Topic: God Is Not Interested In This [Tuesday 25, April 2017] Memorise: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. – John 3:17 Read: Ezekiel 33:14-16 (KJV) 14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; 15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. Bible in One Year: Number 18-19, Jeremiah 20:7-18 MESSAGE: Expectedly, you may be wondering what God is not interested in. God is not interested in the death of a sinner (2 Peter 3:9) . Many sinners don’t even know that God has no delight in condemning them. It is therefore necessary that those who know this truth should make it known to them. “14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; 15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.” - Ezekiel 33:14-15 It is clear from the above Scripture that God is not interested in the death of any sinner, but desires that the sinner repents and turns away from his or her wicked ways. It is amazing that God Almighty promised that none of the sins committed by a converted sinner will be remembered any more. God is always wanting to restore fellowship with His human creation back to what it was in the beginning, if only they would appreciate His love for them. Jesus Christ in John 15:13 said: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” If indeed we are the friends of Jesus, we then must do whatever He commands us to do (John 15:14). Are you a friend of Jesus or willing to be one? If you are willing to be a friend of Jesus, you must accept Him today, because tomorrow may be too late. The Bible says: “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. - 2 Corinthians 6:2 For believers who would always pray that sinners should “fall down and die”, I will like to admonish you to stop wasting your time, because if the fellow you are praying against is candidate for salvation in the future, your prayers may be an exercise in futility. This is why the Lord God said vengeance is His (Romans 12:19). May God fill our hearts with the compassion of Christ, so that we can be more concerned about the salvation of sinners rather than their death. Prayer Point: Father, fill my heart with the compassion of Jesus, so that I would care for sinners even as You do. |
Topic: Another Jonah in The Church? [Monday 24, April 2017] Memorise: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. – Mark 16:15 Read: Ezekiel 33:1-6 (KJV) 1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. Bible in One Year: Number 16-17, Jeremiah 19:10-20:6 MESSAGE: We are often quick to judge Biblical characters when they do not measure up to God’s expectation in one area or the other. We should however not allow our judgemental opinions to becloud our minds from the salient lessons God is trying to pass across to us through the failings of these characters. To drive home this point, the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 10:11 says, “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” Among such characters are father Abraham and Isaac, who both misrepresented their wife as their sister. We also have prophets like Elijah, who opted to die in the face of adversity, and Jonah, the prophet who chose to run away from God’s assignment. In the New Testament, we have apostles like Thomas, who said he would not believe in Christ’s resurrection unless he saw and touched the palms of His hands. The shortcomings of these characters exposes their humility to us, and it also serves as a challenge to us that if characters with such shortcomings can go on to do great things for God, so can we in spite of our inadequacies. Let’s take a closer look at Prophet Jonah, and compare his attitude to that of believers in the Church today. In Jonah 1 , we read of how the word of the Lord came to him, instructing him to go and warn the people of Nineveh against the impending doom hanging over their heads because of their wickedness. Instead of carrying out God’s assignment, Jonah chose to flee to Tarshish, because he wanted the people of Nineveh to receive God’s judgement. He knew if these people heard the warning and repented, God would not punish them as He had earlier planned. However, Jonah wanted them to receive God’s punishment because of all they had done to the children of Israel. In like manner, our Lord Jesus Christ has commanded us to go and preach the gospel of salvation to sinners. Following the principles set out in our Bible reading, if we do not obey the Lord’s commandment, God forbid that their blood be required of us. We must beware of Jonah’s mistake so that none of us becomes another Jonah in the Church. Jonah landed in the belly of a fish before he understood the foolishness of trying to run away from God. Are you being called into the ministry of soul-winning? Stop running from your responsibility! Let us take the assignment of soul-winning seriously, and we will not miss our reward. Proverbs 11:30 says, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Prayer Point: Father, help me to win souls for You on a daily basis. |

Understanding The Covenant Of Recovery We discover from scriptures that every move of God is accompanied by waves of recovery. The Bible says: Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed (Joel 2:23-27). We also discover that Jesus came, among others, to restore all we may have lost. It is written: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Furthermore, from scriptures, we understand that every redeemed child of God is called to enjoy all the good things of life, which include: spiritual, material and social. As it is written: According as his (God’s) divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness… (2 Peter 1:3; see also Psalms 34:10, Matthew 7:11). Unfortunately, many believers do not know what belongs to them in redemption; as such, they cannot account for whatever the devil has stolen from them. But, what are the things that belong to us in redemption? First, it is important to know that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law and launched us into the realm of Abrahamic blessings. As it is written: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith(Galatians 3:13-14). Again, the Bible says: Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches , and wisdom, and strength , and honour , and glory , and blessing (Revelation 5:12). “The Lamb” in the above scripture is Jesus Christ; who, via redemption, purchased for us this seven-fold blessing: Power: At salvation, we are empowered for triumph because the whole world lies in wickedness and the only language the enemy understands is power. As such, we need power to rule in the midst of our enemies since it takes empowerment to triumph in this wicked world (John 1:12; Luke 10:19; Psalms 66:3). Riches: At redemption, we were rescued from the dungeon of poverty and translated into the Kingdom of prosperity. As it is written: For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). Wisdom: Every redeemed child of God possesses divine wisdom as part of his/her new nature because at new birth, we are endowed with the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16; Matthew 11:19). Strength: This means health, vitality, vigour and unusual energy. The church in the wilderness had no feeble person among their tribes. Unusual strength always attends to men who are in love with God. He is not only the Saviour of your soul, He is the Saviour of your body. Your body must be saved and