culture. Clubbing. Sexualized content. Wild living. Watch enough of that and it starts becoming normal. Then normal becomes desirable. Then desirable starts influencing behavior. This is the story of how I grew up too fast (story for another blog)...... The Truth. Seeds were being planted. That's why entertainment is so subtle. It sneaks in and slowly starts steering the heart. And once it starts steering your heart, something else can happen: You suddenly don't have time to pray. Don't have time to read your Bible. But somehow had three hours to finish the series. Hmm. Entertainment can become both a heart-steerer and a time-consumer. So What Should Christians Watch? I'm not saying every movie is demonic. 😂 I'm not saying all documentaries are bad. And please…watch your sports game LOL. Philippians 4:8 gives us an incredible filter: Whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise—think on these things. That's a filter. Because entertainment isn't neutral. What you repeatedly watch and listen to can influence your thoughts, desires, convictions and eventually your behavior. So be intentional. One question I personally think is helpful is: If Jesus were sitting right beside me, would I still watch this with Him? Would I still play this song? Because Christianity doesn't stop when nobody else is watching. You don't get to tell Jesus: “Stay here. I'll be back after this episode.” 😂 He is Lord there too. Run From What Feeds the Flesh Paul tells Timothy: “Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace.” — 2 Timothy 2:22 Notice the language: RUN. Not manage it. Not keep watching and pray you somehow become immune. Run. If something repeatedly stimulates lust, anger, pride, rebellion, sexual immorality, envy, or another area you're trying to put to death, why keep feeding yourself with it? And this is where entertainment transformation comes in. True transformation doesn’t stop at your friendship groups—it reaches your Netflix history and Spotify playlist too. And Apple Music… booooo 😂 lol. Because when Jesus becomes Lord, we don't get to keep certain rooms of our lives under our own lordship. So maybe the question isn't only: “Is watching this a sin?” Maybe we need to start asking: “What is this producing in me?” Is it feeding what God is killing? Is it normalizing what God calls sin? Is it steering my heart away from Him? Is it consuming my time? Is it helping me become more like Christ—or keeping the old me alive? Because not everything that entertains you strengthens you. Some things are keeping alive the very person the cross is trying to kill. Let the transformation reach your entertainment too. 🎶 Music time! Mr M & Revelation — “My Good News” 🔥🙌🏾

Hello fam! Today I want to go deep into something I’ve been studying. I’ve always believed biblical education shouldn’t only happen on Sundays. It should be a system of education, just like academics. And while studying the parables of Jesus, I noticed something beautiful. The parables show us the progression of a Kingdom man. They reveal how someone grows—from receiving the Word, to being formed by it, to becoming responsible for what God has given them, and finally, being ready to give an account. And when you see that progression, you realize something: A whole biblical curriculum can be developed from the parables of Jesus. I believe hidden within the progression of Jesus’ parables is a template for discipleship—a map for bringing believers into maturity and perfecting the saints. And when you begin looking at the parables this way, something becomes difficult to ignore: There are certain subjects Jesus doesn’t begin emphasizing until certain foundations have already been laid. Why? Because some truths require other truths to be understood first. Think about school. You don’t start with Microbiology and then take Biology 101. Biology 101 gives you the language, concepts and foundation you need before you can understand the advanced course. I believe Kingdom teaching works the same way. It’s sequential, almost like an education system—you move from Grade 1 to Grade 2, then from one level to the next. Each stage builds on what you learned before, preparing you for what comes next. You don’t skip the foundation and expect to understand the advanced lessons. In the Kingdom, there is progression. Yet sometimes we are trying to teach people advanced teachings (e.g. spiritual warfare, marriage, finances ) who haven’t properly understood foundational principles . We want to teach authority before obedience. We want to teach gifts before character. We want prosperity and marriage without establishing the importance