WORK TOWARD INTIMACY

Few people realize that the seeds of either success or failure in marriage are sown during the dating period. Habits, attitudes, and thought processes that characterize a person’s dating relationships will carry over into that person’s marriage. As a single, if you want to ensure success in your future marriage, the time to plan and prepare for that success is now, while you are dating. That is why it is just as important to prepare yourself for dating as it is to prepare yourself for marriage. The standards for
successful dating are the same as those for successful marriage. According to the majority of marriage counselors, one of the most common reasons for the breakup of marriages at any stage is lack of intimacy. Most people associate intimacy with physical or sexual relations, but it is much deeper than that. Those who feel that having sex brings them intimacy are only scratching the surface. Intimacy is not an act. Intimacy is a state of existence in which both partners in a relationship trust the other more and more with their innermost thoughts. They trust each other more and more with their innermost wishes, dreams, and desires. They trust each other more and more with their innermost emotions. Intimacy, then, is the key to any successful relationship. Most modern relationships, marriage or otherwise, fall far short of attaining genuine intimacy.
One reason for this is because, in our distorted age of romanticism, manipulation, microwave speed and 30-second sound bites, we expect instant intimacy. This is a false expectation and can be fatal to a relationship. True intimacy takes time to develop. Many people try to take a short cut to intimacy through physical relations, which

spiritual they may be, or how much prayer or fasting they have done, or even how full of the Spirit they are, they will face daunting obstacles in their relationship as they seek to walk in harmony. It is not impossible—the Spirit of God can bring harmony of mind and spirit—but it is difficult. One of the major problems we face today in our relationships is that so many people want God’s results without following God’s principles. They look for a godly return without making a godly investment. Everyone seeks success in their relationships, but many have little real interest in God’s place in those relationships. It is completely unreasonable to ignore God’s standards and still expect a godly outcome. Walking in agreement does not mean always seeing eye-toeye on absolutely everything, but it does mean being in basic agreement in the Lord. Paul made this plea to two women who were part of the body of believers in the city of Philippi: “I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord” (Phil. 4:2). Unity begins with basic agreement in spirit, which then leads to harmony of mind, thought, and judgment. It is completely unreasonable to ignore God’s standards and still expect a godly outcome. Spiritual agreement in the Lord is the basis for agreement in every other area. It is the foundation stone for every truly successful, productive, and fruitful relationship. People can share common interests, intellectual pursuits, and have the same goals, but without spiritual agreement, they will still have broken relationships. The secret to perfect agreement is to agree in the Lord. Our fundamental agreement must be spiritually based, which then provides a solid foundation for agreement in other areas. The basis for spiritual agreement is the Word

they are already aligned in a manner that enables them easily to walk in agreement with each other. This is an important consideration for people who are preparing to date. To walk in agreement with one another, as believers, is a central biblical principle, a primary characteristic of godliness. In the Old Testament book of Amos, God calls His people to task for their idolatry and disobedience, and then asks a fundamental question: Hear this word the Lord has spoken against you, O people of Israel—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt: “You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins.” Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?(Amos 3:1-3) The implication is that no one can walk together in unity and harmony unless they agree to do so. Nobody can walk with God unless they agree to walk according to His principles and His Word. Walking together is contingent upon agreement. This same principle also has a prominent place in the New Testament. In addressing the problem of divisions between believers in the Church at Corinth, Paul writes, “I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought” (1 Cor. 1:10). Unity of mind and thought—walking in agreement—is the kind of relationship believers must have in order to experience God’s power. This is true whether we are talking about a fellowship of believers, two believers joining together in marriage, or two believers entering into a dating relationship. For example, consider the case of a Baptist dating a Catholic. No one can deny the fact that significant theological and doctrinal differences exist between Baptists and Catholics. These differences will make it very challenging, even difficult for this couple to walk together in agreement. No matter how

WALKINGINAGREEMENT A man and a woman who find each other while walking on the road to the Kingdom of God have a distinct advantage in their relationship over people who enter relationships born in the alleys and byways. Because they are moving in the same direction with a similar passion for God and hunger for His righteousness,

These are important questions that deserve solid answers. Understanding dating is essential not only for teenagers and their parents, but also for older, newly single people who, because of divorce or widowhood, are re-entering the dating scene. Habits and attitudes established during the dating years generally carry over into marriage. One of the most common questions that parents and their teenage children ask is, “How old should a person be before dating?” The answer is not as simple as some try to make it. In reality, the question of when a young person is ready to date is very subjective, depending on the parents’ attitudes and the developmental level of the child. There is more involved than simply assigning a chronological age. Adolescents mature at different rates, and girls usually mature faster and earlier than boys do. Some children may be ready to date at the age of 13, while others may be 18 before they are ready. A person’s readiness to date is largely a matter of maturity and environment. Part of maturity is knowledge, and there are four principles or prerequisites that every person should meet before they begin dating. Knowing and applying these principles will help ensure dating success regardless of a person’s status: younger, older, never married, or newly single again. THREEPRINCIPLESOFDATINGREADINESS 1.First of all, you are not ready to date until you are fully aware of both the benefits and the dangers of dating. Once you understand not only the perks but also the pitfalls of dating, you are mature enough to begin opening yourself up to more serious relationships. The primary benefit of dating is the opportunity to get to know someone new, to build a new friendship with a member of the opposite sex.