delivered from corruption. Concerning Jesus, the Bible says: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (1 Peter 2:24; see also Proverbs 13:17; Matthew 8:17). Honour : Every child of God has been redeemed as a star after the order of Christ; therefore, honour is our heritage in Christ. We are a city set on a hill that cannot be hid. We are the light of the world and the Salt of the earth. Therefore, we are valuable entities on the earth. When God honours, no devil can dishonor you and anybody who dares to dishonor who God has honoured, will lick the dust. For God’s honour is permanent. It is written: For your shame ye shall have double (honour); and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them (Isaiah 61:7; see also Revelation 22:16; John 17:18). Glory: This is the answer to shame. We must recognize that by redemption, glory is not a destination but an adventure. As it is written: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18; see also Joel 2:26-27 .Blessings: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). Are you born again? This means, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord? If you haven’t, you can do so as you say this prayer: “Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. Deliver me from sin and satan to serve the Living God. Today, I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You Jesus for saving me! Now I know I am born again!” |

5 Phrases That Will Radically Revolutionize Your Marriage Change how you speak and you can change how you live. We’ve all heard the familiar saying: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!” We learn it when we are young, in hopes of developing a means to protect us from the harmful effects of playground insults. Sadly, though, we all have at least one memory ofa cutting phrase that has stuck with us, leaving painful wounds that continue to affect us today.Why does that happen? Why do phrases have such control over us? Modern researchers have begun to pick apart this phenomenon, calling it the “chemistry of conversations.” Evidence suggests that harsh remarks pointed in our direction trigger hormones that create very real physical and mental sensations of distress, and the presence of these hormones can have lasting effects.There is immense power in our words. Nowhere is this more apparent than in marriage. What if we took the time to strengthen our spouses and build them up with constructive words? If you aren’t sure where to start, try these: 1. I’m Proud Of You The feeling of being empowered byothers reinforces the idea that we can succeed at projects, are wholepersons capable of setting and achieving goals, and that those who are proud of us trust us. Looking for things your spouse is doing and offering them praise creates the opportunity to show them you notice their efforts, and itprevents you from being overly self-interested in a way that can lead to emotionally neglecting your significant other. 2. Thank You Don’t be tempted to gloss over this one; it’s also backed by research. When you say “thanks,” it won’t mean much without intentionally and sincerity. What has your spouse done that makes you and your relationship better? Is it bringing you coffee? Swinging by the grocery store to pick up a few necessary items? Is it their willingness to move across the country for your new job? Whatever it may be, it deserves a specific and honest “Thank you.” 3. I Feel Loved When ______Just as important as reinforcing our partner is learning how to help our partner support us. A marriagetakes two people, and often we fallvictim to the assumption that our spouse knows exactly what to say or do to care for us like we want. Why not take a moment to kindly express a few ways they can showyou they care. Then ask them whatyou can do to make them feel loved. 4. I’m Sorry When we are in the early stages of dating or marriage, it’s easy to be polite and kind. After all, we have got to put our best foot forward and make a good impression! However, over time it is easy to become focused on our preferences and wrestle with issues like pride. Saying “I’m sorry” is like getting a shot –– we may be tempted to resist it, but it'salways for our benefit. Sincere apologies remind our spouses thatwe care about their feelings, and they remind us that real love requires laying down our pride. 5.You Give Me Butterflies “You look good!” “I want you.” “You’re breathtaking.” “You’re so handsome.” Say it however you want, just make sure you say it, and say it often. Maybe you’ve been married for eight months or 28 years. However long you’ve been together, letting your spouse know that you still find them attractive and appealing boosts their confidence and helps maintain a connection in the bedroom, something important for all married couples to keep alive.

**Touching Story** An 8-year-old boy lost his mum . He was so sad and depressed. A year after his Mum's demise, his father decided to re-marry. One day, the boy's father called him and asked, "Is there any difference between your mother and and your step-mother?" The boy answered, "Yes." His dad then asked him, "What's the difference?" The boy innocently replied, "My mother used to lie to me but my step mother doesn't." His Father was surprised, he asked, "What do you mean? "The boy then replied, "When I go to my friends house, i usually play rough, my mum would tell me not to rough or else she won't give me food. When my mum sees that I wasn't at home at the expected time, she would leave whatever she was doing and come to meet me wherever i was. She would then take me home and give me food. But my stepmother always keeps to her word. I have been hungry for the past two days. I MISS MY MUM. frown emoticon http:///78aK58 |

IT TAKES GRACE TO RUN THE RACE! …Ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and …the weak things of the world to confound the things which aremighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, … yea,and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence”- 1Corinthians 1: 26-29Our world today is full of mighty men. There are ‘Goliaths’ in every field of endeavour. They have such exceptional qualities and qualifications, coupled with great accomplishments that are capable of intimidating anyone. When you hear of them you are tempted to say, “There is no use trying, what more can I do that has not already been done?” But I have come to understandfrom God’s word and from personal experience that it is possible to run with giants and still overtake them, inspite of your obvious limitations.The covenant secret that turns ‘small’ men into great achievers is the grace of God. When you know how to articulate the grace of God in your life, you enjoy ceaseless and outstanding breakthroughs all the way. |
MIND YOUR LIFESTYLE The way you live is more important than the way you work.It is your lifestyle that gives value to your “workstyle”You may be hardworking and lack respect if your life doesn’t represent the corevalues of Christ.I’ll rather spend time modelling my life, than with my work at the expenseof mylife. |
