MaziOmenuko:
Its crazy how some pastors want to control the life of their members; I've had my reservations about their excesses, but right now, I'm very close to getting pissed.

My girlfriend returned to church today and engaged me in a long chat. She informed me that after church service today, her pastor had asked her to wait behind after service. This is not unusual as the pastor is a cordial fellow and likes to get to know his members, which is quite good if you'd ask me. This is like the third time he's asking her to wait after service for a brief discussion, other days he asks after her studies and to find out if she's still an active member of school fellowship and try to encourage her generally.

So according to her, he asked her to wait and she waited in front of his office. She had to be patient until he attended to all other members coming to greet him.

When he got to her, it was the usual inquiries and encouragement. According to her, after the pleasantries, he told her there was a very good 'son' of his he would like her to meet. By 'son' the pastor was referring to one of his members either in the church or someone he pastored somewhere else. He started by vouching for this his 'son', how he is devoted, God fearing and hardworking. He told her he would like her to meet this his son and give him a listening ear. According to my girl, the pastor even teased her that he, the pastor will like to be the one that will join them in holy matrimony because the so called 'son' was too dear to him.

He went on to make it even look like he was about to do her a favor. He stressed that he doesn't want his 'son' to be 'snatched' away by ladies of questionable character as it was not wise to be equally yoked with unbelievers.

Now, during the chat, I asked her what was her response to the pastor. This is exactly where I'm finding it hard to understand. She seem to be 'fearing' or 'over-respecting' her pastor and couldn't tell him she's already in a relationship. I asked her why she didn't tell her pastor so and she said she doesn't know how it will sound in the pastor's ears. Can you imagine?!?!

Now she seem confused as to how to disappoint the pastor and his 'son' as the pastor went on to schedule a meeting with them next week sunday as the supposed son will be coming down from one of the church branches for the meeting.

She put the question to me during the chat and asked me 'what will she do'. I take it that she's already made the mistake of not telling the pastor outrightly. I insisted she should have told him.

What do you think she should have done or not done; and what do you think is the way forward? I need reasonable comments so I will just have to post this page link on her bbm.
I don't think there's anything too serious here , I think you should stop getting emotional and leave it all to your fiancee(I don't use the word gf or bf) 's commjttment to the relationship , if she is , its easy to escape the trap but its all based on who she is , if she is convinced beyond doubt I don't think her respect for her pastor will break you up....
Meeting him is nothing , they can meet for business but she needs to let him know without smiling and without deciet that there is NO vacancy ...

[quote author=2SWT post=28643845][color=#006600]l met this guy some time ago we started dating some months later now its five months plus and we're still together...no problems, his family members like me and my parents also like him though they don't know that we are dating and l love this guy very much


months ago, l asked about his past relationships he told me everything about his Ex and he said they no longer talk so l said okay

fast forward to last week


one sunny afternoon, he called me and said he's coming over so l cancelled all my schedule for the day, went home and freshen up. I waited for many hours but he did show up so l went to his house and to my surprise he was with the Ex he told me he wasn't talking with, this brought up a serious argument and l opened up to him that l feel he's still dating her....he KNELT down apologised and said he loves me and will never cheat on me



It is wrong to assume you and your Ex would never meet or have any cause to talk together again , you no longer date but you may remain friends , the Ed might need something from your fiance or vice versa . don't take it personal

The Ten Commandments of Lasting Marriage
Commandment #8
Pastor E. O. T William

Don't Neglect Your Home!
Oftentimes in marriage this simple fact brings great problems, we get carried away with everything we are engaged in especially we the servants of God , we are always on the mission field forgetting that the greatest and most powerful mission is to build Your Home.

Your Home is your Primary Ministry , if you neglect it , you can't succeed working for God , never abandon your home while you claim to be working for God...... Your family needs you remember Eli's Prophetic Ministry was truncated because of his failed Home Ministry.
You'll not fail in Jesus Name .

AllNaijaBlogger:
There is an innate need to separate religion from spirituality.

Spirituality is for the individual while religion is for the masses.

Christians can differ in spirituality. You can't claim that listening to Wizkid devalues one's spirituality just because you don't like it.

