The question of whether to bleach or not vis-à-vis christian faith is a very sensitive issue which has generated alot of controversy in the christian cycle.Any attempt to discourage this mentality of bleaching always raise a question of the kind "where've you seen it in the Bible that bleaching is a sin? Many will speak you to face that,it's poverty that makes you question the act i.e lack of money to buy either bleaching cream or soap.Well,I want to believe that as a christian,it's high time we stop minoring on the major instead,we should be majoring on the major so that we'll be realistic in our sense of thoughts and value ourselves as a perfect being created by God.
From the beginning of the world when God created everything,it was stated that they are all good but I have come to the point of asking myself whether we've a full comprehension of this word? The statement implies that,God is saying:"with my wisdom have I created all and I created them in the way they should be,there is nothing better than this and I've committed no mistake in the course of this creation..." but it's a pity that in our age,we are so myopic in our reasoning to tell God how poor he was in the school of creation,questioning Him why he created you to be black.This colour does not befit me and the likes.We've rendered his handiwork useless by changing what he described as "GOOD!".It'll not be an exaggeration to say that the human race have always been showing some level of dissatisfaction about their skin colour in which those of us that knows what it takes God to create fall a victim as well.
Anytime a "christian" try to manipuate his/her skin all in the name of fashion and looking spiffy,s/he is invariably questioning the knowledge of God!
Apostle Paul in Roman 9:20 says that "Nay but,O man,who hath thou that repliest God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it that,why has thou made me so? Are we not replying God? questioning his authority over your body complexion. If God created you to be black,he knows that that is the best complexion to the glory of His name.And if somebody was created as white,it's not a mistake but a perfect plan of God.So,why trying to change the order of creation?
Don't you know that the potter has power over the clay(Rom 9:21) ? If it pleases him,he can mould u the way it pleases him and that's why you're not responsible for your skin colour.God knows to it.
We've examples of people who gets their skin colour damaged in this act of bleaching,jeopardising God's work which claim their lifes at the end.That should tell you that any man that does not retain God in his/her knowledge would be delivered into his /her lustful heart desires whose end is destruction.You're a perfect creation of God and you should be proud of your skin colour,don't feel inferior even when you are darker more than charcoal,you never created yourself,you're a product of God's work.Having this in mind,you will glorify God in your life because you're maintaining your God given skin colour.
Brethren,what shall it profit a man that bleach on earth and still be re-bleached in Hell fire.
A Time To Think!
God bless.
