Christianity EtcStop Following Your Erection by biggboy(op): 9:59am On May 27, 2018
Erection is a state of arousal of sexual desires in a man in preparation for sexual exploit. Having an erection is natural but obeying the dictates of your erection is a choice. For every erection, there's a responsibility. Wise men have control over their erection but foolish men obey their erections.

Any erection not properly controlled is capable of leading one to early grave. Unsolicited erection is no respecter of persons. Anointing, righteousness, strength, age etc. has no power over erection, only self-control and self-discipline can curb an erection.

Many became useless fathers because they didn't control their erections.

Some are in prison because they followed the dictates of their stupid erection.

Others have lost great opportunities in life because their erection pushed them.

Some are bed-ridden at the altar of uncontrollable erection.

The stupidity of erection is that most times it isn't selective. Unchecked erection has led great kings to be at the bed of their slaves and maids. Stupid erection has led some to sleeping with their blood sisters. Erection has not left the clergy out of the drama as many have been found messing up with those they ought to be Shepherd over. What a stupid erection!

A strong man is not measured by the level of his physical muscle or by the number of nations he has conquered but by his ability to control his erection. No man in history could be said to be more powerful than Samson yet his erection made him the weakest in history, his erection made him fall at the lap of a woman. David killed Goliath and conquered many great nations but he couldn't conquer his erection, he became weak at the sight of Bathsheba, the wife of his servant. Reuben ruined his future and generation after him because of his uncontrollable erection.

Don't let your erection destroy your destiny!

Your erection is a sign you are a real man but following it to everywhere it leads you is a sign of weakness.

Any man who cannot control his erection can't control his life.

The only time your erection cannot mislead you is when you use it within the confines of your marriage.

Stop following your erection, follow your vision!

Christianity Etc2019: I Am Not Sure There Will Be An Election– Adeboye by biggboy(op): 5:12pm On May 05, 2018
THE General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye on Friday warned the current Nigerian government to urgently end the unending orgy sectarian killings in different parts of the country, stressing that Nigeria as it is presently constituted may cease to exist if the murderous attacks continue.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God Adeboye, who made the declaration at the May 2018 Holy Ghost service with a theme: “Stronger Than Your Enemies 5” with a sub title, ‘Habitation of the Almighty’, also warned that “unless the killings stopped there may not be elections in 2019 in Nigeria.” The cleric made the admonition while leading the large crowd of worshippers at the Redemption Camp and in several viewing centers across the globe, in a prayer for the survival of Nigeria, re-echoed the fact that a nation may survive a civil war but no nation can survive a religious war and remain the same.

Narrating how he felt in faraway Germany when yet to be identified herdsmen stormed St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Ukpor-Mbalom Parish, Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue State, killing two Catholic priests and 17 parishioners, he told the large crowd that he was unusually quiet and his wife of over 50 years was curious.

“I said there is no father who would lose 19 children in a day that will not be quiet. She said what do you mean, because she hadn’t heard the news that in a church, somebody went in and shot 19 people.

“It doesn’t matter the denomination…by the special grace of God, all Christians in Nigeria call me daddy. So when any of them dies, it’s my son or daughter that is dead,” Adeboye said.




It will be recalled that on April 24, 19 persons, including Reverend Fathers Joseph Gor and Felix Tyolaha, who were conducting the morning Mass were gunned down in cold blood, while many sustained injuries, including bullet wounds. He therefore called on the Buhari led government to urgently end the killings before it dovetails into a religious war.

Continuing, Pastor Adeboye said: “I am going to ask you to join me in prayer, because unless these killings stop, and stop immediately, even Nigeria may not live. I am not talking about individuals now, I am talking about Nigeria itself…a bishop asked me not too long ago, ‘Daddy, has God told you who win the next election?’

“I said, Sir, I am not even sure yet there will be an election. Because unless these killings stop there may be no elections next year. ‘Are you prophesying, Daddy?’ No, no! I am not prophesying. I am just reasoning. Because nobody will want to go out to vote if they are not sure they will be able to return home safely,” he explained.

According to him, he has seen war at close quarters and knows that there is nothing good about war, “it’s a terrible thing. A nation may survive a civil war, but no nation can survive a religious war a remain the same. That Nigeria may live these killings must stop.

“So all of you who love Nigeria, I want to rise on your feet, and cry to God with all your heart, and say: Father, let the killings stop,” and the response was spontaneous…..”that Nigeria may live, please God let the killings stop.”

Christianity EtcWho Is Your Pastor? by biggboy(op): 7:51am On Apr 22, 2018
A pastor is the spiritual leader over a group of people or congregation. He furthers the work of the church while leading others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. A pastor can practice within a specific concentration, such as working with children, overseeing a ministry or serving as a senior pastor. He follows the particular demands his denomination or church tradition requires, including those of character, experience and educational requirements. Pastors can be full-time, part-time, bi-vocational or a volunteer.



Being a pastor is a complex and demanding role, and only those that God has empowered by the Holy Spirit will truly be able to fill it.



I have come to discover 12 kinds of Pastors that are visible in the Church today. Though not all, but these twelve represent majority of Pastors leading Churches today. I hope you can find who you are among these twelve descriptions.



KINDS OF PASTORS



1. BUSINESSMEN PASTORS (1 Timothy 6:35; Isaiah 56:10,11; 2:14).

Description: They are businessmen and women who see the ministry as avenue to make money. They function as the Chief Executive Officers of their Churches. The Church is run with business principles. Their major emphasis is money, finance, prosperity and how to make it. They are in absolute control of everything.



Basic Motive: Gain and profit. Their programmes are targeted at how much money is realized. They are using God’s name, the Church and the Bible to make money and enrich themselves.



Demerits: No heaven-mindedness, disciples and godliness. They breed Christians who are greedy of gain, profit-oriented, thieves and crooks. They engage in lying, fantastic promises and spurious prophesies. They apportion Church position to the highest bidder.



Way Out: True repentance, freedom from financial lucre and restoration of balanced truth to the church. Business Pastors have brought much bad image to the Church.



