01-04-16 Who Should I Marry 1

"No eye has SEEN, no ear has HEARD and no mind has IMAGINED what God has prepared for those who LOVE him" (1 Corinthians 2:9b NLT)

We established yesterday that judgment with your naked eyes as regards whom your partner could be, is limited in itself. Life partner decision should not be a guess.
You need to see through the eyes of the Spirit of God.

The passage tells us that no eye, no ear, no mind or imagination, knows the WILL of God in marriage if you truly love God.
Why should your Reverend, Pastor, Bishop, Pope, or Prophet, Friends or Discipler decide for you?
Their counsel is to guide you not to incapacitate the help of the Holy Spirit.

The major problem always comes when your relationship with the God and His Spirit is breached.

True loves believes and has faith in you to become better, it is beyond the physical, but with great foresight and intentions.

Eye hath not seen the things God prepare for those who LOVE Him.

We'll continue tomorrow by God's grace.

Jesus loves you

31-03-16 EYES OF THE SPIRIT

"But it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." (1 Corinthians 2:9)

Many are confused on how get the right partner. Some actually got it right but does not want the character the person possesses, so they tend to walk away searching for the one that suits them.

Remember you were worst before God picked you up and cleaned you. He didn't give up on you. How far have you helped your fellow friend before giving up?

Back to the subject matter of today, if you continue to search for a soulmate with your naked eyes and qualities, you may end up frustrated, you need the eyes of the Spirit.
The plans of God for those who LOVE Him are special and unique

Give Him your HEART and you will not suffer HEART BREAK.

We'll continue from here tomorrow.

Jesus cares about you,
I care also

30-03-16 PATIENCE

"That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE obtained the promises. Hebrews 6:12"

It is easy to Love than to ABIDE in Love. Love experiences TRIALS.
The present situation may differ your plans; people tend to ask you questions you have no answer for while moving on the road of Love and marriage.

It is compulsory to exercise GREAT PATIENCE in the WILL of God, or else, the love will die.
You need to believe in yourselves as God believes in you. Your love for your partner will definitely be tried, before and after your marriage but BE NOT SLOTHFUL(LAZY) IN YOUR DUTY as the man or woman(Be hard working),  HAVE FAITH IN GOD also in your partner, AND EXERCISE PATIENCE.

Patience outside faith is a waste of time. Your doubt will ruin your partner if care is not taken. If you don't believe in Him or Her, let the relationship stop. Its dangerous to continue.

***Exercise reasonable patience with your partner on the journey of LOVE and through FAITH, obtain the promises together.***

God cares, I care.

29-03-16 ENSNARED

Its another Privilege and Grace to be with you this day.

We discussed the 3 types of ring yesterday, do well to go through that recipe. We received some responses from that recipe. God bless you.

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 2:14".

Any marital relationship with an unbeliever is a SNARE on the GLORIOUS DESTINY of a believer.

Samson's awesome destiny was truncated on the laps of Delilah,
his eyes of understanding got blindfolded before his physical eyes were gorged out. His reasoning was affected in the name of LOVE.

Beware of an ENGAGEMENT with an unbeliever no matter the number of years you've spent; it will ensnare your destiny, truncate and pluck out your eyes (VISION).
It may appear REAL on the Surface, you may not see the depth just like Samson couldn't see the end from the beginning.

28-03-16 RING SIZE

It's a great opportunity to be with you on this channel on an Easter Morning. I'm sorry the recipe was not sent yesterday, family responsibility calls for my time.

Our major focus today is the sizes of ring we have. As I've earlier mentioned on Saturday, there are three types, namely: Oversize, Undersize and Perfect size.

"A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a JUST WEIGHT is his delight." Proverbs 11:1

Oversize ring signifies a marriage less-prepared for.
When the vision of your partner is bigger than you, your help/support may not be enough for his/her achievements. At first you may not see it as a big deal until strangers come in, to be of great help.

Although, Its still solvable if you are willing to learn and learn fast; if your partner is patient and loving; if you are ready to yield to corrections and ENLARGE YOUR CAPACITY. It requires great SACRIFICE in LOVE.

Undersize ring signifies an unprepared marriage. When you assume to blend with your partner's vision/calling after getting the ring and later have no interest in it.

This could be so FRUSTRATING. The reality always dawn when you see yourself useless in your own home, even to your partner due to lack of knowledge and interest in your partner's calling, ministry, job, mission and vision. You might have enjoyed the fun of the relationship and neglect your area of interests.

