    10 Ways to Show Little Kindness in Your Courtship

    Courtship is a special time when you and your partner get to know each other deeply and determine your compatibility and commitment. It is also a time when you can show kindness to each other and to the world. It is also a period when a man or a woman wooes another person with the intention of marriage. Kindness is not only a virtue, but also a powerful way to express your love and appreciation.

    World Little Kindness Day, celebrated on February 16 every year, is a reminder that kindness is what binds us all together. It is also an opportunity to practice and spread kindness in your courtship and beyond. Here are some ideas on how to show kindness in your courtship:

    • SHOWING UP ON TIME: This shows respect and consideration for the other person’s time and schedule. It also demonstrates reliability and trustworthiness.
    • GIVING COMPLIMENTS: This shows appreciation and admiration for the other person’s qualities and achievements. It also boosts their confidence and self-esteem.
    • LISTENING ATTENTIVELY: This shows interest and curiosity in the other person’s thoughts and feelings. It also fosters understanding and empathy.

  • God’s Way or Nothing

    God’s Way or Nothing

    At Eden, when it was Adam, the animals, the plants, and the water bodies, God saw that, ‘it is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a help suitable for him.’

    And he did with the creation of Eve from Adam’s ribs and brought her to the man, therefore creating the First Marriage without leaving them guide-less about the rules and regulations of the newly created institution.

    He gave His will, orders, and commands about this beautiful institution.

    Without stopping at that, Yahweh, moved His servants throughout history to say His mind about marriage.

    And if truly you want to make and enjoy it you have to do God’s way.

    It’s either God’s way or nothing. No in-betweens.

    Marriage is not a democratic institution where every decision is up for elections, voting, discussions, debates, and other nuances of democracy but it’s a THEOCRACY – a rule by God where His will, orders, and commands reigned supreme under the leadership of a Man helped by His wife to raise a Godly seed.

    God decreed that Male and Female He created them and wanted them in marriage. Denying this golden ordinance to follow your lustful passion and calling it what it’s not is just a grand delusion that will yield nothing but pains, regrets, and if not repented eternal damnation

    God has instituted the Husband as the head, not because women are inferior to the former but because that’s how He wills. Now, dragging family leadership with your husband is doing it your way which has its own consequences.

    God says no sex before marriage. You say no but thinking you can escape the result of your stubbornness. No way!

    God wants you to raise godly offspring for Him but you abandon your duty post to chase ephemeral saying God understands. He understands but it is still His or nothing.

    That is why it’s better to be single as advised by Jesus and Paul than in disobedience to God.

    God will not update His word to suit man’s unending desires. We are the ones who must align our actions and ways to suit His word.

    As we do this, may God give us the needed grace to obey Him.

  • A Word of Advice and Caution

    A Word of Advice and Caution

    I learnt that 4 Nigerians died yesterday watching our match against South Africa.

    One at the moment of the attached pic.

    South Africa attempt at goal at 90th minute after equalizing at 89th minute


    If you are not strong-hearted, please stay away completely from football.

    Football is a game that can go from pure joy to absolute chaos in a seconds.

    Ask Arsenal fans for the past 10 years.

    Ask Chelsea fans, what Potter and Lampard use our eyes to see last season and what Pochettino is doing now.

    I repeat stay away from football, if you are not very strong in the heart or if you have HBP.

    May God gives the families of the deceased the fortitude to bear the losses on Jesus name

  • How to Have Good Success in Your Relationship

    How to Have Good Success in Your Relationship

    Bible called something good success.

    There will be someone who did courtship for 10 years and eventually married or courted for a month but that doesn’t mean both situations are ideal.

    There will be someone who divorced and remarried beautifully but we won’t preach divorce because it’s not God’s plan.

    There will always be a student who didn’t read but still passed his exams without malpractice but that is the unsure way.

    There are good children from single parent but should we encourage it?

    That there are some people or even many people who do something unethical, ‘ungodly,’ expedient, out-of-norm, or even extra-biblical and they seem to escape the consequences of it, doesn’t mean we will endorse it.

    We will still hammer on sexual purity before and in marriage.

    We will still call for reconciliation between warring couples.

    We will still encourage efficient double-parenting

    Hard work will be praised and enforced if needed.

    Because the way of the Lord is the surest path to good success.

    May God graced us to do the right thing.

  • 5 Wrong Mindsets About  Men That Can Potentially Ruined Your Marriage in the Future as a Single Lady.

    5 Wrong Mindsets About Men That Can Potentially Ruined Your Marriage in the Future as a Single Lady.

    1. All Men Cheat.

    You have probably heard this from your favorite celebs, close family members, and grown-up married women in your neighborhood. It’s a very popular saying that is said to be to be contended with unfaithfulness.

    The truth is not all men cheat. There are faithful men out there who are not interested in another woman and believing that all men cheat now is trampling on faithfulness and promoting infidelity that’s required in marriage.

    1. Men Are Polygamous.

    This is promoted by ‘boys’ who do not even know the slightest, what a polygamous family looks like.

