2 Corinthians 6:17

Therefore, "Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."

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.

Train up a child in the way He should go

This is my topic for today, train up a child in the way he should go!
For some days now I went on facebook and saw a picture of someone who I have met before, this person is currently going to my former school in Nigeria, this is not to brag or to make boast or anything but I want you to understand where this is coming from.
She is one of the daughters to a very notable actress in Nigeria. Her pictures went viral and some people said she looks " sexy" and that she takes after her mother "like mother like daughter" "hot front and back" and all those types of words. She is only 14 years old, obviously any mother would be upset to see that their child's photo is going across the internet in that manner, but this leads back to my point.

Proverbs 22:6 says  "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it".


You cannot sow apples and expect to reap oranges, that can never happen no matter how much you pray, fast, sing praises and what have you. I don't know what to say because I went through this young lady's instagram and the pictures I saw .. you can only image what she will do when she becomes 18!
I don't blame this child that much I blame the mother, A woman of her caliber should have limits and boundaries especially when it comes to the social world. I am not judging her but based on her pictures a married woman like that should not have photos like that out there for men to salivate on. Being the role model that she is as the scriptures would say

Luke 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.


 When one is famous a lot is expected of you that is the truth. I am not happy that photos of her daughter would be classified with words like "sexy" and all of that but let us be sincere, you title yourself with the word "sexy" so why are you upset that people have classified your daughter in like manner?  that is the type of example you are setting for your children, that it's okay to be called sexy and to have men look at your backside and give all kinds of names about it. So as she blames the media she has herself to blame as well.  Please let us read our bible well , I am not judging her parenting skills neither am I criticizing her but I want to use this situation and bring it to our awareness

Proverbs 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Pray for these Celebrities

Happy New Year !
I know it's late but it's better late than never
anyways I know it's been a while since I last wrote something in this blog but something really saddened my heart this morning. I stumbled across some pictures of our very notable celebrities and it really saddened me a whole lot, it made me wonder Lord, if only this person will understand that fame and fortune is only for a while, but Heaven and Hell is forever and whether one believes it or not these are the two places that everyone will eventually be, because it is appointed for man to once but after this judgement                     (Hebrews 9:27).  I want to seize this opportunity to plead with you all to pray for these celebrities and ask God to open their eyes to see the deception that satan has placed in their lives.
