Don't be that married woman that can access portals, realms, thrones and kingdoms, but can't take her husband on a ride to Jerusalem in the bedroom, please don't.
Don't be that girl that can bring down the heavens in tongues, but don't know how to access the hearts of (wo)men with respect and character.
Don't be that man that can stand in front of stadia and altars, thousands and millions, commanding souls to God, but you can't tell that lady how much you love her (Oga, it's been 52weeks since you got that revelation of her, why are you still quiet Biko, why?)
Don't be that person that can rightly divide the word of truth in the church, but your voice is not heard in your academics. Jesus didn't forbid you to learn. Read, learn acquire knowledge.
Don't be that girl who can hit major and minor notes, combine instruments to produce beautiful sounds, but you can't combine colours. Telmabout yellow shirt on pink skirt with blue shoes. Sis, please.
Don't be that human that understands the 100principles of finance from the Bible, but cannot even put one or two ideas from God into practice.
Don't be that person that person that can teach the word without bathing a lid, but cannot even engage your partner in a sweet conversation. Everyday, 'have you eaten? Have you prayed?' Alaye come off it.
In life, I got to realise there might be some areas your voice will be loudly heard when compared to some others, but this shouldn't give chance for laxity. Be so good a teacher of the word as you are in parenting. Be so good a singer as you are in academics.
Stop hiding under 'ministry' to be poor in some areas of your life. Let me show you what 2Peter 1:5 says,
"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Whenever I think of the fellowship I attended back at school, I am reminded of this truth. We were a group of spiritual people, yet slaying effortlessly in academics, showing up powerfully in politics, every man ceasing the mountains they have been called to.
We organised programs back to back, but we knew we had to work extra hard to attain heights in our academics, and we did! We learnt balance.
You might not like us, but you can't ignore us. You can't but listen to the wisdom we had to spew. You can't say no to our request. You will accept without even knowing why.
There's an aura we so excellently exuded without fail. Did I tell you how that guys came to our church just to "get" girls? Some of them failed and turned back, the other ones got converted.
This is the Christianity that should be practised. It is a lifestyle thing, that you're so excellent at your workplace that people will beg to know your God.
Fam, Jesus calls you the salt of the earth. In every area of your life, sprinkle this salt. Let's not overdo one area and abandon the others.
In addition to the spiritual heights you've gained, acquire that degree, take that course, learn that writing skill, learn that cooking skill, learn that public speaking skill, take your skincare game to another level, take care of your hair, learn to combine colours, learn how to toast babe. It can be learnt.
Sit down right now and check your life. Scan for the area of your life in which you're slacking. Pin that area and up your game. Up it so big.
Never forget, you're not a salty human. You are SALT, and that's enough.