When the ring is too tight and you're just managing it,  It will definitely wound you.
The work to be done here will take more time, willingness, grace to adapt, and divine assistance . You must be sober and ready to go to the extreme of Learning because it signifies that your big vision is laid on a small bed.

Perfect size is the BEST. You are so much familiar and knowledgeable of your partner's VISION, you have PREPARED yourself on how to be of great help. You were not carried away by the fun of engagement but the REAL PURPOSE of the engagement.
With a perfect-sized ring, challenges will not surprise you in your home, you already have an idea of how to go about it. You are willing to see your partner succeed and have position yourself to learn.

Above all, divine assistance is necessary.

26-03-16 JUST THE RING?

"Marriage is honorable in all...(Hebrews 13:4)

Marriage is awesome because God Himself instituted it. It is beneficial to the couple, the church and the world at large. It has HONOUR attached to it.

Marriage is worth preparing for. It requires great efforts to actually prepare for it, not with levity. Some sees it as nothing new under heaven, as a bridge they can easily cross as they approach.

Have you heard someone mention, 'I can't wait to have my wedding ring on my finger.'
I know you will smile.

I will love to remind you:
Ring comes with responsibility, commitment and dedication.
Forget about the respect it earns for now and work on the responsibility attached.

From my little research, many rings are just showoff, the home is dead.

I want you to really prepare yourself in all areas of life for the ring you are about to get; live daily as a responsible man who has family to cater for, also as a woman who has a home to build.
Nobody should tell you before you learn marriage codes of conduct.
In your present place of stay, take it as yours and as sample for practicals. Invest on materials that will enlighten you more, on godly homes, love and romance in marriage...

Above all, allow the Holy Spirit teach you through the word of God.

We have oversize ring, undersize ring, perfect-size ring. We will continue from here tomorrow by God's grace.

25-03-16 TIME WASTERS

"He hath made everything beautiful in His time..." Ecclesiastes 3:11a

Its another wonderful privilege to share today's recipe with you.

Time wasters are partners with no specific destination in mind.
They are engaged but with no vision/intention of settling with their present partner.

They are confused personalities. They are going no where with you and will not release you to go because they just enjoy your company, not as if they have plans to spend the rest of their days with you.
They tie you down with sweet words, shower you with gifts, give you vain promises and your company gives them sweet pleasure.

It is better to be single than to be engaged with a Time Waster; it brings happiness on the SURFACE but sorrow on the INSIDE. They behave so serious at a time, and unserious at another time (Unstable as water).

My dear Friend, the purpose of your relationship must be SMART:
Specific;
Measurable;
Achievable;
Realistic;
Time-bound.
If not, excuse yourself and go back to your source which I believe is God.

Don't be blindfolded by the actions or words of time wasters. The above qualities must be intact.

Some engaged youths are not sure if it will lead to the altar (specific), there has been nothing done together in terms of great plans (measurable), it looks unreal (achievable), its too deceitful to be true, no agreement on issues (realistic), settling time is not in view (time-bound)but they are enjoying each other's company. This is not wisdom, work on it, no matter your present age, inasmuch as you are in a relationship.

Be sure you are not with a Time Waster.

24-03-16 SOURCE OF JOY

"Rejoice not in iniquity but rejoice in the truth. 1 Corinthians 13:6 KJV"

As an engaged young man or lady, I want you to ask yourself this question and answer sincerely, not to me but to your partner:
What gives me great joy about my partner and our relationship?

I discovered that what gives most engaged youth great joy is INIQUITY, they eat & dance even in their sin. They look forward to their meeting schedules because of fondling, kissing, and sexual pleasures.

In our time now, we term sexual addiction between a man and lady as Lovely relationship;
Family introduction as marriage. You will see unmarried partners spending days together, sleeping in the same house, on the same bed, satisfying sexual pleasures in the name of DECEIT that one day they will get married. And some parents supports the idea because their child is due for marriage; they encourage them to sleep and have fun together. Some even demand for pregnancy before wedding. Hmmm!

We tend to rejoice in our iniquities.

Remember, Marriage is honorable in all AND BED UNDEFILED: but WHOREMONGERS and  ADULTERERS God will Judge. (Hebrews 13:4)

Many rejoices at defiling the bed and still look forward to pastoral blessings on the altar during wedding ceremony when already judged and cursed. Hmmm!

Let's stop deceiving ourselves, please.

