| Religion / Is Family Planning A Sin? by mocochannel: 8:43am On Mar 29, 2023 |
IS FAMILY PLANNING A SIN? What is Family planning? Family planning can be defined as 'the use of birth control to determine the number of children there will be in a family and when those children will be born'. It includes the use of artificial contraception, voluntary sterilization, treatment of involuntary infertility, natural family planning, or other methods to either prevent or encourage pregnancy. Reasons for family planning vary from family to family. It can be influenced by many factors such as marital issues, career choices, financial state, physical disabilities, among others. If couples are sexually active, family planning may involve the use of contraception and other techniques to control the number and timing of reproduction. Is Family Planning Wrong? The Bible does not condemn the mere act of birth control, whether to encourage or prevent pregnancy. What the Bible condemns is abortive birth control method. The story of Onan & Tamar One Bible passage that talks about birth control is Genesis chapter 38, which gives the account of Judah's sons Er and Onan. Er married a woman named Tamar, but he was wicked and the Lord put him to death, leaving Tamar with no husband or children. Tamar was then given in marriage to Er's brother, Onan, in accordance with the law of levirate marriage (Deut. 25:5-6). According to the law, the first son of Onan and Tamar shall carry on the name of Onan's dead brother so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel. Onan didn't want to perform this duty, so he practiced a form of birth control, withdrawal. Onan had a selfish interest; he used Tamar for his own pleasure but refused to perform his legal duty of creating an heir for his deceased brother. The verse 10 says, “What he did was wicked in the LORD'S sight; so He put him to death also.'' This passage doesn't mean God disapprove birth control, as some may take it to be. It was not Onan's contraception method that caused the Lord to put him to death; it was his selfish motives behind the action. Hence, it is not the use of contraception that is wrong or right, it is the intention behind the contraception that determines if it is wrong or right. Does family planning means lack of trust in God? Some people also think that if we want to "trust God" to determine the size of our families, then we should not use birth control. Why should we reason that the way to let God decide the size of our families is to get out of the way and just let nature take its course? We certainly don't reason this way in other areas of life. For instance, we don't reason that we should never get haircuts so that "God can decide" the length of our hair. Also, farmers don't reason that they should never regulate their crops so that ''God can decide'' what should grow on their land. God wants us to use the godly wisdom He has given us to regulate and direct creation including our families (Gen. 1:28). When we do this in the right way, God is glorified. But children are gifts from God? Yes, it is true that children are a gift and a heritage from the Lord (Gen. 33:5, Ps. 127:3). However, that doesn't mean it is wrong to regulate the number of children in a family. For instance, Proverbs 18:22 shows that a wife is a gift from God, but that doesn't mean it is wrong to stay single (1 Cor. 7:  . It is wrong to think that if something is good and a gift from God, then we must pursue as much of it as possible.Some people don't marry for kingdom purpose. In the same way some people don't want to have many children for kingdom purpose. It is good for couples to have the number of children that they believe they can reasonably nurture together with other callings they may also have on their lives. What about abortive methods of birth control? It is not wrong to use contraception to control the number and timing of birth. However, couples should be careful to avoid methods that would cause abortion. Deliberately ending the life of an unborn child is the same as deliberately killing a born baby. The use of abortion pills and post-conception methods of birth control are therefore not acceptable. To do that is a sin of murder! What if contraception fails? Although couples can plan the number and timing of their children, they must accept the truth that God’s will cannot be thwarted. As Proverbs 19:21 says, ''Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD'S purpose that prevails.'' Couples may plan the size of their family, but they will actually have children precisely at the time God permits, whether they use birth control or not. Therefore, if a woman becomes pregnant unexpectedly or unwillingly, the pregnancy should be allowed to stay. Abortion is not an acceptable form of birth control, because abortion causes the death of a living human being. Conclusion God wants us to plan our lives including our families in a way that would bring Him glory. As 1Corinthians 10:31 says, ''So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.'' Family planning is therefore not wrong if it is done in the right way with right motive to glorify God. For more of this click here |

| Romance / The Difference Between Love, Understanding, And Stupidity by mocochannel: 7:30am On Mar 29, 2023 |
The Difference Between Love, Understanding, and Stupidity  Many have said several things about love, but when it comes to its expression, they have done silly things all in the name of I'm in love. Why many say nasty things about love is because they lack the understanding of what love is. Truth be told, many have done foolish things when they thought they were actually in love, but when they knew better, they regretted their silliness. Please understand this, the expression of love does not rip off your common sense, it's folly that ruins your sense of reasoning and makes you act on the impulse of feelings. What is love, understanding, and what's stupidity? You need to know the difference between these, so you can call yourself to order when you're drifting towards folly, or you're not acting in love. Love has no single definition that perfectly describes it. But stupidity is a behavior that shows a lack of good sense or judgment. Love is a command and it's a decision you make based on who you choose to relate with on a deeper level of commitment, but stupidity is your ignorant approach to issues that shows a lack of thoughtful decision or common sense. True love is unconditional, selfless, and sacrificial, but stupidity expressed as love is unreasonable, ignorant, and myopic. Below are the scenarios that show the difference between love, understanding, and stupidity. 1. Love is when you can conveniently give someone ₦2,000 out of ₦10,000, but stupidity is to give someone your school fees or hard-earned money and you're left to soak garri or beg people for money. 2. Stupidity is to express sex as love, and you refrain from correcting your mistake because you think a man would love you as he keeps having sex with you. But understanding is to have the end in mind before you do such. 3. It is love to let go of a toxic relationship, but it's stupidity to hold onto it for fear of the unknown or for becoming single again. 