A CONTENDER OR A PRETENDER? ....Earnestly CONTEND for the FAITH which was once delivered unto the SAINTS Jude 1:3. The Christian faith we profess and practice was handed down to us by Saints who paid prices and made sacrifices to preserve the faith and we are to follow their examples. Sincerely, as iniquity increases, religion multiplies & we approach the end of the age, the challenges of standing for the truth heightens, but God's grace is ever sufficient for the uncompromising. Our belief in Christ is constantly under test and threats at various levels & junctions of our lives. Trials, temptations and persecutions comes to test our conviction in God, but unfortunately many BELIEVERS have failed God. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego stood for their faith even when other Jews bowed to the idol of the king. Daniel also disregarded the laws of the land to maintain his communion & fellowship with God. History was made in Nigeria on March 8, 2013 when a diehard Christian sister Tolu Ekundayo, Batch A, corps member was decamped by the NYSC, Ogun State for refusing to wear trousers (The scheme's Government approved dress kits). Though she was asked to leave the orientation camp at about 11:00PM (Midnight) by the state coordinator, she held on to her conviction. She later explained that her action was not in disobedience to the NYSC authorities, but in line with her belief and faith in God. You may call her a religious extremist, but heaven calls her one of the heroes of faith. She made history for Jesus in this country. If your conviction on Deut. 22:5 is strong, why did you agree with the NYSC dress code? Why not exempt yourself from the scheme? Does your destiny depend on the certificate? If the Rapture had taken place within your service year, would you have made it? How is your conscience when you wear the trousers and training shorts as a holiness sister? Sis. Christian Uzoukwu who is a current serving Corp member using SKIRT has accused Christian sisters of denying God in the name of obeying man. The way many so call holiness sisters poses to take photographs with the NYSC kits, shows they've been longing for it. We no longer have the moral ground to criticize and condemn churches and other sisters WHO wear trousers and bomb shorts, because you wore them during service. Stand for what you believe to be the gospel truth! Don't be a hypocrite! Ucenter Dress vintage inspire wedding garments retro style
