  • God will judge Bro. Jonah.

    God will judge Bro. Jonah.

    Lemme tell you a story.

    A story of Bro. Jonah, Sis. Pelumi and Sis. Peculiar.
    But God will judge Bro. Jonah you. He has to judge him, remarked Pelumi.

    Jonah, Pelumi and Peculiar were Christians. A good Christians so to say. Need I tell you that they belong to the same fellowship.

    Jonah was in the Media department.

    Peculiar was the sister coordinator while Pelumi was in the ushering department.

    When it was time for Jonah to settle down maritally, after a lots of prayer and fasting, God directed him to Peculiar and after due diligences, he informed the Marriage committee of the church who both gave their approval and go-ahead for the relationship.

    As it was the tradition of the church to inform the whole church of two daters in the hold in order to warn any other person who may be interested that these ones are off market as of now to the delight of the household of God. Atleast this one will stay in the church.



    Lesson 1: Christians don’t do secret relationships. Know the difference between private and secret one.

    To be truthful, God dey create. Peculiar is a beauty. A spec. Hardworking. Tongue speaker. Every brother’s desire. Moderately fat. Infact 5 different brothers received her in the fellowship.

    Jonah himself wasn’t bad and our sister Peculiar was his spec. Talk about a sister that carry for back and front in godly proportions 🤪🤪🤪

    Lesson 2: your spec is in inside the Church. I repeat you can find your spec inside the church.

    Though Jonah and Peculiar were dating but they are non-PDA type. No public display of affection.

    And you always see Jonah with Pelumi.

    He always chatted with Pelumi.

    No day will passed without Jonah calling to ask about her day.

    He never failed to buy gifts for her on his birthday.

    They even have days they used to pray together and they have a lot of data shared in between themselves.

    He posted her pic with lovely dovey caption one time like that 🥰🥰🥰


    Pelumi is also a spec. A beauty. But she isn’t in any relationship now after James served her, breakfast 💔💔💔, some months ago.


    Due to this closeness, Pelumi even asked him stylishly one day, if she loves her and he replied that he loved her with the love of Christ ❤️❤️❤️.


    Each time, Pelumi asked about his sis. Peculiar, he used to answer her grundinly. Infact, he has told Peculiar that they are not courting again as a result of little disagreement they have over makeup.

    Even though Pelumi and Jonah are not dating and he had no intention of ever asking her out yet they are close to point that Bro. Tamilore from the neighbourhood church has picked interest in Pelumi. He thought they are in since he always sees them together. He has even seen them twice on asoebi.

    After two fantastic years of godly courtship now decided to move to a permanent site by Jonah and Peculiar. But I thought you said, they had a fight that made them call it a quit. Yes! Indeed they fought but they were able to resolve their disagreement and a godly compromise was reached.

    Lesson 3: that you are in a relationship with God’s will doesn’t mean you will agree on all matters. You are raised differently.

    Subsequently, all necessary conditions have been met, an announcement was made to the church. While everyone was rejoicing, our dear sis. Pelumi fainted!

    What could have happened?

    Did our usher get pregnant?

    Did she remember James’s breakfast? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    Commotion exploded.

    Three hours passed and Pelumi was revived but upon opening her eyes what she kept saying was, God will judge Bro. James. He must judge him.
    But what could have happened between you guys?

    After much persuasion, Pelumi opened you about their relationship assuming that they dating.

    ‘Did he ask you out?’

    ‘No, he didn’t.’

    ‘How did you now know you are dating.’

    ‘He used to call, chat and buy gifts for me. God must judge him oooo,’ she said tearfully. 😭😭😭

    ‘But you know his fiance is sis. Peculiar.’

    ‘She told me they have fought.’

    ‘Did he tell you that they have settled their misunderstanding?’

    ‘He never did.’ 😭😭😭

    Lesson 4: Never assume a Relationship with anyone. If he/she has not expressed his mind by speaking, keep your distance.

    ‘But bro. Jonah, why will you be leading a sister on when you never have an interest in her.’

    ‘I am sorry, sir. I don’t know if it will end like it. I thought we are brother and sister in christ.’

    ‘Shut up, brother and sister kill you there 🙄🙄🙄. God will judge you and kind, who always lead sister on emotionally.’