4. Folly is when a Christian tries to convert an unbeliever with the hope that they would change so you can marry him or her, but love is when you understand that you two can't work together because you're incompatible. 5. It is understanding to know that when a relationship does not have marriage as its goal, you quit; but foolishness is when you try to patch it and force it into marriage. 6. It is sheer ignorance to continue with illicit sex because everyone is doing it, but when you love your life and destiny, you'd know that such action would lead to doom. 7. It is love and understanding when you do not collect money from a guy, but silliness is to accept his money when you know that you don't have anything to do with him. 8. Love is when you know what you want in a relationship and you go for it, but stupidity is when you're confused about what you want and you do not seek insight to douse your confusion. 9. It's silly to allow a man to stimulate you sexually but you told him not to penetrate because penetration is sinful and you don't want to lose your virginity, but love is when you flee all appearance of evil that would affect your sexual purity and dignity. 10. It is ignorance of the highest order to think sex is all that a man needs, but understanding makes you focus on those things that would make you indispensable, irreplaceable, and an exceptional life without giving him sex outside the right environment. 11. When a man feels like his money and sexual prowess are all that makes him a man, he's no different from an ignoramus. But a man of understanding knows that his ability to shield a woman from all evil is one of the most important roles a man is to play. 12. It is stupidity to think God would guide you on who to marry when you're busy dating all the Tom, Dick, and Harry who come into your life for a relationship. But understanding makes you trust in Him with all your heart and never lean on your understanding. 13. It is love to give your all as a woman to a man who has proven himself to be committed to your all, and he has done so not by making promises, but through practical steps that lead to marriage. But ignorance is to give yourself to a man who wants physical intimacy but shy away from commitment. 14. It is understanding not to give the privilege of a wife or husband to someone who sees you as an option, but stupidity makes you prove that you're a wife or husband material when your proofs are invalid. 15. No one proves that they're alive; I don't think such a test exists. But ignorance is trying to validate your worth to someone who doesn't appreciate it in the first place. 16. It is understanding to prepare yourself for marriage when you know you're not ready for it, but ignorance is to allow pressure or people push you into it because you're getting old, or because your mates are getting married. 17. It is self-love when you understand that what you intend to do would lead to regret and you avoid it, but stupidity is to throw caution into the air because of the immediate pleasure you'd derive. 18. It is stupidity to love others when you don't love yourself. But understanding is to first love God, then yourself, and then others because you can't give what you do not have. 19. It is ignorance to seek who to marry when you don't know why you're here on earth. Meanwhile, it's understanding to discover why God created you before your quest for a partner. However, when you love your life, you'd major in the major then minor in the minor. 20. Love is when you use your head as you make a major, minor or moderate decision that would affect your life; but stupidity is when you act on the impulse of feelings, excitement, pleasure, and ignorance over regrettable issues.

| Adverts / 15 Crucial Questions To Ask Your Partner Before You Give Consent To Marry Him by mocochannel: 6:37pm On Mar 28, 2023 |
Dear queens, if you're in a serious courtship at the moment (or you have plan to start one soon), then the things I want to talk about in this post is for you. One of the reasons why marriages are failing lately is because priorities have been misplaced. Many young ladies just focus on things that do not have benefit while in relationship. They want to have all the fun with their partner, club together, visit all the restaurants, take studio shots, do Tiktok videos to "pepper" online community, have sex...and they will continue in such manners until boom...they realize that they are married already...then everything turns sour. Anyone who wants to thrive in marriage must pray and plan ahead. Remember, he who fails to plan has planned to fail. There are important questions that you must ask your man before you give your consent to marry him. His responses will expose the extent to which both of you are compatible/incompatible. The book of Amos 3: 3 says "Can two walk together, unless they are agree?" Knowing these things about your spouse will help reveal the level of agreement between you two and this will help you decide whether or not to settle with such a man. Please bear in mind that you may not be able to get a man that is 100/100 ✌️ Among many others, here are 15 crucial questions to ask your man before you give consent to marry him.... 1. Why do you want to marry? When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. There are men who do not know the aim of marriage. There are others who wants to marry for wrong reasons. Before you agree to marry any man, make sure he has discussed the reasons he wants to marry with you. 2. What is your Genotype and Blood Group? This question should come at the early stage of a purpose driven relationship. No be the one una go don print wedding I.V. come discover say una get genotype mismatch. 3. Are you born again? If you marry a true child of God, trust me, it will save you a whole lot of headache in marriage. But don't forget, iron sharpeneth iron. If he's burning for Christ, don't be the one to put out his fire. 4. How many children would you like to have? 5. What will you do if I'm unable to conceive or we experience any difficulty in having children? 6. What if I'm only able to bear you a certain gender (say female children only)? 7. Are we going to keep our monies together or separately? 8. Do you want a full house wife that does not work? 9. Are we going to be living in your family house after wedding? 10. What are those things I would do that you will never forgive? What are the deal breakers? 11. What's your take on divorce? 12. In whose names are we going to be acquiring properties and why? 13. Are we going to define responsibilities or we sort all tasks together? 14. Do you have any plan to marry more than one wife in your lifetime? 15. Do you have any major secrets you haven't shared with me? When next you go out with him, don't just go to eat fish, take selfies and watch movies, discuss things that matter. Make sure he's sincere with his responses. Pay attention while he responds, go back home and give each response a deep thought. 1 Like 2 Shares
