Don't Get It Twisted, Christianity Isn't Fear by RonnyG(f): 10:43pm On Jul 09, 2016 |
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. I just remembered... Some years ago, I stumbled on a "Christian" magazine. "Christian" in quotes because that's what it was disguised as. In the magazine, a woman narrated that she had worked for the devil before she got saved. She then began to mention some things that they use in the devil's kingdom- earrings, trousers, weavon attachments, make up etc. And that if you used these things, you were using what belongs to the devil Shuoooo?.... I was so scared of going to hell or using what they use in the devil's kingdom so I decided to stop using earrings. I gave up my trousers. I didn't use any make-up any longer. I remember that period was close to my cousin's wedding and when I was supposed to plait a good hairstyle and look all "fine", I told the hairdresser I wanted to make "Bob marley" with wool (you know Owu now). I can't remember at what point I got back to wearing earrings back or trousers or using make-up but I surely cannot forget the pain I put myself through carrying my Owu bobmarley upandan. Chai! It was too heavy. Tiri gbosa for all those who use wool to make their hair. Una dey try o! I remember people asking me why I used wool instead of attachment and I kept saying I just wanted to try out something new. Something new kor... Well, I know I regretted making that hairstyle and I determined not to use it again. That was the first and last time. All in all, I can never forget how much fear that magazine put into me. All because I was simply ignorant of what God was saying through His Word. Truly, if a message puts fear in you, it is not of God. God doesn't put fear in us. If a preaching puts you in bondage, it is not of God because the Spirit we have received is one of freedom. I don't want to go into that is-trousers-a-sin or are-earrings-good-or-not argument. That's not why I have posted this. But please, seek to understand what God's Word is saying about everything just so you don't put yourself under unnecessary bondage. P.S: I have not written this to condemn my fellow sisters in Christ who don't wear earrings or trousers or make-up. I see absolutely nothing wrong with your way of life too just as I see nothing wrong in using these things. # CalledToBeFree # OrifunkeLawal 1 Like |

Most churches in Nigeria preach about fear rather than the truth. |

hopefulLandlord: Not even heaven and hell, remove only hell and the number will plummet. I believe many are serving God because of the fear of hell. |