    Lesson 5: stop letting someone’s son/daughter when you aren’t interested in them. Allow another person sees them and shot their shot. It is wickedness shadowing someone’s son/daughter.

    Thank for reading.

  • 7 lessons for your kids.

    7 lessons for your kids.

    Psalms 127: 3 says “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him“(NIV) and the commandment to train our kids is a God given commandment.

    Start a youth out on his way;
    even when he grows old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6, CSB)

    Now not many of us know what to teach our children because not many of us are even well trained.

    Now these are some lessons that you can teach for your children:

    1. Teach them to study ( Proverb 4:7-9).

    Teach you kids to study. To study their Bible. I can bet it with you that if they can know all sci-fi movies superheroes, they can know about Joseph, Judah, Jesus, etc., at their tender age.

    Teach to study their books.

    They should also study to show them approved, a workmanship that is not ashamed.

    2. Teach them to seek the Lord (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

    Teach them to seek the Lord before the ‘evil’ day. Teach them to seek God for every and any of their need because God answers prayers. Let them know truly know we can’t truly make it in life without God. The making of the world is but a facade that most successful individuals without Christ are depressed.

    Teach them God diligently reward those who seek Him.

    Teach them to seek the Lord in prayer, quiet time and Bible study.

    Teach them to ask Him for anything by themselves

    3. Teach them what to appreciate. (2 Corinthians 3:18).

    The law of transformations asserts that you become what you admire or appreciate.

    Teach them to appreciate godly virtues like honesty, hardwork, trust, confidence, etc because they all pay.

    Teach them to appreciate godly people, both online and offline.

    Teach them to have appreciative words like thank you, well-done, kudos, etc., in their vocabulary even if they are the one doing the job e.g., saying thank you after paying at a restaurant, bus terminal, after paying their tuition fees, after buying stuff for them.

    Teach them to appreciate any good things they like in others.

    4. Teach me to respect the anointed (Psalm 105:15).

    You are anointed as a parent, grandparent or foster parent, teach them to respect you.

    Teach them to respect men and women of God in your community and church, in and outside your denomination.

    Teach them to respect human beings created in the image of God by respecting individual opinions and freedom to choose.

    Teach them that even if the anointed is wrong, it is not in their strength to mete out punishment.

    5. Teach them age is not a barrier (Psalm 8:2).

    Age is not a barrier to living right. Reinhard Boonke gave his life to Christ aged 9.

    Age is not a barrier to hearing the voice of the Lord. Samuel Elkanah was a teenage boy when he first heard the voice of Yahweh.

    Age is not a barrier in being what God has ordained them to be. Josiah was 8 years old when he became king.

    Age is not a barrier in deciding to live right. Daniel and his three fellow Hebrew boys are all young when they stand against the worship of the golden image.

    Age is not a barrier to heeding the call of God. Jesus was but a 12 years old kid when he started debating with the professors and doctors of law inside the synagogue.

    6. Teach them to avoid evil company (Proverb 13:20).

    Teach them not to associate with Jonadab of 21st century (2 Samuel 13:3-5).

    Teach them to shun and unfollow godless celebrities online.

    Teach them to abhor the gathering of evil company, tales bearers, back bitters, profane speakers, fools, evil plotters, sinners, etc., because the Almighty will soon destroy their tent.

    Teach them to abhor the evil company on social media, phone, internet and different media.

    7. Teach by example (Titus 2:7).

    You are the first instructional material for your kids for they see what you are doing.

    If you want them to seek the Lord, you too seek the Lord. If you want them to be appreciative, you too be. If you want them to shun evil company, you too shun evil company.

    If the parents are not following God, what example will the children follow? If your son still sees you chasing after women, how will you expect him to stay away from fornication? If your daughter sees you bribing a teacher for her to pass an exam, how will you teach her about integrity and honesty? Like father like son, like mother like daughter. If you are not yet born again and living holy, it is your example that your children will follow. Show them the way to the Light so that they don’t end up in darkness.

    Be their examples in words and in deeds.

    Ponder on this: Can you boldly ask your children to copy everything you do, even in secret?

    Note: All the points are from Open heavens devotional (June 4 – 10, 2022) by Pastor Enoch Adeboye but the explanation therein is mine.