of righteousness and holy living. We want advanced classes while skipping Kingdom 101. But we can’t skip classes. And when I began studying the progression of the parables, I saw what I believe is a systematic template we can use to disciple and teach people so they don’t merely accumulate revelation— they progressively mature. Not merely teaching people how to enter the Kingdom, but forming the kind of person who can live in it. There are a total of 40 parables, which I’ve divided into four stages to show the progression of Jesus teachings. THE FIRST 10 : KNOWLEDGE — BUILD THE FOUNDATION The first ten parables deal heavily with foundational principles a Kingdom person must understand. This is the knowledge stage. Before you can properly live this new life, you have to understand what you have entered. Jesus begins dealing with foundational matters such as: Faith. The heart. The old life versus the new. Uprooting old structures. Receiving new structures. Kingdom Lifestyle. Hearing the Word. Growth in the Kingdom. Look at the progression. The Wise and Foolish Builders confront your foundation. The New Cloth and New Wineskins confront whether you are trying to force the new life into old life. The Sower confronts the condition of your heart and your ability to receive the Word. The Growing Seed teaches that Kingdom growth happens progressively: first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn. The Mustard Seed teaches us not to despise small beginnings as we grow. Before Jesus begins placing heavier responsibilities upon the disciple, He establishes the fundamentals. Because if the foundation is wrong, everything built upon it will eventually crumble. This stage lays the foundation for understanding how the Kingdom works. It introduces the essential truths, principles, and practices every believer needs in order to take root, grow, and build a strong Kingdom foundation. Example Topics: Repentance • Salvation • The Heart • Baptism • How to Take Root & Grow • Apostolic Living (Prayer & the Word) • Obedience • Understanding the Dimensions of Holiness, Righteousness, Grace, Mercy & Faith • The Goal of The Kingdom (Eternity view 101) THE SECOND 10: TRANSFORMATION — NOW LET IT CHANGE YOU Now we go deeper. Understanding Kingdom principles is not enough. The Kingdom you understand must become the Kingdom you live. The second ten begin dealing more deeply with the attributes and expectations of a Kingdom person. This is the transformation stage or formation stage . Now Jesus begins touching areas such as: Surrender. Separation. Truth & Love. Character. Consecration. Sacrifice. Dying to self. Trust and boldness. Discernment. Responsibility Your private life now has to come under the government of what you’ve learned. The Hidden Treasure and Pearl confront surrender. When you truly recognize the value of the Kingdom, you become willing to release what competes with it. The Good Samaritan moves love beyond theory. Your faith now has to affect how you treat another human being. The Rich Fool confronts self-centered living and misplaced values. The Watchful Servants introduce discernment and alertness. The Faithful Steward introduces responsibility. Notice what is happening. Jesus is moving the disciple from: “Do you understand?” to: “Formation”. The truth revelation that never touches your lifestyle has not completed its work. Example Topics: Sacrifice • Consecration • Priesthood • Altars • Righteousness & Holy Living (A Set-Apart Life) • Intimacy with God • Consistency • Chastening & Discipline • Suffering in the Kingdom • Developing a Kingdom Mindset • The Fruit of the Spirit • Understanding Motives • Understanding the Roles of God: Father, Judge & King • Impartation. THE THIRD 10: MATURITY — LEARNING THE HEART AND GOVERNMENT OF GOD Then Jesus takes us deeper again. Some subjects from the earlier stages remain, but now they appear at another level. Stewardship and responsibility becomes heavier. And the disciple begins learning how God’s justice, mercy and judgment operate. And what truly matters to the heart of God. This is the maturity stage. Here we encounter themes such as: Stewardship. Justice & Mercy. Judgment (Eternity Mindset). Service. Redemption | Understanding what matters to Gods heart. Persistence & Endurance. The Barren Fig Tree places mercy and accountability beside each other. The Lost Sheep, Lost Coin and Prodigal Son reveal God’s heart toward what is lost. The Rich Man and Lazarus forces the disciple to think beyond this present life ( eternity mindset) . The Persistent Widow teaches endurance. The Unprofitable Servants confront our attitude toward