Just as the bible says, there is time and purpose for everything, God has raised men as helpers, He raised men as guides too, also your helpmeet.

In life, there is a likely chance that you will meet your soulmate in a season without discovering it or having any intentions for marriage. Even at that, God needs you to grow and be focused on fulfilling purpose, He knows the best season for you to get married.

The experience of Moses and His father in-law, Jethro explains this better. Moses met Jethro at the period when he needed a wife, after then, God separated them for a very long period of time, this was because of the mandate at hand, destiny was calling.
Moses needed to focus on delivering the Israelites from the bondage of the Egyptians. Probably, if Jethro was present during the exodus from Egypt, there might be a contest of knowledge and wisdom between the both of them, or he might not live to give a good advice as at when due.

God brought Jethro back when Moses needed a wise counsel, Moses was at the verge of getting weary because of his pattern of leadership; Jethro came at the right time and advised Moses to select capable men who could administer justice on small cases, while Moses settled the major issues between the Israelites.

This advice came in handy because no one among the Israelites noticed the error going on, no one among them had the boldness and authority to speak to Moses, then God brought back Jethro.

From the bible, that advice did not only save the Israelites but it prolonged the life of their leader, Moses would have been worn out from stress. That advice also groomed leaders among the people of Israel. Just one advice!

Dear friend, that’s the relevance of times and seasons, that’s the importance of having specific people come into your life at different seasons; they might stay for a long period of time or a short season, that does not matter.
What matters is their impact, the fulfilment of purpose in your life. As humans, sometimes it dawns on you when you need a helper, a counsellor, someone who could tell the truth right to your face without mincing words.

While having these feelings, your mind flashes back to the good friends you’ve had who fit into that position. Mind you, in that season, God is set to send someone back into your life to stand in that position again, it is a season, it is a phase.

Whenever there is a need in your life, God sends in someone you have or may not have met, someone you trust, that individual comes into your life, makes impact, and then leaves again.

Moses never saw his father in-law again after the second meeting, it was God’s agenda; don’t get worried when God takes that person away after a certain period of time.

They are meant for a certain season.

Hope this meets you well.

[right][/right]Are you shocked to hear that?

The strength of your mind is great hence the reason why they say, 'an idle mind is the devil's territory.

Here's an analogy.

You may live your life like everyone else, eaten anything you desire, but the day you get to discover that you're infected with an ailment, you become sick.

From your doctor's prescription, that ailment have stayed in your body for years without your notice, but being aware has made you sick.

What could be the cause?


Your Mind.

Yes your thoughts will may never help you get over with that medical report.


You may start thinking of the side effects, any slight pain you have, you remember you have an ailment.


This is a reason why, psychology and counselling is necessary in any medical process.


In case you are in this category and you're wondering what to do, here is one thing.

Control your thoughts, think positively.

Instead of:

'I'm sick, I can't get through this'.

Try this:

'I know I'm down with an ailment, but I can overcome this just like anyone else. This ailment cannot have the better part of me'.

Never stay idle, hang out with friends and deliberately focus your mind on things you love.

I hope this brightens your day?

Cheers to a happy life.

Well said!

3 WAYS TO REGAIN YOUR PARTNER'S LOVE IN THREE DAYS.

Are you having a misunderstanding with your partner and you're searching for solutions?

Read this.

Nothing beautiful comes easy, in fact, the beauty of light is only noticed in darkness.

This means that it is okay to have issues with your partner, you're human.
The only problem that should never surface is your inability to resolve your misunderstanding. (Except you intend backing off).

So you may ask, what do I do when the spark of love is gradually disappearing from my relationship.

Here's it.

First, COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARTNER.
One thing that keeps a relationship is regular and meaningful communication. Talk about anything and everything, just engage in your partner in any way that suits you.

Truth is, everyone has problems bothering them, they just to pour their mind and they'll be fine. Your partner may be in this category, so be available.

When you communicate, don’t take your partner’s concerns for granted,

Be a support system, a shoulder that your partner can rest on.

The second way is to adopt the habit of COMPROMISE.

The saying that two wrongs cannot make a right is key at this stage. So much heated argument without a solution end a promising relationship.

So instead of arguing, try to allow your partner have the stage. It's painful but it might be worthwhile.

