TRUSTING YOUR CONSCIENCE

The moment you enter a relationship or union which is heretical to your internal values and belief system, your conscience will prick you incessantly.
If you overlook, it will go into silent mode, and you will enter into a phase of groping and sadness. This is because you have abandoned your guide for instant gratification.

The painful part is you will know that you are in a wrong connection because each time you meet someone who suits your values you will be so sad and feel like you are missing out or guilty as if you’re cheating.

Romans 2:15
who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)

What to do?
As one wise man said, “If you find yourself in a ditch, stop digging and start climbing out.”
In my book I jotted down 3 ways (Sabbatical, clean and slow death) of cutting off toxic relationship depending on your situation and here is one of them and I wrote…

Bombshell/Clean Cut
There are certain relationships that are hanging but no one from
both sides has the guts to initiate the escape button. The relationship is bleeding, a lot of on and offs, but for some foolish reasons
we find ourselves hopefully dangling in there. This is normally
caused by entanglements because of premarital sex, big promises
and investing in business together. Sometimes we are too involved
and sexually attached to these unfruitful relationships, but there is
no love at all. In this case, you use a clean cut. But you need some
friends to help you, the like of pastors and accountability partners.
For me, I found some stable ground with people who already
knew that the relationship wasn’t going anywhere. They are those
people who had my best interest at heart. Most of the time they
knew already that I was heading for a disaster, but I was too emotional to receive the bad news. You need them to lean on so that
you don’t go back when you are lonely. Abusive people have a way
of attracting us back to their hell, isn’t it? So the strategy is to be
vulnerable enough to get help.
It’s like how they break addictions from smoking drugs. They
give you something with smoke, but not drugs to help you through
the process. When you are helpless, you need friends just like the
friends who brought one of them to Jesus.
