🚗 THE MAN WITH A CAR VS THE MAN WITH A HOUSE 🏠

Brian and Felix were good friends back in college.
After graduation, life took them on different paths.

5 years later…
Brian finally bought himself a nice car — through a loan.
He drives to work every day, dresses sharp, smells good, and often posts motivational quotes with his car:

“Work hard. Stay focused. Success looks good on me.”

But what most people don’t know…
Behind the scenes, Brian is struggling.
Every month, his salary disappears fast:
✔️ Car loan repayment
✔️ Fuel
✔️ Rent
✔️ Food
✔️ Data bundles
✔️ Small debts here and there

At the end of each month, there’s almost nothing left to save.
He looks like he’s winning… but only from the outside.

Felix?
He chose a different route.
No pressure to buy a car.
Instead, he focused on slowly growing his small business.

Today, Felix doesn’t have a car… but he has something bigger:
âś… A house fully paid for
âś… No rent
âś… No landlord knocking
âś… No loan stress

He built this through patience, discipline, and business.
He still uses buses or walks sometimes, but every evening he returns to his own house — not a rented flat.
He's quietly saving for a car now… but with no pressure at all.

One afternoon, they met.
Brian pulled up in his car, music playing, windows down.
Felix arrived walking, carrying groceries.

People admired Brian’s car.
Nobody noticed Felix.

Little did they know…
Felix goes home to his own house, built from hard work.
Brian goes home to a rented flat, still owing money on his car.

That night…
Brian sat in his apartment, stressed over next month’s loan repayment.
Felix relaxed on his veranda, drinking tea in peace.

LESSON:

Not having a car doesn’t mean you are failing.
Not having a house doesn’t mean you are winning.
Everyone’s blessing comes at different times.

Drive yours when it’s your time.
Walk yours in peace until then.

Hustle wisely. Life is not a competition.

BREAKING: The United States is currently considering the Republic of South Sudan as a potential host for the second batch of approximately 300,000

Venezuelan deportees. This group was initially proposed to be received by the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which has since declined the offer.
The Government of Venezuela has also formally rejected the return of these individuals.
As part of ongoing diplomatic discussions, the acceptance of this group by South Sudan may be a determining factor in the future of bilateral relations between the United States and South Sudan. Specifically, South Sudan's cooperation in this matter could influence the continuation or enhancement of U.S. aid to the country, as well as the lifting of future visa restrictions.

STATISTICS INDICATE ZAMBIA SDA CHURCH MEMBERSHIP MAY TOP THE WORLD BY 2035.

Zambia Rises to Second Globally in Adventist Membership

Zambia has cemented its place as a global powerhouse in Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) growth, now ranking second worldwide in membership. According to the 2024 Annual Statistical Report from the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Zambia boasts 1,465,379 baptized members, trailing only Brazil (1,807,503 members). This impressive growth means Zambia has surpassed more populous nations like the United States, India, and the Philippines in Adventist membership.

This significant expansion suggests that the church's outreach methods are highly effective, and that Adventist teachings resonate deeply with Zambian culture and beliefs.

Adventist Membership in Zambia: A National Perspective
On a national level, the Seventh-day Adventist Church stands as the second-largest Christian denomination in Zambia. The 2022 Census National Analytical Report by the Zambia Statistics Agency indicates that approximately 3,485,736 people, or 17.7% of Zambia's 19,693,423 population, identify as Seventh-day Adventist. The Catholic Church holds a slight lead at 17.9%, with Pentecostal churches close behind at 17.5%. Other denominations, such as Lutheran, Episcopal, and Restoration churches, each account for a mere 0.1%.

Top 10 Countries by SDA Membership (2024)
The following demographic data, sourced from the 2024 Annual Statistical Report by the General Conference of SDA, highlights the top 10 countries by Seventh-day Adventist membership:
* Brazil – 1,807,503
* Zambia – 1,465,379
* Kenya – 1,234,320
* Philippines – 1,217,070
* India – 1,160,882
* United States – 1,171,952
* Rwanda – 1,128,965
* Tanzania – 1,051,381
* Micronesia (Federated States of) – 836,571
* Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – 799,625

Key Drivers of SDA Growth in Zambia
Several factors have fueled the remarkable growth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Zambia:

* Strong Community Engagement: The church's health, education, and humanitarian ministries have fostered deep trust within communities.

* Robust Evangelistic Programs: Nationwide campaigns and extensive use of mainstream media, including the national broadcaster, private television and radio stations, and Hope Channel Zambia, have significantly contributed to its spread.

* Youth Empowerment: A dedicated focus on youth through Adventist schools and Pathfinder clubs has been crucial in attracting and retaining younger members.

* Cultural Alignment: The church’s emphasis on a healthy lifestyle, family values, and spiritual discipline closely aligns with Zambia’s cultural and moral landscape, further enhancing its appeal.
