SELF REPRIMAND�

"He who told the blazing sun where to stand in the morning, He who drew the line for the restless oceans to keep within their appointed limits,He who counted the hairs on our heads, would He be ignorant of His Supervisory role in our lives? Can we count the hairs on our eyelashes,talk more of the ones on our head? Why do we want to WORK things out on our own and row the boat by ourselves to the bay��‍♀?

�DID YOU KNOW?
Seeking after pleasures often defeats its own ends.

1.You've said you must marry that lady,she is pretty, has all the curves and if you don't marry her, you'll kill yourself. Huh?� . Have you thought about her vision in life and her virtues as a woman?
2. That dude is "loaded", he is an importer and exporter based abroad and promised to buy you a benz,You must marry that man and travel too with him or else you....�
3. You must get pregnant for your date since He doesn't want to propose to you so you can tie him down to marry you, by fire by force...its alright! �
4. He said he must sleep with You before he sees your parents and start the first marital rites and you agreed,what if he does that severally and after that concludes, "Sorry,you are not good in bed,I don't want to be seeking for sexual satisfaction outside my marriage ". Its the same old trick ohh,na dem dem�

5. He wants to marry you and he is said he is from one community in the Eastern Nigeria and insists you must get pregnant before He commences the marital rites,you loose up and take in,he now drifts saying it must be a boy before he makes any move,Gbam!!! the pregnancy scan shows its a girl��. Poor you.�
6. All your friends and even younger ones are " made",your class mate whilst in school just did a "classy"wedding and you must not be exempted, then you travel abroad to do that dubious business so you can shake up the city and send some dough home...after all You "deserve some accolades" too�. What if you can't even have your peace of mind and dignity as a human anymore over there or worst of all ,what if you get deported� and your Mum becomes �?
7. You are one of these :a single lady, separated, divorced, widowed or a single mum, you accept the norm that you'd have to wear the skimpy and provocative wears revealing your boobs or ripped trousers exposing your "hot thighs" all in the name of fashion to attract � Mr Right�‍�....seriously if you were a man,would you consider yourself a wife material�? Doesn't he have advisers when its time to choose a wife? Would they recommended you�, Yes or no? SELAH!!!

Sweetheart,It's far more than your looks or body curves, be modest,keep on keeping on and fear God more than you'd fear rats,the dude may lust over you, oh yes, but the sad news is that he still desires for a wife a lady of virtue and modest in dressing and personality like his wonderful mum. He wants a queen in the making as a wife,queens are always decent yet charming and winsome. Babe, visit the Queen of England and see that Decency is still trendy and rocks�
6. You've been content with how you've been coping with your husband but your Social media friends are always trendy and posting pictures with their latest hot outfits daily,then you put your husband under undue pressure and cook half meal for your children so you can save and buy wears so you too can 'belong�� as you post and dub yourself " slay queen" Do you know the motives behind your friends posts or the source of their money? What if they don't buy those clothes? What if they have a boutique - picking and replacing the clothes back after wearing? �

Friends,in all these,just be content.Life is simple and is not in the number of undue human accolades but the God's accolades you get; how many lives have been affected positively for God via your life or posts on social media, do you impact lives,does your life preach the goodness of our God;don't be in competition with any one to outdo one another; don't dig your early grave by insisting on making that relationship work even when you can see signs of prayerlessness, infidelity, pomposity, hot temperedness and undue extravagant spending in your spouse to be, run for your dear life��‍♂��‍♀,after all, a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage.�

� GEM FOR TODAY
We should never be impatience at the seemingly "inactivity or slowness" of God then we take things into our own hands and try to be our own Providence. Please Know God for yourself; be still and know He is God. Affect lives, touch lives and bring people closer to God rather than farther from God in all your endeavors. He is never late, He is right there on time and when its your time, you sure don't need to announce it, people 'd share the good news for you. Amen.

� Your plans may fail,rely on God for He is the one to "work" things for you...not you, not by yourself��‍♂�‍♀.

�Thank God its Thursday: Flourishing moments of Self Reprimand �.

Love�
Chychy.

WHAT A HUSBAND TOLD HIS WIFE THE NIGHT OF THEIR MARRIAGE/ WEDDING
My wife, everyone has gone home. The music is quiet, the celebration is over. Our wedding was beautiful but it is now in the past. We have finished the wedding/marriage, it is now time to build our marriage. All that is left now is the two of us… What we will become tomorrow, starts from tonight. Our life is no longer the same.
There was a day you put on one red dress… You looked so beautiful in it. That Day I wanted to just touch you! We were in the Cinema and I was so tempted. I wanted to just take you inside the toilet and kiss you but I couldn’t. Guess what? Now I have you forever, I can do that everyday.
Before I take off your cloth and make love to you… let me tell you few things.
I have nothing to hide from you from this day. My phone, you can use it like your own. You can access my facebook, my twitter and my Instagram
From today, I have become a child. For the past five years of my life, I have been a man. I wake myself up in the morning, sometimes I go to bed hungry, I do things the way I want to. I come home whenever I want to but all that ends today. From today you become my mother, who will scold me when I come home late, a mother who will wake me up at six to go work, a mother who will ensure I don’t sleep hungry. I am glad I have a mother in you.
I hope you will be a good mother? Don’t be too harsh and I promise I won’t be too stubborn. Sometimes I will give you headache but I promise, I will also be the cure of every headache.
When my parents died, I looked after my brothers and sisters. I was like a father to them. So i will not have problem being a father to you. Hope all men will be as nice as dis. Let's treat women like egg. Women are precious, their value is priceless.
