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!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
