Nudity In The House Of God, I Can’t Believe This by olalekan1(m): 1:35pm On Dec 22, 2009
This came from a popular forum on the internet and I know it will be helpful. If you are a muslim please use this great month of Ramadan and pass the message to all your christian friends and if you are a christian please let the word keep spreading.

NUDITY IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS
Feel free to make adjustments/correction(s) where necessary because I am not
perfect ("And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing
shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou
me good? There is none good but one, that is, GOD: ……Matthew 19:16:17.

The above topic has been bothering me and other Nigerians who are more concerned
with what is happening to our new-dawn fashion style amongst Christians. The
stories I am about to share with you are genuine/facts. I saw them but couldn't
take their pictures as reference eventhough there was camera as at that time -
the pictures would be of-no-use to me neither to God. I just want everyone to be
cautious of them and train their children in the way of the Lord. They should
not limit the training to their children alone; it should be seriously shared in
Churches across Nigeria.

In fact, for proper dissemination of this message, it will be more appropriate
if MARRIED WOMAN should address it. I have told my wife times without number
thinking she would take it up but did nothing about it. After several
observations, I noticed that our WOMEN found it difficult to discuss this, so I
decided to. Recently, I visited some churches and they were deliberating on the
same issue. Women argument is that trousers make: (i) their movement
easier/smoother than skirts
(ii) them work faster at home and in the office.

Like the elders do say, "charity begins at home". My first point of view is our
individuals' home and I would mingle it with some of the bible's verses. Join me
to examine the following God's words: -

• "Parents, train your child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will
not turn from it"…Proverb 22:6
• Do not love-peddler thy daughter, to cause her to be a LovePeddler; lest the land fall
to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness….Leviticus 19:29
• "Fathers, do not exasperate (frustrate) your children instead, bring them up
in the training and instruction of the Lord"….Ephesians 6:4
• "Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a love-peddler and with crafty
intent"…Proverb 7:10
• "I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with
braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes 9but with good deeds,
appropriate for women who profess to worship God"…1Timothy 2:10
• "19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in
you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at
a price. Therefore honor God with your body,"…1 Cor. 6:19-20

Where are our mothers? Hope they are not sleeping. I could remember vividly
those days when mothers used to have two to three clothes (rappers) to cover
their God giving bodies. Fathers of then would only manage to see their bodies
during & after HONEYMOON. This strictly made many ladies to protect their
virginity until their wedding day.

Apparently, the story has changed. Virgins (pure ladies) are now very expensive
and scarce these days. I have heard several cases of sexual harassment; despoiled;
student's abuse; new-born child abandoned; abortion etc; all these were very
rare years back. In a commuter bus (MOLUE), while standing a man would be trying
to connect to a woman who exposes her top bottom. It's as worse as that. I have
heard several cases of such. Shameless men! A lady once told me that a man
wanted to touch her bosom in a MOLUE bus. Who is to blame?

Now let me share some stories, which are facts, with you.

1. I attended a Youth Fellowship discussion in one of our churches in Lagos. I
couldn't believe what I saw. The preacher wore a nice imported and lovely suit.
Some of the ladies wore night-gowns which I took to be half-unclothed clothes
because their privacy were exposed.

2. Similarly, at Surulere; a lady, who was leading the worship song that day,
wore short-knicker and short-top-shirt. She used handkerchief to cover her hair.
The questions I asked myself were:

a. Was the pastor or assistant pastor around?
b. Did she know she would come to church that day?
c. Even if she knew, how come she stood at the podium leading the congregation
of God with her knee & navel showing?
d. What are they turning Churches into?

3. In the same Surulere, but another congregation; during our prayer session,
pastor told us to hold our partners, and my next neighbour (a lady) wore
short-knicker & short-skirt with her navel showing. Thank God we closed our eyes
for that prayer and as we finished while still standing, the pastor said – tell
your neighbour "it is well with you". Instead of me facing her, I turned to the
next person (an old man) at the other side and pointed my fingers at the two of
them for the proclamation.

