Many Christians depend upon their human abilities too much that they lost the touch and power of the divine. They go astray completely from God, over-dependent upon their mental, social, financial and physical strenghts. They fail to grasp the mystery Jesus unfolds due to their impatience and self understanding of what they feel and think Jesus meant to say. When Jesus says halle, they assume he was going to say halleluyah. When he says praise, they conclude he will say praise God. These believe that they are rich and that the poor in spirit that Jesus talked about are people without spiritual gifts and powers in our local churches and assemblies. Jesus did not speak about these. He showed us examples of how to be poor in spirit in many ways. He refused to PROVE his might and ability before satan who demanded that he turns stones to bread. He refused to SHOW that he has power to usher down thousands of angels from heaven to fight for him. Many who could not heal a common cold without first having to fast for 21 days are addressed as mighty men of God, today. May God in his infinite grace and mercy break us down and make us fit for the kingdom service in humility and power in Jesus name, amen. |
A clarion call for Family Arbitration Commission! |
No regret. Go single and get married again not leaving your home. START A FIGHT! Don't invite me o because your hubby might be my client! N101: |
The point is a call by any Christian Clergy for the carriage of arms as a means of self defence is not scriptural by biblical standpoint. However, why I do not aim at promoting ethnic/religious violence, great Nigerian masses need one form of defensive/protective weapon. The big question in my mind is who do I need this weapon to attack: the man who is fighting for equality and just distribution of the nation's resources or the pastor who enriches himself/his families at the expense of the poor/impoverished members of the church community? I'm sorry but a call for any form of social and national aggression in Nigeria should not come from any Nigerian clergymen. May be pastor Tunde Bakare could speak on this issue too. |
That was one problem with most single and many married ladies: PRETENSE! I teach/encourage ladies to be frank, honest and as natural as possible so their guys would love, trust and respect them for who they are. |
My input to this topic is an advice to get a marriage mentor at whatever age. I married at 20, became a father at 21 and now a grandpa at 48 with many marriage troubles for my lack of a mentor but now a fulfilled man due to many experiences. Yes! Early Marriage at 21 has more advantages but only with a professional marriage mentor as a beautician is to an actress. |
@poster. My marriage was 28 years young this september but I had your kind of problem for many years before God stepped in. It was that bad I gave her a notebook to jot in just one issue of interest to her we could talk about per day but she would not. She was too much of a Phleg for my liking: quite, lonely, moody and paranoid without any iota of humour or tendency to crack jokes. I felt bad because I loved her and I wanted her to be my best friend and companion but she turned out to be a thorn in my flesh. All that have gone into history because we are the best of friends on earth today. We are so proud of our pasts that we turned our stories into ebooks so many would learn from them. To your issue I will suggest you contact a professional marriage counselor who would do a psychologic test on your natures and temperaments so he would get to the route of the problem. Without mixing words, based on my 28 years marital and 13 years counseling experiences, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM and no one can help you until you are ready to help yourself. |
It's unfortunate that many christians fight spiritual battles with human weapons and humanity problems with spiritual weapons. They pray and fast for financial success that a simple financial intelligence course would solve; they go wild on matters that are best solved through prayers and intercessions. If CAN's reported call for Nigerians to carry arms is true, I'm afraid we are telling the world that our God is not what relying/depending upon. Pardon! |
What a slap on good people of Nairaland! |
Life as a single pleasantly offers the right to choices but the married has {no} pleasure in one choice only. |
