“I need to shake a particular table tonight, if not, I won’t sleep well. SO I heard the gist about Linda Ikeji getting pregnant and all and that’s really her business, I mean, in this generation of baby mamas getting pregnant out of wedlock is now something we celebrate and even buy aso-ebi for. But thats not what I’m talking about tonight. It’s really her life at the end of it, she’d stand before God, not me. But what’s burnig my soul right now is this her response that I just saw on her page…so you preach celibacy and millions of people follow you to practice celibacy, then you get pregnant and now come to say you Never said do not have sex before marriage, only have sex when you meet someone you love and loves you back. SERIOUSLY???? I’m lost here!

So I meet someone I love and have sex, years down the line, it doesn’t work out, I meet another person I love and loves me back and we have sex…six months later we break up and I meet another person I love and the cycle continues…Is this what celibacy s all about??? What sort of double standard preaching is that??? Following a cause only when it’s convenient….Preaching something and not practicing it….And I see the comments and I’m SHOCKED at people I expect to know better congratulating her and clapping for her over the rubbish she’s saying, leading young girls straight to hell….I’m so vexed in my spirit right now…

Linda Ikeji is not God and God has not changed His laws to suit our generation. FLEEING from sexual immorality hasn’t been deleted from the bible and it won’t be now that Linda is pregnant! DO NOT HAVE SEX UNTIL MARRIAGE!! SEX SHOULD ONLY HAPPEN IN MARRIAGE!! I don’t care how many billions Linda is worth, having billions of money does not equate success in God’s kingdom, so if she likes she should buy the entire Banana Island, good for her…What is wrong is wrong, let’s stop celebrating rubbish and nonsense because someone is ‘successful’ and we clap at every rubbish she churns out while an entire generation of young ladies are being led straight to destruction. And if we Christians won’t talk about these things, then what’s the point of our Christianity???”  Funto Ibuoye.

Thanks Funto.

You know, when you put it like that, I laugh. The truth is, the world today is changing at a pace that is unprecedented. We are constantly tweaking and twisting terms to what favours and is comfortable with us. You may call it verbal engineering.

We have clever terminologies for what we consider convicting words. Old words become squashed of their collective impact. If it connotes something that clashes with our chosen lifestyle, we change the term to something that dodges our consciousness and sidesteps critical reflection.

Like graveyards changed to memorial parks. Pro-abortion folks would call themselves ‘pro-choice.’ Contraception sounds too strong, we call it Birth control. Fornication becomes ‘we’re just playing around’ or ‘we’re intimate’ or ‘we hooked up’ or ‘it was just a fling.’ ‘We committed adultery’ becomes ‘we had an affair’ or ‘it was just extramarital sex.’ The new terms numb the seriousness of the old. It deadens the power of it and plays down the weight of it. Anything that would take away the morality of the word to something less serious thwarting the sacredness of the terms is just fine with us. And verbal engineering always precedes social engineering.

We are in a relative world. Everything is relative. What righteousness means to me is different from what it means to you. What you term holiness may not be what I consider holiness. We define things the way it’s convenient and soothing to us. If the definition of the term does not sit well with us, we change it. It’s same reason why people choose churches that tell them what they like to hear. And with some funds they can even manipulate the pastor’s message since they are taking care of the bills. And God be with that pastor if he dares to be controversial with their set ways, they withdraw their support and pitch their tents elsewhere. It’s a relative generation. It’s a relative world. Holiness is relative. Abstinence is relative. And celibacy, yes, celibacy just took on a new meaning for Linda Ikeji.

Oh yes, I know, Linda never at any time came out to say she was/is born again. I know. But don’t come here and twist a sacred word just so it suits you and your lifestyle. It was celibacy before you got pregnant and now that you are pregnant you redefine it? Come on! Even if you have funds enough to rewrite the dictionary, celibacy would still not lose its power. If you couldn’t practice self-restraint, simply admit it, don’t turn celibacy to what it isn’t.

Funto, our challenge today is how do we preach the Gospel to a VUCA world? (VUCA – Volatile Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous, of general conditions and situations.) How do we convince this generation that thrives on new experiences that the standards of God remains sure. We are that generation that promotes Humanism. That’s why we applaud and celebrate premarital sex, eulogize Babymamas, admire lesbianism, and venerate transgenderism because humanism is a democratic and the ethical life stance that affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. And Linda Ikeji sits pretty atop that ladder. Wrong is really no longer wrong. It’s subjective.

How do we preach the Unchanging Gospel in a changing world? Back in the days of Jesus, the people were expecting the Messiah, their issue was not if he was coming, it was if He was truly Him. They knew the Messiah was coming, they were expecting. Today, we are not. So, how do we communicate Christ to a world that is not expecting Him, a world that believes they don’t even need Him, a world totally oblivious and humanistic? It explains why a piece like yours above would probably garner you more enemies than friends. Why? Because who are you to question the trend? Who are you to shake this table? But, regardless of how tiny your voice may seem amidst the noisy negatives it is still a voice and it sure is resounding. Truth will always be truth no matter whose ox is gored. Your Lord Christ was way more controversial, whose daughter would you be if you are not? You have put it out there, so let it stay out there. Let gullible followers take lessons, let the blind leading the blind take note.

And to anyone who says, ‘Don’t judge someone else because they sin differently from you’ I understand your situation, It’s really hard to get the big picture when you have such a small screen. And I’m busy now, allow me ignore you some other time.