In the past, wedding night is a day couples-to-be always look forward to. Today, there is nothing new about the woman or man that will excite them on their wedding night they are already living couple's life before wedding. They just mark their wedding with DATE, OUTFITS and FOOD.
Can the blessing on the altar be effective when the bed is defiled?

My friend, rejoice in the Truth daily especially on your wedding day, not in INIQUITY.

PURITY ALL THE WAY...

23-03-16 TRIALS

"Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayers." Romans 12:12

Friends, I really appreciate the feedbacks I got yesterday. We trust God to still dig deep into that aspect as He helps us. Be sure that you are not lonely, someone loves you so much and cares about you.

Can you show me a relationship or possibly marriage without a TRIAL period?

This morning, I see the need to remind ourselves the subject matter we discussed on the 6th of February, which is CONTENTMENT: Stop seeing other relationships or marriages better than yours instead work at making yours better of. Some are like white Sepulchres while some result from the selfless sacrifices of the partners.

Today, we are considering TRIALS in relationships.
What does that suppose to mean? There will always be difficult times at a point in our relationships when our FAITH, HOPE and BELIEVE in our partner and the journey ahead is tried.
Some are presently experiencing such, some overcame and some gave up on each other.

Trial period is the time when the truth and genuineness of your LOVE is tested. The time when you are pushed to the wall thinking whether to turn back or Trust and wait for a WAY in the wall.

The SUCCESS or FAILURE of the trial period most times depends on the FOUNDATION on which the relationship was built; the outright convictions before the journey started with your partner.

The bible passage above gave continuous reply in time of trial: REJOICING in hope, PATIENT in tribulation, CONTINUING INSTANT in PRAYER.

This is a continuous lasting solution during trials and confusion. PEACE!

22-03-16 HANDLING LONELINESS 2

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10"

On the 13th of this month, we considered the first part of 'Handling Loneliness', we bless God for the lives transformed by that recipe.

We said, It is possible to be single and not LONELY.

The antidote for singleness is not spending hours with movies, occupying yourself with stressful job/work/chores, playing games for hours, long chats, grooving with friends at the club or bar, unnecessary visits so as not to nurse wrong thoughts. Some prefer to tour countries, states and towns to be able to meet someone to possibly settle down with.

At the state of single hood, you must be 100% careful because you will  meet some people who resembles your partner(someone you wish to marry). How?

A man or woman, of a marriageable age without a fiance or fiancée will frequently have thoughts like: 'PROBABLY ITS THIS PERSON', towards any new friend: PRETENCE sets in. They tend to HIDE their FLAWS and become an ANGEL for that particular time/period of conversation. Followed be frequent dreams of the person, calls, chats, fantasising, proposal, and lastly, wedding.

God is telling you this time, friend, be STILL and KNOW that I am God.
Don't set any CHOICE strategy for yourself or position yourself for false proposal in the name of loneliness or frustration.

Occupy yourself and time with the fulfilment and manifestation of Purpose.

If you are yet to discover your true identity and purpose, you are not fit for marriage, you will mislead your home.

The more time gold uses in the FIRE, the finer and glowing it becomes. Your patience in the Fire is necessary for Glory.

Be Still!

God can never forget you.

21-03-2016 CHOOSE ACCOUNTABILITY

Its a wonderful morning in His presence and love!

I hope you have started taking practical steps of our last recipe- 'BE COMMITTED'. God bless you as you do the right thing in Jesus name, Amen.

I will love to remind my friend, once your relationship starts, your time, choices and decisions are NO longer PERSONAL. You now have a close friend to share burdens, aspirations, inspirations, desires and passions with.

You need to be ACCOUNTABLE to your partner.

You can't just take your bag and go on a trip without your partner's awareness; you can't embark on a project outside his/her knowledge.

Reasonable surprises are good and allowed.

It is TRUE LOVE when you carry your partner along with ALL your involvement. Its pride when you only inform God and hide it from your partner. That depicts fear or doubt is still swimming in your marital conviction.

If your are so sure that your partner is the will of God for your life journey, You must be ACCOUNTABLE to such.
Don't form BUSYNESS.

18-03-16 BE COMPASSIONATE

Keeping diary of your partner's fault or mistakes is very wrong. Some keep such information even with date; they use it as evidence whenever there is misunderstanding.
They explode when the peak they can take is reached, they burst and recall all the mistakes in great anger.

I smile.
It shouldn't be. There is remedy to that from the word of God.

Be of one mind, having COMPASSION one of another, LOVE as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.(1 Peter 3:8)

Love does not complain on all matters, there are things you can bear without complaining when you are sure it was a mistake and not intentional.

