2 Corinthians 6:17
I went to the computer lab today to check out what is going on in this world, and I stumbled across a skin bleaching topic on a website. I starting scrolling across
different reviews of skin bleaching,whitening,toning whatever it's called. and I really just want to say this BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR SKIN! God made you black for a reason if he wanted you to be white he would have made you WHITE, if he wanted you to be black, he would have made you BLACK. I mean look at this young pop star who decided he wants to be African American because people kept questioning why he acts like an African-american when he isn't. I've realized it doesn't matter what color of skin you have , whether you decide to bleach your skin pale white or tan your skin burnt brown the DNA doesn't lie! your roots will immediately be traced , no matter what you do to yourself.
I'm going to be honest, When I was around the age of 16 I started looking for ways to be lighter so i'm speaking from experience, I wanted this not because of low self esteem just because of mere curiosity it was a back and forth kind of thing, but because I wasn't making money back then, so I dropped it. When I was 17 going close to 18 I picked it up again, after I got a job but you may be wondering why? well I just wanted to be fair in complexion there was nothing psychologically attached to it, I didn't have low-self esteem , I was depressed during that time, but I didn't bleach because of that, I just wanted to be fair for no reason period. As time went on the creams I bought had no effect it did remove some of my dark spots but I didn't see the brightening effect so I decided to quit because it was a waste of time and money.
After I gave my life to Christ I realized that it was a sin to bleach, because it's a big insult to God, it's like telling him that the color he gave you wasn't good enough,
And God saw everything that he had made and behold it was very good . And the evening and the morning became the sixth day. Genesis 1:31
When God created you, he looked at you and said "this is very good" Anything that is telling you otherwise is a lie from the pits of hell, the devil wants you to believe that the way God created you wasn't perfect enough, don't give in to his lies you were derived from the image of God, that is something that the devil doesn't have, not even the angels in Heaven, that is the reason why the devil wants you to feel ugly about yourself because that's how he feels about himself, he is a bully, he wants others to feel bad for his mishap so he antagonizes people with negative thoughts so that they can change the natural way that God has created them, he is doing this because he wants the souls of many to perish in Hell. Don't follow that bandwagon, keep this in mind after you die where you will be is for eternity! The skin that God will give his saints will be far more beautiful than any skin you will ever see in this world, because everything is Heaven is living, why give up your heavenly skin, for skin that is dead!
don't you know that human skin is dead skin, after God pronounced to man that he will surely die that was the day that everything died! your skin even your hair its all dead hair that was pushed up from the dermis layer of the hair follicle . So why would you want to lose your Heavenly skin because you want to preserve your earthly skin that will one day die and be food for maggots to eat!
It isn't worth it!
May I inform you that if you don't meet God's standards you will never go to his Kingdom, some people have this perception that going to Heaven is soooo Easy, who lied to you ?
look at what the scripture says in :
MATTHEW 7:14
But the gate is narrow and the way is difficult that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
so the way to Heaven is narrow, have you ever driven on a narrow road?, it's very difficult so imagine the christian race, in a narrow road it's even harder but it's not impossible, you have to strive in Holiness because only a few will make it to Heaven.
If you don't qualify God will not let you in and I can guarantee you this, anyone who bleaches their skin, bleaches somebody else's skin that is ( you sell, give, apply bleaching products to people to use) my wonderful reader you will NEVER enter into the kingdom of God , why you say such a condemning statement? because you possess a property that belongs to Satan, Heaven is a holy place and will not accept anything unclean or unholy, secondly you have told your creator that the way he created you was not "good" enough, another reason is because it is a form of lying because you know that , that is not your original color, you are lying to yourself by bleaching your skin ( liars have their portion in the lake of fire).
Indeed the scripture is saying the truth when we commit one sin we are guilty of all! (James 2:10)
So what is my main point if you are bleaching I just want to say that you are beautiful/handsome the way God naturally created you so you don't need to change that ! Invest that money that you are using to bleach your skin to do the work of God instead. God is in need of workers, come out of bleaching and do the work of God.
