COURTSHIP MATTER

WRONG MOTIVES!

"Wow! I am glad you put on the bra I bought for you?" he said smiling as he fixed his gaze on his fiancee's chest. "What do you mean by that? Did you put a sign on it" she asked frowning He sauntered towards her "okay, let me see it" he said as he stretches his hand to open her blouse "Are you alright?" she asked as she pushed him and he sprawled on the floor "Haaha! Why did you push me like that? You are too harsh!" he said fuming as he stands up "You expected me to be laughing while you press me like a keyboard, right?" "Your mind is dirty. What is wrong in appreciating and admiring the beauty of a gift given to my fiancee? Why did you collect it when you know I wouldn't be allowed to see it?" he asked shrugging his shoulder "If I knew you have a wrong motive for giving me the gift, I would have returned it the moment I discovered it was underwear. I thought it was out of love, I didn't know it was out of lust" she said angrily "For your information, I can never allow you to see my underwears until we are married. That is how they start, from admiring to another thing" she mumbled "Okay, I am sorry. I wouldn't pass my boundary at another time" "Better! I am sorry too" smiles. "You can admire the outside not the inside at all, that is not allowed for now" she said outrightly. "But I didn't intend to push you down o, I was surprised when you fell down like a feather," she said jokingly "You are making jest of me, right? It is not your fault nah" he said as they leave his apartment Brothers/ Sisters, Is the motive behind the gift you gave or giving to your partner right? There is nothing bad in presenting gifts, especially underwear to your partner but doing it with evil intentions is wrong. That is what Yoruba calls "Onibara n bole e bo, Saara ntori Olohun ntoju bole" 😃. Don't give a gift in exchange for sex or allow immoral thought in your courtship. Sisters, if you discovered your partner is passing his boundary, take defensive actions. Don't keep quiet or start laughing like laughing gas. "You don't keep quiet, where your destiny is being decided" let the brother know his boundary if not he will take you for granted, use and dump you. Let courtship be known differently from marriage, both are for different purposes. Help your partner to abstain from sex, don't be the reason for his falling to the sin of fornication. Be careful of what you put on. Avoid wearing transparent dresses or anything that could lure him to having sex with you. Don't be a stumbling block or hindrance in his way (Rom 14:13) Be patient till you are married, then you can put on sexy clothes for him only. Be conscious of the presence of the Spirit of God which supersede the presence of any elder while you are meeting with your partner. Let your courtship glorify God. Don't build your home on a wrong foundation. God knows your thought and your plans, therefore ensure you do everything to please Him. Avoid internet sex and masturbation, they destroy destinies. I pray the Lord who is able to keep you from falling will continue to guide you in Jesus name. Shalom But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Rev 21:8)
