J3da:
It was our wedding day, I was so eager to see my beautiful bride. But I was so
disappointed when I saw her because she was looking like another person
entirely. The make-up artist that helped in preparing her for the wedding
succeeded in painting her as someone else. Recently, one of my big Uncle's
posted a picture of a lady on his wall and posted another picture along the
lady's picture; he asked his friends and followers, if they believe that the lady in
the two pictures is the same. I cannot believe it because the lady has been
toned up and made up to be more beautiful, spotless and gorgeous than she
really is.
My friends, the make-up business is one of the most trending
businesses today and I have nothing against it. After all, I remember that
whenever anyone fails a particular course in school, he or she is allowed to
make up for it by working extra hours and sometimes repeating the course.
Hence, I was shocked a few days ago, when the Holy Spirit began to speak to
me on the make-up generation. Let me sincerely remind you that God cannot be
mocked, He knows the truth about us.
When ladies apply make-up, it is to
make them look beautiful, attractive and most importantly to cover their
defects; but in the real sense of it, the make-up will not be there forever. The
make-up does not remove the defects in the person, rather it hides it for a
while. That means that your true picture will sooner or later emerge. My friends
used to jokingly say that you will know the actual beauty of a lady if you see
her very early in the morning, before she makes herself up.
My friends, there is
no make up that can cover our real identities and that can remove our defects.
It is a pity that many people have become so fake that they are even making
up for God. It is a shame that we are using air conditioned auditoriums,
powerful sound system and beautiful decorations as make-ups for evangelism,
because we want to attract people.
In a youth meeting that I attended, as we
were worshiping, artificial smoke was released and the Lord asked me, if that
can make-up for his manifold presence.
I asked my wife what happens to a lady
who have dark spots on her body but used make-up to cover them, but the
husband discovers it on her wedding night, when she must have washed up
everything to return to her normal self? What she was covering definitely will be
seen.
What are you covering from God? You can't pretend forever. Isaiah saw
his true picture before it was late, because he could have died as a great
prophet who had no heavenly recognition. Human applause does not mean
heavens approval. When you make-up, you can appear beautiful but you know
yourself.
Stop trying to impress people, why don't you accept yourself and stop
feeling inferior in yourself.
This is a generation that runs from the truth but
celebrates packaged lies as the truth. Many of our youths left churches where
they can be disciplined, where the presence of God is so real, where the power
of God is manifest and went to 'tushed' churches but when they have problems,
they run to prayer mountains and prophets. Who are you deceiving? Beautiful
clothing cannot make-up for bad lifestyle! Charisma cannot make-up for bad
character.
Speaking in tongues learnt cannot make-up for the true in-filling of
the Holy Spirit. Who are you really living for? God or people? Do you know why
you don't have peace? Why are you under so much pressure? Just to look good
before people. And then? Yes you are looking good before people but God does
not look at your appearance.
I heard the Lord say to Samuel, 'do not be
deceived, I have not chosen him. He looks the part but does not have the right
heart. You cannot continue to make-up forever, why not be true to yourself and
open up to Jesus? Adam and Eve were the first make-up artists, yet God saw
their unclothedness where they were hiding. Stop hiding, open up to Jesus and let him remould you. Shalom
Happy sunday to you all...

UjSizzle:

Calm down, this is not a political rally.

You suggested giving the youths a try. What indications have the youths shown to prove they are ready to govern if given the opportunity?


In your opening arguments you made mention of the youths who ruled the nation in the 70s and how they are the same people ruling the nation now. What difference did they make as youths as opposed to their decisions now?
What do you presume changed?

pseudonomer:


The youths that allow themselves to be used as tools of destruction, hate, division and looting by the professional treasury looters, the ones that kill a petty thief for stealing N20 but praise the “political class” for stealing their future and robbing it in their faces, the ones that are been blinded by religion and ethnicity, the ones whose rights have been denied for a very long time (lack of quality education and impoverished economy) thereby making them to accept anomalies as norms can actually make a great president? You want to give this youth your chance?

pseudonomer:


A trial can only be given to someone that is ready. Will you give someone that cannot solve simple arithmetic a chance to solve and Ordinary Differential Equation problem, unless you are gambler and Nigeria is not a country to gamble with.

pseudonomer:

There's no where I mentioned the old have failed directly. However, a youth ruling Nigeria will be a disaster....

POST UTME date hasn't been fixed. They can't have time for that now sef, they're frustrated already. But if they fix the date without resolving this issue, trust Awo boys na. Them go scatter am, that one na constant k.

jaryeh: To those clamouring for protests, that may not be possible now because majority have left, except for the ever-taatan Awo "men". Press conference is the way-forward, I think. It's just to let the world - government, parents, and all concerned citizens - know what's going on.
Apart from that, protests will be organized later, the SUG still awaits responses from contacted quarters such as the senate, SSA on Youth Matter etc.
So, fellow great Ife students, let's continue with our massive media campaign, let's create more threads, tweet more, update more on this issue. Giving up now will give the management an impression that it has won. No, we must fire on. No going back. Forget all the complaints, they won't help, let's do all we can to ensure our victory. If you have suggestions for the SUG, you can reach our president on facebook, just send him a message.

United we stand....
Aluta continua, Victoria ascerta.
