Yes, I Do...

   It's an answer to the question ask if one has decided to take a wife/husband. One of the Alchemist quote says " therefore shall a man leaves his father and mother and cleave to his God, and they shall be one spirit.
   It's is often said that you should properly know your spouse to be, before jumping into marriage. But we've heard stories about marriages, that people keeps exhibiting different character after a period of time. If it take years to understand a man, how much more God?
   He created the heaven and the earth (His dwelling and footstool respectively). The wonder of the earth hasn't been fully understood, not to talk of the One the uses it as a footstool. Yet this God has asked our hand in marriage and some of us have told Him - YES I DO.
   But when the time of change comes to align to His will. We become so uncomfortable to break our standards for His, forgetting that we are who we are in Christ by Grace. Who are we? Yet He leaves to choose His or ours decision, but we forget that He's ways are not ours (Isaiah 55:9). They are always better than ours.
   We just have to align to His will if we want the best in our relationship with our maker who choose us to enjoy his mercy (Lamentations 3:22). We know this if we know Him. The most important thing in any relationship is Knowledge.
   Let us seek to know the Lord and understand his ways at all time. Even Paul the apostle said " that I may KNOW HIM... "(Philippians 3:10). How much more we of this generation that needs Him that anyone ever did? He's the only one who can make us who we want to be, but before anything His will is supreme.
   Let always put the Lord first (Matthew 6:10). Then our lives will be so pleasing to others and they will want to be like us. Just like when two couples get along so well that everyone gets jealous and wishes to have that kind of marriage.
  The Lord wants our light to shine before men, that they may glorify the source of the light - OUR GOD (Matthew 5:16). The answer to the marriage vow is incomplete if we can't please let the Father. Seek to know the will of God always and align to it.
   Those who that enjoys to be a bachelor/spinster are prone to making some bad decisions because they accumulate knowledge by things happening around them (situations, people and environment). Also those that thinks they are all they can be without God never know what they are missing without God. Come to your maker and align your will to His. He will give you the Holy spirit to help you through it all. He waits for you to decide, but I must tell you there is no better time than Now. Be on the Lord's side and prosper, seek to KNOW Him more and excel. Peace be unto you. Amen!

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