    I don’t know where they got their biology from but I knew that there is nothing in men that is polygamous. It’s the culture and belief systems saying what’s not.

    You believing so, is setting your mind up for anyhowness.

    1. Men Cannot Control Themselves When They See Women Because They Are Visual Beings.

    Granted, we are more visual beings than emotional ones but, we are not animals who can’t control themselves.

    I repeat men can control their penises. We are not animals.

    1. Men Don’t Have Emotions.

    As we are visual beings, so also we are emotional beings.

    We feel pained.

    We feel abandoned.

    We need love

    We appreciate gifts

    We are not trees. Even trees have been scientifically proven to have feelings.

    If Jesus, the Rock of Ages can weep, are we more manly than him?

    So, if you have that mindset, delete it because we are also human beings with flesh and blood.

    1. Nigerian Men Don’t Sacrifice Anything In Marriage

    This is the most rubbish mindset of all and believing so can make you put up with an irresponsible man as Husband.

    I have resigned from a job that pays me 3X of my pay to stay with my family.

    I have read about men who forgo their life plans for their wives’ and kids’ successes.

    I have seen men doing very risky jobs to cater to their families and I am telling you factually today that if you see any married man today, he is sacrificing something for that Marriage to work.

    Marriage is never a walk in the park for us too.

    Anywhere you observed those statements being said, practiced, and believed, that is not a godly environment for someone like you who is looking forward to a happy marriage.

  • Marriage is an Achievement

    Marriage is an Achievement

    Don’t let anyone tell you contrawise.

    To see the girl toast and sieve and settle on one is not beans neither is being the seen and chosen one easy.

    To now, begin courtship, discussing this, planning that, analyzing this one and that for many months is serious mental work.

    Wedding? Let’s leave that aside.

    And leaving the familiar for the unfamiliar, trusting God to lead the way, and enjoying life with that special one.

    The shared joy, the common pain, the sexual ecstasy, the pregnancies and the arrival of new life, the parenting, etc, all are unquantifiable.

    Tell me, what’s all this if it’s not an achievement?

  • When Will You start talking About Your Good Marriage?

    When Will You start talking About Your Good Marriage?

    ‘You don’t have experience’ they said.

    ‘How long have you been married’ they repeated.

    ‘Wait till you are this,’ they queried.

    ‘You are saying nonsense,’ they reported.

    See, the reason why I do this thing is in the poster attached.

    As seen on Facebook

    If they are so proud of their lasciviousness and they can broadcast it, why shouldn’t I who had a better and godly one talk and promote it?

    One thing I knew, the number of working Marriages outnumbered the non-working ones, but the former are louder than the latter and that is why it seems Marriage is falling left and right.

    Marriage, sexual purity, and Godly courtship are not failing, it seems so because, the immoral, the adulterers, the fornicators, embittered feminists, etc., took the loudest microphone and are shouting continuously.

    If only we too can shout on top of every roof, post, podcast, blog and medium that there are working Marriages, fun and godly courtship and that amazing things are happening in this kingdom, maybe many future houses could be saved.

    As for me, I will continue to talk about the goodness of the Lord I am enjoying in my marriage as the Lord permits and share practical experiences of how.

  • Marriage is Not a Trap.

    Marriage is Not a Trap.

    Before I married, I heard many times about the union. Some are beautiful to the ears, some are outright myths, and some are unbelievable lies.

    Part of what I heard is that ‘marriage is the smallest cell in the world…’ and several other misguided quotes.

    But I am here to tell you now as a married man, that, marriage is not a trap.

    Marriage is not a prison so don’t bother to choose a cellmate.

    Marriage is not a war zone where you fight yourself every day.

    Marriage is not an unhappy institution where you cry at every moment.

    Marriage is not what your celebs call it.

    Marriage is not a lord-servant ship zone.

    Marriage is not a place of unfulfilled purposes.

    Rather I am telling you by this little experience of mine that God said Marriage is beautiful and you can achieve all the beautiful things you desire by being happily married.

  • Love Conquers All: A Reflection on World Cancer Day

    Love Conquers All: A Reflection on World Cancer Day

    World Cancer Day is observed annually on February 4th. It serves as a global initiative to raise awareness about cancer, encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment, and unite individuals and organizations in the fight against this devastating disease.

    On this World Cancer Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the strength and resilience that love brings, especially in the face of challenges like cancer. As a marriage content creator, I believe that the power of love within a marriage can provide comfort, support, and hope during difficult times.

    In times of illness, couples often find solace in each other’s presence, becoming pillars of strength for one another. It’s a reminder that love is not just about the joyful moments but also about standing united when life throws its toughest battles our way.

    Reflecting on this, the Bible offers wisdom in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NIV): “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” This verse beautifully encapsulates the essence of love within a marriage, emphasizing the strength that comes from enduring challenges together.

    As we observe World Cancer Day, let’s extend our love and support to those facing this formidable foe. Together, we can be a source of hope and encouragement for those navigating the journey of cancer. Remember, love is a powerful force that can conquer even the most challenging circumstances.

    Wishing everyone strength, hope, and love on this important day.