2. FUNKY PASTOR (2 Timothy 4:3, 4; Jeremiah 6:13)

Description: Worldly, carnal, ungodly Pastors who watered down the gospel to please people. They dress anyhow and they allow anything in the Church. They are immoral and sex-maniac who take advantage of people. Their messages are the Church liberty, ministry on the broadways, easy way to heaven and making you somebody in life.



Basic Motives: Keep the people happy. Don’t offend them by telling them the truth. They exert influence and power over people in order to get their money. Youth and young people enjoy these kinds of Pastors.



Demerits: No mention of sin, evil, hell or righteousness. Their focus is miracle, blessing and breakthroughs. Secular talk shows are allowed. Immorality, extra-marital affairs and pre-marital sex are overlooked all in the belief that God is a loving God. Funky pastors have brought much shame to the Pastoral ministry and their name.



Way Out: Genuine repentance and restitution, or else…



3. VOCATIONAL PASTORS (Ezekiel 34:2, 3)

Description: They are in the ministry, not as a result of God’s call, but by the call of men. They see pastoring as a hobby. They love the honour and respect being given to Pastors. Tribal sentiments, ethnic bias, connection to authority, wealth, status and oratory power are what was used to make them Pastors. Educational qualifications and greasing of palms also figure here.



Basic Motive: To rule over others and to be seen and respected by them. No vision, purpose and commission from the Lord. They therefore lord themselves over the people, *using threats and position to oppress those who are genuinely called.*



Demerits: They are not concerned with anyone or the Church once their position is secured. They lead Church backward through secular management systems. They don’t train, develop or empower anyone. The Church is always malnourished and spiritually weak under such Pastors. Their ministrations are always devoid of God’s power and their sermons always make people sick. Vocational or honorary Pastors have caused much havoc for the Church today.



Way Out: Seek the face of God as to His plan for your life, resignation and functioning where God wants you.



4. YESTERDAY’S PASTORS

Description: They are called by the Lord, but they are not in tune with the moves of God today.

They are holy, godly and righteous but they are trapped in yesterday’s ways because they are ultra-conservative. Old tradition, dogma and doctrinal correctness is their forte. They spend only on their one gift to lead the Church, they detest learning and change.



Basic Motive: To survive and bring back old time religion. They are therefore prejudiced against growth, change and new strategies. They are good in hymnals, bell-ringing and order of service that has become routine and lifeless today. Their relational skills are weak and very low.



Demerits: Lack of vision, purpose and direction in the Church. The work is backward; they are confused because changes that have occurred have left them behind. They therefore experience crisis, breakaway, stagnation and backdoor losses.They do everything in the Church because they don’t trust anybody. They are skeptic of people and change. Pastors of yesterday usually don’t know the new moves of God for today; because they are too busy looking at yesterday.



Way Out: Change, personal growth, disabused mindset and new focus of the move of God today.



5. POLITICAL PASTORS (Jeremiah 10:21; Jeremiah 23:11; Micah 3:11)

Description: They were once Servants of the Lord, but are now backslidded. They no longer have time to preach, pray, nourish people and prepare them for heaven. All their time is taken up with meetings upon meetings. They have become servants of the people. Bad friends, economic hardship and strange teachings have changed them.



Basic Motive: To make it, either by force or by fire. They therefore engage in Church politics. They become cunning, crafty, arm-twisting and they can speak from both sides of the mouth. Their strategic closeness to Church authority make them to determine the transfer, promotion, discipline and suspension of other Pastors that are many times better than them. Character assassination is their modus–operandi.



Demerits: Their Churches always suffer because they are not always around due to frequent meetings. They are spiritually dry, unable to get fresh insight from God and the Church suffers spiritually. They get involve in scandals which they use for their political maneuvering to cover up. Political Pastors needs to return back to the Lord, or else…



Way Out: Remember where you have fallen, repent and return back to the Lord. Stop Church politics and concentrate on the primary job of pastoring, leading, nourishing and preparing people for heaven.



6. OCCULT PASTORS (Revelation 2:20,24: Revelation 3:9)

Description: These are the people who have no business being in the ministry, but they are there all the same. Some are former occult practitioners who claim to be born-again, while others are herbalists and magicians who decide to hood-wink people by modernizing as Pastors. They live double lives. They appear to eat at the Lord’s table but also deal with the devil in secret. They use means and demonic power to perform spurious miracles.



Basic Motives: Their motive is gain, power and control over people. They therefore use candles, coconut, incense, salt, kolanut, sponge, soaps, special baths and native roots as “prayer support.” They engage in fake vision, false prophecy and spurious miracles. They read the sixth and seventh books of Moses. They are usually polygamous and womanizers.



Demerits: Using other means to ‘Jazz’ up the work so that crowds can come; people under bondage and oppression; making people sure children of hell; immorality thrives; witchcraft and calamities in Churches; people dying and losing their destiny in such Churches. Oppressive air of bondage will be thick. No form of godly spirituality among the people. Occult Pastors will always be exposed by their traits and they will lose their ministries sooner or later.



Way Out: True repentance and knowing the Lord afresh, turning away from synagogue of Satan.



7. SHALLOW PASTORS (Zephaniah 3:4)

Description: These are proud, garrulous, self-centered and self-willed Pastors. They are islands; too busy to attend conferences or seminars or listen to anybody’s tape. They believe that everyone should learn from them but they cannot learn from others. Their anointing has grown to the extent that they don’t need to read the Bible everyday, have time of prayer and fast unto the Lord.



Basic Motives: Their motive is to succeed in ministry financially, materially and socially. They therefore spend Church money to buy expensive shoes, clothing, cars and properties. They have nothing to really give to people spiritually. They thrive on stories, noise, demonstrations, pushing people and mimicked styles and prophecies. Their sermon dwell on their worth, wealth and fame.



Demerits: People are fed half truths, lies, motivational talks. They are always on the move, have nothing really to share and give to the people. The people are therefore largely unsaved, canal, sinful, ungodly and religious. They therefore move away to where the grass is green and the water is still. Shallow Pastors will always lose serious Christians to other Churches.



