COPIED
your body“Mehn, see that babe. See the way she take set. She package everything wella”. “Any guy that sees me would find me irresistible to sight. I’ll use what I have to get what I want”. “Guy, I no send anybody, na me get my body. I go do anything I like on top am. Mind your business o!” The human body is a container housing his soul and spirit. Some people are tall, short, fat or slim. What matters to man doesn’t matter to God. The sizes, color and shapes of the body differs but what matter most is the condition of the spirit and soul both here and hereafter.
Do you know that your body doesn’t belong to you? God created it and your works in the body would determine the kind of judgment you’ll receive. He wants you to glorify Him in your body rather than making your body the temple of idols. However, your body becomes the temple of idol when you use it for the following.
1. Sex object
Some people use their bodies to get what they want and they’re really facing it real hard while some would still face it in future.
When you prove love on a platform of sex, then you’re a sex object. Allowing someone who’s not your spouse to fondle, caress and do all sort of sexual plays with your body is an indication that you’re a sex object.
Sex isn’t love. Fornication is a sin against your own body apart from the fact that God hates it. Your spirit becomes vulnerable to demonic attacks when you allow your body to be used as a temple of idol. That you’ll be married is not a legal tender to commit immoralities.
2. Cosmetics
Taking care of the body is good but it becomes worse when it’s overly excessive. Why should you enhance the beauty that God has created? Many ladies had turn themselves to ‘walking idols’ all in the name of make up.
The word ‘cosmetic’ is a Greek word ‘kosmos’ meaning “Of this world, worldy”. It has its root traceable to Egyptian culture and it’s evident in the use of eye makeup and aromatic ointments found in their tomb.
cosmeticsIt amazes me to see Christians too who are meant to be heaven-bound to be using cosmetics. If you know where you’re going as a believer, caring excessively for your body will not be your paramount aim because your body will return back to dust. Why should you become obsessed with the use of cosmetics and lose your eternal bliss?
Make up is telling God He didn’t create you well and that you’re not beautifully and wonderfully made. The use of artificial eye brow, eye lash, eye liners and other make up items is trying to recreate yourself because you’re not pleased with the way God created you.
Adorning your bodies with all these artificial items doesn’t make you look anyhow better before God when your spirit and soul is full of evil. Apostle Peter said your adornment should be of a meek and quiet spirit, not the outward.
3. Worldly dressing
Everything man does has its origin and culture. The world has its own traditions while I’m fully sure that there’s a culture too in Heaven.
cleavage Just as there’s a god in charge of wealth, Mammon, there’s also a god in charge of worldly dressing. Semiramis is known as the mother of all harlots. She used makeup, as well as suggestive whorish clothing, for various religious and sexual rituals. Many who adopted nude dressing or tight-fitting clothes took semblance with her pattern of dressing.
Should you dress to please self, men or God? Consider the one who created you and the fate of your life after your demise.
4. Hair extensions
In a bid to beautify, lengthen and improve the color of the hair, several synthetic or fiber products have been introduced to enhance the look of the hair.
Lots of females and males had distorted their natural hair in other to look ‘good’ to the world. Several patterns, styles and colors has been used to make the hair look better than how He created it. Many even go the length of spending their fortune on hair extensions. Would any of these make you better than how God made you?
5. Alteration of the skin
Looking good has drove many people into the bleaching of their skin, body tattooing, piercing and mutilation.
body tattooChemicals has been introduced to change the tone and complexion of the skin. Apart from the effect which these chemicals has, the skin ages faster and in old age, the skin looks poor.
Why should you spend so much on your body to look so good when your spirit and soul will become miserable in eternity? Don’t spend your fortune on your body that will return to dust and you in turn become unfortunate in the life hereafter.
God cannot reside in your body when at the same time it’s a temple of idols. You cannot be a genuine child of God and your body will be a temple of idols.
When you make your body the temple of idols, automatically the gods in charge of what you idolize would dominate your spirit and soul. For instance, making it a temple of sexual immoralities would invite the demons in charge. You’re not a shrine, why should you adorn yourself with superficial items when you have a natural beauty?
Your body becomes God’s temple when you live to please God, not self, men or the world and a temple for idols when you adapt your body to the culture of the world. Do not yield your body members as an instrument of unrighteousness to sin and the lust of the world.
Remember, you will give account of what you did with your body.