You may dislike his favorite sport, you may not have interest in the kind of movies she loves, but for the sake of your relationship, compromise a little.

The third way to regain lost love is by repeating the activities that attracted you to each other.

At this stage, you need to reminisce on the activities that made you attracted to your partner, the places you visited, the meals you ordered on your first date, the dress you wore, that particular music played and all the lovely acts that formed the first attraction.

When you replay the activities, the words that made up your love story, it has the capability to rekindle your love again, it happens like a dream.

I'm glad you've read to this point.

There's more to this, but I hope these tips help bring back the spark of love.

It is said that it takes wisdom to get to the top, but it takes character to remain there, when you finally get what you desire, be wise to retain what you've labored for.

Your healthy relationship and personal development is a priority.

3 INVESTMENTS FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.

Can you reminisce your childhood days, when all you thought of was fun and other good things of life?

You never saw any big deal in life, those days you believed having all the money you need is not going a problem.

Here you are now, thinking of how to standout and make a name for yourself.
You've come to discover that money is not the only focus but character and positive relationship.

There are things you need to do daily for your personal progress.

The first thing is to INVEST IN YOURSELF.

I know this sounds familiar but you need to hear it again.

This time, I'll like you to be intentional and specific in directing while developing yourself.

Invest in things that are aligned with your skill, talent, career and purpose.
Your resources and time should be spent on the right books, paid classes, movies, purposeful hangout, and healthy relationships, among others.

Be intentional about this.

The second action is to INVEST IN OTHERS.
Impact is made and covert personal progress is achieved when you pour out yourself to develop people.

You know something about your career that someone doesn't know. Teach that person.

Aside that, there is so much wisdom in volunteering.
While doing this, you learn, you build healthy contacts, and at the long run, you're sharing your time and knowledge with people.

The best way to recall what you know is by sharing.

The third and last action to take is to INVEST IN THOSE YOU ADMIRE.

For this, I mean those already working in your dreams, they are people you imitate.

They may be your role model, mentor, or a coach.
One way to invest in them is by giving. Yes, giving.

You can purchase their course, publicise their events, volunteer and also sow a 'seed'.

Sometimes the ladder to the top is through a healthy relationship with the right people.

Cherish it.

I hope you've got value?�

Cheers to your progress.

Another reason marriage don't last is religious interference and pastors . Giving fake prophecies about inlaws e.t.c

This is true.
Blessings

Healfastijn:
I believe in miracles, i also believe that God knows all. I just hate the suffering and pains which some of us go through believing in God for perfect healing but yet no positive response. All I'm asking and praying for is to make heaven after all these pains and sufferings.

God will always come through for you.
You'll survive every bad occurrence, and at the end , you'll make heaven.

Kayberg:


Deuteronomy 17:17 is for kings.
Matthew 19:4-5 does not signify monogamy, but ordained marriage (unlike the perversion in the world today with same sex marriage things).

And yea, polygamy has issues, when there is no unity in the family.

And remember, several men of GOD in the Bible had more than one wife, and GOD never complained or spoke to them condemning it.
Abraham had wives and concubines.
David had wives.
Solomon had wives and concubines.

All true. Let's stick to the truth that polygamy has issues and it doesn't seem wise having many wives.
So, the fact God didn't outrightly condemn it doesn't mean it is justified.
Several occurrences in the Bible were allowed in order to serve as a lesson to us.

Thanks for engaging sir.

A couple believed God for the healing of their daughter who was down with a terminal disease. They were fervent and committed believers in the fold. They were models to many in the church because the life of Christ was seen through them.
Most times we wonder why bad circumstances befall such people, but God knows the best. As a church, we prayed earnestly for this little girl who just graduated from grade school, and she was not able to further her education because of the illness.
As time went on, the doctor advised she gets operated on to avoid the virus spreading through the body and damaging her cells. That was a hard decision to comply with for her parents because they considered her age, and faith wise, they trusted God for healing without any medical operation.
They were in the middle of making a great decision that could either mar or help the situation of their daughter.
The Mother of this child never supported the doctor’s idea, but after much conviction from the doctor and medical consultants, they gave in.
On a Saturday morning, the operation was carried out on this little child. During that period, we all prayed and trusted God deeply for its success. Looking at this couple, I saw fear, pain and doubt written on their faces and manifesting in their actions,that never stopped us from interceding.

