DO NOT AWAKEN LOVE NOW

July 25, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Sos2:7 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.

I read in the news recently about a teenager that committed suicide because she caught her boyfriend cheating on her. Some may say that she was 'madly' in love with that guy maybe that was why she committed suicide. Well, King Solomon, the man who was a Professor in women affairs knew the power of emotions and that was why he said we shouldn't awaken love until it so desires.

I have seen teenagers ruin their lives and destinies in the name of 'love'. There is a time when love should be sleeping, don't awaken love when it ought to be on bed. In my opinion, anyone who hasn't settled his destination in life has nothing to do with 'being in love'. Every relationship that is not ordained by God will put you in trouble regardless of how much you love the person.

What this generation calls love is lust. Musicians call it love and show us videos of someone in love but if you follow that pattern of love, you'll enter into trouble. Ladies, a man that doesn't love God cannot love you. Don't be fooled by the so many ' l love you'. Face your studies and get direction for your life, when it is time to 'love', it will wake-up and you'll enjoy being in love then.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to be self controlled and disciplined In Jesus name. Amen
