Marriage and the Society

God designed marriage to be the basis of the human society. After God destroyed the first world, the antediluvian world in Genesis 9:17-19, He was telling Noah to repopulate the world. It is the proper way for man to multiply. Marriage is very necessary. We don't want single parenthood. If you want to be a mother, stick to your husband. If you want to be a father, stick to your wife. Not that you just get children anyhow; the man goes his way and the woman goes her way. It is ungodly to just get children any how as if you were a goat. Unfortunately, in some parts of our society, there are street children constituting a social nuisance and a lot of social hazard, many of them becoming hardened criminals. They don't make our environment friendly at all. That is not God's will for man. If you become a single parent, you create problems for yourself and others. A child needs the tutelage of the father and the mother to have a balanced development. If it pleases God to call the father or mother away, God knows how to fill the gap. People who do single parenthood promote immoral practices in the society.

Are you in school and some unserious boys have started writing letters to you-whether through the social media or other means? Young boys who ought to know what they have been sent to school to achieve. Boys who ought to be focused on their relationship with God that God may perfect their ways and build them solid future but who are negligent about tomorrow. Although such young boys may run to God when examination beckons, they can only have marginal passes while those that face their education would come out with resounding success. My young girl, never you listen to such mockers. They tell you, I love you,' but deep inside them what they mean is, 'I lust after you.!'They are devil's disciples; they have nothing good for you. They are spoilers; run away from them.

If you give yourself to him and you get an unwanted pregnancy, the boy would turn around to say he does not know you. He would deny the period he was calling you 'Sugar, honey, tomato.'Why did he not call you onions? So that you pepper his eyes! Why did he not call you pepper, so that you pepper his eyes, so he would come to his senses? Be a pepper to such a boy so that when he comes near you, you hurt him. If he tries to put his hand round you, fling it. If he does not yield, use reasonable force to push him away and run away to safety. He will not come near you again. If you do not use your senses, that boy would put you in the family way, while you will be redundant at home looking after a baby when he would have continued with his education. Truth is, the boy who committed the havoc will not go free because “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished” (Proverbs 11:21). Our children should have this education so they do not commit errors.

If you live a Christian life, study when you ought to study, graduate and God provides you a good job, by the time you want to marry, everyone would congratulate you. Eminent people would congratulate you and offer you space for honeymoon in their mansions. But if you cheapen yourself, you make yourself worthless, everybody would despise you. Most people want to identify with a successful person. Nothing succeeds like success.