After 7 hours in the theatre, we saw the doctors and some nurses coming out of a room, they assured the couple that their daughter will be alright. That statement from a mere human strengthened our faith to an extent. We all left to our respective houses and returned the next day hoping for an answered prayer.
We all waited to see Annie rise up from the bed hale and hearty but it wasn’t so. The doctor communicated Annie’s condition to her parents who were already shaking in fear; he said Annie became comatose few minutes after being operated on, that was a striking news.
At first, we all lost hope in her survival because she was a child. We started murmuring to ourselves, asking questions only God could answer. Everyone was drained, after praying at night, trading our sleep for a positive response, we got a negative result.
At this point, no one could lead the prayers, everyone was mute, I noticed the couple had lost strength to cry, that moment was terrifying.
Then the worst happened, gradually, I noticed a brother who was part of the prayer team left the hospital, I was dumfounded; then two others left at once, this movement continued slowly until the team had three members.
This was more heart-breaking than anything.
Thank God the leader of the prayer team was still seated in amazement at the decision of his members. He stood up and with a shaky voice clouded with fear, he encouraged everyone to trust God for restoration and healing. Everyone knew he spoke with the last strength and faith he had. I wished that day never came.
We took up courage from our leader and started worshipping, though it was more of a weeping worship, we continued till we had no strength to sing, at a point everyone slept off. We were all awoken by the leader of the prayer team, he shared the word of God with us and assured us that God’s word will never fall to the ground.
That was a boost, this time we did not just worshipped we made intercession, we reminded God of His promises, we made demands in Jesus’ name, proclaiming victory even when it didn’t look like it, we called forth things that be not as though they were. As we prayed, everyone was energized, faith was rising, strength was restored, we felt the peace of the Lord amidst us.

At the intensive care unit, one of the nurse noticed Annie's subtle movement on the bed, she informed other nurses around but they gave no positive reply because they felt it was over.
Within few minutes there was a movement on the bed again, this time it was continuous, everyone called out for the doctor. Annie was vibrating on the bed, we all thought she was finally jerking to death, her parents tried to enter the room to at least hold her hands before she finally leaves this world, but they were restricted by the nurses.
Annie’s mum couldn’t hold her tears, we all wept while whispering the name, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
The doctor and nurses were trying to calm Annie, at a point there was silence in the room, we went close to the door and we heard whispers. We heard them saying, "she has a pulse, she has a pulse, her eyes are open already" , that was all. We could hear the beeping sound of the machine signifying that she’s breathing.
That was all we needed, we raised our voices again in worship, not minding the fact that it was a hospital. With our eyes soaked with tears, we rained praises and adoration to the One who never abandoned us in our state of grief. Our voices went down as soon as the doctor came out and asked that Annie’s parents go in and see their daughter. I looked through the transparent glass and I saw Annie smiling already like someone who was never in a coma. Her parents hugged her tightly and praised God together.
Our prayer team leader via a text message, communicated the great news to other members that had earlier left. Within few minutes, they returned in the same order they had left.
What was meant for sorrow was turned to joy.

Kayberg:
Indeed polygamous marriages has issues, but where did GOD condemn it in the Bible?

He shall not multiply wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away . . . (NASB) Deuteronomy 17:17

Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, and said, “FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH”? (NASB) Matthew 19:4-5

It may not be asserted clearly as polygamy in the Bible, but I know these scriptures explains that.
Just like you said, polygamy has issues.

5 Reasons Why relationships don’t last these days.

One of the reason why most youths avoid marital relationship is because they've noticed that the level of breakups and failed relationships in the society has risen to the peak.

A relationship is meant to be successful and sometimes, lead to marriage, but this is not true of most relationships. For every anomaly, there is a cause, likewise every failed relationship, there are reasons behind them.
I will share some reasons why relationships don’t last, read along as you learn and avoid repeating such mistakes.

The first reason is this, some relationships lack clarity of purpose.
In every aspect of life that involves two or more people, there must be a knowledge of their purpose, the reason for coming together must be known. The book of Amos chapter 3 verse 3 says, can two work together except they agree?

Imagine falling in love or admiring the opposite sex and you ended up in a love relationship and after three months, the purpose is unknown, the relationship is not defined.

The two love birds don’t know why they are together, they can’t figure out their reason for coming together. That is a mess. Don’t be carried away by love at first sight or the appearance of the opposite sex and forget that God gave a reason for marriage.

