My wife and I were reading Genesis 6.
When we got to the part where God was grieved by the wickedness of mankind, one statement stood out to us:
“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”
We got excited and immediately began to pray, “Lord, let us find grace in Your sight.”
But in the middle of the prayer, a thought came to me:
Was Noah simply fortunate, or was there something about his life that positioned him for that grace?
So we kept reading.
The next verses revealed that Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation, and he walked with God. Later, God gave him instructions, and Noah obeyed.
That changed the direction of our prayer.
Instead of only asking God for grace, we began asking Him to help us cultivate the kind of life that attracts His favor. A life of righteousness, fellowship with Him, and obedience to His word.
Sometimes we are quick to pray for what Noah had, but we should also desire to become who Noah was.
May God help us not only to seek grace, but to live in a way that finds it.
Dear Christians,
Leave Nigerian YouTube rom-coms where the dominant message is two people falling into sexual relationships through morally casual means.
Denounce shows like Love Island, where sexual immorality, sensuality, and nudity are glamorized and packaged as entertainment for you.
Christians, bikini-wearing single strangers gather in a luxury villa and couple up in order to stay on the show.
And that is it. Strangers suddenly become couples. Sex and nudity become the dominant features of the program.
The show is rated TV-MA (Mature Audiences) in the United States.
Its content includes:
Contestants spending most of the day in bikinis, swimsuits, and revealing clothing.
Frequent discussions about sex, sexual attraction, and romantic relationships.
Kissing challenges where contestants kiss multiple people.
Couples sharing beds together and scenes showing couples becoming intimate under the covers in bedrooms.
This is what you are consuming as a Christian. Please, stop it.
The Bible says that we should leave all impure acts behind:
"Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God." (2 Corinthians 7:1)
Why gratify the desires of the flesh? Why fill and feed the lusts of your flesh?
These shows, the BBL-augmented actresses acting out fantasy romance scenarios in Nigerian YouTube movies;
the alcohol-fueled and nudity-filled BBNaija Friday night parties;
and the soft pornography of Love Island are categorically works of the flesh:
"The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery...drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19–21)
So why are you holding on to the things the Lord has called unholy?
Did the Lord not command His saints to come out of Babylon and touch nothing unclean?
"Therefore, 'Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.'
And, 'I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.'" (2 Corinthians 6:17–18)
Brethren, we are saying that these things are worldly wisdom, and they are corrupting you.
They are weights upon your soul, and they give birth to sinful desires within you.
It is sinful desire that leads to sin, and sin, when it is fully grown, brings forth death:
"But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." (James 1:14–15, NIV)
So what should you do?
Desist from them.
Delete them.
The purpose of entertainment in the Christian life should be that which primarily edifies your spirit.
Music is meant to make the Word of Christ dwell richly within us.
Our speech is meant to be seasoned with salt so that it edifies the hearer.
And what ought to fill your heart—your inner person—is the Word of God, so that you may walk in holiness:
"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." (Psalm 119:11, NIV)
Brethren, please be holy. Consecrate yourselves.
You are God's treasure, God's workmanship, born of the Spirit, and God Himself dwells within you.
Live accordingly.
God bless you.
I used to criticize people who were devoted to their Christian faith.
Those who never wanted anything to do with secular music, random relationships and so many "normal" things an average human does all the time.
I thought they weren't free, that they are living in set out rules that are complicating their lives.
Not until i fell into deep struggles and was looking out for hope. That is when i encountered Jesus Christ.
I was lost, empty and wandering down a terrible path society told me to follow. I thought i was living in freedom, but my life was heading to death.
I was deep in lust and addictions, it almost ruined my life, but Jesus pulled me out of that pit.
Now i understand why they had to live that way. This is a life of peace and not every human can boast of it. Knowing Jesus is like holding an answer sheet next to your question paper.
My life changed entirely, and now I'm living clean with peace and understanding. Now all i want to do is protect my peace by all means, by rejecting whatever society presents.
I'm afraid I've become what i once criticized 😩