AVOIDING A BAD MARRIAGE. After salvation, the most important choice you will need to make is who to marry. This choice is so important that if you miss it, you will suffer for long, if you get it right then you will enjoy forever. A bad marriage can affect every other area of your life. This subject is so important, so many married people are hoping to be single again so as to make the right choice. If you are single please don't just be in a hurry to get married, you have the best opportunity to prepare for it. For two people to come together to live in peace and harmony, they must agree spiritually, mentally and physically. Just like an elephant cannot marry an ant so also a believer cannot marry an unbeliever. If an elephant marries an ant how would they live, if a goat marries a fish where would they meet? You must look for a godly man or a godly woman to marry, nothing can beat this. The devil's primary target is the family. He knows that everyone belongs to a family and if he can make two wrong people meet then he has succeeded affecting the community and nations negatively. Ignore your age and the pressure for a moment, the pressure in a wrong marriage is far worse. God has somebody for you but you must set your priorities right. What do you need in a woman? What do you need in a man?Marriage is not about what you want, it is about who you need, that will make you better while you make him better. It is about destiny. That is why you must know your purpose before you get married. (Genesis 2:18.) You must pray before you choose. God knows the best person for you, it is only wise to seek His will. It is very easy to know God's will when sex is not involved. The moment sex is involved and you want to know His will then He will blank you out. Why? Because you have broken His first Law of NO SEX before marriage. If you have had sex in the past then you need to repent totally and stay away from each other for some time then you can seek the face of God. Your marriage will not be hell on earth. Your marriage will be honourable in the name of Jesus Christ. * Don't marry for sex, * Don't marry because you are of age, * Don't marry because you are getting old, * Don't marry because you are lonely, * Don't marry because you need someone to support you financially, * Don't marry because you mistakenly got pregnant, * Don't marry because you don't want to lose the person, * Don't marry because of family pressures, * Don't marry because you like the idea of marriage and admire every wedding gown you see, * Don't marry because all your friends are getting married. But * Get married because you want to fulfil destiny. * Get married because you want to be a help mate. * As a man, get married because you want to fulfil your purpose. God will help you in choosing, please let His will be done. Amen! Forward to the singles you love. God bless you! |
When you see a man selling handkerchiefs and still sweating profusely in traffic, it tells you that possession is not the same as ownership! Your life belongs to God; you are only having it but you don't own it. So, be careful what you do with your life before the owner asks for it. The last wishes of Alexander the Great......... On his death bed, Alexander summoned his army generals and told them his three ultimate wishes: 1. The best doctors should carry his coffin ... 2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery ... 3. His hands should be let loose, so they hang outside the coffin for all to see !! One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to explain . Here is what Alexander the Great had to say : 1. "I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death , even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal .." 2. "I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth , will stay on earth.." 3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is : TIME. We do not take to our grave any material wealth. TIME is our most precious treasure because it is LIMITED. We can produce more wealth, but we cannot produce more time. When we give someone our time, we actually give a portion of our life that we will never take back . Our time is our life !. The best present that you can give to your family is your time nd to God is ur life.. May God grant YOU plenty of TIME, |
HARDCORE TRUTH ABOUT
MARRIAGE! !!!!
1. There is nothing that threatens
the security of a wife than the
thought of another woman
competing for the attention and
affection of her husband. Nothing
is more painful. Nothing is more
disrespecting. Nothing is more
insulting. Nothing is more
belittling and degrading.
2. Marriage flourishes when the
couple works together as a team;
when both husband and wife
decide that winning together is
more important than keeping
score.
Good marriages don't just
happen. They are a product of
hard work.
3. Your children are watching
you and forming lasting opinions
on love, commitment, and
marriage based on what they see
in you. Give them hope. Make
them look forward to marriage.
4. Husbands: The reason why
other women look attractive is
because someone is taking good
care of them. Grass is always
green where it is watered.
Instead of drooling over the
green grass on the other side of
the fence, work on yours and
water it regularly. Any man can
admire a beautiful woman, but it
takes a true gentleman to make a
woman admirable and beautiful.
5. When a husband puts his wife
first above everyone and
everything except God, it gives
his wife the sense of security and
honor that every wife hungers for.
6. A successful marriage doesn't
require a big house, a prefect
spouse, a million dollars or an
expensive car. You can have all
the above and still have a
miserable marriage. A successful
marriage requires honesty,
undying commitment and selfless
love and Jesus at the center of it
all.
7. Pray for your spouse every
day; in the morning, in the
afternoon and at evening. Don’t
wait until there is a problem.
Don’t wait until there is an affair.
Don’t wait until something bad
happens. Don’t wait until your
spouse is tempted. Shield your
spouse with prayer and cover
your marriage with the fence of
prayer.
8. The people you surround
yourself with have a lot of
influence on your marriage.
Friends can build or break your
marriage; choose them wisely.
9. One spouse cannot build a
marriage alone when the other
spouse is committed to
destroying it. Marriage works
when both husband and wife
work together as a team to build
their marriage.
10. Don't take your spouse for
granted. Don't take advantage of
your spouse's meekness and
goodness. Don't mistake your
spouse's loyalty for desperation.
Don't misuse or abuse yours
spouse's trust. You may end up
regretting after losing someone
that meant so much to you.
11. Beware of marital advice from
single people. Regardless of how
sincere their advice may be, most
of it is theoretical and not
derived from real life experiences.
If you really need Godly advice,
seek it from God-fearing,
impartial and prayerful mature
couples whose resolve has been
tested by time and shaped by
trials.
12. Dear wife, Don't
underestimate the power of the
tongue on your marriage. The
tongue has the power to crush
your marriage or build it up.
Don't let the Devil use your
tongue to kill your spouse's
image, self-confidence and
aspirations. Let God use your
tongue to build up your marriage
and bless and praise your
spouse. |
WHAT A HUSBAND TOLD HIS
WIFE THE NIGHT OF THEIR
MARRIAGE/ WEDDING
My wife, everyone has gone
home. The music is quiet, the
celebration is over. Our wedding
was beautiful but it is now in the
past. We have finished the
wedding/marriage, it is now time
to build our marriage. All that is
left now is the two of us… What
we will become tomorrow, starts
from tonight. Our life is no longer
the same.