Young people all over the world, regardless of culture, share at least one thing in common: the challenge of growing into successful adults. Every society has its own customs in this regard, certain rites of passage through which its youth must navigate successfully in order to be recognized as mature, responsible men and women. In Western countries, one of the most common and socially significant of these customs is dating. The word “dating” comes from the idea of “setting a date,” where two people (or more, if on a group date) agree to get together at a certain time and place for recreation and fellowship. Dating is an important vehicle in our culture for giving young men and women the opportunity to get to know one another in a socially acceptable manner. Although dating as we know it today is not a Scriptural concept, it nevertheless has become thoroughly imbedded as a social norm. From a sociological standpoint, dating trends and practices indicate overall societal health, because the way people behave while dating usually reveals how they will behave when married. Habits and attitudes established during the dating years generally carry over into marriage. As important as dating is in our society, however, questions remain in the minds of both parents and young people alike. What, exactly,isdating? What is its purpose? When is a person “ready” to date? What guidelines are appropriate for a dating..,...to be continue

Curb from waiting and dating by Late Dr. Myles Munroe

SUMMARY FOR THE CONFERENCE THEME: MEDICINE - A MINISTRY

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. (Genesis 2:15 KJV)

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country (Mathew 21:33 KJV)

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. (Luke 19:13 KJV)

The World over, medicine is a celebrated profession. This comes from a special fact that we deal with lives, which also accounts for the special prestige accorded to the profession. The prestige to the profession however, is gradually declining because there is a shift in the main focus that made the profession reach the pinnacle it attained. A close look will show that in those foundational years of medicine, the Patient was the most important person in the hospital setting; as such, health workers gave their best to these ‘important’ persons even more than themselves. They never had the spot light and focus on themselves, but they focused on working on and for the patient and gave their best to their work. Their results were clearly evident. They lived within much boundaries of contentment and were committed and dedicated to their work; some saw their work as actually points to offer service to humanity and nothing short of that. They saw themselves as integrated Christians, and saw medicine as ministry. If all they did in life was to fulfil the vision they were given, they had done enough. After all, every acquisition, accomplishment and position will end here on earth.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Mat 25:37-40 KJV)

Unfortunately, it is evident that our vineyard or garden is filled with weeds while we celebrate being busy with several things: academic work, examinations, social, church, and several private interests. Indeed any integrated Christian would see medicine as a ministry, where he has been given a pulpit or other platform to draw men to eternal life including people of different ethnicities, the poor, the rich, the healthy and sick, and all kinds of people that come to the garden (health sector) that he has been primarily commissioned to tend and watch over.

Often, we complain about everyone else’s contribution to the rot in the health sector, but spare ourselves, because we believe we are doing God’s work, especially in our churches. While such service is critical and ought to be done by us, it seems the devil will only be smiling at us if we make Samaria a beauty, while our own Jerusalem is filled with weeds. Little wonder he keeps us from doing anything deliberate about our own Jerusalem in a collective way. Little wonder we prefer individualism. At times, it appears as if we will have a chance later in life to actually carry out the vision, for example, after we have retired.

It also appears very strange that after receiving training in being a medical doctor and the vision of caring for the whole man, which to a large extent reminds us of the reason why our lifetime has been given to us, something makes us abandon that vision at the time that we become certified to start its implementation. That ‘something’ is unlikely to be the Lord because He never wastes his investments!

Something strange also seems to keep us from seeing value in coming together to pray, to plan and to support each other. This is despite the realisation that we spend most of our time in the health sector: yet we seem to have so little interest in seeking to come together to make decisions that will take the harvest coming through the health sector. At times, when we do come together as students or doctors, some meetings and interactions among us around the nation appear to be reduced to the concerts of this world, and sometimes, one can smell Babylon. In some cases, many of us and our events no longer seem different from the world. Terrifying! For danger it is carrying hearts of flesh to mission grounds.

The main reason we are Christian medics, is not to earn a living or to survive, that is, if we have the mind of Christ.  When God decided to make us medics, he had several expectations attached with it. He saw us as agents of Change. He saw us as channels through which many would enter the kingdom. He didn’t see us struggling for power, position, prestige, quarrelling everywhere and always trying to make a point. In recent times, things have changed and are rather deteriorating. Apart from the glaring fact that focus has shifted, there is such an unusual and unhealthy concentration on the personality and the rights of the Doctor, rather than on service. The reason for the health sector’s existence now seems to be the Doctor, rather than the patient. This has also shaped the thinking of an average Doctor, changed his identity and image with an increasing measure of the picture being marred. This explains the lack of satisfaction, low zeal, passion, commitment and the poor response to the needs of patients and reverence for the vulnerable. Though trained to save lives, many a doctor no longer have this clear picture as their philosophy of life, nor in their practice. How long will this go on?

Hosea 6: 1-3... Come and let us return unto the Lord; for he hath torn, and he will heal us’ he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us, in the third day he will raise us up and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord; hi going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as  the latter  and the former rain unto the earth.

In this conference, we seek to, under God, make a rediscovery of our calling and ministry and retrace our steps back to the fundamentals that differentiates a Christian doctor and student as stewards of a profession that handles the sacredness and sanctity of the human life. In doing this, we will be pointing everyone to God’s Pattern Son; The Lord Jesus Christ who is also the Great Physician. We see from Scriptures consistently, how he had compassion when he saw people who were harassed, troubled, in distress and also how he treated the sick with such love and compassion. With this understanding, may we cry unto the potter, to mould us afresh, and may we be willing to make the commitment to pattern our lives after his Life in complete obedience. Until this is done, we may not see change.

For CMDA...students and doctors, you can share your experience in reaching patient for God.

-The King of the eternal and invisible kingdom desired to extend his own nature and influence to the physical realm of earth, which He created.
- the kingdom of heaven is his governing influence over the world, impacting and influencing it with his wil, his purpose and intent.
- Heaven is God's kingdom or home country, and earth is his colony
