pansophic:
Do you ever consider at this time we are that God is very concerned about how we dress ourselves as his children, right from the very hair on our heads to the sole of our feet?

God is very interested in your appearance if truly you belong to him and he seeks your total obedience to his word he has given us. Here are some of the things God said to us in the Bible.

He said;

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2

And also;

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them." 1 John 2:15

These verses highlight the distinction between believers and the world, emphasizing the challenges and choices faced by those seeking to live in accordance with their faith.

The very "world" the Bible is making reference to are the ungodly things we find around us. From the latest trends to the latest fashion, to the new gadgets, to the glorified beauty norms and products and even to the lifestyle of the world, Our jealous God doesn't want us in any form to be one with them. Thus, he gave us those instructions.

Loving the world and the things in it only brings enmity and separation from God. As followers of his word, we need to understand this and make our adjustments where necessary if we ever desire to be where he is. This may be hard for us to accept but it is necessary and rewarding to our souls. By the guidance and support of the Holy Spirit, we shall conquer all there is to conquer.

Thereby, the issue of hairstyle comes in. What manner of hairstyle do you (if you have a good level of discernment) think Jesus had when he was alive here on earth? What manner of hairstyle do you believe the apostles and godly women in those days put on? If you are a honest person within yourself, you will know that it definitely has no resemblance with the arrogant and lustful appearance of today.

I'm speaking about hairstyles such as

1. Afro, Fade, Galaxy, Phunk, Sports Waves and the like

As true believers in Christ, the names of these haircuts are supposed to irritate us alone compared to wearing them. They give the vibe of worldliness and canality and do not speak of or glorify God at all. Their design is of the ungodly world of which God himself is enemy to and shouldn't be put on, practiced or admired by anyone who claims to belong to him.

Remember Leviticus 19:27 (NIV): "Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard."

This scripture emphasizes on the detestable appearance of hairstyles which involves the cutting of the hair at the sides of the head such as those mentioned above. Most boys and men alike today act contrary to this verse by cutting the corners of their hair and leaving the middle to be full. This will only bring God's judgment upon us as we are being disobedient to his word in that verse. You may feel, "this is far stretched and insignificant today" or "it applies to only a specific set of people".

Dear friend, it applies to all God's children. God doesn't seek half obedience or service but a total of our personality ranging from the heart, to the mind and even our bodily appearance. You need to accept this message as many has fallen and been judged because of it.

2. Attachments, Tinting, relaxing, stretching and perming of the hair:

1 Peter 3:3-4 (NIV): "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."

1 Timothy 2:9-10 (NIV): "I also want the women to dress modestly, with DECENCY AND PROPRIETY, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God."

A deep research on the origin of these things will reveal that these things are from the ungodly world and the devil, not from the Father who chose us. They are the vices of the devil to trap as many women as he can to fall with him to destruction and putting them on will make this a reality for you when you leave this world.

The Bible urges women to be decent in their appearance as God wants there to be a stark difference in appearance between his own daughters and that of the world which by design tinting, relaxing, perming and attachments to the hair won't give. Yes dear reader, this is true though you may be told otherwise, accept the truth and make adjustments where necessary as a daughter of the Lord you are - to be natural in your appearance as he had created you. Keeping your hair long, neat and well dressed without any forms of artificial beauty attached to it. You're beautiful in the eyes of the Lord just the way you are and making artificial changes to your appearance will only separate you from God and puts you up for his judgment.

Romans 12:1 (NIV): "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."

3. The total scraping of the hairs on the head or keeping of long hair as a Man.

Ezekiel 44:20 (NIV): "They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but they are to keep the hair of their heads trimmed."

Scraping your hair until your scalp appears is detestable unto God just as the style of keeping a long hair as a man. God spoke his mind, his very heart of what he desires for his people in that verse and other verses in his word. If he had no issues with such, he wouldn't have made it known as God never gives empty words or speaks to just to fill the silence. You need to understand that you aren't just any ordinary individual but one who is chosen by God through salvation as a priest unto him forever. Thus, you have to live your life in accordance with that which pleases him as this and only this is your true service to Him. Doing otherwise will only make you a rebel and a sinner before him.

1 Peter 2:9 (NIV): "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."

An Ending Message For You

If you're reading this, it is because God wants you to. You're blessed by his grace to be here. Do not abuse or waste it. You don't belong to this world and you're surely going somewhere beyond this world. You may go tomorrow, next year or the other years to come. By the mercies of God, be wise enough to make corrections through the Holy Spirit as you are loved by Christ who died for you and I. Accept this truth from him with your heart and live by it genuinely. You are a precious soul to Jesus who died for you and that is why you're privileged to be alive to read this. Make wise use of this privilege to correct your errors as only the truth can save you if you apply it to your life. Grace of the Lord be with you.

Study your Bible very well the things of the world being referred to are the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life

1 john 2:15-16

Nigeria has completely regressed to the state of nature where life is nasty brutish and short but with no hopes on sight.

Humans are by nature prone to do evil. It is only the rule of law and the threat of punishment that keeps them in check.

Once a few evil deeds go unpunished and there is no justice, people cast off their restraint and evil becomes widespread.

tremilatre:
Simply because we pray out if emotion and without biblical guidance.
I never for once read about Jesus or the apostles praying "fall down and die" or against their enemies.
They never pray for blessing. We pray about vain things and expect to get answers. God is not vain.
The Lord's prayer is a good guide to how we should pray.

what about the part that says our daily bread?

i'm planning on studying computer science in unilorin but it seems the public consensus is that computer science taught in nigeria university is outdated so is it worth the money and time to still study it.
I love computer science but i'm mainly doing it for the money and i'm currently learning python so is it worth going to study it in the university to get the certificate or being self-taught is better

Yo bro I beg you in d name of God change d institution first don't go to unilorin for anything it's a waste of time you can choose any other public university but not unilorin, unilorin is just better by stress...
I would advice you to go to school where only computer is being taught it would save u some stress and unnecessary work/courses..unilorin will only choke u with theories and less practical... Peace

Someone on here most have gone or is going through this so I would really like to hear your input on the issue.
So, I'm a young guy, sexually active and recently I've been having sex with this lady i go to the same university with. She is 3 years older than me. There is no label to what we are. We are certainly not boyfriend and girlfriend just two people doing it. She is the first person I ever had sex with.
The first time we had sex she gave me Mouth Action and then it didn't seem like it was a big deal, or I assumed. After all the porn I watched, I just felt that it was a very normal thing to do during sex until I came inside her mouth and she was not too pleased about that. She later opened up to me and said that she has had sex with a number of people but never did she give any of them Mouth Action.

Fast forward..... I've now had sex with her a good ñumber of times and the blow jobs she gives are the best part. I usually don't even enjoy sex like that.
Well, recently she asked me to go down on her. I didnt want to, but I did and it was the most unpleasant thing I ever did in my life. Nooo!! I know what u are thinking. she does not smell down there and she is not dirty at all. Naa this lady is beautiful and smells like roses. She is very conscious about hygiene. The thing was I just didn't enjoy knowing I was doing that arrrrgghhhh.
I hated it, but I coudnt tell her cuz I don't want to lose the blow jobs she gives or even the sex in general.
I feel like they are two different things and she should understand that.

Na olosho u dey Bleep oga, I will advice you to stop now before it ruin's you...bro repent now and let God take control.. don't let fornication deprive you of your blessings. Give your life to Christ now before it's too late!
