Who told you there is no gain in saving the pleasure of kissing, romance, smooching until after marriage? Who lied to you that you are only starving your lustful desires when you don't agree to have sex before marriage? #Thread
They called you gay or Jew, is this enough reason to give up your waiting season for a pleasure of less than 2 hours?
Who told you without sex you cannot keep a man? Every man you met is leaving because you said no to SEX, why are you giving up already, who told you there is no man who can wait with you until after marriage?
I know you are in your middle twenties and any guy who claims to love you wants to see your nakedness, you are about to give in because you want to get married soon, if they truly love you then they will WAIT.
He wants to marry you but he wants to have you in bed first, you are about to say yes because all your mates are married and you are under pressure from your family, SEX is not enough to keep a man, say NO! There is beauty in WAITING!
Who told you every man who approaches you wants sex from you? We still have good men sis, we still have men who wants to please God. Don't join those people saying All men are the same and miss your husband o😅 Add value to yourself and you will attract good men!
Who told you it is impossible to keep a pure relationship? Who told you it is impossible to keep your mind free from lust? They said what they said but this is what I have to say,
you can keep a pure relationship even in our generation, you can keep your mind free from lust, YES YOU CAN! Tell them I said so!
You want to disagree? Are you saying Jesus died for nothing? Are you saying His BLOOD was a waste on the CROSS? I hope not!
He died for your sins, to save you from sin, lust and the flesh! He sent the HOLYSPIRIT to guide you and help you remain strong! He has given you free access to Him through PRAYERS and the body of CHRIST to edify you!
Who told you there is no gain in waiting? There is BEAUTY in waiting, your DIGNITY is preserved when you wait, you cannot partake in HIS glory when you don't partake in the sufferings, you must wait if you want to be glorified with Christ!
Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 You will be strengthened when you wait, be patient enough to receive God's reward🔥
You may have defiled the bed or lost your virginity and pride but the Lord is here to crown you again if you can WAIT, that you defiled the bed before now is not enough reason to continue, retrace your steps and you will be made PURE again❤
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.