4. In May 2009, we attended a church seminar (the seminar was held immediately
after the church service) in one of the biggest churches at Lekki. My partner (a
Muslim brother) pointed at different married women whose 50% of their bosoms
were exposed in the church premises. I later discovered that they came with
scarves which they used to cover their exposed privacy during church service and
remove them immediately they rounded off the service. What are they
preaching/portraying to their children?

You must have come across a similar case like any of these:

• There were several cases of ladies who expose their bosoms, all in the name
of new-dawn fashion. They would wear shirts either short or long, designed in V
or U shape, which will drastically expose their bosoms. Such ladies should not
even bother to bend down if not……"heaven will fall".

• I would rather not say it is bad for ladies to wear trousers. But the issue
is, if they dress modestly as the bible strictly emphasized in 1Timothy 2:10 "I
also want women to dress modestly; with decency and propriety….there wouldn't be
an issue on corruptible dressing. In one of our polytechnics, there is a message
on a long-wide billboard attached to a hall which read "Dress in a way, you
should be addressed" Men of different kinds always make jest of ladies found
exposing their privacy while on motor-bike. Since her trouser is long enough,
the top must be short. Is that the new law in fashion? Or Are they selling
themselves? And there is no other alternative cloth (both up & down) better
enough.

• For goodness sake, God owns the body; wife is the principal while her husband
is the agent. But the body would still finally return to the ground where it
comes from…, Gen. 2:7;1Cor. 6:13; Col. 2:17; 1Cor.7:4;


• Our ladies would wear trousers with short-top-shirts which allow their privacy
(top bottom) to expose to the world when sitting in a commuter bus, motor-bike
(okada), even at gatherings etc. They would now start fighting with their
top-shirts & trousers when being corrected by well-meaning Nigerians that don't
feel comfortable seeing such. I have seen thousand of these. In fact, there is
no day that I won't see it (please, be guarded; I am not a watchman). I don't
know if they want me to cover my eyes everyday. It has become apparent amongst
women/students. In Matthew 5:28, Jesus said "whoever looks at a woman and
cherishes lustful thoughts has already committed adultery" My prayer is that God
should not cease from empowering us to overshadow the work of devil.

• Married women inclusive. They too wear this short-top-shirt not minding what
they are preaching to the young ladies around. I wonder what their husbands do.
Some may even say, "their husbands like it that way". They bought them nice
short-knicker, bad short-top-shirt and several corruptible dresses. My wife too
has trousers; in fact, I have stopped her from putting them on. I told her the
reason for my action and even at all she wants to wear trouser, she must put-on
long-top-shirt. Her privacy is for me alone (not for anybody else. I cherish and
value it a lot) until I grow old and pass on…, 1Cor.7:4

A lot still need to be done. Please, read along with me:

1. "The man and his wife were both unclothed, and they felt no shame"…Genesis 2:25.
That means Adam & Eve knew nothing about clothing. But immediately they ate the
forbidden fruits…."Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized
they were unclothed; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings
themselves", …Gen. 3:7 (Imagine!!! To whom were they covering their bodies in
that garden? Is it to themselves, satan, animals, trees or invisible God?).

2. Our elders/leaders (be it: Bishop, Rev., Deacon, Evangelist, Dr., Engr.,
SAN/Barrister, Pastor etc.) in the Church should always address and discuss this
issue.

3. For Church leaders/believers, we should always remember this: "For we are
God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared
in advance for us to do."… Ephesians 2:10

4. Can a lady/woman with short-top-shirt, which exposes her navel & top bottom,
preach to an unbeliever? Like those ladies/married women I have discussed about,
can they come to change the life of a womanizer? Consequently, many ladies have
been despoiled while some start businesses (high-class prostitution) from there.
Improper care by parents.

5. Students are not left out; some ladies will pretend at home when on vacation,
and would become rascal as they resume session in school. After all, we were
once in tertiary institutions. Old men come to pick young ladies… Who is to
blame? Is it the old cargos that cannot stay at home with their wives or Parents
or the students?

6. Jesus also said "The harvest day was plenteous but the labourers are few,
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers
into his harvest" …Matthew 9:37-38

7. My prayer for our Pastors is that God in His infinity mercy will continue to
strengthen and empower them for that great day ahead. Please, don't encourage
your members to wear corruptible dresses. Let them know the negative parts of
this action. I am not saying they should not wear trousers but atleast if the
top-shirt is long enough to cover the body to the knee……it would be far better.

