Christianity EtcHumility And Power by cexplorer(op): 1:34am On Nov 27, 2011
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.

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.
RomanceRe: Why Are You Single? by cexplorer(m): 2:49pm On Sep 14, 2011
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.
FamilyRe: Effects Of Early Marriage by cexplorer(m): 2:26pm On Sep 14, 2011
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.
FamilyRe: My Wife Just Doesn't Want To Bond And Grow With Me by cexplorer(m): 11:10am On Sep 14, 2011
@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.
PoliticsRe: Allow Nigerians To Carry Guns - Christian Association Of Nigeria. by cexplorer(m): 10:22am On Sep 14, 2011
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!

Christianity EtcRe: Christian Romance Novel. Is It For Real? by cexplorer(m): 6:42pm On Sep 13, 2011
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.
FamilyRe: Is Being A "good" Wife Enough To Keep A Man ? by cexplorer(m): 5:00pm On Sep 11, 2011

FamilyRe: My Wedding Date Is Fixed, But I Have Just N100,000. by cexplorer(m): 4:40pm On Sep 11, 2011
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!!!
FamilyRe: Marriage: Is It Worth It? by cexplorer(m): 4:16pm On Sep 11, 2011
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.

Thank you for the good wishes, I hope my story sheds light on the positive side of things, I love my Man dearly and he I!  That is the most important part of a relationship, genuine love, not infatuation, solid love with respect, trust, communication, and care for one another.

RomanceRe: Please Help: Is It Right To Marry A Lady Older Than You by cexplorer(m): 7:30pm On Sep 09, 2011
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:
@cexplorer

I did post earlier on, I am white and I am older then my Man, He pursued me till I agreed to a relationship, never being pushy always being kind. I was a little concerned with the age gap and my being the one that is older, however with his patients and perseverance he won over. He is of the opinion that it is none of any ones business what our relationship is or about. We both feel that no matter what path in life you choose there will always be someone who isn't going to like. You have but one life to live and you need to live it for yourself. It is fine to ask some input on your situation but at the end of the you need to ask yourself what it is that YOU truly want, what makes you happy, above all this there needs to be respect between the two of you regardless of the age gap and her being the older of the two she still needs to respect you as head of the house and relationship. It is the way it has been and should be for many years. And you need to care for her and cherish her like no other if this is to be your choice.

Hope this helps!

FamilyRe: Ladies, Would You Marry A Pastor? by cexplorer(m): 12:59pm On Sep 08, 2011
I do not speak for pastors but I'm sure pastors are as human as anybody: loving, romantic, sensual and lively.
FamilyRe: Ladies, Would You Marry A Pastor? by cexplorer(m): 11:29am On Sep 07, 2011
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!

My brother sit down and take a long hard look at yourself.What do you really enjoy doing?No one else but you can decide that as the bible makes it clear in 1st Corinthians 2:10 that "no one can know a man's mind like the spirit of that man himself."
Its important to find out what God wants you to do with your life.But the Holy Spirit will not hit you over the head like he did Paul on the road to Damascus.Let me give you a tip.The mind of God for your life is closest to your deepest desires.If you keep on having recurrent thoughts or dreams about a particular hobby and for instance would do it for free;its possible that God is trying to show you what he has in store for you.

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.

FamilyRe: The Marriage Issue by cexplorer(m): 4:16pm On May 27, 2011
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

[size=14pt]25 Manners Every Kid Should Know By Age 9[/size] from Yahoo


Manner #1

When asking for something, say "Please."


Manner #2

When receiving something, say "Thank you

Manner #3

Do not interrupt grown-ups who are speaking with each other unless there is an emergency. They will notice you and respond when they are finished talking.

Manner #4

If you do need to get somebody's attention right away, the phrase "excuse me" is the most polite way for you to enter the conversation

Manner #6

The world is not interested in what you dislike. Keep negative opinions to yourself, or between you and your friends, and out of earshot of adults

Manner #7

Do not comment on other people's physical characteristics unless, of course, it's to compliment them, which is always welcome

Manner #8
When people ask you how you are, tell them and then ask them how they are

Manner #9

When you have spent time at your friend's house, remember to thank his or her parents for having you over and for the good time you had.

Manner #10
Knock on closed doors -- and wait to see if there's a response -- before entering

Manner #11
When you make a phone call, introduce yourself first and then ask if you can speak with the person you are calling.

Manner #12
Be appreciative and say "thank you" for any gift you receive. In the age of e-mail, a handwritten thank-you note can have a powerful effect.

Manner #13
Never use foul language in front of adults. Grown-ups already know all those words, and they find them boring and unpleasant.

Manner #14

Don't call people mean names.

Manner #15
Do not make fun of anyone for any reason. Teasing shows others you are weak, and ganging up on someone else is cruel.

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!
FamilyA Corper's Dilema by cexplorer(op): 6:28pm On May 26, 2011
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.
RomanceRe: Leaving My Wife For Another Woman: Your Views by cexplorer(m): 9:01pm On May 24, 2011
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.

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.