My worry is about the fact that most christians are either extremely rightists or leftists on many issues including issues of love and romance. Personaly, I do not see any wrong writing or reading "christian romance" as long as it does not promote infidelity. The other side of this is that due to the "dirtiness" in the minds of many writers and readers of these romance novels, they might encourage bad acts and practices. In a word, writing christian romance novel to promote purity in love, relationship and marriage is not a bad idea. |
Missy B is absolutely correct. Its not how much you served him but how best he enjoys your services. So being a good wife is not enough to keep your man but being his FRIEND INDEED. |
Talk to your pastor. Get him wed you/ pronounce you and your spouse a husband and a wife during a regular holy communion service in church on a sunday. The holy communion is more sacred than the meal you would have served your cash wasters. A special wedding offering should be collected from the occasion, with 90% to the pastor and 10% to the wedding committee to get yot a wedding gift. Invest your would-have-been wasted 100,000k in shares, stocks or send it to me as your counsellor!!! |
Marriage was established by God; making it a sacred and a worthy institution. The degree or measure of joy your marriage produces depends largely on how much you know about why God wants you to marry a particular spouse. Marriage is worth it but each marriage partner must see marriage as a means of serving God by supplying what his/her partner and every other person attached to the marriage lacks on a daily basis. |
kistehsia: |
You shared an experience that's pleasant and I like that, especially as a white lady. I'm not too sure this works with many black marriages. I know a marriage in which the wife is 2years older than her husband and she demands that he respects that age difference. I'm not talking about the normal respect for feminine dignity but respect for the age difference. This is a true story. All the best. kistehsia: |
How I wish that somebody with a person experience would contribute to this post because this question is helpful to many young adults. |
I do not speak for pastors but I'm sure pastors are as human as anybody: loving, romantic, sensual and lively. |
I asked my daughter this particular question few years back who replied with an emphatic no! Her arguement was that pastors' major concern is about going to heaven while she believed in living life to the fullest leaving the issue of heaven to Jesus Christ according to John 14. I have learnt many lessons from that statement from my teenage daughter than many sermons from my pastors. One of those lessons is to live as human as possible: lively, lovely, sensual, happy, humoros, real and practical be you a pastor or a president as long as you live it God's Way! So, if I was a woman I would have married a pastor: Pastor Chris Oyakhilome being my first choice then Pastor Tunde Bakare and the likes of them!rried a pastor: Pastor Chris Oyakhilome being my first choice then Pastor Tunde Bakare and the likes of them! |
CHIMSKY:Yours suggests to me that you're a pastor. I have a great passion for evangelism: crusading, church planting/development and church workers training. My entire life and dream was built on this passion since September 13, 1978 at age 18 when I gave my life to Christ. I was sold out to this passion that I lost all: education, wealth, enjoyment, pleasure, etc, serving God in churches and ministries that I became a full time minister in 1993 having resigned my appointment as a civil servant. I was thrown out of my ministerial career as a church administrator in July 2008 at age 45. Please don't ask me why because my boss gave me not any reason whatsoever for her decision. Any reason I may be compelled to suggest would be imaginary! To my point relative to this post: I am 48 years old in age. I can't start a church because God commands me not to. I can run a bible college but I haven't got the money to do that. My church is a good ground to launch me as a seminar facilitator, etc but would not for matters of protocol and internal <crisis>. One better option I considered as a possible solution is to seek job employment in any field with my WASCE or D.Th to raise money. My question is what are my chances of being getting a job and how may I? Sincerely. lling Session @ 0806 668 6769. [quote][/quote]Yours suggests to me that you're a pastor.