I can agree on going to church partially but not music. Music is spiritual in itself.
My Brother , who you follow determines what follows you
You can't listen to worldly and profane music and still claim to be godly

FamilyA Christian Home by williams20(op): 11:24am On Nov 10, 2014
References : 2cor 1:12, Titus 2:12, 1 Tim 2:2 , 2Tim 4:7
Pastor Ezekiel O. William(c)

A christian home! One burning desire in the heart of every man and woman today is 'Lord I want to build a home' everyone desires a good wife , husband and obedient children, the embodiment of an ideal home but we do not sit to consider the qualities of the ideal home.

A christian home is the ideal home that longs after the will of the father , a home set apart in righteousness and in all meekness. A home built after the model of Christ (1Tim 4:12)
No couple ever desires wayward children and broken homes , we all want the ideal home where God dwells .
One question is 'why is our dream not always realised , homes are breaking up per second , children and youth becoming wayward and we begin to wonder what really happened and where did we get it wrong? I've discovered one thing to be true in all cases ' a man who fails to plan has failed even before start ' most of us only dream of the perfect t home, we share the dream with our family but how many of us work it out?

You can't build the ideal home by mere speculation , wishes or dreams , it requires careful and dedicated preparation and action. One of my favorite family hymns has this wonderful lyrics ……….

God give us Christian homes
Homes where the Bible is loved and taught
Homes where the master's will is sought
Homes crowned with beauty thy love has wrought
God give us Christian homes .


God give us Christian homes
Homes where the mother in queenly quest
Strives to show others thy way is best
Homes where the Lord is an honoured guest
God give us Christian homes …

Oh! What a great home! The Christian Home.
Highlighted below are few of the steps to take if you desire that Home.

1. Get Close to God while you're single .
Most singles today are too busy with the cares of the world and hardly develop their time tables to include God or the things of God.
How effectively you serve God while you're single determines how much of His presence you carry with you as yours years roll by, Remember you can't build a solid house on a weak foundation but there's room for repair, Oh ! You are now married , you've been married for several years , no matter his faulty you are, He can repair and FIX you.

2. Welcome Christ to your home.
Any Home where Christ is welcome is secure from perversion and the wiles of the devil .
Every home, life , business needs Him, until you welcome Him as an Honorable guest, That Home can't enjoy His direction.

3. Be committed to the things of God .
Be committed to the things of God, do the service actively and diligently, you can't claim to be godly and you handle the things of God with levity. When you get committed everyone around you and in your home replicates the same virtue.

4. Teach your home to love God.
If you teach your spouse and children the fear and love for God , there will be peace , joy and happiness in your home. A heart where God indwells will always seek to walk worthy of the name of Christ . there is nothing greater than building. Home after the heart of Christ . Remember your home is the GREATEST small nation that exists and influences the entire world, if every family member lives right , our community will be rightly judged and governed and our society will be built and remodelled to fit the Christ plan.

God Give us christian Homes.

Let us Pray!
Our Dear sovereign and eternal father, we've read in your word that nothing delights you than a home after your heart, a place where you inhabit and direct, Lord we need you to rebuild the foundation of our homes , lives , marriages so our lives can be remodelled to fit your purpose and plan for us and help us to stay continually on your track, these and more we ask of thee in the name of your precious son Jesus.
Amen!

Its all about the individuals involved.
its the most possible scenario, sex is not love and love is not sex.
marriage is more than just the physical attractions , it means much more than sex or romance. the whole idea of marriage is companionship and should be treated as such. when you marry forsex and romance you end up getting tired of the whole sex thing cos that was the reason your mind was programmed to go into the relationship for.

5 Secrets to discovering God's will - Daniel Kolenda
Get Moving

Secret #5 - Part 2

This Bible study has been taken from chapter 10 of LIVE BEFORE YOU DIE

In order to fly, an airplane needs “lift.” Lift comes from speed, and speed comes from “thrust.” Thrust is the power that pushes the aircraft forward, and without it nothing else matters. The aerodynamic design, the well-trained pilot in the cockpit, the sophisticated navigational technology, and the tank full of jet fuel are all useless unless the engines come alive and provide forward motion. In your life the only one who can provide the forward motion is you. God will be your pilot. He will provide the wind beneath your wings and the fuel in your tank, but you have to give Him some momentum to work with. You cannot do God’s part, and God will not do your part. Your part is to get into gear, get off your backside, and get moving. Reinhard Bonnke has said, “God will lift you out of the deepest pit, but He won’t lift you out of an easy chair—you have to do that yourself.” So what are you waiting for? How long will you do nothing while you grow old in the wilderness of inaction?