Way Out: Return to the Lord, load yourself and prepare to feed people with balanced diet of the Word.



8. MINISTRY PASTORS

Description: These are ministry-focused Pastors. They are committed to and consumed by the work of the ministry. In their order of priorities, ministry is number one and everything else takes secondary position. These Pastors neglect their families, children and personal lives in the name of doing ministry. Their children are wayward, bitter, uncatered for, angry and unconverted. Their wives are miserable, frustrated, neglected; feel cheated and lonely.



Basic Motives: To fulfill their ministry irrespective of anything or anybody. Their desire is to prove themselves and the readiness to neglect everything for the ministry. They move from crusade to revivals, from prayer mountains to special seminars. They are too spiritual to play, pray, enjoy and relax with their wives, children and family, because sinners are perishing. They are always in a hurry.



Demerits: They experience divorce, have wayward children, unsettled homes and unfulfilled ministry. Their wives become demonized or engage in extra–marital affairs due to frequent absence and lack of care. Pastors that give ministry the number one priority above their God, home and personal development will always experience crisis, breakaway and being forsaken by the Lord.



Lack of peace, progress and tranquility, both in the Church and personal lives will always be the outcome of the mistake of putting ministry before God and your family. Ministry Pastors will always experience burn out and frustration in ministry.



Way Out: Return back to the Lord. Make your God and family as number one and two, and ministry as number three.



9. SICK PASTORS (Revelation 3:14-19)

Description: physically okay but spiritually sick. Sick because they don’t know the Lord, they are sinful, ungodly, evil, immoral and wicked. Though they sometimes find themselves leading large congregations, yet, they preach the Jesus they have not met. They only use their spiritual activities to cover their spiritual unclothedness.



Basic Motives: They don’t know why they are in the ministry. They want to be like the Jones and Joneses. They are copycats. They struggle with sin, evil and low self-image. They take out their anger, sin and frustration on the people. They are sick because they lack basic leadership skill.

They are sick because they are not good examples and role model to follow. They are sick because they operate under curse and disobedience.



Demerits: Destroyed lives of people under them; carnal, covetous, stinginess, unforgiving spirit, and readiness to curse and destroy people who dare question their ungodly activities. They usually kill Churches and cause stagnation by making the saints to sin and backslide. Sick Pastors will always produce sick Churches that will find growth very difficult and stagnation very easy.



Way Out: Repent, seek the Lord, apologize and do a new work.



10. WOUNDED PASTORS

Description: They have experienced back-stabbing, disappointment and calamities in ministry. Their work has dealt them a hard blow. Through some mistakes and ignorance, they have been wounded in ministry. They are therefore bitter, sad, hurting and hateful in the ministry.



Basic Motive: Vengeance, retribution and survival. They have been wounded by sin, devil, people, partners, colleagues and members. Some have lost wives, husbands, children, names, properties and health in the course of doing ministry. Some have deep pain due to betrayal by mentors, leaders, associates and spouses. And the wound is fresh and new.



Demerits: Bleeding hearts, hurtful feelings, lack of trust, discouragements, frustration and quitting the ministry. They don’t help anybody in the ministry again and they are always skeptical of people’s intentions. The unforgiveness in their hearts hinder the flow of God’s spirit in them. As long as you don’t allow the Lord to heal you, your Church will always suffer the hangover of your wounded heart.



Way Out: Release the past; handover your hurts unto the Lord and march on in faith. Forgive and forbear.



11. TECHNOLOGY PASTORS

Description: They are Pastors on the move, who are always on the fast lane of life. Moving from city to city, nation to nation, making money at the expense of the souls under them. They spend weeks away from the Church. They junket from place to place in the name of doing ministry while the Church at home is dying and scattering. They monitor by means of audio and video messages of sermons.



Basic Motive: Money, pleasure and properties. They use God to better their lot in life. Their living standard is above the income of their Church. They always travel for ministration and business deals. While traveling, they continue to monitor the Church through phone, emails, websites, phone-in-conference. They use these technologies to conduct services on Sunday and at vigils. In some cases, they stay permanently abroad and control the Church from there.



Demerits: Their associates are not trusted; they are given responsibilities without authority. The Church goes through turmoil, murmuring and lack of care, nurture and empowering. Such Pastors lose their Churches, their people and they eventually capitulate to the God of mammon, pleasure and fame. They lose their God and their ministry. God usually replace them with capable people who have a heart for things of eternal value.



Way Out: Genuine repentance, restoration and rediscovering the basic purpose of ministry.



12. GROWING PASTORS

Description: Very few, but these are Pastors after God’s heart. They are called and commissioned by the Lord. They pursue a god-given vision.They display high integrity, character, godliness and a heart for things of eternal value. They are not perfect, but growing everyday. They are balanced, learning, open to change and full of the Holy Spirit.



Basic Motive: They desire to make impact for God. They want to see lives, families, nations and cities transformed for the Lord. They have no personal empire to build; rather they want to extend the frontiers of God’s kingdom throughout the whole world. They see ministry as opportunity to serve, help and empower others. They de-emphasize money, gain and pleasure.



Strengths: They invest in people; sharpen their leadership skills; maintain good relational skills; work over their weaknesses, build godly character; empower, equip and enable others to rise up to their highest potentials. They are not threatened by the gift of others. They speak the truth with grace and seek to disciple everyone for the Lord. They ensure that the Church is built on the truth, undiluted and balanced Word of God. They Pastor growing Churches where the people are genuine Christians that continually grow in the things of the Lord. They raise leaders and equip them to carry on the work of God.



Results: Good, great and growing Churches that will go on to affect things positively for God.



CONCLUSION

From these descriptions of twelve kinds of pastors, you can see that only one can really lead the Church to true and sustainable growth. This is the reason why majority of our Churches are sick, stagnant, crisis–ridden and are dying today because they are being pastored by the wrong kind of pastors.



Where are you? You can repent and change today to be a growing Pastor in all ramifications so as to lead the Church into the future.



Stop praising and worshiping your pastor!

Stop looking unto your pastor for help!