stewardship. Something has shifted. The question is no longer simply: “How should I live?” Now we are learning: “How does a mature Kingdom person understand God, people, responsibility and eternity?” Because maturity changes how you treat people. Maturity changes how you handle what God gives you. Maturity changes how you respond when you’re wronged or feel neglected. And maturity changes what you consider important because you have begun looking at life through the lens of eternity. Example Topics: Kingdom Laws & Principles • Stewardship • Service • Submission • Abiding • Developing an Eternity Mindset • Kingdom Ambassadorship • The Justice System of God (Mercy & Judgment) • Giving • Kingdom vs. Culture & Tradition • Spiritual Warfare • Spiritual Gifts • Understanding the Systems of the Kingdom THE LAST 10: READINESS — THE KING IS COMING Then we reach the final ten. And the weight of the teaching increases. Jesus is still talking about stewardship. Still talking about faithfulness. Still talking about judgment. Still talking about discernment. But now He approaches these subjects from an even deeper angle. Now we encounter: The importance of Humility. Rewards. The sovereignty of God. Kingdom order. Faithfulness. Readiness. Judgement. The Pharisee and Tax Collector confront pride and highlights humility. The Unforgiving Servant confronts the power of mercy and justice. The Two Sons confront the difference between saying you will obey and actually obeying. The Wicked Tenants confront accountability. The Fig Tree teaches discernment on a deeper level. The Faithful and Evil Servant asks what kind of person you become when the Master appears delayed. Then we arrive at the Ten Virgins. Be ready. And finally, the Talents. What did you do with what the Master entrusted to you? At this point, Jesus isn’t merely teaching someone how to function in the Kingdom. He is preparing them to stand before the King. Example Topics: Eternal Rewards • Kingdom Readiness • Stewardship • Suffering & Persecution • Kingdom Citizenship. NOW LOOK AT THE PROGRESSION Knowledge → Transformation → Maturity → Readiness. The lessons become progressively weightier because the Kingdom man is progressively developing. In conclusion The truth is we can become fascinated with advanced spiritual subjects while people are still missing basic foundations. Someone wants to cast out demons but hasn’t learned to forgive. Someone wants marriage but hasn’t learned stewardship. Someone wants authority but refuses accountability and intimacy . We can’t skip classes. You cannot build the roof before laying the foundation. And perhaps Jesus’ parables are showing us that discipleship isn’t merely about how much-we teach. It is also about when we teach it.Jesus wasn’t merely producing people who could repeat Kingdom principles. He was building Kingdom men and women capable of carrying the weight of the Kingdom. First, understand it. Then, let it transform you. Then, mature in it. And finally— be ready to meet the King. Friendly disclaimer: You’ll always keep learning in this school, so don’t let my condensed notes fool you into thinking this is all there is to learn. I’ve simply highlighted some important topics to help give us a solid understanding. And don’t expect the learning to stop! The goal is to make sure we’re progressing in the right order, building a strong foundation along the way—not trying to jump from Grade 1 straight to Grade 6. :) 🎶 Music Time 🎶 “Where Jesus At” — The One Keon 🔥🙌🏾

Today’s blog is personal because this is something God had to deal with me about. I’m a perfectionist and a sucker for rules. I love following instructions and doing things the right way. But through studying the story of Job, I learned something about myself: if I’m not careful, that very part of me can become a doorway to pride and religion. Let me explain. One of the greatest lessons Job taught me is how to respond when I feel like I’m being punished, afflicted, or going through something I simply do not understand. My first response should be: “Lord, if I have done something wrong, please show me so I can repent. But if this is not about wrongdoing and You are testing me, give me the grace to pass the test faithfully.” Sounds simple, right? But Job’s story showed me how easily our response can become something else. When doing everything right becomes your defense Job was a righteous man. God Himself described him as blameless and upright (Job 1:8). He helped the poor, cared for the vulnerable, walked in purity, served justly, and maintained his integrity. Job 29–31 gives us a detailed account of how he lived. And when suffering came, Job