There was a day you put on one
red dress… You looked so
beautiful in it. That Day I wanted
to just touch you! We were in the
Cinema and I was so tempted. I
wanted to just take you inside
the toilet and kiss you but I
couldn’t. Guess what? Now I
have you forever, I can do that
everyday.
Before I take off your cloth and
make love to you… let me tell you
few things.
I have nothing to hide from you
from this day. My phone, you can
use it like your own. You can
access my facebook, my twitter
and my Instagram
From today, I have become a
child. For the past five years of
my life, I have been a man. I
wake myself up in the morning,
sometimes I go to bed hungry, I
do things the way I want to. I
come home whenever I want to
but all that ends today. From
today you become my mother,
who will scold me when I come
home late, a mother who will
wake me up at six to go work, a
mother who will ensure I don’t
sleep hungry. I am glad I have a
mother in you.
I hope you will be a good
mother? Don’t be too harsh and I
promise I won’t be too stubborn.
Sometimes I will give you
headache but I promise, I will
also be the cure of every
headache.
When my parents died, I looked
after my brothers and sisters. I
was like a father to them. So i
will not have problem being a
father to you.
Hope all men wil be as nice as
dis. Let treat women like how it
was ordained by God. Women are
precious, they are of
immeasurable value

ENDURE
Life’s race is not sprint, but
marathon!
Sprint describes quickness while
marathon expresses continuity
and sustenance.
In sprint you make effort but by
marathon you show
determination.
Endurance is the real test of a
good soldier.
It is the ability to withstand all
situations and wheather all
storms of life. II Tim.2:3-5
It’s foundation is discipline that
is, putting yourself under
constrain and compulsion in
pursuit of life endeavors. 1
Cor.9:24-26;
Joy is the fountain of endurance.
Heb.12:2 |
LIVE PRESSURE FREE TODAY
Jesus lived such a pressure free
life that even in the face of very
hard situations, He remembered
to give thanks to God. When He
saw Mary and Martha after the
death of Lazarus their brother, He
told them “Relax, Have I not told
you that if you believe you shall
see the glory of the Lord?” And
when He arrived at the tomb He
simply said, “Father, I thank
you.” After that He called Lazarus
and the man that was dead
jumped out of the grave! Please,
live your life pressure free! Don’t
consider any issue as so serious
that you cannot praise God. Life
is not as difficult as so many
people are presenting it! Your
situation is not as hard! Stop
living under pressure and
tension!
When there is need for money,
relax yourself. God is in control,
He is in charge, so everything is
working in your favour. No matter
the situation that comes your
way tell it, “You are not as
difficult.” Be calm! Make the devil
unimportant! Even in your prayer
life, be relaxed, present your case
as one who is in control.
You know, calmness is not a sign
of weakness, it is a means of
exercising control because the
word of God says, “…In returning
and rest shall ye be saved; in
quietness and in confidence shall
be your strength…” An
atmosphere of calmness sets the
pace for praise and thanksgiving
and as you praise God, His
strength will be manifested in
your situation.
If you must flow in praise, then
you must create a relaxed
environment around yourself; be
full of humor and excitement.
Meditate on these: Psalm 46:10,
John 16:33 |
YOU ARE UNIQUE Every man is created by God in a unique way. There are no two same human beings. Our differences is what defines our uniqueness.

#Copied Let's watch our wards. MARRIED IN SCHOOL BUT SINGLE AT HOME... Welcome to Nigerian campuses where little girls are practising 'wifely functions'! Just visit the boys' hostels or outside apartment ( off k)as is usually called by students and you would be disappointed to find out that it is now common for a girl to live in with a course mate. It is now common for her lover to give her the popular compliment 'you look sexy my gal' and she would gladly reply 'thank you honey' with a flirty voice and a romantic smile. Who is her lover? A 300 level student whose CGPA is barely up to 1.78! And they are aiming for the next best couple award for the session by the departmental association. So, the girl need to live in with him to prepare along. What nonsense! It seems that some girls suddenly loose their senses immediately they gain admission. I've seen that some of them have no more sense of caution, honour and dignity. They would change their wardrobes and acquire a new set of make ups just to look 'campussy' and sexy enough for the guys. In months, they would start sleeping around with little boys. I mean boys who collect pocket money from their uncles! Dirty boys who most of the time are infected with sexually transmitted diseases. Hey! I want you to know that you were sent to school to obtain a degree not a disease. The campus is called a school; school not sex! You are on campus to receive education not ejaculation. You are here to master the use of a pen not the pleasures of a penis. Wake up girl! Do some thinking. Your future is greater than the 'best couple award'. You cook for a boy you are more intelligent than. You give your virginity to a boy who will definitely leave you after graduation. You play wife to a boy who cannot even care for himself. Oh, you have given too much. Enough! Open your eyes! Can't you see you're being foolish? You are passing through the fears of unwanted pregnancies yet you are opening your legs to a coward who cannot stand before your father. And when you eventually gets pregnant, he would brutally advise you to abort it and you would timidly agree; then face the consequences later. What a shame! You may master the use of condoms but you can't master the punishment of your conscience. Don't you know you are bringing shame to your family? Don't you know that you are cursing your mother by accepting to sleep with a boy (not even a man) without her consent? I cautioned a girl against sleeping around and she replied 'Danny, I don't sleep around; its only one boyfriend I have and am faithful to him'. What impunity! That's classified harlotry. And don't you know that sleeping with a man without your father's blessings is bringing a curse to your future? What happened to your cultural values? Somewhere in your heart you know he would use you and dump you; so why are you setting up yourself for a heartbreak? I want to remind you that you are a lady and one day you may get married. And your husband would know that you are such a dirty bitch who sleeps with anything on trousers. The greatest gift a lady would give to her husband on the wedding night is her virginity less lost it out of (rape) not the certificate of best couple of the year on campus! The other gifts for the rest of her life are her care and character not her curves and complexion! Real men know this; so, get it screwed in! Those treacherous boys would call you 'sexy' and you would answer? Oh, sorry! They touch your breast and you would smile? They would ask you out and you would oblige? Oh, you are indeed a mistake. Am not saying that you should be rude or never live a 'social life' but I want you to think deeper than you are currently