THE BEAUTIFUL TOMB


Speaking of a tomb. What's so beautiful about it for God's sake?
Have you ever considered the tomb? I mean those ones with great and decorated engravings not to speak of the price and all that has been contributed to it? Not considering its worth when measured. As beautiful as it may seem one major thing is certain  once it is opened those who admire it surely will take to their heels. Why? 

Thinking about it, why will God choose to deal with the heart and not consider beauty, height or weight or even physique? Taking a closer look at this part of the Bible I hope you will be able to point out those little foxes which spoils your precious vine and makes you feel like a bad breath. 
Matthew  15:11  Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.   Matthew  15:18  But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.For out of the heart come evil thoughts (reasonings and disputings and designs) such as murder, adultery, sexual vice, theft, false witnessing, slander, and irreverent speech.

Just like Solomon said in  Ecclesiastes  10:1  Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. 
Irrespective of who you those things still make you unpleasant before God not to speak of His creatures. So now is the time to work towards becoming a better you. Now is the time to come to the knowledge of the true essence of the birth of Jesus. Now is the time to screen those things you hear and listen to not excluding those movies which pollutes your mind. Now is the time to sit still and learn before the word of grace. Sanctify Us through thy truth. Your word is truth. This is not the time to deny your secret place for there is a battle for your mind that you maybe a dead sacrifice instead of the living sacrifice that you are meant to be. Abba is listening an the blood of Christ still works to speak better things on your behalf.
Will you return to your first love or go back to your vomit?

7 Reasons why you shouldn't delve into a relationship as a teenager.

Image
Relationships are really sweet. When I say relationship, I mean romance/love relationship. And if you’ll agree, teenage love relationships are usually the loveliest. You guys are still rocking your teen adventure, full of energy and glowing looks. Nowadays, it is somewhat strange to see an average 21st-century teenager who’s never been or isn’t in a love bond. They call it boyfriend and girlfriend and it’s been made so obligatory that there are some insecurities you feel when you are not in one. In my secondary school days, I could remember how guys who had no girlfriend were evacuated from groups in the class. Nobody wants to regard you if you’re not among. So, everyone seeks to have a love relationship even when they are far from the prerequisites. Having a love life in your teenage years isn’t a bad thing to do. Of course, there are folks whose relationship survived the storms and are now happily married. It works, but it’s almost rare. A lov...

Journey With My First Boo 2

Image
We started talking and he went to the issue of kissing but this time, he said he would not force me if I wasn't ready. I was deeply in love with him. (or so you thought) I closed all the windows so no one would see us and I said “Kiss me”. He kissed me and he said “let's have Sex”. {Insert mysterious tune here} I told him I was a Virgin and that there would be blood everywhere and he jokingly said, “how many tanks of blood do you have there?”. He told me there was a way he would do it and everything was going to be fine. I felt that I was ready and I was really going to have sex with him but I remembered something. My elder sisters got pregnant when they were teenagers and I was just 16 as at that time. I told him to stop that I wasn't ready. Then he stopped and told me he was leaving. That was the last time I saw him and the relationship ended. It has been 3 years since then and we haven’t been communicating. You can guess what my age is now, right. I am in my last l...