May we not labour in vain In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Christianity EtcHow To Find A Local Church And Stay Committed There by biggboy(op): 7:07am On Apr 15, 2018
How To Find A Local Church & Stay Committed There
By Olanrewaju Alonge.

The local church refers to a gathering of believers in a particular location and is a part of the universal church, the body of Christ which consist of believers in every part of the world (Romans 12:5, 1 Corinthians 12:12, Eph 2:12).

Finding a local church, as simple as it may sound requires the wisdom of God’s word and so does getting and staying committed there.
The issue will not be to locate the venue of one especially since there’s almost one or two on every street nowadays.
Deciding on which local church to identify with is a serious matter and should be done PRAYERFULLY AND PURPOSEFULLY.

Its closeness to your place of residence, a common consideration with many people today would be unwise, because many travel sometimes all the way abroad to study or to get medical attention, which is an indication of a desire for the best available, therefore the same attitude should be employed for something as important and eternal as locating a church to attend.

If you take your Christian life seriously, you should choose to attend the best local church around you.
While it’s easy to get carried away by GOOD MUSIC, SHORT MESSAGE & SERVICE (SMS) AND NICE LOOKING USHERS and FIRST TIMER GIFTS AND FOOD PACKS.

Some are even carried away by activities, they are not learning the word of God or growing up spiritually in the church they play the keyboard, play the drums, are in drama group etc.

They would rather be involved in activities than grow up spiritually. Others yet still are in a particular church because “It’s our family church”,” my friends are in the church” or “I have connections there”.
All these considerations though may make sense to the carnal man, have no spiritual benefit.
Before you choose a local church, ask yourself these questions:

1. DO I WANT TO GROW SPIRITUALLY?
If yes, then you must choose to attend a local church where the teaching of God’s word is given first place and every member is closely mentored and monitored to understand every bible doctrine.
WHY? Because spiritual growth will only come with growth in the knowledge of God’s Word - Jesus Christ (John 1:1-5, 9-16, 1Peter 2:2, Acts 20:20).
Spiritual growth will come by the revelation of who Jesus is, all he has done for us and all we can do because we are in Him (Col. 1:9, Eph 1:19, 3:16-19, Philemon 6).

2. DO YOU WANT TO CONSISTENTLY SEE GOD’S DIVINE HAND IN ALL YOUR AFFAIRS IN LIFE?
If yes!
Then you must attend a local church where a lot of time is devoted to prayer and particularly praying in the spirit (in tongues)
WHY?
Because prayer is a demonstration of our trust in and our dependence upon God.
By prayer, great power; God’s power is made available for everyone in life situations and circumstances, thus the bible teaches us to pray fervently (James 5:16) and to pray always in the spirit (Eph 6:18) praying in the spirit is praying in tongues (1 Corinthians 14:2, 4, 15, 18, Jude 20).

3. DO YOU WANT TO WALK IN THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE?
If yes again!
Then you must choose a local church that Is in the will of God.
And how can you tell?
It must be a local church where EVANGELISM and reaching the lost is not treated with levity or taken as a pastime but, is approached with a deep sense of purpose and responsibility and is receive, as a commission of JESUS CHRIST, the head of the church (Matthew 28:18, Mark 16:15-20).
WHY?
Staying in the will of God for your life starts with obeying God in general instructions and paying attention to light in His word with which comes more specific instructions (Romans 12:2).

4. DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FAR ABOVE THE FORCES OF DARKNESS OF THE WORLD?
Again if Yes!
Excitedly so! Then you must attend a local church where there’s an atmosphere of LOVE, JOY AND FAITH IN GOD’S WORD.
WHY?
Because the system of this world is ruled by the god of this world, the devil (2 Cor. 4:4, Eph 2:2).
The believer will only win in life all the time by putting on the whole armor of GOD (Eph 6:10-18)
How is that Possible?
1John 5:4
a faith filled life.

5. DO YOU WANT TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS AND FLOW WITH THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT?
Sure Yes!
Then you must attend a local church where room is given to each one to express things of and things pertaining to the spirit, tongues, interpretations of tongues, prophecies, among other (1Cor. 14:12-15).
WHY!
Because things of the spirit will only improve with practice (1Cor.12:31, 14:39, Hebrews 5:14).
Staying committed to this local church must be with the understanding that the local church is God’s plan for the believer, a place where he has a pastor who teaches and trains him spiritually, who is responsible to bring to him correction, reproof, and instructions in righteousness
(2 Timothy 3:16).

The local church therefore has spiritual leaders who have Christ’s authority to lead you (Heb 13:7) and your response to them must thus be submission in love and obedience as unto God (Heb 13:17).
Have a great weekend , We Win!

Christianity EtcWho Really Needs An Help Meet? by biggboy(op): 10:13am On Apr 08, 2018
Genesis 2:18 "KJV:And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."





There comes a time in the life of a man or woman where God decides that it is no longer good for him or her to be alone again.

There is time and season for everything under the heavens and following God's time is the best decision ever.



So therefore, God provides an help meet i.e someone suitable, fit and complimentary to him or her.



Before you seek this help meet, you need to ask yourself this question, has God said it is not good for me to be alone?





Marriage is not for boys or girls, it is for matured men and women.





Who is an help meet?



The term help meet is coined from two words, help and meet. To Help is to provide assistance to (someone or something). To meet is to be suitable, right and proper.



So therefore, an help meet is assistance provided by someone suitable, right and proper.



Genesis 2:18"AMP:Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him."





From the Bible reference above, the Lord does not promise just any type and kind of help, rather a suitable, adaptable and complementary helper.



The helper God is sending will help without adding terms and conditions before, during or after rendering the help.





You are not ready for marriage until you are financially, spiritually and emotionally ready.







Who Really Needs An Help Meet?



Everyone needs help at one point or another, but not everyone needs an help meet.



From our biblical Background, God says it is not good that the man, not a boy, not a teen not even a youth to be alone.



Genesis 2:24"KJV:Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."





From the Bible reference above again, the Lord made emphasis that the search for an help meet is not for boys, girls and teenagers.

The search is for matured, tested and proven MEN and WOMEN.



