Tife’s Chronicles

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 A few weeks ago, as always, a conversation broke out on X, formerly Twitter, about dating or marrying a person of another faith, as a Christian. This conversation, while necessary, has/is/and will always be an indictment on our churches and religious leaders, in this case, pastors and parents, because this should be something your daddy, mummy and Sunday school teacher should explain why the bible says you shouldn’t be unequally yoked in marriage. you don’t know keh?? source: tenor                                     Proverbs 22:6 – “ Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it. ” The first argument against unequal yokes is the difference in religious convictions and systems.

Wrote this piece 22nd of December, 2023 Hi It’s been a long time since you last saw me, no vex, I went to receive “Abido Shaker” from Odumeje.  Actually, that was a lie, life has been showing me 70 positions in less than 7 minutes.
