Introduction
         On the social media and networks, you see all kinds of wedding styles. People are developing or adding all kinds of effects.
Adding effects and entertainments is good. But, the bad thing is that most of the effects are demonic, immoral or devilish. They earn you no rewards in heaven. Besides, they neither increase your life span nor improve the quantity of your life. For your life is entirely spiritual. And they count you among the enemies of God without your knowing it. Beware of the deceptions of Devil.

The Worst Styles
         Very bad, indeed:

  1. Soon after, another couple used okada (motorcycle), with one motorcycle carrying the bridegroom, bride and bride’s maid.

  2. A different set of couple used tipper.

  3. While a different couple made news by sliding on mobile shoes along the road.

  4. Some keep themselves busy travelling as if the success of their wedding depends on the distance covered.

  5. On the adventurous aspect, a couple went up to the mountain tops. Imagine the risks, climbing steep sides and slippery rocks.

  6. In another wedding, the bride was pointing a gun to the head of the bridegroom. What a nonsense?

  7. Sometime ago, a couple recently wedded naked in the public.

  8. Another adventurous couple organized their wedding inside the water.

  9. The worst is kissing inside the temple of God or inside the altar area, with the reverend fathers and pastors watching and smiling, while the couple is doing the very thing that God warned must not be done in His temple. Do you now understand how worldly and misguided the religious leaders have become?

  10. Consider the recent case of an army officer, dancing one corner dance during his wedding, even while wearing the military uniform. That act alone is enough to dismiss him from military service, if the commanders were not equally corrupt.

  11. The worst is competition in expenditure, decorations, entertainments and connections.

  12. Etc.

Other Engagements
         One fact about all this wedding engagements and activities is that the couples, eventually, return to and resume their everyday ordinary life environments and lifestyle. What then prompt people to seek for fun where no funs exits? They are all seeking for fulfillments. But, there is no fulfillment in the world, for the earthly money and wealth are the waste products from heaven, which are used to test the children of man.

True fulfillment is found in spirit and in truth. Therefore, let whatever you do be moderate, simple and natural.

After Effects
         Many people who hold lavish wedding end up regretting it. One person sold his jeep, after wedding activities and glamour, to be able to eat and pay debts. Many end up living a life of poverty after the boisterous wedding. Usually, it is the women that goes about pleading for food items and begging for ingredients. The men usually try to maintain their pride and dignity by staying behind at home or residence, as if nothing bad and ugly is happening. Yet, hardship is biting hard on every side against the newly wedded couple.

Worse Still
         Avoid the following ugly experiences:
  1. Very soon, and frequently, the creditors are coming to ask for the refund of their money.

  2. And service providers would not allow the new couple to have peace of mind.

  3. The photographer is just moving out, disappointed, because his charges has not been paid.

  4. The band leader is marching in to ask for outstanding balance.

  5. The baker has just called on phone to know when she will come and collect the money for the cake used.

  6. The rentals have sent text message demanding for completion of payments for tables, chairs and canopies.

  7. What of the supermarket that provided drinks?

  8. And the stylish dancers that made occasion social? One has sent a post of the quantities supplied and the total amount to be paid.

  9. The other has called on whatsApp complaining of delayed payment, because the couple has not deposited money into his bank account as they had promised.

  10. Even friends, who lent money, are flashing, continually, because the bridegroom failed to call them back as he had promised. One bride was embarrassed before her students, because a woman lender came into her class demanding for refund of money borrowed to the teacher who was newly wedded.

  11. Etc.

Look Before You Leap
         You have to act wisely:
  1. Many people who organize expensive wedding live to regret it.

  2. The man’s business that was booming before the wedding, is now a disappointing failure, because all financial reserves have been squandered.

  3. He can no longer give out money to the relations. Soon, the relations start complaining that it is the new wife that is preventing their son from giving them as he used to do before the marriage, without knowing that the newly wedded couple is suffering poverty, hardship, hunger and disappointments.

  4. The married life that supposed to be a thing of joy and hope, turns into sadness and crisis.

  5. Etc.

Stop Provoking The Anger Of God
         Today, many are provoking God on their wedding day, without minding the consequences, and every day the evil practices are on the increase. People commit the following evils and abominations in the name of wedding:
  1. Coming into the church naked or half-naked.

  2. Wearing sexy, skimpy and daring attire.

  3. Many wear half shoulder, open shoulder, show back, view front, etc.

  4. They appear inside the holy temples of God in every fashion and trends, without obeying the laws of holiness.

  5. Even the brides in their monthly periods carry their blood flow into the church and even mount the altar, because the pastors or reverend fathers did not teach them that it is an abomination to do so.

  6. Soon the couples are kissing inside the altar; whereas the Lord said “Do not go near a woman,” within the last twenty four hours before entering His temple. Refer to the book of Exodus, which reads,

  7. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. 11 And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, 'Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain."
    So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said to the people, "Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives." Exodus 19:10-15

  8. They come in all kinds of foot wears to trample down on the holy places of God.

  9. They are not afraid to enter the churches without covering their heads and hairs.

  10. Even those who have scarfs would hang the scarfs on their shoulders or make an incomplete covering, by exposing one side, leaving the hairs and weavons hagging loose, or make the scarfs go round without covering the middle portion.

  11. Others are wearing transparent dresses.

  12. All these are abominations, which attract the anger and wrath of God Almighty.

  13. Etc.

Abominations upon abominations. Be warned!

The Consequences In Spirit
         Very grievous indeed:
  1. If you cannot behave responsibly in public, you cannot be entrusted with very important matters in spirit. That means that the Angels and Saints shall treat as a nonentity, a useless person, unreliable.

  2. Instead of growing in spirit, you shall be backsliding, even without knowing it.

  3. All these rampant and unnecessary display of love affairs, sex and romance was one of the sins committed by the fallen Angels. They were practicing love and courtship before youths and children who were not yet mature and ready for marriage. Thereby, corrupting the future generations of humanity.

  4. Eventually, the society cannot control and discipline the youths and children, when the adults are celebrating romance, sex and immorality in public view.

  5. All amount to craziness, the eventual result is wiping out the human populations as was done to the Noah’s generations by the great flood.

    By allowing all kinds of immorality, in the name of freedom, the present generations of humanity have also earned for themselves similar karma, disasters and calamities that happened to the Noah’s generations. That is why there is increasing natural disasters and man-made calamities, which are the merciless swords Warrior Angels in the forms of: crisis, agitations, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes, wars, diseases, infections, pollutions, accidents, emergencies, abnormalities, in various strange forms that are unexpected. Be warned!

The Best Wedding Style
         For best results:
  1. Be simple and decent.

  2. Be moderate in expenditure.

  3. Save your money to build a happy and successful family, not extravagant expenditure that leaves you poor and begging.

  4. No sexual or immoral acts and displays, especially inside the church or altar.

  5. The fixing of rings on the fingers is more than an enough show of love for the day.

Conclusion
         A word is enough for the wise.
