BENEATH THE MASK
Being a Nigeria boy and
proud to be African, isn’t that wonderful! What a privilege to be from this
part of His wonderful creation, I shout for joy: I AM AN AFRICAN FROM NIGERIA
SOIL, HALLELUJAH!!! What is this noise is all about? Hearing the history of my
family I was told we were the family that held the position of “monk” of
masquerade shrine in our community, but blessed be the name of the Lord who
translated us from the lineage of idolatry into the kingdom of light-of His
dear Son Jesus Christ-ages ago even before I was born, hallelujah! I see those
masqueraders and idolaters today and I pity them: what a self inflicting
punishment? They should have opportunity to ask my fore-father; why they
repented?
The issue of mask is
critical to most idolatry that is why I considered the worshipers cowards, even
the devils are cowards that is why they attack mostly at night. The people who
desired hiding their (physical) identity are cowards, pretentious and of low or
no self-esteem, such people are threat to and in purpose driven relationships.
Have ever wonder why many marriages are chaos today? It was because they were
both clowned and are now ashamed, regretted and uncomfortable of each other
originality-many covered sins, issues and secrets are blown open.
Now the man and his wife were
both naked, but they felt no shame Gen. 2:25 (NLT). Sometime
ago you’ve been taken by your parents to an herbalist for spiritual
consultation. You were initiated into occult to fortify yourself. You have a
serious predicament in your family lineage which usually reoccurs. Today you
may be attractive under those make-ups and packages of decorations, which make
you, look “a beautiful clown!” Today you have impressed him/her with your
captivating false story! Evil genius! An innocent guy, you told him “am still
virgin” and you planned to plant fake-blood under the bedcover so that it’ll be
busted to affirm your false virginity. What a good packaging of a millionaire
daughter or son where as your parents are wretched and stinking poor. You knew
that certificate in your hand is “Toronto certificate”-fake!
Come back home, beloved!
You had a baby sometime ago-dead or alive-you kept the secret. What are your
weaknesses which you are keeping as a secret, those sad occurrences you think
you can never discuss them-they are horrible-it is your TOP LEVEL SECRET! My
dearest! You have to discuss both shameful and glorious issues of your life,
especially those inglorious ones before they (you past) start to paint you
black.
Have you being parading
yourself like masquerade at the sight of your spouse? You are who you, do not
allow your past misconducts and/or persistent secrets destroy your present and
future joy. Oh! I can hear your heart beats saying “he’s gonna leave me!” “She’ll
love me no more!” Beloved! Let him know you in and out, give her the whole
picture of who you are then you will know if he /she is really meant for you!
A masked life-style will
turn to miserable destiny!!!
