It's My Body I Can Do Whatever I Want With It

"It's my body I can do whatever I want with it"
Amongst the numerous quotes and sayings I have recently deduced as 'wrong', this happens to be the most insane.
To crown it all, there are movements to actually support this notion  headed by women who claim to be Christians when the question of religion and going to church arises but when it comes to how they should dress to church and life at large it suddenly becomes; 'its my body, I can do what I want".
This movement has been covered under the canopy of 'self love and do you, the world will adjust' and it just surprises me when Christian women pledge to this movement with their dressing without understanding God will never adjust to mans movement when he has a movement of his own.
It is very confusing because in as much as these women claim to pray and study the word, I have reasons to believe they ignore verses where God says our bodies belong to him;
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God"(1st Corinthians 6:12-20).

So, let me clear this before I continue; It's not your body so you cannot do whatever you want.
Your body belongs to God as such whatever you do should reflect God in you.
Self love and body positivity; that I agree but how does being naked or half naked promote self love or build confidence?

Some lame persons even caption this indecent culture as perfection and I beg to differ. He created you in his own image, his image is beyond perfection. As a matter of fact his image doesn't need description because far and wide no matter how we search or try to, we cannot describe him.
We cannot fit him into a word.
So when you talk about perfection in this indecent movement, the sentence automatically becomes wrong.
You can only describe yourself as perfect if your outward appearance is in unity with the Holy spirit within you.

Christian sisters, labeling our selves as Christians isn't just it.
It's about living up to the label.
Living up to this label involves understanding you have been called to be set apart, to glorify God in what you wear.
You cannot call yourself a daughter of a king and show up in rags.
You should be fully clothed and adorned in royalty.
Don't limit your Christianity to certain verses in the bible, let it cover everything.


With that being written,
My name is Emediong and this is

  6. Really Impressive, true nuggets of gold. If I should highlight every sentence that got to me , I would almost be reposting the entire article.
    Thanks for being a blessing.

  7. And I agree. We should also approach topics like abortion with this same energy because it is the same maxim of "a woman can do what she wants with her body" that serves as some people's first defense for abortion.

Dear Men

Dear men, Scratch that . Dear society, you know; never mind. I keep saying I want to have just boys because I want to teach them that being a guy isn't so much of a big deal,we all got blood running through our veins. When I listen to some guys speak it gets me annoyed,confused and a whole rush of different emotions I can't put into words. A woman speaks up for herself and she is labeled aggressive. Read the reason I left Feminism A woman tells you this is what she can put up with and y'all say she got an attitude that would lead her no where.  Well, I don't want to go no where with you and that mentality. When a guy does any of this some how the word personality appears in the dictionary and everyone goes on and on saying thats just his personality,"Its a masculine thing". Well, you are damn right it's a feminine thing that i won't put up with any thing you believe a woman should put up with simply because she is a woman and if it takes m

On Being A Feminist

The other day I was privileged to attend an event, it wasn't necessarily a church program but it centered around Christianity and women. So of course the guest speakers would be women but one was particularly very interesting. This lady  went on and on about how Christian women should act, which I agreed for the most part and learnt new  things. However, she took me aback with a particular statement she made "you can't be a Christian and a feminist". She went ahead to attempt to back up her claim by saying "feminism is a cult group". At this point the only thing I could utter was Hmmm, wahala dey o. I immediately had to google the meaning of feminism and right after I searched for misandry. I know there has been a lot of attack on people who identify as a feminists but this was the first time I heard "...you can't be both a Christian and a feminist". I had a lot of questions as you might have guessed. I honestly just wanted to understand where

My Identity Crisis

  Oh, hello This is uum kind of awkward. You would think after doing this for so many years, I would be so courageous and confident to stand before a crowd. It's almost like every event I'm invited for,is a chance to stand on the stage again for the very first time.  Somehow I believe that's the beauty of it all, the nervousness, excitement, the adrenaline spike that rushes through my body helping me prepare so I don't get so comfortable in my God-given abilities and slip up. Well, as some of you may know My name is Emediong Francis Udoudoh and I wear many hats but for this event, I choose to wear my green public speaking hat. Can I have a seat please? I hope that's fine yea, okay I think I would be more comfortable if I assume the friendly kind of vibe position. Thank you very much. So, as I was saying my self and my green hat we want to talk you today about identity. As many of you may know, I am the founder of Dimensionsofgold conglomerate but what you don't
