“All my mates are all having boyfriends, I’m the only odd person among them” – she expressed in displeasure.
.
“Guy, why do dey dull yourself, fine boy like you, girlfriend you no get? Come make we organize fine babe for you” – they echoed amusingly.
.
We are in a competitive world where people in their different classes are struggling to gain recognition and acceptance. Lots of people are sweating it out just to prove a point that they are able to do what others are doing.
.
In relationships, competition has eaten deep into the lives of men. Men are keeping girlfriends so that they won’t be isolated from the world of fun and pleasure. They do it to keep tabs with their friends in other to gain ‘experience’.
.
Ladies too are also caught up in this competitive quest. The race to look like the most beautiful, best dressed, best couple and so on has engrossed their lives to the extent that they forget who they are.
.
This battle has now become a must-do for many people. They live with the philosophy that if you can beat them, join them!
.
Do you need to feel among?
.
Many who felt the need to ‘feel among’ are among those who face the consequence of relationship issues such as fornication, adultery, sexual immoralities, unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
.
You don’t need to feel among in life because life is not defined by what everyone is doing but by what one person does outstandingly.
.
That everybody is having boyfriends or girlfriends doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. In fact, it’s not the right thing to do because it will distract you and hinder your progress in life.
.
Many don’t know that the demands of these kind of relationship is much and burdensome. The time, resources, effect, attention and its demand will affect your life and destiny.
.
Don’t feel among because there are too many people who are living the common life. The world is in need of extraordinary men and women who have not defiled themselves with the vanities of life. Men and women who defy all odds such as youthful exuberance and peer pressure to carve out a name for themselves.
.
Daniel and the three Hebrew boys choose not to feel among, though they were humiliated but in the long run, it paid off. They could have done what the Babylonians are doing but they knew who they were.
.
It is lack of vision that would make you to do what your mates are doing such as having boyfriends or girlfriends that would destroy your life and to abuse substance such as drugs and the likes. Those who knew where they’re going to or who they are don’t engage in destructive pleasure such as drinking, partying or living today as if there’s no tomorrow.
.
You need determination to stand out and not to feel among. You’ll be enticed with all the pleasures of what to ‘feel among’ will do for you but when you see the prize of standing out, you’ll despise the temporal for the lasting benefits.
.
Stand out among the circle of your friends and colleagues. Don’t do what others are doing because everyone is doing it. There are few people at the top but too many people at the lower cadre of life.
.
Just in case you don’t know, God is interested in the remnants of the land than in the multitude who have corrupted themselves.
.
To my single brothers, sisters and teenagers who chose not to do what others are not doing, I write this to encourage you that you are not alone. Though it would seem as if you’re the only odd person but the truth is this, there are many out there who are surviving without engaging in destructive relationship or in the abuse of substance.
.
To those who are saying No to sex until marriage, I celebrate you and encourage you to remain steadfast and unmoved, God is really proud of you and would reward you.
.
Stand out for God and for good. Don’t associate yourself with vain persons with no future ambition. Don’t associate with those who call sin fun or being smart, God will not lower His standard to conform to man’s imperfection.
.
Are you feeling as if you should join them? No, it’s dangerous to do so! The world is waiting for your shine. Remember, your story and your success is all that the world needs. Don’t be among those who sow terrible seeds to the world. Stand out and stand for God!