Don’t be quick to go into a relationship forgetting that God deposited talents and capabilities in everyone. The earlier you discover your place in someone’s life, the better. A relationship void of clear purpose will not last, just like a car moving without a driver, it ends up in a crash. Before going into a relationship, define your purpose.

The second reason is the habit of polygamy and absence of self-control.
One thing God hates is the sin of immorality and fornication. The inability to control sexual urge has led to the death of many relationships today.

It is not enough to define purpose; your relationship should also be built on purity and self-control. Marriage is honorable with the bed undefiled. Most ladies have caught their man in fornication and most men have seen their partner flirting with their friends without remorse.

Most youths and teens do not value monogamy, they believe it is their time to flirt with all the ladies or men in their neighborhood. The attribute of contentment and self-control is far from their heart. Such a relationship will not last.

Dear friend, the spread of the most deadly sexually transmitted diseases have been prevalent due to the polygamous life of both singles and the married. Nobody will like to share his or partner with everyone on the street, there is need for intimacy and trust between partners.

Stick to God’s pattern of relationship and marriage, so that you can experience a long-lasting relationship.


The third reason why relationships don’t last these days is due to the Incompatibility of partners.
You can't put a cat and a rat in the same cage, if that happens, one will surely die. The death of some relationships is due to the incompatible nature of both partners.

They have different and clashing visions in life, with this, they cannot tolerate each other. When a man has phobia for domestic animals and his partner loves staying around all specie and types of domestic and wild animals, there will definitely be a war between them.

Some people do not share their fears, weaknesses, strength and life visions with their partners, this always lead to misunderstanding in a relationship. There are some women who don’t value child birth, but they go ahead to date a man who loves to have a set of twins for a start.

With this, there will be no other remedy than to separate. Little things like character and attitude falls under this category, because the character of a person is shaped by several agents of socialization, other bad habits are also learnt or adopted.

When all the negative attitudes of a person is appalling to his/her partner, without due cause to change, there will be a breakup. Dear friend, be in a relationship with someone that can tolerate or enjoy your character and attitudes.

The fourth reason why relationships don't last is due to the act of dating/courtship for a wrong reason.
Like I earlier said, the clarity of purpose is crucial for every relationship. Most times, you hear men say ladies are after their money, and the ladies will argue that some men after their body.

All these points to one thing, Motive. The motive of being in relationship is the strength of that relationship. Dear friend, give a second thought as to why you are in that relationship. Is it because of the money, connections, influence, family pressure, sex or facial appearance of your partner?

If your decision was birthed out by all I have listed, get ready to experience a shock soon. Truth is all the beauty, money, influence and connection will fade away some day and you will be left with no other option than to run away. The reason for any relationship should go beyond the physical appearance and immediate satisfaction of your desires.

When your partner can't meet your needs, what happens next? You get bored, you feel as if a veil was lifted from your face, afterwards, you flee into another relationship. That is not a good reason for going into a relationship. Beloved, rethink and choose wisely.

The fifth reason why reason relationships don’t last is the habit of having high expectations from your partner.

Know this, a prefect marriage is only possible in your head not in reality.

The bible has shown us that it is only God that is perfect in all ramifications. No other person on earth is perfect, no man or woman is without flaws.

This truth does not go down well with some youths in our time. When a lady is asked to list out the features of her dream man, the list looks like an impossible thing. When the men are asked to do same, you wonder where that woman if they intend getting married to a spirit being.

This is the bed rock of breakups, because when your expectations are not met, you feel you are with the wrong person, definitely, there will be a great misunderstanding between you and your partner.

Dear friend, step down your high expectations and make it aligned to the will of God. The advice from your friends as regards the spec of your partner might be misleading. Just like Adam and Eve, you are meant to complement your partner, you are expected to cover up his or her weaknesses and not expose them.

You cannot see any perfect man or woman on earth, they only exist in your imagination. Instead of having impossible and unrealistic expectations, channel your energy towards making your spouse a better person. People grow into a good character, they don’t just manifest that way, they grow with time, not just a short time, a long one.

Dear friend, don’t damage your hope with all those qualities that you can’t find in a man or woman, rather, look out for that individual who is God’s will for you and work on your desires together.
Thanks for reading.
