GAY MARRIAGE & GOD’S PURPOSE FOR MARRIAGE:

There is a popular saying that says “when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse becomes inevitable.” Let me start what I’m about writing with like this. To me the argument on gay marriage should not have come up at all if we really understand the purpose of marriage. As a Bible Student and teacher the Bible told us some of the purposes of marriage.

The two major reasons for marriage is

1; - COMPANIONSHIP: Genesis 2:18 “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” God saw that the man needed a person by his side. Animals and trees are not enough. Therefore God gave him a friend and companion, some of his own kind. Few months ago on twitter it was a serious discussion and war of words between my humble self and some gays. One of the gays said that, we all have freedom of association, there is no way someone will tell him who should be his companion and I laughed because man & woman relationship goes beyond companionship.

The reason why sex outside marriage is a great sin is because people enter into blood covenant they are not ready to maintain. If man and woman relationship is just about companionship, it means that many boys & girls will be living together. The argument will be; after all he/she is the person I want around me at this point in time. (This is a talk for another day.)

As an Igbo this statement “mother of my child or father of my child” is alien to our culture. What is known to my culture and ancestors is “my wife or my husband.” Igbo men & women are proud & always want to showcase their husband or their wife. (This is the only reason why teenage pregnancy is minimal in Igbo land. Children outside wedlock or conventional family has a serious societal stigma both for the parents & the child.) The Western nations especially USA has so much bastardized MARRIAGE UNION with their unending divorce spree. That is why someone can addressed as mother of someone’s child(ren)without the person necessarily being the wife of the man. So man & woman living together is God’s design. It is what God prescribed. But living as husband & wife. God does not and did not design man & man marriage or woman & woman marriage.

2;-PROCREATION: Genesis 1:26-28 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”

It very important for us to understand that God wants men and women to live together and reproduce so that the earth will not lack human beings. Because these are what formed the basis of family and the reason why gay marriage and relationship is anti God and anti nature. Remember that prior to the creation of man God has already commanded all the animals He created to multiply and replenish the earth.

Even when God created animals most of them are created male & female. When God told Noah to take animals into the boat he built, He (God) told him to take them male & female. So if God wants male and female to reproduce where does man and man or woman and woman marriage relationship come from?

It is the devil’s plan to keep man in perpetual bondage. The devil wants to make people live in sin and with a seared conscience. Because people of today worship the devil in so many ways God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women & men did change the natural use of their body into that which is against nature & God.” (Romans 1:26) (Emphasis added by me.)

God wants to have many people live in this world and am so sure that if gay marriage were to be the order of the day before now, the world would not have up to 7billion persons. Gay relationship is taking people lower than the dogs which are considered the dirtiest when it comes to sex.  

 Jesus Christ died to set sinners free. Therefore if you are living in bondage of same sex sexual relationship come to Jesus Christ now and He will forgive you and guide you on how to lead a more better life. A life your family and children born or unborn will be proud of.

Same sex sexual relationship is a serious heavy load but Jesus Christ says “come unto me all you that labour and heavy laden.” Jesus Christ is ready to guide you out of that evil. Thank you.

NIGERIA: GAY MARRIAGE & HUMAN RIGHT BRUHAHA…

I have been thinking about the noise USA and Canada are making concerning this gay issue. It is very unfortunate how these countries still consider us their colonies. They are seeing themselves as our perpetual colonial masters. They don’t want us to make our decisions on issues that concern us based on our cultural values and principles. It hurts me that Ugandan president is today being held captive by these people. They have turned him into a puppy that is why he stopped signing anti gay law in Uganda.

What have been forming headlines all over the world today is Nigeria’s anti gay law. This anti gay law has shown me that everybody in this world can interpret Nigeria’s constitution. I have been reading what some world leaders are saying and I have also been laughing because they all want Nigeria to reverse the law to favour their in human life style.  They are all saying that they are disappointed with President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan {GEJ}. Why wouldn’t they be discouraged? They should be because they thought that GEJ will be like Ugandan president who they have turned into a “mumu.” Many people think that GEJ is someone that dances to every kind of music. But GEJ has once again shown to me and prove to the whole world that he is not a man to be toyed with.  All thanks to God for giving Goodluck Jonathan the courage to overlook Barrack Obama, David Cameron, Banki Moon or what is he called (UN Secretary General)

Americans should know that we are Africans and we have our values and standard. I am happy that white men helped us to remove some of the evil practices but removing one evil practice and introducing another evil practice is an error. There is a saying in Igbo land that says “onye lere enwe ma ga zuta nkita n’ihe ntukwu ka no na be ya” (the person that sold a monkey then buys dog, something that sits is still in his house). It is abomination in our soil for a man to marry a man. Let me even ask us… if a man marries a man and they adopts a baby…how will the baby introduce them to his friends? If a Lady marries a lady and they adopt a baby how will that baby also introduce then to his friends? Funny…

HUMAN RIGHT VIOLATION: It is funny how all these men who want us to do what animals do not do are basing their argument on human right violation. What sort of human right violation is it? What is the definition of human right violation to these people? They all want us to play their games, dance their music as if we don’t have the mind of our own. For the fact that we Africans are looking up to the west for some enlightenment that does not mean that we have forgotten our roots. We have culture and value system. As I wrote earlier on; I so much appreciate these westerners for helping us to stop the killing of twins, human sacrifice etc.

