GOF International Schools, Nigeria & Cote D'Ivorie.
GOF is an acronym for Gbenga Olowe and Funke, the team founders of GOF International Schools, located in Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire. The school began in Ejigbo (Osun State) at the Nursery and Primary level in 1986, before the addition of the secondary arm in 1995. This was later followed by the establishment of the Abidjan (Cote d'Ivoire) branch in 1999- a move necessitated because of the close tie

“How Faith Gets Deleted Without You Noticing”
This isn’t about hating phones, vibes, or fun. It’s about how distraction, pressure, and clout can slowly pull you away from God (your maker)— without you even clocking it.
This is about how Satan (the enemy) lures you away from God.
Please read through.
1. He wouldn’t tell you God isn’t real
That’s too obvious.
He’d just keep you busy, distracted, and tired.
Notifications nonstop.
TikTok till 2am.
Always online, never present.
So God isn’t rejected — He’s just never on your mind.
2. He’d make scrolling your safe space
Bored? Scroll.
Sad? Scroll.
Stressed? Scroll.
Instead of praying or talking to God, you escape into your screen. Temporary peace as alternative to real healing.
3. He’d make prayer feel “cringe”
He’d whisper:
“People will think you’re weird”
“That’s not your vibe”
“You can pray later”
So you believe in God… but keep Him private and hidden.
4. He’d drown out God’s voice with everyone else’s
Influencers tell you how to dress.
Friends tell you how to act.
Social media tells you what matters.
So God’s voice sounds quiet — not because He stopped speaking, but because everyone else is louder.
5. He’d use peer pressure hard
He’d say:
“Don’t be the odd one out”
“Everybody’s doing it”
“Relax, it’s not that deep”
So you compromise — not because you want to sin, but because you want to belong.
6. He’d make sin look normal and faith look extreme
Sleeping around? Normal.
Cheating a bit? Normal.
Clout-chasing? Normal.
But holiness? That’s “too much.” That’s “too-hard.” That’s “religious.”
7. He’d make Jesus seem uncool (unattractive)
He wouldn’t attack Jesus. He’d just make Him seem:
- Old-school
- Boring
- Not trending
So you respect Jesus — but don’t actually follow Him.
8. He’d trap you in comparison mode (making you feel inferior)
Everyone online looks richer, Happier, More successful.
So you start chasing: Money, Brands, Status,
Soft life at all costs
And forget that your worth isn’t your net worth.
9. He’d push materialism quietly
New phone: New drip: New goals: Nothing wrong with having things — until things start having you.
When money becomes the goal, God becomes optional.
10. He’d mess with your sense of belonging
He’d make you feel:
You only matter if you’re liked,
You’re only valued if you fit in,
You’re replaceable if you don’t perform.
So you shape your identity around people's approval — not around God.
11. He’d keep you exhausted
Late nights scrolling, No silence, No rest,
A tired soul doesn’t pray. A distracted heart doesn’t listen.
12. He’d tell you “you’ve got time”
“You’re still young.”
“Enjoy life first.”
“Get serious later.”
But later slowly turns into never.
Real Talk
Your phone isn’t evil. Money isn’t evil. Friends aren’t evil. They are just tools which the enemy uses to lure you away from Jesus.
But whatever controls your attention controls your direction.
Jesus said:
“What does it profit a person to gain the whole world, but lose their soul?”
How to Push Back (Practical, Not Extra)
God first, phone second (even 2 minutes counts)
Take short screen breaks — silence isn’t scary
Choose friends who respect your faith, not mock it
Remember: fitting in isn’t the same as belonging
You don’t need clout to have value
Final Line
If the enemy can’t make you hate God, he’ll make you too distracted, pressured, and comfortable to choose Him.
Stay woke — not just online, but spiritually.
1 Peter 5:8 ERV
[8] Control yourselves and be careful! The devil is your enemy, and he goes around like a roaring lion looking for someone to attack and eat.
1 Peter 5:8 TPT
[8] Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour
“And the angel announced:
‘Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.’”
— Luke 2:11
Today reminds us of a profound and eternal truth: a Saviour was born into the world over 2,000 years ago. While people may debate the exact date of His birth, what truly matters is that Jesus was born—and why He was born. He came out of love, to redeem humanity, to bring salvation, hope, and new life to all who believe.
Jesus Christ was not only born; He lived, He died for our sins, and He rose again so that we might have forgiveness, freedom, and eternal life. This season is a gentle but powerful invitation for each of us to embrace Him—not just as a historical figure, but as our personal Saviour and Lord.
My prayer is that we all encounter the true joy of salvation and the deliverance that flows from a living relationship with Jesus Christ. May the true Light of salvation shine upon us and within us, transforming our lives so that we radiate His love, joy, and hope to the world.
Compliments of the season, and may the gift of Christ fill your heart today and always.