doing. I want to turn your attention back to your books. You are not in school for breast exhibition. So, pay less attention to those boobs and give more attention to your books! You are not in school for cat walking show. You are rather here to show us the dignity of womanhood. You are here to prove to us that you are costly. So, why make yourself so cheap? I am writing this with both love and pain in my heart and that's why am sounding stern. I know about two girls now that have been living with their boyfriend since year one and as it is now they can't even even count how many abortions they had for that same boy sch bae it's now like a normal thing to them, the last one she did almost took her life and that made her bleed for 4months imagine how you do feel with ordinary 4 dayz of menstruation left alone living with it for months.. As a matter of fact one of them have damaged her fallopian tube due to excessive of contraceptives she has taken to prevent pregnancy. I want you to look beyond now and think of what advise you would give your own daughter when you become a mother. I hope I have not offended you...if I have, please repent. To the decent girls I have seen on campus: do not be swayed by these evil. Be consistent and keep celebrating your purity. I am always proud of you. And God is more proud of you. Please share this message with all your friends on this campus and let's restore some sanity. NB: I'm not an exceptional, I have got my weaknesses too and am gonna adjust if found... |
3-Year Affliction & satanic
Oppression Ends! “For three years, I suffered attacks in my dream at night and also experienced hotness in my body. During the Mantle Impartation Service on January 31, 2016, Bishop Oyedepo instructed us to tie our mantle around our neck every night before we sleep. I did. Lo and behold, the next morning, my body was cold and I didn’t experience the hotness. Also, since then, I never saw the woman who always attacked me in my dream again. I give God all the glory!” —Izah Destiny |
Encounter with Destiny through
faith For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his , that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified (Romans 8:29-30). From the above scripture, we understand that every child of God is a child of destiny. We also discover in scriptures that every encounter with God and His Word is an encounter with destiny. For instance, Noah met with God and he encountered destiny. Abraham also had a new beginning at the age of seventy-five through an encounter with God. Furthermore, Moses had an encounter with God and it was the beginning of a new chapter at the age of eighty. Jacob had an encounter with God and he was turned to a nation. Samuel had an encounter with God, by His Word, and his destiny was supernaturally advanced. No doubt, every encounter with God advances people’s destinies (Exodus 3:7-10; Genesis 32:24-28; 1 Samuel 3:21, 12:6). We understand from scriptures that every child of God has a glorious destiny in Christ . However, let’s recognise that there are two classes of humans on the earth; men and women of time and chance, and men and women of destiny. The Bible says: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all (Ecclesiastes 9:11). Thus, men and women of time and chance are the unsaved. Until a person is saved, his life is left to time and chance. That is, the devil determines what to do with such life per time. On the other hand, when we are saved, we become children of destiny. Our lives are no longer designed for uncertainties, because we have a well-defined destination in God’s agenda. As it is written: According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3). This is why salvation, which is a call to glory and virtue not shame and reproach, is the number one step into a glorious destiny. We also have an enviable destiny in redemption, not a pitiable one. The Bible says: Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise (Galatians 4:28). Concerning Isaac, the Bible records: And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possessions of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him (Genesis 26:13-14). Thus, just like Isaac, we are ordained to be envied and not to be pitied. Furthermore, we understand that every child of God is ordained to be greater than all the Old Testament saints . Jesus said concerning John: Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he (Matthew 11:11). That means, every child of God carries greater potentials in Christ than all the giants in the Old Testament such as Abraham, Moses, Nehemiah, Daniel, Joseph, Solomon, etc. In fact, Jesus said: The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here (Matthew 12:42). Jesus further said: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:12; see also Matthew 12:42; John 20:21). That is a pointer to the amazing potentials that redemption has deposited into our lives. All we need is insight to know our worth in redemption and take responsibility to see these potentials translate to realities in our lives. This is because the outcome of our lives is a function of our insight, and God is only committed to give to us as far as our eyes can see (Genesis 13:15; Deuteronomy 28:1; 1 Corinthians 2:9). Moreover, every child of God is ordained to be a pace-setter and a trail blazer. It is written: Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men (Matthew 5:13; see also Revelation 22:16; John 17:18). That connotes that we are not concerns but assets to our world. We are also ordained kings and priests to reign on the earth . … And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth (Revelation 5:9-10). That means, we belong to a royal family and therefore, empowered to be in charge under all circumstances. What are the four major ways to have an encounter with destiny? Through a raw encounter with God (Genesis 12:1-4; Exodus 3:7-10; Acts 22:7-10, 17-20). Through a heavenly vision: This involves God appearing to us and unveiling His plans and purposes for our lives, as in the case of Jacob and Paul the Apostle (Genesis 32:24-28; 1 Kings 3:3-13; Acts 26:19). Through the voice of God behind His Word : Behind every scripture is the voice of God, which is also called Rhema. When we encounter our Word from scriptures, the voice of God behind that Word gives direction to our lives. Through the revelation of the Word (Isaiah 9:8, 60:1-22; 2 Corinthians 12:7; Philippians 4:13). However, to experience an encounter with destiny, we must be: Spiritually alive: The Bible says: But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14; see also Romans 8:6). The things of the Spirit can only be accessed spiritually. John said: I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet (Revelation 1:10). We cannot hear the voice of God except we are in the Spirit. This is why we must be spiritually alive to encounter destiny. Prayerful: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not (Jeremiah 33:3). Most times, we encounter visions and revelations from the prayer altar. On March 22-24, 1984, three staff members of the ministry and I were in prayers, when God said, “Stand up and follow Me!” Thereafter, I experienced a dramatic vision that unveiled the mysteries of unending church growth. More