could not understand why. He even asked God, “How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin” (Job 13:23, NKJV). But as you follow his words throughout the book, you begin to notice something. Job was not simply asking God to reveal his wrongdoing. He was also defending his righteousness. His posture had become something like: “Lord, I have done what You required of me. I have lived rightly and maintained my integrity. I don’t deserve this. If I’m wrong, then show me where—but I know, I haven’t done anything to deserve what is happening to me.” Now, this is pride—not necessarily in a cocky or arrogant way, but in a self-righteous way. He genuinely believed he had lived righteously, and because of that, he believed his righteousness should speak for him. Which is true and not true at the same time. Let’s go deeper . Here is where God began dealing with me. There is a difference between living righteously and using your righteous acts as your ONLY foundation of confidence before God. It is like someone saying, “Lord, I go to church. I fast. I pray. I serve. I don’t live like the world. So why am I going through this? I don’t get it!” Lol. Sound familiar? There is nothing wrong with asking God, “Why?” The danger begins when we present ONLY our righteous acts as the reason He owes us an answer. That’s where the posture shifts. You may be completely right about what you did. You prayed. You obeyed. You lived uprightly. Your evidence may be right, but your posture can still be wrong. We were not made righteous so we could boast about our record before God. Our righteousness is rooted in Jesus Christ, and our righteous acts should be the fruit of our relationship with Him—not bragging rights we pull out when life doesn’t go the way we think it should. That was part of Job’s struggle. His story shows us the subtle danger of self-righteousness: you can be right about your conduct and still be wrong in your posture before God. You cannot put God on trial Think about it this way. Imagine being brought before a judge, knowing you are completely innocent. You have every right to present your case. But you cannot walk into the courtroom shouting at the judge, demanding that he accept your understanding of the situation. You still approach the court with respect because the authority to judge does not belong to you. Now imagine doing that with God. The One who created the universe. The One who sees the beginning and the end. The One who knows what you cannot see. And here you are, trying to prove to Him that He has gotten something wrong. Sounds a little silly when you think about it, right? Lol. Yet, sometimes, that is exactly what our posture looks like when we approach God with our record of righteous acts instead of humility. Job knew what he had done, but God knew everything. Job 32:1 tells us that Job was “righteous in his own eyes,” and verse 2 says that he “justified himself rather than God.” In the story of Job, the issue was not his righteous acts, but the pride that emerged as he defended his righteousness before God. And when God finally answered Job, He did not reveal some secret wicked lifestyle that Job’s friends had identified. Instead, God confronted Job with His wisdom, power, and knowledge. In other words, Job, there are things happening that you simply do not know. And Job finally acknowledged: “I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.” — Job 42:3, NKJV When God revealed the limits of Job’s understanding, Job humbled himself and repented. The lesson God taught me I realized that my love for doing things correctly could become destructive if I allowed it to make me self-righteous. I could begin measuring my standing before God by how well I follow instructions, how much I pray, how often I fast, or how carefully I avoid sin. Don’t get me wrong, these are all good things. The issue is when something goes wrong, and my first response becomes asking questions in a self righteous manner: “But Lord, look at everything I have done right! I pray, I fast, I obey Your Word, so why is this happening to me?” Instead of: “Lord, You know me better than I know myself. If there is something I cannot see, reveal it to me. And if this is a test, give me the grace to remain faithful.” Job’s story reminds us that suffering is not always punishment for wrongdoing. Sometimes, God may be testing us, just as He allowed Job to be tested. There may be things happening behind the scenes that we cannot see or understand. But even when we know we have obeyed God, we must never allow our righteous acts to become a reason to approach Him with pride. AGAIN Our righteous acts should be the fruit of walking with God, not the foundation on which we approach Him. Christ is the foundation—not our righteous acts. That is the posture I want to maintain: “Lord, as far as I know, I have obeyed You. But I also know that You see what I cannot see, and You understand what I cannot understand. Have mercy on me, and reveal to me what I cannot see.” Not a heart that is desperate to prove itself right before God, but a heart that trusts Him enough to be corrected, tested, and led by Him. Because at the end of the day, the goal is not to prove how righteous we are. The goal is to become more like Christ. 🎶 Music Time 🎶 🔥💧 Fire Water — Isaiah Robin, Robin Martyr & Kory Yeshua

