GROW UP!

A LETTER TO EVERY TO THE BABIES IN THE BODY. Dear babies,  The ones going to church and expecting that people change because of them or shouldn't have the liberty to express themselves because you are there. This is for you. My advice and message to you is, please GROW UP! Some of you have spent 1-3 years in the local assembly you are in. Yet, you expect that you should be checked up on because you missed church services and some activities.  This, of course, is not talking about faithful workers in the vineyard of the Lord - people who serve and honor the Lord with their time and resources. Always showing up to help and put things in order. The Lord will reward your labor of love in Jesus name, Amen. But to my brothers and sisters that feel entitled to the respect of everyone. In case your pastor or workers are scared of breaking your pride or losing you, I'll do it for them. YOU ARE A SPOILT BRAT!  You come into church and everything is set. You are not aski...

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 t...

COMMITMENT

Commitment can be defined as a state of been pledged or engaged to something very important. Taking family as a case study - when a father isn't committed to his wife or parent to children or vice versa. They tend to do things for the benefit for one singular purpose - THEMSELVES. You can imagine what kind of family that will look like.    Commitment is an act of loyalty - being devoted to or faithful to someone, cause, or nation. As Christians, we know our loyalty is toward the head of the church - Christ Jesus. He loved us so much that he gave Himself up for our sins (john 3:16). He wants is to reciprocate this by being faithful to Him.    Let's think about it. Who on earth can Love to the extent of sacrificing his/her life because of someone who doesn't even care if he/she did or not? But Christ Jesus did, even when we were yet sinners he died for us ( Romans 5:8).    As wonderful as the testimony of our savior, we only love and worship Him with o...

Adulterousness

   When two people are joined together before an altar, they become life partners automatically. They are pronounced as husband and wife. In a case where one of them becomes unfaithful to their marital vow by having sexual intercourse with someone other than his/her spouse is called ADULTERY.    Unfortunately, the body of Christ has some set of people who commit this act. You might want to ask how the church of God is committing this grievous sin. I will be please to tell you that the church is guilty of this - BIG TIME!    We profess Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We say that we are Joint-heirs with Christ Jesus in God. We even say Christ in us, the hope of Glory. All these quotes are true indeed but our act makes it of no effect.    Imagine a wife always boosting of her husband, but always gain pleasure in someone else - isn't that adultery? This is what we that claim to be Christians do, by proclaiming Jesus as our everything but s...

Wife

   Who is a wife? Can we really tell the difference between a spinster and a wife in this generation? I have wondered why the name was given in the first place because it's been subverted.    A young lady that has seen herself as someone who already knows what it takes to be a wife would definitely know that being joined to a man in HOLY matrimony is a task that differentiates her from being just a lady to a wife. I believe the name "wife" was given to indicate that there is a man in her life which is not just a short term relationship but a life long one. For a woman to stay in a life long relationship with a man, I discover that she must wrap herself up in some virtue that can make the relationship last. A home remains unbroken "IF" the woman of the house won't give up. It isn't a surprise if a spinster doesn't have this virtue, but for a wife it would reduce her values drastically.    A spinster who doesn't add these virtues to her valu...
