On Marriage #3... and Everything Else



So today I’ll be talking to those who want to know God’s principles and live by them and those who would want to make that decision to walk with Him.

It is wisdom to seek  God’s counsel first before embarking on ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING including marriage. Why? Have you ever tried going to Jamaica on your own before maybe in your car? Ridiculous right. Do you even know your way to Jamaica? So what do you do? You enter into a plane that has a pilot who knows the way. Same as your marriage. Have you been on that journey before? You need someone who knows the way.

Don’t make hasty decisions because you think you don’t have time. It's better to spend some months in prayer and get clarity than for you to spend 75 years confused and running around looking for a solution. It may be difficult and you’ll need Spirit Power, but don’t make any decision in the heat of the moment because you think you might never get a better opportunity. Seek God’s advice. Seek His opinion first, before making any decision. He’ll respect the fact that you respected Him and give you an answer.

 In relationships, don’t show interest in a girl you’re not sure you’re getting married to. You might think you really need to get to know her (especially when you meet her in a place you might never be to again) but if it's really God’s will He’ll make it work out for you to meet again. He’s very interested in your marriage working if only you’ll seek His counsel first. Except you’re sure, don’t go showing interest in any sister because you THINK she’s right for you. Women are very perceptive and majority take the lightest advances to heart especially if you’re very eligible. Before you meet any girl seek God’s counsel first, don’t start calling and then abruptly stop when God finally tells you no. You would have saved her the heartache from the very beginning. It’s good to obey God, in fact, you should but there’s a girl somewhere heartbroken who if she feels insecure would be crying and saying she knows there is something wrong with her.

Wisdom is necessary to guide us in all our affairs.

Are you loved?

It's good to know that God loves you. That He is concerned about the little details about you, like how you sleep, what you eat, what you wear, who you court. Admonishing David He said, "I also gave you your master’s house and put your master’s wives into your care and under your protection, and I gave you the house (royal dynasty) of Israel and of Judah; AND IF THAT HAD BEEN TOO LITTLE, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU MUCH MORE”. (2 Samuel 12:8) God is love. We forget that aspect of Him a lot when we are dealing with Him. As Africans, it is easy to see God as a consuming fire and as the ‘Lion' because we are raised to respect people not love them. But until you truly see God as Love (not the fake expression of love that causes you to go on sinning but the Truth of Love) you will never have a balanced relationship with Him. A lot of people respect God and maybe fear Him but they find it difficult to accept His Love; to accept His forgiveness; to see Him as love, and as l

God is Able to do What He says He will do

Image
It’s easy to get distracted. It’s easy to conclude that God is not working. So what do you do when you get to this point where it feels like you’re going nowhere? You take a deep breath, relax and tell God to take over. A ridiculous position for someone who is expecting some action, but until you’re still and realize and recognize that He is God, you will never get God to work in your life. God is able to do that which He says He will do. His ability does not change because the circumstances have changed or because the person you were hoping on has passed on. The prophet says in Isaiah 26:3-4 “Thou (God) wilt keep him (you) in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee (Him): because he (you)  trusts in thee (Him). Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” God tells us to put our trust in Him (that confidently relies on and believe in Him). Circumstances may change, people may fail you but God will not fail you.  God is perfect in all His way

Intimacy With The King

Image
Hello, guys. So it’s been a while here. How are you? Hope you’re all good. Today I’m going to be talking about ‘intimacy with the King' After salvation, God expects us to grow. I will tell you, you just got started if you just gave your life to Christ. There’s so much more to being saved than quoting a few good scriptures and going to church. God doesn’t want you to just come to him and end it there. He wants you to grow. He wants you to come to know Him. He wants you to come to be like Him. He wants to have an intimate relationship with you. (Deep calls unto deep; Psalm 42:7). God is the first Deep and He needs you to be deep too. Your salvation, great as it is, is not enough.  If it was, God would have taken you up immediately you gave your life to Him, but He didn’t. After your salvation, you need to grow. This is where an intimate and personal relationship with God comes in. I think a lot of people have a general knowledge of God (like Current Affairs). They speak good Chr

We Have a Better Covenant Than They

Image
Heb 1: 13 KJV: “But to which of the angels said He at any time, Sit on my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool?” After the death and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, He was raised up by God and made to sit at His Right Hand in heavenly places and while God was raising up Christ, He raised up everyone that would ever come to Him in Christ. So every prospective child of God was raised up in Christ upon His resurrection. So BEFORE you accepted Jesus you are already raised in Christ and you are seated in heavenly places. Let me explain the situation like this: If someone promises to give you money and the person drops the money with a friend for you, till you take possession of the money you can’t do anything with it. The fact that you have not collected the money does not mean it is not there. In the same way, God has finished the work on your behalf, paid the price, done all He needs to do and has rested but till you come and collect the finished work of God by accepting J

Fellowship

Image
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together except they agree? Agreement is very important for any relationship to work. The place of fellowship is where spouses can learn about each other; their flaws, their likes, and dislikes and how best to relate to each other. In our relationship with Christ ( He is our groom and we are His bride Rev 21:9 ), fellowship is where divinity meets with humanity and we become more like Him. We can fellowship with God through His Word and Prayer.  When you are going through God’s Word, you might not immediately feel the effect of what you’re doing but if you CONSISTENTLY keep at it, one day you'll realize that you’re acting like Jesus. Remember always that in your Christian life you walk by Faith and not by Sight and you can only move God by your faith. So believe you’re getting something from your Word study even if you think you’re not, and consistently keep at it and you’ll soon realize that the Word is having an impact in your life.  Next is prayer.

Musings of a Lover #5

Image
THANK YOU, LORD, FOR ‘HARASSING ME WITH LOVE'. So for a while now I have been worried about school life and how to balance it with my walk with God and my service to Him. I don’t want any to suffer and it SEEMS like in the course of life one would have to take pre-eminence. So I’m throwing this question to you; how do you balance church- life (service) and work-life? After school you’ll be saddled with various responsibilities like family, work, ministry and some other things, how do you make sure there’s balance? I know people who have gone to both sides of the extreme; putting all attention to one (maybe ministry) and totally neglecting the other (maybe family). Then I know people who seem to be making it work. So how do you create a balance or does God literally expect you to throw everything and follow Him? I believe if we have this balance even in the circular world a lot of families will be saved. A lot of marriages will be saved if a lot of husbands kept their wives
