Just Because Every One Is Doing It, Doesn't Make It Right!
As a teenager I wished to be in a relationship because every teenager I knew was in one relationship or the other. You will see teenagers of 13-17 boasting of their boyfriends and girlfriends, my babe fine pass it may even result to a fight when you disagree.
To make it intresting they will share stories of how they kissed and romanced, meanwhile some of us will just be looking like what are they even saying🙄🙄 Love. Romance. Relationship ke😶😶
A lot of ladies are getting married because everyone they know is married even when they know they are not ready for marriage.
Some others are jumping into every relationship not considering God's will just because all their friends are into relationships.
The everyone is doing it fallacy is one that make people believe if a good number of persons are involved in a thing then it is the right thing to do, but the question is even if everyone is doing it is it right?
Everyone is having sex before marriage, what does the bible say about it?
Everyone is dressing sexy, does it make it right?
Everyone is attending clubs, does it make it right?
Everyone is joining the choir, but God wants you to be in the Evangelism unit!
Let us be more concerned about what is right than what everyone is doing, because the crowd is doing it doesn't make it right so don't do anything because everyone you know is doing it
My pastor's daughter is doing it, what is bad? Something is bad if it is not right!
Mummy GO is doing it, what happened to it? Something happened to it o !
Let us be concerned about what is right before God and not what is right in the sight of men
God deals with people in different ways so be sure you are not doing it because everyone is doing it!
This morning, I woke up to God’s word reminding me of the importance of process, waiting, building and staying to learn what He is teaching me as my teacher.
We may come that point where we almost feel like the Lord is not there because what we have asked for is not forthcoming, you may even feel discouraged but it is settled that the Lord never forsakes His own, not even in the fire!
So what about you? Do you eventually see God as wicked or unjust because He is not answering all your prayers? Are you that Christian who quickly becomes faithless when you are not seeing results?
Job said “Even if you slay me”
Esther said “If I perish I perish”
The three Hebrews boys didn’t mind if God saves them or not and Daniel wasn’t scared of dying in the lion’s den.
How comes we are only for God when it’s favorable? What happens to the process of waiting and learning? Just like David and Joseph, God may take you through a process before the palace.
Just like Abraham, you may have to wait for years to enter into God’s promises for you. We must learn to love God beyond what He can do for us, follow Him because He is God not just for earthly desires!
If you are serving God because you want to get something from Him, one day you will wake up angry because you may not get all you desire but when you just love and trust Him, you may not get all you desire but you will get all that's best for you.
We serve God because its our life, we owe everything to Him. So just like the three Hebrew boys, Esther, Daniel, Apostle Paul etc.
It is not about how much God can give to them but how committed and sold out they are to God.
God wants us to come to that place where our confession becomes "If I perish I perish! I cannot choose my life or my desires above you Lord. I love you with everything".
This is the kind of growth God is calling us into🔥
Dear Christian,
The flesh is self exalting, it is self demanding! When the spirit says PRAY, the flesh will say you need to rest. When the spirit says BE CALM, the flesh will give you a hundred reasons not to! If you want to serve God, you must die to FLESH🙇
The flesh always wants to show how much it has achieved for God with small pride.
It wants to be able to show emotions, do whatever it wants without self control.
It doesn't even want corrections from God or the scriptures.
The flesh doesn't want to stay without food so if you want to satisfy it's desires, you cannot fast. You can stay for a whole busy day without eating but come and fast na, you will start shaking😂
I was having a conversation with one Unku who was showing some Interest me and I noticed how he was trying to mention God into everything he was saying, yes he wanted me to see how he knows God but I was not fast to conclude o!
I gave it time, I listened to all he had to say and I could see that he was trying to use the fact I was a child of God to make me feel comfortable but it wasn't so long before I could hear him condemn the standard of purity we are keep as believers!
Oh really, the same brother who sounded so God-loving could say there's no need to waiting until marriage if your family already knows about the relationship! God help us.
I was at a wedding yesterday, but I wasn't fast to say the God When anthem, not because it wasn't a beautiful wedding or because I don't anticipate marriage but because I know there is so much requirements for a GOD KIND OF MARRIAGE.
We all want to be loved by somebody's son or daughter, we want a beautiful house, we want to be loved and receive beautiful gifts from our partners. I want that too but wait fes, is that all?
What God has planned for us is way more than gifts, houses, flowers or even vacations. What God has planned is a home that will glorify Him.
