“Sponsor” talks are making rounds on social media like a
blazing Australian forest fire!!
Most folks are busy siring opinions on what’s right and what’s
wrong: On what’s the moral. And a good percentage of that gang want their
opinion to receive the seal of “the most right opinion of the discussion”.
I hear them! I even see them! I mostly see how they are quick
to judge these women for sinning differently from them…smh!
I didn’t want to react….buuuuuuuttttttttt, who am I to
resist??
So here I am, I’ll share my two cents…
As humans we were given the ability to choose whatever we
want to do with our lives. 1 Corinthians
10:23 says that “Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable.
Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.” Our choices,
independent of what has influenced them, are entirely ours to make. Independent
of who gets affected, for as long as it is in line with the law of the land in
which you call yourself a citizen, it is for us to decide what works for us. KEEPING IN MIND THAT NOT EVERYTHING IS
EVENTUALLY PROFITABLE, and therefore this means that we eventually have to live with the consequences of our choices.
If one chooses to have a sponsor, by all means they should
do it big and thrive while at it.
If one chooses to remain celibate, let nothing hold them
back.
If being gay is your most desired sexual preference, then by
all means seek thee he or she that has the same interest and enjoy the boat
ride.
Whichever way we choose to please ourselves sexually, for as
long as the LAW OF THE LAND PERMITS,
and the FAITH YOU SUBSCRIBE TO ALLOWS IT,
then let not the voices of anyone outside your system stop you.
Most of us want those existing in the earth’s ecosystem to
do as our core believes would have us do. We want other people to behave as our
conscience, preference, and even choices would have us do.
But really, they are entitled to the same freewill given
unto us. We speak against other people trying to impose their faith and beliefs
on us, especially us Christians, but we’re in most cases the first to impose
what we think is right on others. WHY DON’T WE LEAD BY
LIVING CHRIST-LIKE LIVES THROUGH OUR ACTIONS BEFORE MAKING OUR OPINIONS ON
OTHER PEOPLE’S CHOICES?
It is not a lack of love, to allow people, even those
closest to us, to do as they please. It is actually the greatest sense of love
to accept them as they are. We should instead caution them on the consequences
of their actions, aggressively share why they should choose otherwise
(according to our sense of wisdom), preach to them what we believe is the
TRUTH, BUT STILL ACCEPT THEM AS THEY ARE.
What is defined as the lack of love is to do nothing about
their choices. SILENCE IS HATRED!
Not being silent however does not translate to condemnation.
Condemnation has never been the way to reverse another person’s choices.

So, if a lady chooses to have a sponsor, if you know her and
don’t agree with her choices, and YOU’RE
TRUE TO THEM (leave alone these social media humans filled with self-righteousness
and bile over what does not suit their beliefs), then with love strongly
caution them on why they shouldn’t pursue that path.
What I should add though is that we live in a world where
one man’s meat is another’s poison.
Just as you’re ready to caution, be ready to get cautioned
over your own choices; even those you believe in strongest!