As a brother don't look for an help meet if;



1. You don't have a job or prospects.



2. You can't take responsibility.



3. You can't take decisions.



4. You are not born again.



5. You don't have a mission/ vision.



6. You are not ready and mature in all areas.





As a sister, don't look for an help meet if;



1. You are not born again.



2. You cannot submit.



3. You cannot cook and take care of the house.



4. You don't have a goal and purpose.



5. You are not ready and mature in all areas.





Do you really need an help meet now? Goto God!







A person who really loves you will not encourage or lead you into premarital sex because it is a sin against God. Avoid premarital sex today and always.



Why Do I Need An Help Meet?



Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 "

(9)KJV:Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

(10) KJV:For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."



From the Bible reference above, having an help meet improves your output and productivity. Also, if one falls, because he has an help meet, it won't be for long because the help meet will lift the fellow that fell.



Furthermore, we need an help meet for geometric progression because one shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to flight. (Deuteronomy 32:30)



1 Corinthians 7:2"KJV:Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."





From the Bible reference above, to avoid fornication and any other sexual immorality, we need an help meet. However, this is not the primary reason why you need an help meet.





Remember, until you God's says it is not good for you to be alone, you do not need an help meet!





Love may blind you from seeing the truth but marriage will definitely open your eyes to reality.





An help meet is meant to help, support and assist you with a task or job that you are doing. If you are not doing anything and you do not even have a plan or schedule to do anything, then you do not need an help meet!



If you do not have a future, a bright one to be precise, then you do not need a future partner!



While waiting for your help meet, you need to have a serious and fervent relationship with God first. You need to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and even your body.



How do you know if you love God?



John 14:21"AMP:The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]"



From the Bible reference above, only those who keeps the commandments of God by being obedient truly and really loves him.



If you are not yet born again, you do not love him, if you are still living in sin and claiming to be born again, that his grace is sufficient, you do not love him.



Accept Jesus today, confess and forsake your sin and all will be well with you!





You either enjoy or endure your marriage, if you involve God, you will enjoy it, if you don't then you are on your own.

Too many new elements introduced too fast nearly killed the show. Honestly, if its renewed for another season and nothing changes, I'll be done with the show. This is simply the worst season of the series.

Christianity EtcIs It Good For Married People To Watch Porn? by biggboy(op): 9:00am On Mar 25, 2018
I strongly disagree that married couples should involve in it. The porn stars are demonized.

Why should you watch demons in action in order for you to enjoy your sex life? Sex is a

Beautiful gift from God to be enjoyed within the main institution. There are other ways you can enjoy your sex life with your spouse than resort to pornography. Most addicts eventually do not enjoy sex with their spouses because they have a superficial learning of sex in porn.



They expect their spouses to be wild on bed during all sorts of Gymnastics. When they're don't see this, they are disappointed. Some married couples watch pornography and they think it is ok. It is very wrong.



How can you look at another woman's unclothedness in order to make love to your own wife? Do they have the same body?

Some men watch pornography and begin to compare their wives body parts to the ones they watch or have seen.



That is why sexual abstinence remains the best. You will have no reason to compare your spouse in bed with your previous sexual partners.

Some women who watch pornography will begin to complain about the size of their husband’s manhood later. How did they know the size, whether it is too small or too thin, they have defiled their eyes before then. You will now see their husbands being concerned and begin to use things for penis enlargement or elongation; At the expense of their health.



The damaging effect of pornography is too much to be written, I pray God opens our eyes of understanding in Jesus name, Amen.



Some men after seeing other women's body parts while watching pornography becomes sexually frustrated with their wives.

This has led to many involving in adultery, they don't understand that those things they watch are not as real as they think.



If I get this question correctly, does it mean that you are watching porn and you have seen no side-effects? There is no way someone indulges in sin and will have no side effects.

Romans 6:23 Amplified Bible (AMP)’’23:For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.’’

It does not change, you might not see the consequences immediately but it does not free you from its negative consequences.



Pornography it like a slow poison, it destroys gradually. It is like a time bomb; some might take time before they explode committing fornication or adultery, but one day, they might just fall into the sin except they repent. Besides, the time you spend watching it can be channelled to do something more profitable







On improving your spiritual and physical life. God expects each and every one of us to be His voice.

Preach the word. If God has delivered you from it, allow God to use you bring others out.



When Bathsheba was taking her bath, she would probably not have expected David to look but he looked. We must be good examples to unbelievers by dressing well. Men are attracted by sight.

There's no valid excuse for spiritual deficiencies.



Provision for cure has been made available in Christ. If you don't look at the CROSS and live, you'll look at the devil and die. If we must manifest, we must embrace holiness within and without.



In conclusion, married couples should not watch pornography, if we must attain sexual purity, it is both for the single and the married ones.



Don't be ashamed to share your testimony.

Remember that you are saved to serve.

Do not die in silence.

Be firm in your decision.

Be accounted to a minister of God or a matured believer.



If you are willing to come out of this bad habbit, pray: "Loud Jesus I accept you as My Lord and personal Saviour, come into my life"



After doing this, now tell God to release you from sexual addictions, burn the bridges that may want to take you back there



Don't allow the devil use you as a live pornography to make others fall!



May God bless us all.

Christianity EtcDivine Direction by biggboy(op): 12:35pm On Mar 11, 2018
What is divine direction? Simply put is guidance or instructions on what to do and where to go and how to get there from above.
A man without divine direction will only be running in a circle, with nothing to show for it.
Your direction has a lot to do with your location and your location determines whether God will visit you or not.

In Genesis 12:1 "KJV:Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:" God gave father Abraham a divine direction here to go an unknown location, what did he do? He obeyed!

Do you know if father Abraham had not obeyed he will not be called father of many nations? The direction came to him when he was 75 years old without a child, if he had remained in the land of UR, he would have died fatherless!
Divine direction also has timing, you must go only when go says you should go.
Many are not where they ought to be because they refused to heed to the divine direction God has revealed unto them maybe because the location is unknown or it is not a place they want to be.
Wherever he directs you to go or to do, go and you will be glad you did.