Burning to know how my friend’s story ends? 👀 Keep reading. Go back to Part 1 first to get the full picture, then come back here. Trust me… you’ll want the whole story. The Lord Showed Her Bloodline Then God shifted her prayers. He began revealing foundational issues within her bloodline. Some things had repeated for generations. Some patterns were hidden. Others were obvious. The Lord led her into seasons of prayer and fasting—not merely so she could have a God-ordained marriage or accumulate wealth , but so those patterns would end with her. She realized something: It isn’t enough to say, “I’ll never do what my parents did.” Words don’t break generational cycles. Prayer does. The battle isn’t merely physical. It’s spiritual. Human wisdom alone cannot solve spiritual problems. That’s why so many people keep repeating the same cycles, even when their intentions are good. Real transformation doesn’t come from willpower alone. If you truly want to see lasting change, you have to go all in with God. So she stayed in the place of prayer. Breaking patterns. Destroying strongholds. Declaring God’s Word over her family line. Believing that her children—and future generations—would inherit righteousness instead of negative patterns. Then the Lord Taught Her to Pray for Her Husband That part was intense. There were seasons when she prayed for her future husband more than she prayed for herself. I truly believe that because of the investment God called her to make in prayer, she can never make a mistake in marriage. She prayed prayers and made proclamations like these: My husband must arise. He is a man after God’s own heart. He is the head priest of our home. He is a fellow generational pattern breaker. He walks in the fear of the Lord, and a vessel of honor. He is a man of truth and a man of conviction. He stands for justice. He walks in wisdom and humility. He walks in power and authority, yet remains completely submitted to Christ. He is both a lover and a warrior. God has entrusted him with influence, provision, and wealth—not for personal glory, but because there are Kingdom assignments that require Kingdom resources. He carries a kingly anointing, but he is also a kingmaker. And above everything else… He obeys God wholeheartedly. Even if he doesn’t fully see all of this about himself today, Heaven already knows who he is. She prayed according to God’s identity over his life. Her husband, when they meet: “That’s my wife.” Her Lineage Is Royal Then the Lord expanded her vision. He showed her that He wasn’t only thinking about her and her future husband. He was thinking about generations. He reminded her of Abraham. The God of Abraham became the God of Isaac. Then the God of Jacob. The covenant kept flowing. That is why, throughout Scripture, God repeatedly identifies Himself as “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” His desire was never just to bless one generation. It was always to establish a lineage that knew Him. The blessings keep passing down! Her family is called to be a royal priesthood—a lineage of kings and priests set apart for God’s glory. Biblically, a priest is someone consecrated and devoted to God, bearing His presence and representing His heart. I’m not referring to the Catholic understanding of priesthood, where priests remain unmarried, but to the biblical calling that God extends to all His people. Peter echoes this truth when he writes: “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own special people…” — 1 Peter 2:9 Every believer has been invited into that calling. The Seeds Nobody Sees Like Hannah in the Bible, there were days she prayed with tears. Days she travailed. Days when nobody knew about the conversations happening between her and God. One day, people may look at her future family and say, “They’re so blessed.” “Look at the generational blessings.” What they won’t see are the seeds planted in secret. The fasting. The surrender. The tears. The