Virginity with Dignity

What does dignity and virginity mean? How do they relate?  Dignity can be defined as the state worthy of esteem and respect, while virginity simply means a state of been pure to sexual intercourse. The combination of the two words in a sentence means the quality of being a virgin.

   Let's move further by knowing the meaning of a virgin. A virgin is someone who hasn't involved in sexual intercourse. Someone might want to ask what does virginity have to do with Christianity? It has a lot to do with it.

   A virgin also means someone who isn't married yet. In the kingdom of God we believe that a person who isn't married to anyone before should still be a Virgin. As Christian who had renounced the world must be virgins to Christ Jesus.

   Virginity signifies purity, sacredness, and holiness. According to Matthew 25:1-12, we are virgins in the eyes of Lord Jesus Christ - He's our husbandman. He made us holy and separated from the filthiness of the world because He has a wonderful wedding arrangement for us at His Father's kingdom.

   According to the above passage, we can discover that there are ten virgins, but some were fools while some are wise. The wise virgins made it to the feast while foolish ones were shut out of their Joy. I pray that we won't miss our rewards in Jesus name. But for us not to be shut out, we need to have the dignity of virginity which is WISDOM. Wisdom is the principal thing (proverbs 4:7). Graciously, God has made Christ unto us WISDOM and righteousness of God (1st Corinthians 1:30). Will you choose His wisdom?

Shalom!!!

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