One thing we must know is that, God is the best director; not your pastor, parent, spouse or any other person. God can only direct you when the following are not in your life;

1. Pride: If there is pride in you, don't expect God's direction rather expect direction from the devil and the end of such direction is destruction.

2. Self Will: When you have a very strong self will, you may not likely know when God is directing you. In fact, if the direction is outside of your own personal conviction, you say it's the devil speaking whereas it's God trying to direct you.

3. Abundance Of Sin: When you harbor sin in your heart, don't expect God's direction. Because when God directs he/she wallowing in the gutter of sin will not be able to know.
Jesus says in John 10:27" KJV:My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" This Scripture makes us to understand that only his sheep will be directed because they know when their Shepherd is leading them.

Are you among his sheepfold?

God can only direct you when you are among his sheepfold and ready to listen when he directs.


The Director And The Directed

The Director: There are basically two directors; God and Satan. The best way to know the director is the destination of such direction. When God directs he gives you an expected end - Jeremiah 29:11"
KJV:For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." However, when Satan directs he gives you sorrow, he steals, destroys and ultimately kills - John 10:10a" KJV:The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:"



HOW TO GET DIVINE DIRECTION

There are basically two ways to get direction.

1. God Can Give You Divine Direction: God can give you divine direction by himself.
He said in Psalms 32:8" KJV:I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." Here God wants to instructs, teach and guide you into the direction you should go.
He also directed father Abraham in Genesis 12:1" KJV:Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:"

2. You Can Ask For Direction From God: There is an adage in Yoruba which says" abere ona koni sina"(English: He who asks for directions will not be mislead" In case God has not yet given you a direction, you can ask him for one. David on several occasions enquired directions from the Lord - I Samuel 30:8" KJV:And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all."

In 1Chronicles 14:10" KJV:And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand." Here God told David to go because he has got his back.
David enquired from God, in the later part of that same chapter in verse 14" KJV:Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees." Here God told him not go after the philistines.

David did not use his initiative, rather he enquired from the Lord.

In conclusion, if God has not yet directed you, please go before him to ask for divine direction.

Christianity EtcI Call My Wife Baby..interview With Leke Adeboye And Wife by biggboy(op): 10:28am On Mar 11, 2018
Hello Mr and Mrs Adeboye, it has taken 7 mountains and 7 hills but thank God we are here now.

Thank you so much for agreeing to do this! It’s a delight to be able to hear your story and more importantly, share to bless people. Could we please start off with a brief introduction?



Leke: (Introducing his wife): Introduction of Mrs Titilope Rachel Adeboye.. How do I introduce this fine hot lady?

She is the first born of her family of 4. Raised by amazing parents! That’s one of the things that personally pulled me to feeling the girl - her wonderful character. Like, I got to know her and if your parents can trust you enough in this day and age to give you all your school fees at once and the card to their accounts for you to withdraw money as the need arises, at will – then that says a lot about you.. That says a LOT about you.. Forget that she’s my wife, for any random girl – that is still amazing! Lol

What else, she runs me! She’s my Manager, I call her my CEO.. She’s my Account Manager, she runs my entity as a personality and then she runs a number of businesses - Oasis Suya Eatery and Sharwama and she’s also the owner of Mimi’s Confectionery.

My wife is multi-skilled and multi-talented and takes every advantage to improve herself. Whatever she sets her mind on, she would do it! And she CAN do it! I'm proud of that and I basically support, support support!. She studied Mass Communication in University and got a First Class from behind a 2:1 (laughter).. I take responsibility for that, that was actually my fault! She had actually made up her mind not to go into any relationship with anyone until she finished University.... But me, I saw a good thing and jumped in mehn! So I guess I caused a bit of a distraction (I’m sorry baby!). She followed it up with a Masters in International Business at Loughborough University. She’s a mother of one (well actually 2, our baby and I, lol)..She’s amazing and has done a fantastic job of it!

And yeah, she’s HOT as in HoTTTTTT!



Titi: My name is Titilope Adeboye. I am a child of the most High God. A wife and mum. I would describe myself as a very simple person really. I love to read, bake, travel and have fun with my family. Whether it be watching movies with my husband or singing *Twinkle Twinkle little star* with my daughter haha. I love doing it all. I am the CEO of Mimi’s Confectionery and I also manage my husband’s eateries.

How would I describe my husband?! Oluwagbemileke temi nikan is just a sweetheart, an incurable romantic haha.. Ma Papi. He is so fun and charming and never believes anything is impossible. He is my adviser, motivator and so much more. I just love this man and thank God for him every day.



How did you meet?



Titi: Well, it was in my third year in Uni. His mum always made sure I had a meal from their home on Sundays, and whenever she was around, she would ask about school and all – she is sweet like that. I wasn’t the only one she did that to though.. My parents were not in Nigeria at that time and Mummy (as I refer to her) was just trying to make sure I was Ok.

So this particular Sunday, I went to dinner in his house, I was in a hurry because I had a test the next day. I came in through the gate and noticed that he was standing there talking to a couple of people and everyone was laughing, I just greeted everyone. That was the first time I saw him, I didn't know him then at all.

When I was leaving the house, I heard someone running after me and I saw that it was him. He stopped me and said "Hi, I was just told you are Pastor Odesola’s daughter. I didn’t know Pastor Odesola had a grown-up daughter. He used to be my mentor".. and he just kept on talking about my dad! Then he said "I am really pleased to meet you. Can I have your number so I can check up on you" – I gave him my number and left. That was how we met really. He was just like a big brother.



What is the journey from Hi to 'I Do'like?



Titi: Honestly, I did not think that we would end up married or anything! I just found him so funny, no dull moment at all – he just lights up the room. But I didn’t see him like that.. {Ayo you know what I mean now (lol)}.

He was like my brother I loved him that way. Infact when he asked me to marry him, I didn’t see that coming. I was just shocked and I said NO.

