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!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
