THE GOAL IS NOT TO LOOK LIKE IT




THE GOAL IS NOT TO LOOK LIKE IT

Young man, aside the fact that people see you wearing oversized shirts and trousers, what other evidence can you give to us that you have met with Christ? 


The goal is to be a Christian and not to look like one. 

Christians are not known by the big trousers and oversized shirts they wear. 

If christians are known by that, I am afraid. 

Few days ago, I asked a lady if she was born again and the only evidence she gave was that she no longer dress the way she used to dress. She pointed my attention to the fact that she no longer uses jewelry and all other accessories.

It's not surprising because sometime ago, I saw something similar online. A woman posted two of her photos. She wore trousers and heavy makeup in one of the picture, she wore a long skirt in the second picture and according to her, that's an evidence she's now born again. 

While we were growing up, we were made to understand that every lady who uses jewelry and even wear trousers is a sinner even if that person is claiming to be a Christian. 

It wasn't surprising that some of  those ladies who wore skirts that were sweeping the floor was something else in their closet. They come out pretending to be who they are not. So far they are wearing the long skirts, everyone classify them as a Christian. 

Once again, the goal is to be a Christan and not to look like one.

Young woman, can we differentiate between you and unbelievers aside the long dresses you wear all the time? 

Remember, the goal is to be a Christian and not to look like one. 

Enough of being religious.
Enough of having the form but not the power.
Enough of carrying big bibles yet you can't remember the last time you studied. 
Enough of talking about prayers while you are yet to pray. 
Enough is enough 

Get up today and shake off religion. 
Embrace the truth. 
Embrace Jesus.

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL  THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray.  CAUTION: Don't pray amiss.  The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program  and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right?  God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning.  When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

THE PROPHET TYPE OF MAN (CHAPTER 3)

Give your man all the support he needs.  PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL THE PROPHET TYPE OF MAN (CHAPTER 3) Moral to the story: Be flexible for your man.  A caution : Your most important job as a prophet's wife is keeping chaste and common sense attitude and conversation (not bad-mouthing folks).  Without it, your marriage will be miserable.  In this chapter, Debi began to talk about the types of men we have. She divided them into the Prophet type, the Priest and the King. The first one we are considering today is the Prophet.  "As a man moves into his late twenties and early thirties his image will become much more pronounced." Debi Pearl  Your ability to know who your man is, what he wants and how to serve him will bring fulfillment and bliss to you.  Give your man all the supports he needs ranging from emotional to spiritual support.  "The prophet or visionary  type of  man are maj...