warfare. The hidden prayers. Marriage Is Bigger Than Romance Dear brothers, let me lovingly say this. If a woman cannot seek God’s face concerning the blueprint of the family she is called to help build… RUN!!!!! RUN And sisters, the same applies to us. Yes, the husband is called to lead. But he also needs a wife who knows how to hear God’s voice. Likewise, a wife needs a husband who lives in the secret place. Two people surrendered to Christ are stronger than one carrying the entire spiritual weight alone. As Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” Marriage is not just about compatibility. It is about destiny. You can marry a genuinely kind person who still lacks the capacity to support God’s calling over your life. Not because they are bad. Simply because they were never assigned to walk that journey with you. Don’t rush something this important. You take time making business decisions. Career decisions. Financial decisions. How much more should you pray before choosing the person who will help shape generations after you? Don’t just desire a “good” marriage. Pray for a God-ordained marriage. A Conversation That Blessed Her Heart I’ll end with something that deeply encouraged my friend. Someone called her one day and said, “My mum was talking about you.” She smiled and asked, “What did she say?” The reply caught her completely off guard. “The man who marries her will be incredibly blessed. He’s marrying gold. That girl truly carries the Spirit of God.” She almost cried. Not because it praised her. But because it was said in her absence. The greatest compliment isn’t always what people say to your face. It’s what they say when you aren’t in the room. And one of the greatest compliments a woman can receive is not simply being known as a woman of God, but as a vessel who genuinely carries His presence. Titles can be given.. But the fragrance of God’s presence on a life cannot be faked—it speaks for itself. That conversation felt like God gently whispering to her, “I’ve heard your prayers.” So she keeps waiting. With love. With joy. With peace. …and yes, every now and then, with a few shaky moments too. 😂 But she knows this: The prayers are not wasted. The tears are not wasted. The waiting is not wasted. One day, her husband, her children, and generations after her will walk in blessings they never realized were watered by prayers prayed long before they arrived. If you are waiting too, like my friend, don’t grow weary. Stay in the secret place. Labor in prayer. Break the patterns. Build according to God’s blueprint. Because when Heaven writes your story, it will be worth the wait. “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” — Proverbs 31:28 May that be your testimony. Amen. 🤍 🎵 Music Time Sound of Salem – “Sparrow” This song always speaks to my heart. It reminds me to keep trusting God. If He cares for the sparrow, how much more does He care for us?

Sometimes God lets you revisit an old story—not to repeat it, but to redeem it. Hey family! Many of you have been asking for my playlist because apparently my song selections are FIRE 😂. I got you. DJ Whit — bringing heaven to the dance floor. Coming soon. Better yet, join us at one of our No Mimosas events and experience it yourself. Okay, I digress. 😂 There is a moment in the Bible that I have read before, but this time I saw something I couldn’t unsee. Jacob received a blessing from a father who could barely see. Years later, Jacob would become the father who could barely see—and would have to give a blessing himself. The circumstances were almost identical. But Jacob wasn’t. Let me give you the context. Before Jacob and Esau were even born, God had already spoken to their mother, Rebekah: “Two nations are in your womb… And the older shall serve the younger.” — Genesis 25:23 Before either boy had done anything, God had already revealed that the younger would have prominence over the older. Jacob did not have to steal God’s plan. And that’s what makes what happened next so tragic. What God had already ordained, Jacob and Rebekah tried to secure through human manipulation. Isaac loved Esau. Rebekah loved Jacob. When Isaac became old and his eyesight failed, he prepared to bless Esau. Rebekah overheard him and came up with a plan. Dress Jacob like Esau. Prepare the food Isaac loved. Cover Jacob’s smooth skin so he would feel like his hairy brother. Lie to a man who couldn’t see. And Jacob went along with it. He walked into his father’s room pretending to be someone he wasn’t and walked out carrying the blessing. That has always challenged me because you can be headed toward something God ordained and