Secret sin

It's been a long day, thank God the day is coming to an end and I just came back from now feeling tired, I had a different topic in mind today, but after reading @Princessbusayo post on noise cash, about two couples that were quarreling in secret and cheering each other in public, the fight continued for long and something terrible happened, you can read it here if you aren't following her.

Things like this happen daily, husband and wife will be keeping malice, under the same roof, cooking with different pots and they won't be sleeping in the same bed, they can keep the malice for over a year and no one will know about it, maybe until God intervenes in the case, that's when they will settle the case. 

Sometimes when we see two happy couples getting divorced, we can't help but imagine what is the cause of it, like we look up to them as the best couples and we think that their relationship is flawless and they both understands each other, one thing we should keep in mind is that all that glitters is not gold, some na iron weh dem use shini shini spray (some are fake) we don’t know what some people go through in their relationship secretly, all we see is the matching clothes they both wear, the invincible kiss they both give each other from afar, the lovely names they call themselves but deep inside they are suffocating in the relationship. 

I know of a couple that has fought so many times, sometimes the husband will threaten the wife that he will kill her, people will intervene and calm both of them down, the upper week, both of them will just be happy with each other as if they never fought before, sometimes I wondered how possible it is for them to just forget about their fight and started to be happy with one another again, then something flashed into my mind, which you can guess from the title. 

What is secret sin

Okay, I won't explain the meaning of secret sin, because we all must have known it by now and we are also guilty of it in one way or the other, the difference between public sin and secret sin is that, when someone gets caught in public, the person might decide to repent and become a good person, though most of the people that judged him/her does the same sin but in private, just because they haven’t gotten caught yet. 

I don’t want to quote the Bible, but during Christ staying on earth in the New Testament, a group of people holding stones, brought a woman to him that she has sin and according to their law, she shall be stoned to death, Christ was writing on the floor, then Christ said to them, if anyone of you aren’t guilty of the same sin she committed, be the first to cast the stone, Before Christ rose up his head, everyone was gone except for the woman, he asked her, where are the people that wanted to stone you and she replied they all ran away.

She woman must have repented and become a follower of Christ, but not all of those people that wanted to stone her, will repent too, secret sin is like a drug, the more you do it, the more you say you want to stop it, the more you get in more, you will be postponing the date you wanted to stop it before it destroys you, sometimes it takes God to bring you out of it, everyone has his or her secret sins and we should not judge that’s for a sin that we also do in private. 

Just like the couples that are always fighting in public, other women in the environment will be coming and be saying all kinds of words that the man is evil, if they were the woman, they would have shown the man pepper, he won't forget in his lifetime, some also said that no their husbands has not laid a finger them, which the truth is that, few of them might be suffering in private, but they ashamed go tell someone because they have become a public figure and people look up to them, that's the reasons most of them decided to remain in the bondage. 

Closing Thoughts

Actually, there are no closing thoughts, but I hope you understand it, enduring toxic relationship is also a secret sin, secret sins kill slowly, the earlier you stop it, the better for you, meanwhile, I'm not exempted.