often than not, people who encounter destiny maintain a very robust prayer life because that is where God shows great and mighty things about our lives. We must, therefore, be prayerful to encounter destiny and move from one realm of glory to another. God-loving : God’s secrets are cheaply available to His lovers. For instance, Abraham was a lover and friend of God and God said: Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do . David was also a lover of God and he had access to divine secrets (Genesis 18:17; Acts 2:29-30). God’s lovers have unlimited access to His plans and purposes. Therefore, the hotter our love for God, the cheaper our access to His plans and purposes as they relate to us (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Kingdom promotion passionate : When we are committed to seeking God’s Kingdom first, our anxieties are leveled and we are launched into our glorious destinies in Christ. Thus, the more committed we are to Kingdom promotion endeavours, the more committed God is to all issues of our lives including our next level of access to His glorious plan (Matthew 6:33). However, it is important to understand that destiny answers absolutely to faith. The Bible says: …Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith (Habakkuk 2:2-4; see also Matthew 9:29). That is, it takes faith to see God’s plan realised in our lives. This is because God’s plans are according to His size, ability and capacity; therefore, it is impossible for any human hand to deliver it. Thus, everything about divine plan requires divine hand for delivery, and faith is the only way to provoke divine hand in our lives. As it is written: Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? (Isaiah 53:1; see also Luke 1:45; John 15:5) But, what is faith? Faith is not waiting for God to work; faith is putting God’s Word to work thereby committing Him to make good His promise: When we put God’s Word to work, we commit Him to perform the impossible in our lives. We understand from scriptures that after Jesus finished using Peter’s boat, He instructed him to cast his net into the deep for a draught. Meanwhile, Peter had toiled all night and caught nothing. However, as he obeyed Jesus’ instruction, the Bible records that he enclosed a great multitude of fishes (Luke 5:4-6; John 2:5, 7-9; James 2:14-26). Faith is being fully persuaded of the truth, the prevailing circumstances notwithstanding, until the truth triumphs : Just as light will always triumph over darkness, the truth, which is the Word of God, will always triumph. Concerning Abraham, the Bible records that: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform (Romans 4:20-21). What, then, is in Bible Faith? Bible faith confers supernatural strength: When we believe divine instructions, we are supernaturally energised to drive it. Furthermore, every time we are in pursuit of divine agenda, we possess divine strength while others struggle with natural strength (Deuteronomy 34:7; Hebrews 11:11-12). It empowers men for exploits: When we walk in faith, we become candidates for exploits because the hand of God cannot deliver ordinary results, but extraordinary results and faith is what brings the hand of God to bear in our lives, thereby empowering us to do the impossible (Hebrews 11:32-33). It is evident that the pursuit of divine plan becomes absolutely sweatless when we secure God’s hand through the mystery of faith. That is why building our faith is a must, if we must fulfil our glorious destinies in Christ. There is no faith- filled man who is not an investor in building his faith and the school of faith is an ever-learning school. Thus, we are either building our faith or breaking it. However, we cannot wait for our faith to be built; we must consciously take steps towards building it through the Word of God and anointed resources of men and women of faith. As we do so, I see God launching us into His glorious plans for our lives, thereby fulfilling destiny in grand style in Jesus’ name! Remain ever blessed! Jesus is Lord! Prophetic Blessings From today, you will never see shame in your life! Whatever makes men pity you is turned to a testimony! Whatever makes you look like a concern is turned to a testimony! I see your story changingtodayin the name of Jesus! A chapter that no one can imagine will open up for you! Your crown will not go to another man! Your skill will announce you in palaces! From this day, no one will ever look down on you! Everything is changing in your favour! |
Making Right Choices in
Marriage
Dear Reader,
You are welcome to another
segment on this column.
Throughout this month, I shall be
deliberating on the topic: Making
Right Choices in Marriage.
Choice is one of the fundamental
principles of the Kingdom of God.
Whatever or wherever you are
today is a product of the choices
you made yesterday. Daily, you
and I are confronted with choices
whether to pray, what to eat,
what to wear, where to go, what
to buy, what to give, whom to
marry etc.
Choices make a world of
difference between success and
failure, joy and sorrow, peace
and chaos, life and death etc.
The Word of God says : I call
heaven and earth to record this
day against you, that I have set
before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore
choose life, that both thou and
thy seed may live (Deuteronomy
30:19).
From the above scripture, God
has given you the opportunity to
choose life. The choices you
make in life are determined by
the quality of your relationship
with God. The Word of God says:
For it is God which worketh in
you both to will and to do of his
good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
Let me show you one of the ways
of making a right choice in
marriage:
Get Acquainted with God
Being single is a time to be more
acquainted with God than any
other time. It is a time to
experience a closer communion
with God. The Word of God says :
Acquaint now thyself with him,
and be at peace: thereby good
shall come unto thee (Job 22:21)
. The closer you are to God
determines how close He will be
to you. The Word of God says: …
Draw nigh to God, and he will
draw nigh to you (James 4: .
When you build a closer
relationship with God and
acquaint yourself with Him, it is
only good that is permitted to
come your way. That good
includes a good husband or a
good wife. The Word of God
says: … Whoso findeth a wife
findeth a good thing…
(Proverbs18:22). If you are
single, this is the time you need
to build a closer relationship with
God and to develop yourself in
the things of God. Every time I
have the privilege, I tell ladies
who are not married yet that they
can be single and useful.
As a single man or woman, if you
will look up to Jesus and seek to
please Him, rather than being
concerned about a mate, soon,
you will meet the right one. As a
single, what are you expected to
do in your single days before you
find your covenant spouse? You
have to build a close relationship
with God. I see everyone reading
this article who is not yet
married but due for it,
successfully married in Jesus’
name. I see this year as your
year of breakthrough. If the devil
has said you will not get married,
with the enemy alive or dead, you
shall be married. Not just
married, you will be successfully
married. No more shame for you!
