Dear Romantic Brothers, Let's Settle This Now!!! #Thread
Why do you keep asking me if I am cold after every rainfall? Why are you even asking if I covered well or if you can help, help ni🙄 For the records this is how well I cover during cold and rainy seasons🖕🏽
Why are you calling me late in the night? Why are you asking me to send the picture of what I am wearing at the moment Ah warris that😶
Why are you even calling me romantic names? plis call be sissi or my name we are not in love!
Now, let's get down to this!
Why are you calling Sister Debby every night to check up on her, waking her up with one romantic text message saying good morning beautiful angel of the Lord, buying her lunch when you are in a relationship with Sister Joy?
You are close to Sister Nkechi in ushering department, you even offer to drop her and pick her from work everyday, its good but why do you have to visit her when you know its almost 10 pm?
Meanwhile Sister Bola in choir receives so much attention from you, you call her romantic names like sweetheart, honey, my dear, please be calming down o!
Sister Debby thinks you are in love with her, Sister Nkechi is already praying to know if you are God's will as she engages in cooler ministry while my dear Sister Bola already told her parents about you but you are engage to Sister Joy. How do we settle this now!
Tomorrow, when you finally present your wedding card, Sister Nkechi will be crying you dump her and all the while you had clear intentions, you were just show brotherly love and care. Who will believe you now?
Everyone knew how you always visited her, escorted her home, bought her lunch and took her on dates. We know you are a caring brother but how do we know you are not in love with her after all you never said so!
This is what I have to say!!!
Stop being close to ladies without defining the purpose of your relationship with them, if it is brotherly love let them know. Stop saying I didn't know she will take it serious! Spiritual Sisters also have emotions!
When you were calling her at midnight, buying her lunch and taking her on dates nko, you did not think she also had feelings and emotions abi her heart is made of stone and iron!
Don't be close to Sister A today then tomorrow you switch to Sister B, you can show love to everyone but when you begin to give so much attention to one person without defining it might cause a lot of gbas gbos!
Sisters, stop concluding over every brother that seems nice to you, he might have no intention to marry or even date you so before you start cooler ministry discernment is very important!
Accept brotherly love but be careful to ask when it starts changing gear, when the calls becomes more, when you are receiving gifts every now and then and you are eating chicken at Chicken republic! Ask the brother how fa!
Please let's define every relationship we have with a brother/sister to avoid I thought he will marry me o🤣
Note: It is not advisable to visit a brother/sister alone but if it is important please be careful and Fleeee when you should, stop waiting to see what would happen, when he/she starts shifting posting please take your leave🏃🏻
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.
