OLD FASHION WAY

Humanity is glad and grateful for the new developments, technologies, inventions and fast growing changes that have affected the world positively today.
Nevertheless, the outcome of it all have been tremendously negative in the life of many people today. Oh, you might say it's their fault, because they choose to go in that direction. Yes! You may be right to some extent. And, I can also say that you're wrong. Why? I know you will ask me.
But do you know that the days gone by are good and challenging to most of us, because they enriched us with the old fashion lifestyles as it was introduced to the men and women of old in burning revelations from above and it was adherently followed by all.
Our contemporary time seems modern and trendy but damning to so many people out there. Christianity is now only practising religion without harmony, sound doctrine, heaven-gifted hymns, Spirit-filled worshippers, faithful preachers of the gospel, heavenly inspired literatures, gospel songs and suchlike.
Gone are the days when the male and female dresses are for covering of the body and not for exposure of certain parts in the name of wearing clothes to suit their taste, body and stature. Hence, leading to rape, immodesty, seduction and lustful pleasures and desires.
The days when mothers and fathers were wholly devoted to their families, helping the children to grow in the way of the Lord, pulling the kids out from the prey of Satan and laying a Christ-like model for them to follow.
Old fashion! The time of consciousness. When grace is not frustrated, love is the model language, ego is destroyed, unity is strengthened, government leaders are servants not bosses, students are studious not cheaters, love over lust, empathy is upfront, the rich helped the poor and growth in all spheres of life was not a taboo.
However, I cannot shy away from the great development of the new era but the disheartening part of it is more than the pleasing part. The bad part are innumerable to mention and thus, we need to respond quickly to the unpalatable lifestyles and teachings everywhere and covet the positive change the Old Fashion preaches and walk in its way so as to preserve the Pentecostal fire to the next generation.
The Old Fashion Way! Looking so old outwardly forgetting that it comes with a good style of worship, refreshing, glowing and newly rewarding inside when its glorious taste.
Conclusively, let's be wise and faithfully follow that path of the Old Fashion Way today as Proverbs 22:28 says, "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set."
Thanks and God bless us.