Please send this to me too. I can do anything with a static website but knows little about php. My email address is adamsconcept@gmail.com Thanks. |
Marriage is a business like all other businesses that the two partners involved fail to see and run as one. It is the lack of understanding of this fact that has been responsible for marriage failures. You go to school to become a lawyer, a doctor and an engineer. You serve a master to learn a trade and a vocation. You have a mentor, couselor and an adviser in respect of your business proposals and projects. You attend seminars, workshops and conferences to learn new ways and methods of doing things for efficiency and proficiency but when it comes to marriage you are a prophet and a professor! Marriages will continue to fail and be horrible to many as long as people get married without marriage education, I mean MARITAL STUDIES with appropriate curriculum something similar to or better than the marriage project of http://www.gracefem.com |
The problem of non-compliance in children and that of juvenile deliquency are subject of child development and empowerment psychology that informed my passion to write an ebook titled CHILD EMPOWERMENT PSYCHOLOGY available on http://www.gracefem.com to help parents, children teachers and guardians. |

I witnessed an occurence many years back in which the child did not stop crying untill a deliverance minister had prayed for her. You may contact your pastor. Markenny: |
Many of the children who exhibit anti-social behaviours in our society and many with modern but ungodly social practices and fashion belong to families with strong religious affiliations. My question is how may I, as a Christian, bring up my three months old baby to be socially relevant without compromising my religious value and ethics regarding fashion, party, dancing and sport as practiced today and encourages by school teachers and church leaders? I did my best at http://www.gracefem.com as a marriage counselor which may not be good enough compared to yours! |
Shade is a youth corper, serving in Kano State of Nigeria. Her parents live apart, one in Oyo and the other in Owo. Her 70 year old father lives on charity while here mother is a bakery as a cleaner. She is their only child. Shade hates her mother for being unfriendly and manly. Shade thought of getting married and move straight into her matrimonial home immediately after her service. She fell for Jide, and became pregnant for him almost immediately. She is carrying a seven month old pregnancy for him when she discovered that Jide is legally married to Sola with three kids. He has no job but lives with his mother together with Sola and his three kids in Akoko Edo. Jide informed his mom who met with Shade’s parents taking responsibility for the pregnancy with a promise to get Shade and Jide legally married after the delivery of Shade’s pregnancy. Shade cannot marry Jide because of Jide’s legal marriage to Sola. She doesn’t want to go and live with her mom in Owo because of what the emotional torture she would go through by her mother who is not happy that she did not fall in love with Mr. Rich! She cannot go to live with her dad in his rented one-room face-me-I-slap you apartment in Oyo. And, she cannot move into Jide’s mother’s house at Akoko Edo together with Jides’ wife and family. The only option left, to the best of my knowledge is to stay back in Kano even after her delivery but her frustration and depression is that Jide is jobless and cannot support her financially. What would you advice Shade to do? I run free marriage counseling at htt://www.gracefem.com who do not believe in a monopoly of ideas, knowledge and advice. |
Its not all marriages that started well end well not because marriage is bad but because marriage partners do not know why they should become partners and how the partnership should run. No one becomes a lawyer, a doctor or a banker who didn't go to school but everybody is a professor when it comes to marriage. That's why marriages are failing and will continue to be untill we all admit our ignorance with a radical decision to accepting marriage as a profession to be learnt and mastered, turning away from convetionalism to fundamentalism. Someday many will embrace my marriage project at http://www.gracefem.com |
I will name my children: Oluwaseyi, Oluwadarasimi, Oluwaferanmi, Oluwadamilare, Oluwadamilola, Oluwarantimi, Oluwafemi, Oluwaseun, Oluwatosin, Oluwaponmile, Oluwagbeminija, OpeOluwa, AanuOluwa, OgoOluwa, etc, which simply means that I will not give my children any name that does not have God attached! Why? Its my personal decision which also means that you can give your child any name of your choice and taste. However, religious leaders and teachers say that what name you call your child may influence his/her life negatively or positively too. That is why the name GOODLUCK is generally applauded as the power behind our Nigerian president's achievements! |

I was in the ocean of marriage trouble for 25 years (1983-2008) before God finally paddled the boat of my marriage to the shore of peace and comfort. He had put me in the school of marriage for 25 years, using my home for practical marriage analysis and experimentations. Dr. Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbeze, Publisher of the Nigeria’s number one Multiple Streams of Income “Success Digest Extra!” Newspaper teaches that one’s negative encounters and experiences in life could be converted to cash. I agree with him but rather than I, converting my negative marriage encounters and experiences to cash, I wish to dedicate it to millions of people in my old shoes, putting smiles on their faces while YOU, the reader of this piece makes fortunes from my expertise. So, I here submit that you can profit from the marriage industry without being married. That's what I here offer to teach you! |