More so, men own trousers by all standards. Can someone proof how it should be
worn by women? My proof are:

• How does a woman excrete? Can she do that with trouser-on the way man does it
comfortably without UnCloth?
• The way we look/appear is the way our dresses are designed. Remember, God
gives wisdom, knowledge and understanding, Exodus 31:3
• "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a
man put on a woman's GARMENT: for all that DO SO ARE ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD
THY GOD"….Deuteronomy 22:5. God have mercy.

8. Remember that: "devil is roaring around like a lion seeking for whom to
devour"….1Peter 5:8. We, men, need to be very careful these days; maybe we have
forgotten, bad women are roaring around like lions seeking for whom to fall.
"24Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my
mouth. 25Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by
her. 27Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of
death"….Proverb 7: 24-26

9. A man with several women is like a male-dog walking around streets seeking
for several female-dogs to sleep with. Stick to your wife. "Concerning what you
wrote to me, it is not good for a man to touch a woman but because of sexual
immorality, let each individual has his own wife"……1Cor. 7:1-3

10. Matthew 24:1-end emphasized the significant of `END TIME'. I am not supposed
to be disturbed or worried about this issue but it has become obvious, and the
world is watching us "Christians – Christ like". "4 And Jesus answered and said
unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 11 And many false prophets shall
rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of
many shall wax cold… Matthew 24:4,11,12…, end

Evangelist Tope Alabi (a gospel singer) portrayed how ladies/women should dress
in her album - titled "KOKORO IGBALA" I know they must have listened to the
message but they wouldn't practice the doctrine. "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly
declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but
with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables
of the heart"…2Cor. 3:3. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding come from God ("And
I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and
in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship" ………Exodus. 31: 3:6.

Finally, bible says "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the
spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"……Matt. 26: 41

I am thanking GOD for giving me this opportunity to pour out my heart for
Christians. Let's spread the gospel and endeavour to correct one another when
seen going astray.

Please, kindly share this message or make copies for your friends (if possible).
May God help us… and answers all our prayers. Amen.

There are many things too shameful to list that go on in the Muslim world - these are not secrets.

Today, when Muslim clerics kiss boys with lustful hunger, people laugh it off:

. . . or when muslim clerics suck the tongues of their male attendants and loyalists, people also laugh them off:

Abu Zola:

No, there is no 'space' for homosexualism in Islam . .  that's why all other spaces in the Muslim world are used by your clerics to suck the tongues of little boys (not to mention the 'spaces' in hospital wards where your muslim clerics are sucking the tongues of patients). No 'space' indeed! If they gave those men real 'space', our little boys will be an endangered species! grin

@ VIARO

Not all acts of 'kissing' have a sexual undertone. It might just be a part of their custom or a religious rite of spiritual importance.

Do not judge other cultures based on western principles. That kissing is an act of sexual affection in the west doesn't necessarily mean it means the same thing in the far east.

@ VIARO

No, I didn't say so. And I'm very aware that there are various ways (including kissing on cheeks or hugging/embracing) of showing communal correspondence in many cultures and religions.

Do not judge other cultures based on western principles.

I wasn't doing so.

That kissing is an act of sexual affection in the west doesn't necessarily mean it means the same thing in the far east.

It depends on context. And no, I have not attempted to use western ideas to interpret Muslim kissing.

oga deepsight, thats correct jare


@poster,
because those dresses now carry a gucci label or have fancy names(bikini, spaghetti, sleeveless, etc) or are any western designer brand, they are evil. if aso-oke or ankara exposed someone like that, you'd say its promoting culture. since the church should not be a place to put up a fake decent appearance(but rather reflect good character, dressing and any other thing they fuss about), appearances should also matter outside the church building shebi GOD is looking at us anytime. try campaign and have stuffs like calabar carnival cancelled cos of some exposed navels and big busts(oh, sorry. its the western dresses that have the problem not the b.ooby exposure).
and you people come and accuse the boko haram. same same!