First, I had plans – I wanted to do this and that before I even considered anyone, then 'Leke'?, really?! Pastor Adeboye’s son!! All eyes on me; NO, NO!. I love my simple life, thank you very much. I didn’t even want to pray about it, just in case God said 'Yes'.. Lol.. Can you imagine that? Hahaha

Poor man, eni eleni. He asked me to at least pray about it. I later decided to pray about it, fasted.. Sought counsel from my mum and dad.

It took a bit of work to change my mind set. Then one day, he said to me. "Your life doesn’t end when you become my wife, it just continues with me in it. You can still do everything you want, and as long as we are doing the right things, acceptable to God, I don’t care what anyone thinks or says".

It was as if I had never heard that before. I saw a man that loved and cared and would stand up for his wife anyday. I thought it was absolutely sweet.

Honestly, today I can definitely say - Leke is my perfect man – He gets me, knows me big time!

What is the decision to wait to have sex after marriage like?

Titi: We thought to ourselves, "What’s the rush for anyway?" We used to remind each other that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. Also, we were determined as well. We had gone on many dates but in places where other people were, in order to minimize temptations.



So where you tempted?



Titi: Yes of course! This man that I really loved, with his sweet charming self, eyes that are just beautiful. Sometimes I just thank GOD we were not alone hehehe (that’s all I’m saying!) hahaha

Honestly, practical measures – Don’t be alone for too long, speak on the phone, text, go on dates in public places, watch that movie in the cinema instead of his or your bedroom (you know what I mean.. lol). Don’t tempt the devil to tempt you.



So, what would you say to young people who say waiting before marriage is 'old-school' or unachievable in this day and age?



Titi: Well I would say that it’s a wrong perspective. We sometimes let emotions run wild. Ok, let me paint a picture – If a cute mad person, male or female, as in really crazy fellow with knives and all says – "Darling I love you, I want to have sex with you", will you run or stay? I bet you will be disgusted, embarrassed and run too. That’s how we should feel about sin. We need to be different as children of God, shine the light, in obedience to God.. What made Joseph in the bible stand out was because he was different - he refused to defile himself with his Master's wife (You can read about this in Gen 39:1-23). It's not just even in the area of sexual sin alone, but also in everything else. Having that spirit of excellence like Daniel and the 3 Hebrew boys. For me, I'm thinking "If I do this, will Jesus commend my actions, thoughts or words?" (Philippians 4:cool. Please, don't be pressured into doing what is wrong.

Sometimes, it’s not an easy price to pay. But I can tell you that the benefits are immeasurable.

And for anyone waiting for that perfect partner, Jesus is never too late... Please don't sell yourself short - It is better to enjoy a lifetime of bliss than just one wedding day and the rest is hell!

Being married has its ups and downs but God has been there for us through it all.... I can testify!





How did you meet your lovely wife?



Leke: Hmm How did we meet?

My wife already said this but I will say it again, I did not know that my mentor had a daughter or anything like that – slight selfishness on my part as I was only after his mentoring.. Well he later told me a few times that his daughter was in the University at the Redemption Camp (RUN) so I’m like "Ok, let’s check out who this daughter is" so that I won’t have to lie next time he asked “Did you see my daughter”, lol.. And then I saw her.. hmm.. you know – she wasn’t initially my type.. Maybe because I travel a lot. I have types.. I have met too many people - which can be a good thing or a bad thing.. This is because 'too many people' means that you have too many choices and it’s no longer God’s choice for you.

You have an idea in your head, and once you fill your head with ideas of what you want, you kinda push God out so there’s no space for God in your ideas – which can be very bad! Anyways, moving on swiftly.

All I did was just collect her number.. "Let me just check up on you, I know your dad"etc. I just collected her number and walked away. Afterwards, I would send a text once in a while – "how are you doing?" "God bless you", "How was uni today?" "Any gist?, any story?" And once in a while I would share a story of work or whatever I was doing. I like jokes – so sometimes, I would share a joke with her, ask her a question, you know, just gist and ideas - building friendship.



So how did you translate from friendship to knowing that this was it? That she was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with?



Leke: Well, I have to say here that I had a list (lol)... Initially my parents asked me who I was interested in and if I had been praying – You know we had THAT talk and I had a list of about 10 different girls that I thought were the one(!). I told them to pick one and they were like “You are not ready” and promptly tore up the list. Mehn, I had to go and start from ground zero and obviously cancel my list (hahaha).

I decided to ask God to give me His own list of what I should want in a woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with.. I have to tell you, it was a journey – for guys, it’s usually a journey, especially if you are about to sign off your life completely. It’s a journey – between you trusting God and hearing God and listening and being able to understand ways in which God talks to you (this is why it is important to know how God talks to you, and not just wait till when you are about to get married before you start hearing from God).

But anyway, how did I know she was IT? Like I said in my introduction initially, there are just some certain characters in a person that works out for me which my wife clearly exhibited - She’s a perfect blend. I come from a family where confidentiality is very important. Also, there are certain things we can do and certain things we cannot do. We understand that you don’t just live holy but you have to be an example to others as well.



Furthermore, I was asking God to show me the future and not the now. Most people don’t look at the future.. To be real, my wife did not look as hot then as she does now! When I met her, I wasn’t looking at now, but at the future.. And this is what, only 4 or 5 years ago.. (Cause I had to wait for her. I had to wait for her to finish Uni. I had to wait for her to go and finish NYSC – that’s another 1 year! I had to wait for her to go and start Masters!) But that Masters own was not too bad because her father was going to pay lol. You know because once you marry somebody (which some people don’t know), their everything becomes your everything – their debt becomes your debt, their money becomes your money, their broke-ness becomes your broke-ness, including their school fees becomes your school fees.. Omo for the Masters, wisdom profiteth LOL. In everything, get understanding – so I 'understood' and I said let the girl start Masters before we marry, that way she’s still her Dad’s responsibility (Amen? Hahaha). Afterwards, I had to pay for her expenses at University as we were now married (LOL – her father and I shared the responsibility) I digress

But I knew she was the one.. It was just clear – at the time, God just hit me like “Hey, you’ve been looking all around in different locations when all you need is just 10mins drive from your house – right there! Don’t worry, stop flying everywhere – I have already provided her for you. Don’t fly anywhere, I will fly her to you" – just like He did it for Elijah when he was hungry (1Kings 17).. Yes I knew she was the one. And it’s easy to spend the rest of your life with somebody like that!





