Dear Mr Lover Boy,
I need you to be calming down in this path of love you claim to be on! #Thread
Before you even start walking on this path I want you to read and meditate on 1 Corinthians 13 because this is the weapon for a successful love story.
You cannot even claim you love someone when you don't have a relationship with God. How then do you know what true love is? God is love and for a man to truly love, he/she must first know and love God.
If you say you love someone why restrict them from serving God? You met me as a church girl and now you are trying to change me into a club girl! Is this your love from God?🙄
I am doubting, instead of encouraging me in my service for God, you are complaining that I like church too much! Please leave my life because without God I can do nothing!
Why are you trying to change someone you claim you love into a bad girl? This is so confusing sef, you met a good girl with morals and decency and you are trying to change her morals and decency into careless living in the name of making her wise!
Don't you know wisdom comes from God? You complain about her outfits requesting to buy her better clothes to make her look sexy and hot, you are trying to change her into a slay queen! Is this truly love?
What happened to adding value to her and making her a better woman, what happened to encouraging her to find purpose and work on her dreams.
If you say you love me, you will not want to lead me into immorality instead you will stand in purity with me, you will walk in the ways of the Lord with me, helping me remain steadfast instead of pulling me down! If your love is making me compromise God's word is it truly love?
How can you prefer to talk me about irrelevant things through out the night instead of praying with me instead. If you cannot call me to pray with me at least let me pray! Let me pray instead of chatting with you! Let me attend fellowship instead of hanging out with you!
If you love me, you will know my relationship with God is more important than my relationship with you, you will stop dragging the place of God, you will not try to take the place of God but you will strive to make me a better Christian and a better woman!
If you love me as you say Mr Lover, you will not condemn my faith, you will not mock me with names like Sister Mary, you will not insult me for deciding to be decent, you will not call me local instead you will support me in this Christian journey. Yes you will if you love me!!!
If you love me, you will not ask me to bleach my melanin skin, you will not complain so much about my body size, you will not try to force me into accepting your image about me, this is who I am, if you love me, you will also love my body size and complexion.
I cannot be deceived by your proposal of marriage, I cannot be deceived by the gifts and love you shower on me! If I don't see Christ in you, in your actions, in your character I cannot be involved with you.
Requesting for sex is not normal, if that is how they do it where you are coming from, this is not what the bible taught me!
From my heart today, I am letting you know I cannot let go of my identity to be called your Mrs, I cannot negotiate with sin to show how much I love you, I cannot compromise to gain your attention, I cannot drop my morals to be called your girlfriend.
I hope you get this, I am not in a hurry to be with a man, I am ready to wait for the will of God because I know He has prepared the best for me, I am not desperate, I am not dependent, I will handle my bills bruh! If you cannot walk in God's word, please let me be!!!!!
Mr Lover Boy,
If you cannot support me in this journey, come and take transport out of my life, I can even pay for your flight to leave! Pack and Go!!!
Yours Church Girl,
Essie❤
Can you drop a line for Mr Lover Boy, tell him what you want in a relationship and remind him of your identity! Let's do this fam🔥
Brothers, you can tell us what you can offer, how do we know your love is genuine. Don't be left behind😃
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.
