Many Christians hear the phrase 'putting God first,' but what does it truly mean? Instead of seeing it as bringing God from somewhere outside us, we should recognize that He already dwells within us through His Spirit (Luke 17:21). The real issue is our awareness, surrender, and acceptance of His constant presence in our lives.

The common focus on performance—prayer routines, fasting, church attendance—can lead to a superficial faith. Jesus warned against this in Matthew 15, where He criticized the Pharisees for honoring God with their lips but neglecting genuine heart connection. True faith is about abiding in God's presence, not just ticking religious boxes.

Furthermore, Jesus' teaching to seek God's kingdom (Matthew 6:33) was initially directed at an earthly political kingdom. Today, the kingdom of God is within believers (Luke 17:20–21). Our focus should be on aligning our hearts with His indwelling presence, not chasing external religious symbols.

Finally, 'putting God first' often implies human effort and discipline, which can lead to legalism. Scripture teaches us that God's grace is at work within us (Philippians 2:13), and Christ lives in us (Galatians 2:20). True devotion flows from surrendering to His life within, not just prioritizing Him in our schedules.

Why Telling Christians To Put God First Makes Zero Sense!

Our health is a gift from God, and how we care for our bodies reflects our respect for His creation. Eating foods that strengthen us and avoiding those that harm our health is essential for fulfilling our divine purpose.

In Leviticus 11:1-42, God gave instructions on clean and unclean foods. Modern science confirms that these guidelines promote good health. Eating nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables can boost our strength and vitality, enabling us to serve God better.

Additionally, growing your own food and being mindful of chemical preservatives can help prevent silent health issues. Overeating, especially heavy meals at night, can weaken your body and hinder your spiritual life. Remember, glorifying God includes taking care of your physical health.

Let’s prioritize healthy eating to stay fit and capable of fulfilling our destiny in Christ. Glorify God with your body by making wise food choices.

The ruling APC and opposition groups are embroiled in a fierce battle over the leadership and legitimacy of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Kenneth Okonkwo's recent appearance on Channels TV reveals a simplistic view of Nigeria's political landscape. His assertion that only a northern heavyweight like Atiku can defeat President Tinubu in 2027 is more fiction than analysis. This overlooks the complex realities of regional voting patterns and the historical rejection of recycled candidates.

In Nigeria, there is no monolithic northern voting bloc. Buhari’s 12 million votes were earned through grassroots efforts, not regional myths. Buhari’s losses in 2003 and 2011 to southern presidents show that northern support alone isn't enough for victory. If Buhari, who had northern backing, couldn't unseat southern incumbents, it questions the likelihood of Atiku’s success.

Kenneth Okonkwo, once Peter Obi’s spokesman, now seems to shift loyalties without clear principle, perhaps seeking relevance. His stereotypes and simplified analysis ignore Nigeria’s political complexity. The nation deserves more nuanced and thoughtful discourse rather than tribalist narratives.

The United States has announced a new visa policy affecting Nigerian applicants. Starting July 8, 2025, most non-immigrant, non-diplomatic visas, including tourist and business visas, will be issued as three-month, single-entry visas. This change aligns with U.S. reciprocity standards, meaning visas issued before this date remain valid, but new applicants will face restrictions on multiple entries and longer durations.

While the U.S. embassy has not officially linked this policy shift to diplomatic issues, there is speculation that Nigeria's recent BRICS engagements and strategic alliances may play a role. Analysts suggest this could be a diplomatic move in response to Nigeria’s growing international partnerships.

Travelers planning trips to the U.S should prepare for these new restrictions, especially for frequent visits or long-term stays. This policy change impacts Nigerians seeking visas for tourism, business, or family visits, emphasizing the need for careful planning and awareness of the new rules.

Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, addressed public concerns over lawmakers' use of budget insertions to fund projects outside their constitutional roles. Speaking at the House of Representatives' open week in Abuja, he emphasized the disconnect between public expectations and the legislative functions.

He explained that Nigerians expect their legislators to deliver roads, schools, water, and electricity, even though these are primarily executive and local government responsibilities. Gbajabiamila pointed out that the breakdown of local government autonomy has left lawmakers filling a void, leading to misuse of budget insertions.

While critics see this as abuse, Gbajabiamila argued that legislators resort to budget insertions to meet constituents' needs in the absence of a functional local government system.
