In a kingdom, there is a culture; a way of life.
How you talk, think and do things will show people to a large extent where you come from.
There are principles and standards laid down that sets a kingdom apart from other kingdoms.
There are some notable display amongst Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo that distinguishes them from one another.
As believers, we are from a kingdom and from a city called Zion. Some things can not just be known with us.
Overtime, it has been counted as a norm probably how the society now pictures some things as no big deal but to us it's a real deal.
Some will just be naturally angry with you because you don't subscribe to their own mindset about a perspective. You are just different and weird to them.
This is not a condemnation message as we know people's mindsets are shaped by a lot of events and how their nurturing is like.
Is God's standard that scarce ? Asides from the scarcity, the way some people think it's not even possible for people to honour that instruction in Hebrews 13:4 is scary.
How do we tell them to believe us and let them know that people still hold God's word in high esteem ?
How do we let them know that following the standard is for our benefits because God knows what is best for us ?
How do we tell them that being in some places as a believer is strange to our lineage?
How do we tell them we are not a fanatic but just living out our reality?
You really don't need more explanation because your actions and words already does.
My prayer is that God's standard gains more ground and that we won't lose our guards in Jesus name.
We stand boldly and firmly in God's standard in Jesus name.