It is true that God opens doors, and sometimes particular doors are not opened for a variety of reasons. But it is very unlikely that all the doors are shut. Imagine a man sitting at a red light in the downtown area of a big city. The light in front of him turns green, but when he looks ahead he sees that the next five lights are still red. Should he sit at the green light in front of him and just wait for all the other lights to turn green as well? Of course not! He should move through the green light he has. Yet many people fail to move through the green light God has given them because they foresee obstacles ahead that they don’t know how to handle.

In Joshua 3 we read about the children of Israel encountering the obstacle of the Jordan River, which was overflowing and impossible to cross. In obedience to the Lord Joshua told the priests to take the ark of the covenant and go forward into the waters of the Jordan. This surely would have seemed like a ridiculous idea, but look at what happened.
And when those who carried the ark came into the Jordan,
and the feet of the priests carrying the ark were dipped in
the edge of the water... the waters which were flowing down
from above stood and rose up in one heap... So the people
crossed opposite Jericho. Joshua 3:15-16, NAS
Now if Joshua had been trained in one of our fine Bible colleges, he probably would have given more mature advice. He would have said, “Gentlemen, we are going to wait right here until the Lord ‘opens a door’ for us.” But if that had been his command, their skeletons would still be decomposing somewhere on the banks of the Jordan River, because the water was not going to part for them until their feet got wet! My friend, sometimes you need to just go ahead and get your feet wet in faith and see what the Lord will do for you!

In Matthew 14:22-29 we read the story of how Peter walked on the water. It was early in the morning when Jesus came walking toward the disciples’ boat on the turbulent sea. When the disciples saw Him, they thought it was a ghost and they cried out in fear, but Jesus said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

“Lord, if it’s You,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to You on the water.” “Come,” He said. Notice that Jesus didn’t say, “Peter, come.” He simply said, “Come.” Do you realize what this means? Any of the disciples could have responded to that word and walked on the water. People often criticize Peter for taking his eyes off Jesus and sinking, but I admire him for being the only one willing to get out of the boat. You will never walk on water if you’re not willing to step out of the boat!

This secret is so simple and yet underemphasized in the Christian world. Some people seem to think that taking action demonstrates a lack of faith. On the contrary, faith without works is dead! Said another way, faith without action is dead! All of the planning, waiting, and wishing is wasted time if you are not going to take action. If you want to learn to swim, you are going to have to go ahead and take the plunge.

We are usually all too aware of our inadequacies and deficiencies. The best way to address these issues is to begin to move forward. Momentum and motion will make everything in your life easier to steer. As you move forward, you’ll discover what really needs your attention, you’ll be incentivized to deal with it urgently, you’ll make the needed adjustments, and you’ll be able to empirically gauge your progress. You’ll discover that many of your previous concerns were nonsense and that you had never even considered many of the real issues you needed to confront.

Jack Canfield, the very successful businessman and author, wrote about this secret in his best-selling book The Success Principles: “Successful people have a bias for action. Most successful people I know have a low tolerance for excessive planning and talking about it. They are antsy to get going. They want to get started. They want the games to begin... Planning has its place, but it must be kept in perspective. Some people spend their whole lives waiting for the perfect time to do something. There’s rarely a ‘perfect’ time to do anything. What is important is to just get started. Get into the game. Get on the playing field. Once you do, you will start to get feedback that will help you make the corrections you need to make to be successful.

IS YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE ?

SERIES 004

Continued from last week ……………….(matt 5:16, I timothy 4vs12)

Does your character promote or defame Christ?
Character counts , integrity matters , what kind of character do you have? Are you a man or woman of personal integrity?
What makes a man a believer is not what he is on Sunday, but what he is from Monday through Saturday
The time to decide what you are going to do is not when you face the temptation to compromise, is it now! You determine the evening of your life by the morning of it. You determine what you will do tomorrow by what you resolve to do today.
Mistakes can be very costly, no matter how little they may appear at first.
Being a pastor , an evangelist , teacher etc is not an assurance of making heaven. Hence the question ‘what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul” is not a question of death but of the afterlife”
You might have tried your best in the past, to live a holy and acceptable life, but its time you quit trying because with an abundance of our strength the spirit is absent but when we quit trying the spirit comes to our rescue.
Don’t miss the next series ………………..stay blessed.
In His service
