Leaving It There : A Freewrite

in #blog4 days ago

Their convictions before leaving here matters. 2. Which type of work are they doing over there must be considered if it requires it or its the prescribed mode of dressing.Another thing I still need clarifications on is that is trouser a sin? If yes, then cloths of different materials is it a sin too? According to Deuteronomy 22:5, 9, 11We're no longer under the Old Testament laws this feels too extreme. It’s important to understand that these laws were not all moral absolutes; they were ceremonial and culturally tied to Israel’s identity and covenant at that time. This teaching was to seperate israel nation from surrounding pagan cultures. It's also to show holiness, sobriety, purity, decency and orderliness.

Just as buba and agbada are male-traditional attire clothing in South-Western Nigeria, other cultures have their distinct male/female clothing. You can't say, wearing them is sin...Please wear what fits and looks good in you..

Let’s not forget that cultural differences exist. You have your traditional attire ofi, buba, soro, and agbada go ahead and wear them. If you prefer an English suit, wear that too. The key is to dress modestly and cover your nakedness respectfully.

In some countries men wear skit and tie rapa as their attire, jalamia.. So if you see this on me or my wife as we go to church on sunday or Friday as the case may be you send us to hell-fire? Then you can't be a missionary. Bro stay in your local government abeggi God needs you there...

Now as to Deut 22:9 & 11 talking about not mixing fabrics (like wool and linen) or seeds. These were symbolic purity laws, not moral commands, tori Olorun.

They reminded Israel of God’s call to holiness and separation. Remember Christ has died ooo and his risen, his blood attone for our sins not seeds and what not. We are not bonded to ceremonial laws... Gal and col 2?

So today that we are wearing blended fabrics or planting mixed crops, wax and all sorts, is it sinful? nah hell-fire direct bi that abi? Hell no!!
Remember to read ITim 2:9 and keep this too, what matters most is our heart, intent, and our modesty before God and others.

Mind you to you $1m wristwatch can be modest to another it's extravagant.. This then is a food for thought...Some of you have sent people out of the Church more than the devil.The first and only "D" I had in EKSU was from Pastor Bada. My own ACAs class governor, I was responsible for submitting our continuous assessment (CA) by 10:00 AM on Wednesday. Despite having another class from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, I secured permission from that lecturer to personally deliver the assignment to Mr. Bada.

I arrived at his office at 9:50 AM, a full ten minutes before the deadline, only to be told I was late. Even after respectfully reminding him of the time and was like attempting to connect on a personal level as the Children's Choir Master, I was abruptly ordered out of his office. This encounter significantly impacted the class academic performance in that course. There was no CA for all of us.

When result came out, I was highest with 48/60 in exam. Only the Exam score was recorded, no CA. That was how i ended up having a "D". Come and see plenty "F".I switch my alligience like Abraham from UR to Cannan. I migrated immediately from main campus to Iworoko peacefully. Where I met one handsome, loving and soul lifting AC. Fair in complexion. I will not mention his name.

But if u are one of those that started Iworoko campus in that Primary School opposite palace, you will know himOur Amiable Lecturers, pls...... Ejo. Bend rules when you see ur Christian Students. Assist them, lend them helping hands.
