God's Judgement On King Manasseh
~1.4 mins read
Good day my dear PEJOWEBIANS!
Thank you for following these series on the abominations of king Manasseh and now, we're bringing it to a close with God's judgement on King Manasseh.

Let's the book of 2 Chronicles 33:9-11 and the judgement that the Lord gave king Manasseh

2Chr.33.9 - So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
2Chr.33.10 - And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they would not listen.
2Chr.33.11 - Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him off to Babylon."
(NKJV)

From the above scriptures, we can see that our God is a righteous judge. God warned King Manasseh but he wouldn't listen to God's warning according verse 10 of this scripture.

So many people, even believers are like king Manasseh, doing abominable acts that displeases God Almighty. 

God doesn't want any man to perish and this is why He sent his only begotten son in person of Jesus Christ to die for our sins. My dear readers! Give your life to Jesus Christ, let him be your Lord and personal saviour and you will inherit eternal life.

God's judgement
King Manasseh was bound with fetters and hooks, carried to Babylon by the captains of the host of the King of Assyria in to prison.

My dear readers, don't ever take God for granted. Fear him, serve him with whole of your heart and his judgement will not come upon you.

Thank you for reading this article, kindly like and drop your comments. God bless you!

Buddhism Ia It A Failed Or Prosporous Religon

Title: Examining the Allegation: Why Some Believe Buddhism is a Failed Religion

Buddhism, one of the world's oldest religions, has garnered millions of followers worldwide, renowned for its teachings on mindfulness, compassion, and the pursuit of enlightenment. However, amidst its widespread acclaim, there are those who assert that Buddhism is a failed religion. This assertion stems from various criticisms and observations, though it's important to approach such claims with nuance and critical analysis.

One of the primary criticisms leveled against Buddhism is its perceived inability to address or alleviate societal issues effectively. Critics argue that despite its emphasis on inner peace and personal enlightenment, Buddhism has not translated into significant societal transformation or progress. They point to examples of Buddhist-majority countries where social inequalities, corruption, and human rights abuses persist, seemingly unabated by Buddhist principles.

Moreover, some critics contend that Buddhism's focus on individual liberation may inadvertently promote apathy towards worldly affairs. The pursuit of personal enlightenment, they argue, may lead adherents to detach themselves from societal concerns, fostering a sense of indifference or passivity towards addressing systemic injustices.

Furthermore, the hierarchical structure present in many Buddhist institutions has been criticized for perpetuating power imbalances and instances of abuse. Reports of misconduct by Buddhist leaders, including cases of sexual abuse and financial exploitation, have raised questions about the integrity and efficacy of Buddhist institutions in upholding their ethical principles.

Additionally, Buddhism's adaptation to modernity has been a subject of debate. While some argue that Buddhism's adaptability has enabled its survival and relevance in contemporary times, others assert that attempts to modernize Buddhist teachings have diluted its core principles and authenticity. This tension between tradition and modernity has led some critics to question the coherence and relevance of contemporary Buddhist practices.

However, it is essential to recognize that criticisms of Buddhism as a failed religion are not universal, and many scholars and practitioners vehemently oppose such assertions. They argue that Buddhism's value lies not in its ability to produce societal transformation on a grand scale, but rather in its emphasis on individual spiritual development and inner transformation.

Furthermore, proponents of Buddhism highlight the positive contributions it has made to society, such as its promotion of mindfulness practices in healthcare, education, and psychology, as well as its role in fostering interfaith dialogue and peace-building efforts.

In conclusion, while criticisms of Buddhism as a failed religion raise valid concerns about its societal impact, it is essential to approach such assertions with nuance and critical analysis. Buddhism's value and relevance may vary depending on one's perspective and context, and its perceived shortcomings should not overshadow its potential for personal growth, compassion, and spiritual fulfillment.

Serving God on campus is not a waste

~1.0 mins read
LIFE ON CAMPUS

We all have a race we are running, we have aims to achieve but distractions took 85 percent of our  focus

We planned to achieve a certain goal on campus but we ended up not remembering our plans due to distractions of all kinds

Some of us promised to serve God on campus but today we are living a life that is outside our objective. That fire carrying lady is now after fame and boys forgetting what brought her to school 

That prayer band brother is now after ladies, he has forgotten his vision 

They are now doing all manner of this to get first class,money and fame. And they end up ruining their lives

My advice for you today is

1: Life outside christ is chriśis,you have to seek him delegently in other to achieve your aim in life

2: You not serving God on campus does not determine your failure but a time spent on campus without God is a time wasted

3: The best time to serve God is on campus

So my brothers and sisters do well to serve God delegently on campus and you will never regret it

Talking from experience!!!
