A dear sisters asked me about my opinion on wearing trousers...
Hmmmmmm, this is a discussion I really don't want to get fully involve in because people have different ideologies, mentality, etc about it and trust me, it's draining down some people.
Okay, I told her it's all about your conviction. What do you think about wearing trousers? What's your motive towards wearing trousers? To kill or to look smart, modest, etc?
While growing up I remembered I made a promise to one of my sisters (friends) telling her I won't wear trousers and earrings in my life. Smiles, look at me now.
In fact, I grew up looking at those who were wearing earrings and trousers as sinners because of the church I grew up in. So, it was all that, that made me think wearing trousers was bad but as times goes on, I realized it shouldn't be like that.
So, like I said to the dear sister. What is your conviction about wearing trousers? If you think it's bad, don't you think wearing the NYSC trouser is bad too? Even if it's mandatory, don't you think wearing it is as if you have broken your believe about it . So such people shouldn't serve abi? No!
For some people, it's like an instruction/leading not to wear it but just because it's your conviction doesn't mean you can enforce it on others or see people that wears it as sinners.
Stay on your conviction and let others do. Stop beefing and keeping malice just because that sisters is wearing trousers and you are not. I am not saying this because I wear it but because I have been there before. Back then, you can't be my friend if you wear trousers.
Also to those wear trousers,
Let's be modest and represent God well. You shouldn't be wearing any how trousers that doesn't present you well. In as much as you want to look fit and smart. Also, be modest. Let people see you and desire how modest and presentable you look in trousers. Let your motive be right. You shouldn't have the motives of wearing trousers to tempt people. Please, let your motive be right and positive.
So, don't enforce wearing trousers on anyone. Let them be convinced about that personally. Also, because someone who doesn't wear trousers before start wearing trousers doesn't mean you should look down on the person or say "She has blackslided". Bibles, say judge no one. No matter how well you know the person or not. God hasn't given unto us the power to judge but to be our brother's keeper. If you notice or sense anything about a person, walk up to the person or put the person in prayers instead of condemning.
I pray God help us to walk in love and don't select people based on if she is wearing trousers or not. No! It should be. Bibles instruct us to love everyone without segregation.
God bless us all...Amen!