From glory to glory is your
portion this year!
What I am saying here is this:
You need to build a closer
relationship with God before you
get married. Learn to enjoy a
close walk with God. If as a
single, you read your Bible only
on Sundays when you go to
church, and after that, you close
it until next Sunday, you can’t
build a closer relationship with
God. If you eat your earthly food
three times daily, why do you
think you can go without
spiritual food for a whole day? I
see God releasing grace upon
you to be able to practice His
Word.
You need to find a place to serve
God in the church. There are
several arms in the church where
you can serve God. Don’t just be
a benchwarmer in the church;
God rewards only labourers. He
doesn’t reward benchwarmers or
onlookers. If you don’t belong to
any group that is contributing
something to the Kingdom of
God, go and join one; stop sitting
down in church and ‘warming the
bench’. From today, you will be a
contributing member in the body
of Christ. As you keep doing that,
God will keep rewarding you in
the name of Jesus Christ!
I can never forget some years
ago in Kaduna when we had a
convention. One of the women
came and her home was
troubled. In fact, her husband
was ready to send her away. To
complicate issues, she had no
child. When she came for the
convention, she told herself “I am
going to locate a place to serve.”
Then, she went to join the
Sanitation Group. That is, those
who clean the toilet. Not even
those that were cleaning the
sanctuary but toilet. God was not
only watching, He was working
and cleaning her marriage. The
meeting ended and she went
back home. Lo and behold, it was
a new marriage and a new
husband! As she was cleaning
out the dirt in the toilet, God was
cleaning out everything that
ought not to be in her marriage. I
see God doing the same thing in
your life today!
You cannot succeed in marriage
until you have succeeded as a
single. If as a single, you find it
difficult to pray, read your Bible,
attend fellowship or be in service
in the Kingdom and if your heart
is not panting after God, the
chances that you will develop
these habits after marriage are
slim. No serious-minded believer
will want to go into a
relationship with an unserious
Christian. The Word of God says:
But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and
all these things shall be added
unto you (Matthew 6:33). I want
you to know that a good husband
or a good wife is an addition.
Find a place, therefore, to serve
God and He will give you the
right partner.
Making right choices begins with
having a close relationship with
God. If you are not born again,
you need to surrender your life to
Christ. Surrendering to Christ
entails confessing your sins and
accepting Him as your Lord and
Saviour. If you want to do that
right now, you can say this
prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I
come to You today. I am a
sinner. Forgive me of my sins
and cleanse me with Your Blood.
Deliver me from sin and satan to
serve the living God. I accept You
as my Lord and Saviour. Make
me a child of God today. Thank
You for accepting me into Your
Kingdom.”
Congratulations! You are now
born again! All-round rest and
peace are guaranteed you, in
Jesus’ Name. |
The doubtful cannot
experience the miraculous.
Just like anxiety and faith,
doubt and faith cannot co-
exist. Doubt always stands as
barrier.

Overcoming Anxiety Authored
by FAITH A. OYEDEPO Calvary greetings to you in the precious name of Jesus Christ. What a privilege it is for me to bring light, peace, joy and laughter into your hearts and homes again this year 2016. I am sure you had a deeper relationship with God, and an inward crave for fulfillment in certain areas of your life last year. However, this year promises to be even more glorious than the previous. I'm glad to let you know that your season of shame is over. God's power and authority cannot be challenged. Recognize that solutions to all challenges are available with Him. God's desire is to meet you at the point of your needs and He is beginning from now. Remain ever Blessed! |
WITHOUT INVESTMENT…
Luke 14:28-30 – “For which of
you, intending to build a tower,
does not sit down first and count
the cost, whether he has enough
to finish it. Lest, after he has laid
the foundation, and is not able to
finish, all who see it begin to
mock him, saying, ‘This man
began to build and was not able
to finish”?
Just like with any other good
thing in life, a wonderful crisis-
free marriage doesn’t come
cheap; there is a major cost.
That Scripture above shows us
one of the many costs required to
have a great marriage;
INVESTMENT. Starting something
is never the issue, finishing it, is.
That is why Jesus talks about
having what is required to finish
that tower or building.
In monetary terms, an investment
is futuristic; we don’t invest for
now but for the future. At some
point you may have sought
advice from a financial planner
about investing in your future
and they may have told you that
if you want to have a robust
financial future, you must invest
your money regularly. How you
do so may change with certain
circumstances, but you must still
continually invest in order to
ensure a secure financial future.
Those same principles apply in
marriage or any relationship.
There might be times when it’s
easier (probably when the stock
market is rising and you’re
making money without even
trying). And there will be times
when, even though you are
putting forth a lot of effort, things
may still look like they are not
going forward (like when the
stock market dips). But your
hanging in for the long haul with
a futuristic picture in mind is
what will guarantee success.
As a single gentleman or lady
who desires marriage, what
investment have you made in
yourself and in your future? I
don’t mean just spiritual
investment but in other areas
such as improving your
character, wise financial
management, etc. The truth is
that God will give you a potential
spouse and the template for a
glorious marriage. But, it is what
you do with both that determines
whether you will have a glorious
marriage or not. Invest in
yourself so that you’re equipped
to co-design your marriage with
God and your future spouse. This
can still apply in a marriage; as a
husband or wife, sit down and do
an appraisal of your marriage;
talk it over with your spouse and
decide what you need to invest
for the sort of marriage you truly
desire.