Be compassionate especially with the WEAK point of your partner, don't use it to torment him/her instead work at changing it to an area of great strength.

For example, if your partner easily forget issues discussed or special dates, do well to assist in reminding him/her, not nagging or having grudges about it; with time, patience and prayers, good changes will come on all weak points.

Be tenderhearted with good intentions towards ALL, it brings out the uniqueness in you.

17-03-16 A MUST FOR ALL

Its a beautiful morning, still glowing in grace, bouncing in the Lord, rejoicing in hope, with faith in our heart.
Our focus point this awesome morning is A MUST FOR ALL.
What could it be? Especially in our relationship.

Before Honour is HUMILITY. Pride goes before a fall.

Over the years, we've heard issues of break-ups on marital relationships. Looking at the causes we discovered one major factor amongst others, very common, -PRIDE. Simply known as absence or opposite of Humility.

For a example, a man/woman without a job/money while in a  relationship will so much behave his/herself but the real attitude/behaviour will be known when wealth comes for anyone of the parties before marriage; of which larger percentage results in nagging, fight and break-ups, then change of relationship partner to someone who best fit into the present status.

This is true even among those who claimed to have mighty revelations before proposals and acceptance.
Why do we allow situations to make decisions for us and not the other  way round?

Many become proud at heart to forsake our former love and cling to a new heart rob whom they feel they matched.

'PRIDE goes before a fall.'

It is advisable to be wise, ignore nagging, quarrels, unbelieve, doubts and fights because of money.

Instead, Humble yourself to God and your partner no matter the present income or resources, discover and fight the real enemy since you are sure the Lord is your guide.

It is pride to expect the whole world of luxury before you propose or accept when God is saying GO.

A man's pride will bring him low but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Every humble one will be Honoured.

Bear in mind where God is leading you, humble yourself at His word/instructions and you will have a great catch (catch of favour and opportunity).

Be humble to God, your partner and everyone around you no matter their status financially and otherwise.
It is a must for all.

16-02-16 SMALL god

Temitope waited many years for divine direction to have a partner. Throughout these waiting period, the presence of God was always his delight. As a successful fellow who never wanted to choose as his friends chose, was consistent and steadfast in the affairs of the kingdom. Everyone loves to pray and wish him well in his marital pursuit which he believed God will settle him at His time.
At his work place, friends and colleagues sees him as a role model and mentor, a great pattern and example to follow and emulate. He is stable in his feelings for his co-worker especially the opposite sex. He never had bad intentions towards them as God helped him.
At 34, He finally met his rib, his woman, at a conference which he attended in another city with the singles of his place of worship. He waited for the right time to propose after due processes have been followed and they got married.
His wife is so fervent, hardworking and committed at home, office and in the house of God.
It was a wonderful testimony for Temitope who now had the boldness to address singles to be patient in the area of Choice.
Few months after his wedding, he relented in his devotions and sees his wife as a perfect being to always be with.
He quited mid-week services and decided to be with his wife or take her out on an outing. He withdrew his help to the orphanage to build a mighty complex for his woman. At first,  people thought it was because they just got married but it continued like that for five years. His mentality and responses at his place of work changed and it became so obvious to those who knew him before. He tends to put his wife above anything because he waited to have her. Can you advise him?

The fact that God answers your prayer after a long time should not take your life from Him. Some are close to God because of what they needed. They prefer PRESENTS to His PRESENCE and once they have the PRESENT, they move away slowly from HIS PRESENCE.

As a single or married, love your partner but love God more. He has the best strategy of love to teach you. It is good to love and have time for your partner but be wise by not turning your partner to your 'small god' in the name of love and neglecting the God answered your prayers.

14-03-16 DEAL WITH YOUR FEARS

This subject matter- 'Fear' is common in relationship issues. Why?

You see a man who is afraid of proposing to a lady, why?
Also, a lady who is never ready to get serious maritally with any man because of some certain reasons.

Discoveries showed different reasons out of which are the FEAR of the UNKNOWN, PAST DISAPPOINTMENTS, PAST SCARS & STIGMA etc.

I will mention a just two scenarios. There was a man who vowed never to propose to any woman because his first woman died during childbirth. He got disappointed in himself and God.

Also, there was a lady who had made up her mind never to get married because of the various disappointments she suffered from men. She believed all men are the same. She had a child from one of her past relationship. She decided to be a single mother for life.

TEARS from past disappointments should not bring FEAR of a new appointments if proper CORRECTIONS have been made.

