Because men love women that radiate their sexual energy and not one that makes everything look like sin. But there is no one size fits all.

That's more like it.. a woman that knows her onions and is able to radiate her sexuality will attract guys more.

Not to say she has to dress indecently or walk naked on streets to see husband.

Psalm 37

King James Version

37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.


13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.

18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him

As a Christian, no matter how focused and ambitious you are, you are promised suffering and afflictions by Jesus Christ. The wayward/unbeliever does not live under such a yoke. undecided

As a Christian, your "success" is measured not by the world's standards, but by standards set by Jesus Christ. So when Stephen was stoned to death, even a a young man probably in his 20s, he was a success story. For the wayward/unbeliever, there are no such limits as the world is indeed their oyster. undecided

As a Christian, your very continued existence is bound to your successful submission to and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, so sins and curses attack as you reject God's law. The unbeliever/wayward man who is not under such a yoke is not inhibited in such a way. undecided
You are at liberty to chose whatever you believe. My Christianity is against being poor on earth as a Christian. Abraham was not poor and he didn't leave a worldly life either. I know a lot of good Christians that are leaving a good life. The level God has taken me so far, is a enough testimony for me to know that he still have enough in stock for me without compromising my faith and trust in him.

Dear Nairalanders, there is something that I don't really understand about life or let me say religion. I know some people may see it as luck or destiny. But if we call it destiny, then every Christian or all child of God suspose to be prosper and leave a better life than Dangote.

Because according to Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version that's says For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

But when I check those guys we call pastors and Alfa in School (University) they don't play with Church Fellowship or Mosque prayers, they get the best results, as in when it come to Education, they are very sound but most of this people end up teaching in one local private school or the other. While those Stubborn guys, that go to Club and party every night, many of them manage to get Third class but they end up in better companies, some are abroad while some are in government.

Also, those ladies that doesn't allow man to touch thier hand not to talk of hugs, infact majority of them are still virgin base on thier looks and behavior ( Not all). They always reserve thier body for thier future husband Many of those ladies too are on the street looking for husband up till now and looking old now. Even those that marry among them are still looking for the friut of the womb. But those strippers, Club girls, they hardly attend attend class and many of them even graduated with poor result get the best husband, have beautiful kids and better job.

Now my question is, why those who lived a wayward life in school get better opportunities than Church goer or those Alfa?

What? undecided

You dont know that the New Covenant is styled by God in much the same way as the Old Covenant, complete with blessings curses, seal, commandments, ritual/ceremony, eligibility, Kingdom. and even a name by which the Covenant can be invoked? undecided

And here I was scolding someone of another religion of missing that. undecided
sir there is no law in the new testament. What we might call a law, which is the life style of the believer, is Love.

Rom.8.1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom.8.2 - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Gal.5.22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal.5.23 - Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

BLOODY LIE.

As long as the Church-goer is a commited Believer and a man/woman of character and ALSO hardworking, there is no evidence that someone who lived a wayward life is better grin grin

You must be joking. This agenda wont sell, mbok.
I was a Youth Pastor throughout my secondary school and university days- undergrad, masters and PhD.
Today, by God's grace I am an Assistant Professor soon to be Associate Professor, and a consultant to several global organisations.
I am not yet 30. I am not the only one with this story.

We are not taking of what I believe but what it means to be bound to one of God's Covenants. Ask the Israelites! undecided

Sure, you claim your Christianity is against being poor on earth but Jesus Christ did state that in order to become worthy of Him and gain access to Heaven,you first need to Sell everything you have and give it all away- Luke 13 vs 43-46 - declaring that no one will ever enter His Kingdom without doing that first. undecided

Sure, you know some good Christians living good lives but what should we do about the vast majority not doing the same? Pretend they do not count? I may even be possible that those experiencing suffering and tribulations in their lives are instead the ones marked by God as His, while you continue to focus on those who you find successful by world standards. undecided

Mark.10.30 - But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

What do you think the word "New Testament" means? The very title of the Section clearly reveals that a New Covenant/Law is revealed in its pages, yet you never realized even this? undecided

You stopped early and I dont think that is worth regretting for. You could still make more worth of the time in the third and fourth year na. Even if you dey go church with sense sef while also monitoring your life and not depending on the so called faith which is mostly hopeful fantasy, it is not bad = This is what some call Faith with work.

But here we are talking of who depended all through on the church during their stay in school and after school sef (believing they are the best of saints and that God will take care of everything concerning them with little effort from their side), and thereafter water pass garri because the REALITY is shocking especially in a country like Nigeria.
I didn't stop going to church

I changed church and started going only on sundays
