Valentine or Violent-Time (Part 3)


Over the years, some religious folks have defined and classified February 14 as the devil's day. They argue that the Valentine was not a Saint, and even if he was, it was not proper to keep a day to remember him.

By God's grace, I have subjected myself to regular study of the scriptures and godly books in several libraries especially the e-libraries. My philosophy has been guided by the knowledge acquired from comparative and HOLYGHOST inspired study.

If God is not against Christmas, and Easter, then why should He be against Valentine's Day? Many of us have known so much that we have created our own "Newer Testament" after the new testament of the Holy Bible.

Is God against celebrations? Definitely, No! Jesus visited a wedding in Cana, he was at most Jewish feasts, and He organized a feast by feeding, on one occasion, 5,000 men. Our God loves feasting. He loves to see us celebrate. But all feastings must be done in Holiness in order to be approved by God (Lev. 23:2,4,44, Isa 25:6). The book of Revelation 19:9 tells us that there would be a marriage feasting in Heaven with all the saints (bride) 

Valentine day, like every other remarkable day, is a day set aside to show love. It is a day that reminds us what true love should be. Conversely, the definition of love has been twisted to suit people's greed and selfishness. So, instead of Valentine, we are celebrating Violent-time.

In the real Christian sense, no special day is needed to remind us of LOVE. The Christian faith buttress on Love and nothing else. Jesus was sent into the world to redeem us from death because of Love. God made man because of love. God is God because of love. Nothing exists and nothing will without God's love. God is Love personified (1John 4:8). So if Valentine day is a day set aside to remind us of love(God), we ought to celebrate love(God) in Holiness.
So now, if I may ask, are you celebrating Valentine or Violent-time?

What is Violent-time about?
Like I have written in my previous articles (both in 2016, and 2017), Violent-time is the opposite of Valentine. The world has turned a very good day to a day full of atrocities and ungodliness. Valentine has been christened as, “Violent-time” through people’s actions. Ironically, they jump around claiming to celebrate valentine.

February 14, has become a day where hotels become overbooked and many guest house tend to have a higher turnover because of the flood of youth patronizing their services. Many young girls who have been preserving their dignity (virginity) will lose it today. Many others will become pregnant and lose their stand in life. While few unlucky others will become damned from the shackles of abortion either through death or from destruction of their womb. Life will become violent to these folks all because of Valentine, I mean Violent-time.

Violent-time is also the day when destinies will be stolen by the devil: forbidden apples will become attractive and so enticing that women will eat and hand it over to their men. The married folks are not left out, as wives will pressurize husbands for gifts and an outing even though their present condition does not support that. The irresponsible husbands will be out there with strange women at different joints spending money that they have never given to their wives. Indeed, violent-time seems to take over Valentine.

Painfully, some folks will contract Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). Those who escape STDs will contract spirit husbands, spirit wives, and other demons that can cause failure and backwardness in life.

Celebrating Valentine is easier than Violent-time. Which do you prefer?

Valentine, on the other hand, is the day for us to be conscious of God’s loving-nature as our Father. It is a day we should ask God to rekindle His love in our hearts so that we can love in God’s kind (agape love). From first Corinthians 13, let me summarize what a true valentine love should possess:

Verse 1:           Love is not about too much speech. It is about deeds.
Verse 2:           Love is higher that prophecy, mysteries, knowledge and faith
Verse 3:           Love is higher than giving and sacrifice
Verse 4:           Love is kind, humble, and patient
Verse 5:           Love acts without evil, selfless and straight forward
Verse 6:           Love hates sin and is full of truth
Verse 7:           Love bears, hopes, endures and believes
Verse 8:           Love never fails even when other fails

If your valentine love does not contain these, then you might have celebrated Violent-time! Praise God for His redemption grace, you can be better. You can retrace your steps. You can be forgiven!
Next time, celebrate Valentine and not Violent-time.

Fulfilling Christmas?

T oday is December 25 th , the long-awaited Christmas day. A day where everyone rejoices and celebrate in unison. There had not been any day like this where the whole world, whether Greek or Jew, white or black, Muslim or Christian, celebrate in unity. Indeed, this must be a special day. The world as we know enjoy celebration even in the midst of suffering, greed, poverty, lack and high political and economic tension. On a day like this virtually everyone pretends all is well just to have a full grasp of the day. Yes. All is well but is all really well? On a day like this, I spend more time resonating about the 358days which has gone by. I realised that I have lost many friends, made new friends, attended funerals, attended naming ceremonies. I have seen terrible accidents and I have even been involved in some. But yet I am standing. Oh, I didn’t die? Yea. But why didn’t I die? Am I better than those who died or lost one part of their body? The answer is No! Life is all abo...