still choose the wrong way to get there. Side note: Sometimes we become so desperate to secure what God promised that we start trying to help Him. We manipulate. We force. We open doors He never told us to touch. But if God really said it, why do we have to sin to secure it? The blessing was always going toward Jacob. The problem wasn’t the promise. It was the process. HE HAD THE BLESSING, BUT HE STILL NEEDED TO KNOW GOD Jacob leaves home carrying the blessing—but running for his life because Esau wants to kill him. While running, Jacob has his own encounter with God. He sleeps on a stone beneath his head and dreams of a ladder reaching into heaven, with angels ascending and descending. When he wakes up, he says: “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” — Genesis 28:16 And I did not know it. His grandfather Abraham knew God. His father Isaac knew God. Jacob grew up surrounded by the covenant. But you cannot inherit intimacy with God. Eventually, the God of your parents has to become your God. Jacob had the blessing, but God still had to mature the man carrying it. He would spend 20 years with Laban—and ironically, the man who knew how to deceive experienced what it felt like to be deceived. Those years and afterwards did something to Jacob. He was humbled. He was stretched. He encountered God. He wrestled with God. His name changed. Even his walk changed lol The blessing came in a moment. The maturity to carry it took years. And then, decades later, Jacob finds himself in a situation that looks strangely familiar. THE STORY COMES FULL CIRCLE Jacob is now old. His eyesight is failing. Joseph brings his two sons to him: Manasseh—the firstborn. Ephraim—the younger. Jacob is preparing to bless them. Joseph positions Manasseh where Jacob’s right hand should naturally fall because he is the firstborn. But Jacob does something unexpected. He crosses his hands. His right hand goes onto Ephraim—the younger. His left goes onto Manasseh—the firstborn. Joseph sees it and immediately tries to correct him. No, Dad. You’ve got the wrong one. But Jacob refuses to move his hands. “I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he.” — Genesis 48:19 And that’s when it hit me. WAIT. Jacob is old. His eyesight is failing. There are two boys in front of him. One is the firstborn. One is the younger. And once again, the greater blessing is going to the younger. We’ve been here before. Genesis 27. Isaac was old. Isaac couldn’t see. Two sons . Blessings. The younger receiving what everyone expected to go to the older. Now Genesis 48. Same theme . Yet again, the younger receives the greater blessing. But this time there is no deception. Joseph even tries to physically move Jacob’s hand, and Jacob essentially tells him: I know exactly what I’m doing. “I know, my son, I know.”. THE REDEMPTIVE BLESSING The young Jacob received a blessing through deception. The old Jacob passed a blessing through discernment. Same kind of moment. Different man. Jacob could never go back and rewrite Genesis 27. He couldn’t undo what happened with Isaac. He couldn’t erase Esau’s pain. Actions have consequences. But God allowed Jacob to live long enough to stand on the other side of a strikingly similar moment— and this time, he got it right. That’s why I call it the redemptive blessing. Sometimes redemption isn’t God deleting the chapter where you failed. Sometimes redemption is God transforming you so completely that when a familiar test comes around again, the old version of you doesn’t show up. The old you thought, If I don’t make this happen, I’ll lose it. The new you knows: If God ordained it, I don’t have to compromise to obtain it. If Jacob and Rebekah had refused to manipulate the situation, what would God have done? Would God have stopped Isaac if he tried to bless Esau? No my son the blessing is for Jacob. We will never know. Because manipulation entered the story before we got to see how God would handle it. And maybe that’s another lesson buried in this story: Sometimes we interfere so quickly that we never get to discover how God intended to fulfill what He promised. Jacob learned that lesson the hard way. Decades later, when everyone expected the blessing to go one way, Jacob wasn’t afraid to let it go another. Because by then, Jacob had lived long enough with God to understand: God does not need deception to accomplish an unconventional plan. The order may not make sense. The choice may surprise people. The blessing may fall where nobody expected it. But let God do it His way. 🎶 Music time 🎶 Bryson Gray — “1 John 3” 🔥 This song might upset a few lukewarm Christians 😂 lol, don’t mind me.
