The Ifumi

Some say their Bible teaches them that monogamy or one man:one wife, is only for church leaders and not necessarily for other Christians. That is their understanding o, of what is written in where is that place again sef?🤔 Ehen! 1 Timothy 3:2 An overseer must be .... the husband of one wife 1 Timothy 3:12 Deacons are to be husbands of one wife Titus 1:6 An elder must be .... the husband of one wife • So according to these ajeokuta mamomis, this applies to only bishops, elders and deacons. Hokay! Please let's read more in the same passage 1 Timothy 3:2 An overseer, therefore, must be ABOVE REPROACH, the husband of one wife, SELF-CONTROLLED, SENSIBLE, RESPECTABLE, HOSPITABLE, able to teach, (In Obus voice, from My Flatmates😄) So so...are you now saying...other Christians can be full of shame, wild and uncontrollable, senseless, lack respect, and inhospitable?🤔😃 1 Timothy 3:3 Not an excessive drinker, not a bully but gentle, not quarrelsome, not greedy Titus 1:7 As an overseer of God’s household, he must be blameless: not arrogant, not hot-tempered, not an excessive drinker, not a bully, not greedy for money, So it is okay for other Christians can be drunk and rough arrogant bullies always quarreling and fighting in greed?🤔😃 1 Timothy 3:12 Deacons are to be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households competently. So it is okay for other Christians should have unruly vagabonds as children and broken homes?🤔😀 • You see yaself? You see how ya using village people method to read scriptures? You see how you have been saved by zobo and filled with orijin with the evidence of speaking in wrongs? No nau! Haba! The church leader IS SIMPLY THE EXEMPLARY BELIEVER. 1 Timothy 4:12 Let no one despise your youth, but BE AN EXAMPLE TO THE BELIEVERS in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. All these passages are saying is "As a pastor or deacon, the least qualification is that YOU MUST BE A CHRISTIAN! If you cannot live as a Christian, you have no business leading the church. NOW THESE are the qualities of a Christian - live above reproach, BE FAITHFUL TO ONE WOMAN etc That's all it's saying. Not all these spiritual ebola of the medulla oblongata Tankio🙋‍♂️

Once a young woman came to see Charles Haddon Spurgeon and asked him if she could date a young man who was an unbeliever. She said her aim was to lead him to Christ and so she had decided to be engaged to him soon. Spurgeon asked the lady to climb up onto a high table. She could not but obey. Spurgeon already quite advanced in age, told the girl to grasp his hand and try her best to pull him up onto the table. She tried but of course, she could not do it. Then Spurgeon said he would pull her down. And with just one pull, she came down. He said ''It is easy to be pulled down, but hard to pull up.'' That sister gained clarity that day. I hope you have, as well.