But they should not expect us to live below animals. It is a known fact that male dog does not & cannot have sex with another male dog, likewise goats. We African are predominantly farmers therefore we understood all these things. How can we then knowing all these subject ourselves to same sex sexual relationship. In #Igbo land where I come from it is called “alu” (abomination).

Same sex sexual relationship is actually the real HUMAN RIGHT VIOLATION. Let me say this again. Same sex sexual relationship is abusing ones human right. Your right as a man is for your wife to satisfy you sexually and the right of the woman is for the husband to satisfy her sexual urge. Therefore for another man to burst another man’s anus and make him to wear adult diaper is human right abuse. For a girl to raise another girls sexual feeling and use object other than penis to make her reach orgasm is abusing the girl’s right. Let us stop this foolishness from the west.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

At the beginning of every year many people go into making decisions that is popularly known as NEW YEAR RESOLUTION. To me it is a good thing to do, however it is just very few that has been able to maintain it up to 60% by the end of the year. The reason why many fail to maintain it can be traced to their inability to fully come to terms with the real meaning of what they have gotten themselves into.

WHAT IS RESOLUTION?

Let me say that it means “a self improvement goal one sets for himself or herself.” Or “a personal pledge one makes to himself or herself.” Or “intention to overcome old habits and create ones.” The meaning of resolution is not limited to these ones I mentioned here; you can also add your.

LET US START WITH THIS:

“a self improvement goal one sets for himself or herself.” If one truly understands that New Year resolution is or should be a “a self improvement goal” that person wont just go into it in passively. It is because many people think it is just one of those things one does or says at the beginning of the New Year that is why many falter even before the end of January.

Sometimes why many fail with this activity is because they fail to know or understand that this is a personal thing. “A personal pledge one makes to himself or herself.” A pledge you made to yourself. It is not a community or a collective affair. It is all about bringing out the best in your individual personality. Because it is personal you should not expect your friends and everybody around you to be in support or to take part in it. You need the support of other humans to make progress but you should allow their actions or reactions to be the determining factor. The final choice and decision is all boiled down to your ability to maintain and keep the ship of the pledge afloat.

Because it is “intention to overcome old habits and create ones” there will be casualties. Many friends and even family members will lose their place in your life and activity. It is absolutely impossible for someone to do same thing at all times and expect a different result. Therefore, if a new habit would formed some people in your life must be dropped. Some are to be dropped permanently while others are for some time. New people are also going to be allowed into your life to help you to get to where you intended going to.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTION:

1.       WRITE IT DOWN, MAKE IT BOLD:- The first thing you must do is to write it down, make it bold and keep it where you will always see it. Writing it now will help you not to forget exactly what your decisions are. Making it bold and keeping it where you will always see it means you will constantly be in tune with it. Seeing it every day will keep it alive in your memory. Every day while going out or coming in, you are having contact with your decision and that will become a driver that drives you. Because it will mean that you will not easily forget them.

2.       TELL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS & YOUR MENTOR:- It is a known fact that “what only one person knows is as good as not existing.” If you are the only person that knows about your new decisions you might not be able to maintain it because after all you are not accountable to anyone else. But knowing that you are accountable to other people even though it is for your own good will make you to try to keep to your decision. In life because we don’t want to lose the trust some people have for us always help us in doing the right thing. If you check well you will discover that people who always claim that it is their lives and they have to live it the way they wish always end up with so many regrets. Never forget that we all need someone to watch our backs at all time.

3.       ANYTIME YOU FAIL, TAKE RESPONSIBILTY & START ALL OVER AGAIN:- Telling you that you won’t fail sometime is a very big lie. In your journey to become a better you, there will always be ups and downs. But your ability to stay afloat is all dependent on how much you can be able to stand up and take responsibility for your mistake without apportioning blame to any one at all. Even if it is someone that made you to fall, do not blame the person. Because somehow the decision to fall was made by you. The said person didn’t force you, even if he/she forced you; the final decision is still with you. Therefore blame yourself, progress into forgiving yourself then move on with your life. Don’t allow yourself to be help down by guilt because if you do, that guilt will drag you back into your vomit many times you will get into deeper shit. What makes one a weak person is not because he or she fell but what happens after the fall. If you fall and stay down then you are weak but if you fall and stand up again to continue your life’s journey trust me, you are very strong person.

4.       IF IT IS ABOUT HABIT, DISENGAGE YOURSELF:- For you to stay away from bad habits and build a new a new one, you have to disengage yourself from some of your old friends. Those friends or people that lead or encourage you into error must be avoided. If it has to do with where or on what you spend your time, then you have to stop going there or doing that thing. If it is TV, Phone, Computer, Club, Bar, name it, and get yourself out of them. If it is a relationship, break up and get up. For you to move forward just know that some things and people must find their way out of your life.

5.       GET GOD INVOLVED:- The Bible says in 1 Samuel 2:9  “He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.” God is the one that will help and empower you to be able to do those things you have chosen to do. Ask God’s Holy Spirit to come and guide you. Jesus Christ told his disciples in Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” The Holy Spirit is the person that will give you power to do. Because it is when you can do that you can also talk about telling others how you were able to make it till December 2014. Don’t run this race alone. Don’t go on this journey without God this year. God said in the Bible book of Jeremiah 29:12 “Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.” God is ready to hear what you want to say to HIM. Come to Him today even it is with sins, He is ready to forgive you.

Thank you and God bless you…

DEAR FRIEND SEE YOU IN DECEMBER 2014 ON TOP OF YOU GAME…LOVE YOU DEARLY…
