Evangelizing in Ikoyi, I met a kind-hearted gardener at a hospital for foreign expatriates in Nigeria. He'd listen attentively to my messages about Jesus , and we formed a strong bond. His story touched my heart: he'd lost his wife, raised three sons alone, and faced workplace challenges.
Our proximity made it easy for me to visit him often. I'd stop by his office, adorned in my signature bold jewelry – Romanian and Italian gold, chandelier earrings, and an Indian god earring. One day, I visited my friend during his break, wearing my usual vibrant accessories .
But he looked troubled . "What's wrong?" I asked. He apologized, fearing he might hurt me, and confessed his feelings . He admired my genuine love for God and my preaching but struggled with my bold jewelry.
"I like you, but could you wear smaller earrings?" he requested, "like 'Tondo'" – tiny stud earrings. Ah! I was taken aback but chose to prioritize his feelings over my personal style.
1 Corinthians 8:13: "Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall."
Romans 14:21: "It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to stumble."
My sacrifice wasn't about the jewelry itself but about considering others' perspectives and prioritizing love and compassion .
Now, how can I ruin this story
Excellent
If others' is anything antichrist, I will not prioritize you.