So, what made you make the decision to wait?



Leke: I honestly believe that for a guy it’s harder to wait! But one of the things is this – in any relationship, in any friendship, you guys should have boundaries and agreements that you 'sign' from the word go. It’s like a covenant –this relationship, we have rules at the beginning, sit down, let’s talk – if people are going out/dating/courting, if they don’t have the sit-down talk of ‘these are the dos and don’ts', and set out expectations, I'm sorry but they are just joking, they are not ready yet.

So I had to wait, and assure her that there would be times I would not be on the 'mountain', there would be times I would not be ‘spiritual’ and would be very carnal, and that she should please remind me that all of this (which is her) would be mine for the rest of our lives, after we finish the ‘I dos' . At that time I was about to turn 30 and if we are supposed to live an average of 70 in the world (which by God’s grace we will live longer), that means I have 40+ years left to spend with her, so why won’t I wait?







Where you tempted?


Leke: Haa, temptations full ground. Like Fried rice at a rich man’s wedding.. Of course it was hard; it wasn’t that easy, especially when you’re left in the same place, especially when your wife is extremely hot like mine, yeah it is hard! But God helped us, but I won’t lie, it was hard. I Struggle sef!



So now that you have crossed that line, what would you say to your single self?



Leke: Haa to my single self? I should have not wasted all that money on the girls before! Oh my days! All the birthday parties that I have paid for in life lool. (Because you know if you really want to get a girl {advice to all single brothers out there} you have to parley with all her friends..If you are buying gifts for the girl, buy for all her friends, if the girl is doing birthday, celebrate for all her friends! lol.. If you can win over the friends, you are ok! If you can win all the 12 disciples, you have won over Jesus – all the best with Judas Iscariot though, because there’s always going to be one (hahaha).



Don’t date as many people, I know they say it’s to gain experience but at the same time, it’s a problem because it comes back to bite you. Some relationships are more difficult to break off from, there are some scars that will heal but the mark will still be there. There are some heartbreaks that you don’t need. Being dumped by certain girls was not a good look and doing so to girls is not a good look either. Just stay faithful to God.. Don’t try and listen to methods that the 'world' or popular opinion gives you in terms of how to relate with women. When Jesus said that He will send the Holy Spirit to us to teach us all things (John 14:26), He did not actually mean just spiritual things.. Me I won’t lie, it was the Holy Spirit that taught me how to toast my wife. I thought I was going to use the same old school methods that I normally used, but that did NOT work.. It took me a while to understand the way. So literally I had to learn how to toast with the help of the Holy Spirit - And that was amazing to be honest because the Holy Spirit has insider information on the girl you are toasting more than you could ever have yourself (Note though, the Holy Spirit will only help you to toast the one that He has told you that you will end up with oh!)



So, could you tell us 3 great things about being married to your wife?



Leke: One of the things I prayed to God for was a non-regular Nigerian wife - like I don’t want to be eating eba, I don’t want to be eating asaro onisu gigan all the time lol. I like things that are exotic, at the same time enjoyable. I like somebody that likes to try new things because I don’t want to be stuck in my ways (generally, if you are already stuck in your ways, it’s more difficult for God to speak to you and change you and move you forward).. And my wife can cooook! My wife tries different things all the time - Italian, Chinese, Nigerian, Portuguese, Spanish Paella, name it! She buys cookbooks too to spice things up! – (yeah) I am a very happy man!



Secondly, I desired someone that would not come into my family as a minus but as an addition and my wife has been a great addition to my family. My mum LOVES her, as in at the beginning I was jealous because they even loved her more than me! I don’t want to say anymore (I don’t want her head to 'swell' too much joh)



Thirdly, her spending habits! You see some people would think that when they collect offerings in RCCG parishes, a percentage will be deposited in my account – NO, it’s not family business lol.. So even the little finances that I have, my wife knows how to manage it. Recently, I was at an airport about to come back home – I called my wife I said “Baby, I saw this beautiful (expensive) bag, do you want it?" My wife replies me and says no, "I need a pair of oven gloves and an apron, that’s all I want".. As in, I cannot lie, I was seriously trippped, like honestly, it’s only God that can give you a wife like this!... Even me personally, if you call me to ask me that, even if I don’t want the bag, I can ask you to bring the money (haha).



Another time, I gave her money to go on a trip and she returned the change! I wasn’t expecting that (Not that she doesn’t have her money, but I take pride in my responsibility as her husband to provide for her). You see if you have someone like that that can manage you, manage your life, somebody that is there for not just her own interest but for your own interest as well in every way. Come on, what else do you want? Somebody like that, you will literally die for the person.



Can I say this to all other married men or men out there that are willing to marry? I usually ask them "Are you ready?" You see, because the bible says something, “Husbands love your wives like Christ loved the church" (Ephesians 5:25) and I always ask people - What did Christ do for the church? He died for the church! If you haven’t found a babe that you know that you are willing to truly die for, then you haven’t found the right one or you have found the right one and you are not ready. Then don’t waste anybody’s time when you’re not ready..

I’ll be honest; YES I’m ready to die for this woman! I’m serious.. I’m ready to die for my wife, I’ve signed a contract.. That’s the level we are right now. I asked God for a perfect wife – the one that matched me, that meets my own needs and He gave me one, so in return, I should do what He did. #Dassal











What a great way to conclude the interview! Of course you all should know my favorite part. The part where he talks about how much a man should love his wife and be willing to sacrifice for her.

Another thing I love was the realness in his admission that waiting before marriage was not a 'walk in the park' - it was sure difficult, but by the grace of God and mutual agreement and accountability, they were able to do it - that's wonderful. I thank God for their experience and for the grace that He gives each and every one of us to obey Him. It doesn't matter how far we've gone, He's reaching out today to let us know that "My grace is sufficient for you" (2Corinthians 12:9) You only need to be willing...Thank you.