Marriage itself demands
continuous investment. There is
a cost on your part – and it is
big investment for an extra-
ordinary marriage and little
investment for an ordinary
marriage. The cost may seem
BIG but remember the benefits
will also be BIG. No matter how
hard it looks, please know that
you can bear the cost – engage
God’s grace, use the bible,
receive divine wisdom, read
books, get the necessary
counseling, etc. Do what you
need to do; everything adds up.
Whatever the case, both people
must be willing and ready to
regularly invest in themselves
and in the relationship to make it
flourish. Just like your finances,
you can’t leave your marriage to
grow without investment!
You must have Christ in your life
to know how to invest. This
simply means that you must be
born again and you can only do
so by having a personal
relationship with Him. You can
do this by confessing your sins
and accepting Jesus as your
Lord and Saviour. That way, you
will be saved. If you are ready to
be saved, please say this prayer:
“ Lord Jesus, I come to You
today. I am a sinner. I can’t help
myself. Forgive me of my sins.
From today, I accept You as my
Lord and Saviour. Thank You
Jesus for saving me. Now, I
know I am born again. |

Women
Imagine a world without women
the crown of God’s creation!
Woman, God created you as a
unique personality, and He
expects you to add colour to your
world, so don’t look down on
yourself! Aren’t you glad that you
are a woman, the perfection of
God’s works? So special is the
woman that God had to rest after
crafting her and handing her over
to Adam, to be a suitable
assistant in the garden.
Concerning her, the Bible says:
This is the book of the
generations of Adam. In the day
that God created man, in the
likeness of God made he him;
Male and female created he
them; and blessed them, and
called their name Adam, in the
day when they were created
(Genesis 5:1-2). It is really
amazing that you were created in
the very image and likeness of
God, and not inferior to the male
gender! You need to discover all
that there is about you. As you
apply yourself to the teachings
on this site, you will learn how to
unleash your potentials, and see
a better you emerge. You are the
light your world is waiting for. Go

you will meet the right one. As a
single, what are you expected to
do in your single days before you
find your covenant spouse? You
have to build a close relationship
with God. I see everyone reading
this article who is not yet
married but due for it,
successfully married in Jesus’
name. I see this year as your
year of breakthrough. If the devil
has said you will not get married,
with the enemy alive or dead, you
shall be married. Not just
married, you will be successfully
married. No more shame for you!
From glory to glory is your
portion this year!
What I am saying here is this:
You need to build a closer
relationship with God before you
get married. Learn to enjoy a
close walk with God. If as a
single, you read your Bible only
on Sundays when you go to
church, and after that, you close
it until next Sunday, you can’t
build a closer relationship with
God. If you eat your earthly food
three times daily, why do you
think you can go without
spiritual food for a whole day? I
see God releasing grace upon
you to be able to practice His
Word.
You need to find a place to serve
God in the church. There are
several arms in the church where
you can serve God. Don’t just be
a benchwarmer in the church;
God rewards only labourers. He
doesn’t reward benchwarmers or
onlookers. If you don’t belong to
any group that is contributing
something to the Kingdom of
God, go and join one; stop sitting
down in church and ‘warming the
bench’. From today, you will be a
contributing member in the body
of Christ. As you keep doing that,
God will keep rewarding you in
the name of Jesus Christ!
I can never forget some years
ago in Kaduna when we had a
convention. One of the women
came and her home was
troubled. In fact, her husband
was ready to send her away. To
complicate issues, she had no
child. When she came for the
convention, she told herself “I am
going to locate a place to serve.”
Then, she went to join the
Sanitation Group. That is, those
who clean the toilet. Not even
those that were cleaning the
sanctuary but toilet. God was not
only watching, He was working
and cleaning her marriage. The
meeting ended and she went
back home. Lo and behold, it was
a new marriage and a new
husband! As she was cleaning
out the dirt in the toilet, God was
cleaning out everything that
ought not to be in her marriage. I
see God doing the same thing in
your life today!
You cannot succeed in marriage
until you have succeeded as a
single. If as a single, you find it
difficult to pray, read your Bible,
attend fellowship or be in service
in the Kingdom and if your heart
is not panting after God, the
chances that you will develop
these habits after marriage are
slim. No serious-minded believer
will want to go into a
relationship with an unserious
Christian. The Word of God says:
But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and
all these things shall be added
unto you (Matthew 6:33). I want
you to know that a good husband
or a good wife is an addition.
Find a place, therefore, to serve
God and He will give you the
right partner.
Making right choices begins with
having a close relationship with
God. If you are not born again,
you need to surrender your life to
Christ. Surrendering to Christ
entails confessing your sins and
accepting Him as your Lord and
Saviour. If you want to do that
right now, you can say this
prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I
come to You today. I am a
sinner. Forgive me of my sins
and cleanse me with Your Blood.
Deliver me from sin and satan to
serve the living God. I accept You
as my Lord and Saviour. Make
me a child of God today. Thank
You for accepting me into Your
Kingdom.”
Congratulations! You are now
born again! All-round rest and
peace are guaranteed you, in
Jesus’ Name.

Imagine a world without women
the crown of God’s creation!
Woman, God created you as a
unique personality, and He
expects you to add colour to your
world, so don’t look down on
yourself! Aren’t you glad that you
are a woman, the perfection of
God’s works? So special is the
woman that God had to rest after
crafting her and handing her over
to Adam, to be a suitable
assistant in the garden.
Concerning her, the Bible says:
This is the book of the
generations of Adam. In the day
that God created man, in the
likeness of God made he him;
Male and female created he
them; and blessed them, and
called their name Adam, in the
day when they were created
(Genesis 5:1-2). It is really
amazing that you were created in
the very image and likeness of
God, and not inferior to the male
gender! You need to discover all
that there is about you. As you
apply yourself to the teachings
on this site, you will learn how to
unleash your potentials, and see
a better you emerge. You are the
light your world is waiting for. Go
and shine forth!