For disappointments to occur, a MISTAKE must have been made somewhere.

The giant to face is the MISTAKE not depriving yourself of Future Joy.
If you refused to go into another relationship because of the failed ones, your strength is small.
Disappointments give the grace of doing things right, now in PATIENCE & PROPERLY.

Handle your disappointments with the comfort of the Holy Spirit not just fellow men, you may only get pity.

Fear should have no place in you as a child of God; your have received the spirit of adoption to cry and speak to God as your Father, to present all your petitions to Him leaving nothing out.
He hears and speaks.
He has the best for you, you will smile again.
No fear in True Love.

13-03-2016 HANDLING LONELINESS

This topic was posed to my heart early this morning: Singles and Loneliness.
Do you know you can be Single and not lonely?

I discovered that we have singles of marriageable age who see themselves as being lonely because they are not engaged yet and love to get pity from friends and others around them.

Singlehood should not attract a feeling of loneliness for a Vision Carrier.
When you are alone, it is easier to focus on some goals without distraction of daily texts messages, consistent phone calls, frequent gifts and the likes to your partner.
 
I know of a married evangelist who travels to be alone whenever he wants to receive certain messages from God. He leaves the house because of distractions. Jacob wrestles alone with the Angel.

Some singles are lonely because they have nothing doing aside their normal routine jobs or businesses.
Whenever they are less busy, the devil sees their heart as a playing ground where different ungodly desires and thoughts can be dumped. Different suggestions of who else to go out with, movies like porn to watch, parties to go,...

Loneliness makes a man vulnerable to the devil's bait.

You can be single and not lonely if you are busy pursuing your divine mandate. The Holy Spirit refreshes you every now and then with new information till the right time to be engaged and even afterwards, especially from the word of God.

If you are empty with no vision or you're waiting for someone to come before you start anything, you may have to wait for a l-o-n-g-e-r time.

Discover your purpose, study to show yourself approved unto God, get busy with your purpose/mandate and always be joyful.

12-03-16 SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS 2

Yesterday we considered various issues some people are insensitive to especially in their marital relationship.

I saw a movie at the Mount Zion Praise & Power night that revealed similar issue; the insensitivity of the man caused a big crack in the wall of his home until a mighty Lion entered outside his knowledge. He was so busy to see the emotional needs of his wife.

The man might have shown some signs before marriage which the woman was insensitive to; maybe she thought he will change after their wedding.

Its wrong to make some conclusions on the behalf of your partner before marriage. Iron out and neatly settle all discovered faults before settling down in marriage. Although, You can know it all.

The Only solution to Insensitivity in relationships is to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Be filled with the Spirit of God not wine; you will know all things even the unconfessed faults, trauma and emotional states and needs of your partner.

Handle such issues with great care.

Stop weeping or enduring your present relationship because you've suffered broken relationships. You deserve the BEST, get the Holy Spirit, Get Revelation.
Be sensitive in the Spirit.

He cares, I care.

11-03-16 SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS 1

''All the ways of man are clean in His own eyes; but the Lord weighs the spirits'' Proverbs 16:2

Some relationship consists of enduring partners, who weep within, outside the knowledge of their loved one.

What could be responsible for this?
Unresolved issues;
Fear of revealing the unpleasant attitude of their partner after many failed attempts;
Conclusion to tolerate their partner after several warning and cautions with no improvement;
Fear of the unknown;
Doubt of their partner's love and commitment;
Financial crises;
Marital delay due to unsuccessful goals and plans and many more.
You may ask why didn't he/she opt out?
Some have tried more than one relationship and still end up having the same challenge, with no choice of managing the present one. It could also be the strength of love which is interpreted as blind love.

Are you in any of these categories? Let's continue tomorrow.
Remember, God loves you and I care about also.

07-03-2016 EFFECTIVE LISTENING

What are the new information you hold on to as regards your partner?
People's comment and opinions about him/her influences your thoughts.

My friend, Be swift to hear and slow to speak.
Not all information is relevant, you need the grace of God to be an effective listener or else, things may not augur well between you and your partner.

Exercise patience during discussions, trash out all hearsay together, and listen before your contribute. It enables you to flow from within, listen to the still small voice within before you speak. If you discover it is not easy for you, inform your partner about it- you need some help.
Even when your partner did not abide by your suggestion in a particular matter, still exercise patience and listen.

Effective Listening aids Effective Communication and helps HUMILITY level.
Men/Women of Understanding are good Listeners.
