So be careful what you see….so be careful what you hear.

So be careful what you see….so be careful what you hear.

The seeing and the hearing senses has influenced humanity for good or evil than almost all the senses of man. To see and hear is a blessing. To behold with your eyes is a gift from God. How can we survive without our eyes and our ears.

All humans who can actually see and hear should be extremely grateful to God. You won’t understand the import of this words until you go blind or deaf just for a minute.

As someone who has come close to the state of blindness and still battles with sight, I surely understand that to see and to hear is a gift from God.

As human beings, the things that God gives us, if not properly taken care of, become the very things we use to dishonor Him. What do I mean?

The seeing is great but if not checked, it can be used to desecrate your soul. To hear is a delight but one wrong wave in your ear drum can remain a taint on you for years.

‘This is how Monica received an invitation to attend a party. With itchy ears and not knowing this gentleman for that long, she gladly accepted the invite. The lights turned sea blue with a cool music at the background.

Do you like what you hear, Cosmos asked her as he led her into the sofa for them to have a drink.

So be careful what you see….so be careful what you hear.

Every lyrics in that song pointed to just one thing…..the beauty of a woman’s nakedness. There were five songs in all but put on repeat mode. It played for roughly four hours. At around 8pm, Monica asked to be taken home. Though Cosmos was disappointed, she prevailed upon him and made him to believe that she will be available the next time.

Reluctantly, he dropped her at her gate and she vowed in heart never to visit him again.

Being a Christian, she woke up at the usual time, at 5: 30 am the next day to pray. As she lifted up her hands to sing ……she unconsciously started singing the songs she heard the previous night. Full of regret and surprise, she realized that not only could she not pray that morning but the song was put on auto play in her mind all through the week.’

‘Johnson had almost the same experience. For him, he went with his friends to a cinema not knowing the type of movie they were going to watch. Thirty minutes into the movie, Johnson realized that he had followed the wrong company. The level of nudity in the movie, though looked normal to his new friends, got him immediately confessing. Though he was confessing, but like the sheep led to the slaughter, he still watched to the last minute.

Outside the cinema center, Johnson was quiet until he got home. What have I done to myself, he queried. The pictures on the screen refused to leave his mind.’

So be careful what you see…. So be careful what you hear.

You see my friend, Johnson and Monica were Christians who knew all that pertains to issues of this nature. But  the fact that you know something is not enough to guarantee that you will survive when the days of temptation beckons.

Like I said from the beginning your sight and your ears are gateways to your life.

King David through his sight destroyed his entire kingdom (read my article on King Davids Look) KING DAVID’S LOOK

As I go about teaching young people on effective living, I consistently drive home my point on this subject matter with a simple poem

”Men are moved by

what they see……

Women are moved by

what they hear……

So be careful

what you see……

So be careful

what you hear.”

Do you agree? Although we all have eyes…. men by creation are more and mostly moved by what they see. Although we all have ears…. women by creation are mostly moved by what they hear.

If therefore a young man wants to see good old days with less regrets, he has to be extremely careful with his sight.

If a young lady wants less of frustration and more of peace that surpasses all understanding, she has to be mindful of what she sees.

Focus on seeing things that can move you forward. Focus on hearing things that can make you progress in life. Your eyes and ears are a gift from God…you have the responsibility to use it for his glory.

For the love of God, society and young people

Blessings
