ESCAPE FROM FRIENDS WHO DISDAIN YOUR PURITY
BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA
They call you "archaic", "old school", "old-fashioned". That's pretty good because you are a rare breed. You are a scarce commodity. In short, you are priceless. You are far above rubies and you are not by any means cheap.
Each time you keep company with them, they make you feel miserable and their expression even show you are unacceptable. This is because you have refused to join them in their foolish act. Why do you want to continue to journey with them?
They are blind men who need a guide to lead them into the light. They are workers of iniquity who need the glorious light of the gospel to shine on their hearts. Don't mind them for they are ignorant of what they are doing. Don't blame then because they are far from the truth.
If the state of your heart is not right, there is no how you can have pure meditation. A man who is impure cannot see God. He is beclouded with vain things. His purity has been tampered with. There is need for you to guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issue of life.
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks so the bible says. Your input determines your output. What are you feeding your soul with oh thou son of man? Stop feeding it with impurity for only those who are pure in heart can see God.
Your body is the temple of the Lord. Let no man or woman defile you. Your relationship with everyone must be defined at first and excesses should be guarded against provided we don't want to be far from God.
Don't let anyone send wrong signals to your brain. You are priceless. Inordinate affections should be guided against.
Let them keep making jest of you. You do not belong to their fold. If you must see God, them stay chaste. Embrace purity.
If we must experience speed in our spiritual journey this year, purity should be embraced. We can't continue to live recklessly and still want to remain in the agenda of God. God will just sidetrack us and make use of others who are ready.
May mercy locate all who have trade their purity on the altar of carelessness this day. You are free from every entanglement.
