Singer, Goldie Becomes Preacher, Preaches On “Seven Deadly Sins”
Singer, Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey popularly called Goldie who was rumoured to be dating Prezzo late last year has turned born again.
According to her, she woke up and a particular nagging though wouldn’t leave her head and she has decided to pour it out.
Read her write up below
“I woke up this morning and this thought wouldn’t leave my head The 7 deadly Sins”.
I don’t know why it kept ringing in my head as I hadn’t watched a
movie or even read anything similar to the subject before I went to bed
or even in recent times.
However, never being one to ignore the signs, I decided to do a
little research and read up on “The 7 deadly sins” and it definitely was
an eye opener.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Proverbs 6:16-19. “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:
Haughty eyes, (Pride), A lying tongue,(A Liar), Hands that shed
innocent blood,(Murderer), A heart that devises wicked schemes, Feet
that are quick to rush into evil, A false witness who pours out lies and
a person who stirs up conflict in the community”(Gossip).
The real 7 sins however are; Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride.
Lust: Doesn’t relate to just anything s*xual, but relates to an
obsession with pleasure. A disordered desire for inordinate physical
enjoyment. Anyone who can’t get enough of a “good” thing so much that it
turns bad is lustful.
Gluttony: Gluttony isn’t just about excessive eating, it pertains to
wanting anything in excessive amounts even when you have no use for it.
Anyone who wants more than they need or can make use of at any point in
time is a glutton.
Greed: Pertains to an obsessive desire for material wealth and Power.
A desire to amass any and everything the world has to offer. Anyone who
revels in the attainment of wealth and power in order to be better than
and/or have control over others is greedy.
Sloth: Sloth is a kind of spiritual laziness as opposed to mere
physical fatigue. It means not making it a priority to do what we
should, or change what we should in ourselves. Some people might call it
apathy, which means a lack of feeling. An example of sloth is someone
avoiding to do the right thing due to a lack of personal motivation.
Wrath: Wrath or anger is an emotion that makes us want do hostile
things to each other. It isn’t the “anger” itself that is the sin, but
the actions it leads us to should we allow it to. An example of an
action anger can cause is vengeance.
Envy: Envy is the love of what other people possess, rather than what
is Good, Beautiful and True. Anyone who covets what people around
him/her have and wishes it was theirs is envious.
Pride: Pride is actually at the root of all sin. That is why it is
listed first and that’s why I’m talking about it last. This is because
pride is first and foremost inherent in all sin. Proud people are those
that look condescendingly on others. They look at others as inferior in
an arrogant way and see themselves as better than everyone else.
It is pride that makes you envious. It is pride that makes you angry. It is pride that makes you greedy. Pride is the root cause of lust! Of gluttony! and if you look closely, of sloth too. Laziness comes out of believing,you’re too good to do something or an action is beneath you, therefore you do nothing.
In conclusion, after my research I believe that if we all let go of pride, a lot of wrongs in the world would turn right.
