LIFE OF A QUITTER Prostitutes, fraudsters, armed robbers, cheats and so on and so forth are examples of quitters. People who gave up their morality and faith because they couldn’t wait a while longer end up in a terrible fate. God wants us to be patient with Him by being patient with ourselves as we develop gradually into the image He is conforming us to and with those He has placed in our lives to help us achieve our purposes in life The devil may try to distract you by suggesting quick fixes; he wants you to cheat so that you might pass your exams, and bribe your way into what you are yet qualified, make you dabble into pleasures you aren’t ready for etc.  and all these would hinder and limit your functionality in life.

The wedding date was fixed and she couldn’t wait for the day to commence. To cut long story short, the wedding wouldn’t hold because the groom never arrived. She called and called, the number was switched off; He had packed out of his place and ran away with the supposed bride’s wealth to another country. Her heart was broken, she cried, starved and avoided communication with people for months but soon she would recover not without a big scar in her heart. From thence on, she hated every man who showed interest in her, she hated whoever proposes marriage to her and she preferred to be a lesbian for the rest of her life. I had a word for her and for all those in similar situation: that the devil got to you first doesn’t mean God isn’t coming for you, yes, that you first hit a major disappointment in l
