Food for thought.

"I want a Tall, dark, handsome, pretty, hardworking, caring kinda person, rich, romantic, blablabla guy/lady and most especially, he/she has to be God-fearing". These are some the attributes we tend to use to describe our supposed spouse (yours truly included) but the question is, who is a God-fearing person? Does going to church every Sunday and midweeks services make me God-fearing? On the other hand, not going to church, does it make me less God-fearing?
While conversing with a friend recently, this question actually came up and believe me, the description tastes better in your tongue than when you are put in the spot to really explain what you meant by "God-fearing".
So I think it should be a thing of the mind. You serve God in truth and in spirit, and you going to church doesn't necessarily make you God-fearing. Most of the things we see, the scandals we hear that happens in churches of late aint encouraging at all. 

Some-people now term church as a business and money-making machine, one of d highest paid businesses of our time, I shiver whenever I hear things like this. Please don't misquote me, I'm not saying anybody shouldn't go to church, I do too. But ask yourself, does going to church alone really make you God-fearing? Aint there some other traits to cap it up?

So be wise when making your choices, cos there are also wolves in sheep clothings. I heard of a guy that went as far as pretending to be a strong believer, participating in church activities and all, just to get a lady he desired, and once he got what he wanted, fiam, he disappeared like the speed of light. That's how far people can go to deceive other people. Let's all be wise.
So what's your own definition of God-fearing? especially in the case of the "spouse description". Let's chat friends.

  1. For me, a man who has a balanced spiritual & social life will do. If he goes to church on Sundays, prays in the morning & night and has a good heart, im fine. I dont need a pastor biko. *hehehehe

  5. God Wil see us through. Finding a good partner isn't such an easy thing anymore. A lot of people mask their true intentions. Love has to be accompanied by common sense these days.

  7. Bottom line when you find that brother that you think is God fearing, you still need to go to your closet, go on ur knees and ask God whether he is for real. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship between you and your creator