  • 5 Must make decisions before turning 20.

    This message is for teenagers because I strongly believed that how you lived your life in your teen ages will have an impact on your 20s, 30s, 40s, etc a also observed very many of today’s teens are living scary life that may cause a deep scar tomorrow and that most of these behaviours are preventable.

    Note this; my dear, you cannot live a perfect life but you can live a life that you won’t be ashamed of today.

    Now, today, before you hit your 20s onwards, make the following decisions. I made those decisions while I was a teen and I did not for once regretted ever doing so.

    1. Decide to accept Jesus Christ now.

    I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior before I aged 20 and that singular decision helped to shape and sharpen my choice of knowledge between evil and good because I already know what is good in the sight of the Lord and what is bad and the consequences thereof.

    Making this decision early will help you too, to avoid many avoidable mistakes in life and will preserve your life.

    This fantastic decision will set you on path of destiny fulfilment early in life. That great, world renowned evangelist Reinhard Boonke became born again aged 9 and started his ministry aged 16. We all know how God used his Evagelistic outreach, CfaN for harvest of souls in Africa. I was one of them. Same thing with Pastor David Ibiyeomi of Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt – also gave his life to Christ early and started the journey of purpose delivery early.

    My dear, you cannot live a perfect life but you can live a life that you won’t be ashamed of today.

    If you accept Jesus Christ now, it will save you many years of tools, struggles and scars and you can’t regret ever doing so.

    2. Decide to live right.

    Bible said, ‘Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s rich foo…’ Daniel was 17 years old boy in captivity when that decision was made and later saved him for den of lions and made him president of the presidents in a foreign land.

    What does it mean to decide to live right? It means to shun evil now.

    It means to depart from sin and all appearance of sin now.

    It means to shun premarital sex.

    It means to stop unhealthy behaviors like drug abuse, cultism, thuggery, overeating, smoking, immorality and perversion.

    It also means embracing the fruit of the Spirit as listed in Ephesians 5:22-23 (NIV)

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

    It means truth telling at all times.

    It means standing for what is true, holy, reasonable and of good report at all times.

    I reaped the benefit of my decision to shun premarital sex till wedding nite 2 weeks after wedding.

    3. Quality relationships and bridges.

    The world is run based on relationships and connection.

    Somebody knows someone who has what you need.

    Somebody knows someone whose daughter/son will be a good spouse.

    Somebody knows someone who can recommended you for a job. A friend once done that for me.

    There is someone who can help, build, advise you and set you on the path of destiny alignment.

    But you have to build a good relationships and bridges to access all these benefits and more. Such

    Such relationships including friendship, mentorship, discipleship, leadership. The quality of those relationships and more that you build now will definitely served as your springboard later in life.

    Though social media allow anyhowness, but you as a someone with future must build a great online relationships courtesy of respect. No everybody on social media is your age mate or grace mate

    My late father-in-law’ quality relationships that was built as at the time he was alive 11 years worked for us during our wedding ceremony.

    Caveat; build only godly relationships.

    4. Have a skill.

    Financial skills like tailoring, baking, plumbing, content creation ( check the E-book section to download my Ebook titled A-Z of Content Creation), graphic designing, web design, Ads manager, bricklaying, amazon KDP, IoT, app development, YouTubeing, bag making, catering, event planning, computer and GSM repairs, blogging, etc.

    Spiritual skills such as constitent bible reading, quiet time, fasting, constant fellowship with the brethren as occasion demands, prayers, tithing, alm giving, ministerial work, volunteering for Church works, etc.

    Survival skills like making money, budgeting, cooking, reading, safe internet browsing, saving, investing, etc.

    Advantages of having skills at tender age ; you learned at the prime of your time because your basic needs will be provided by your parents, i.e., focused, you learn your mistake early and correct it early and lastly, by the time you are in your mid-20, you have become an expert in that field

    5. Decide to pray now.

    Many Christians are reactive Christians. They only pray after calamity instead of praying to prevent it. Talk about medicine after death.

    Talk about prevention is better than cure, prayer is the real prevention because you don’t have to do it when you don’t have problem. You can do it now to acknowledge God as your source, secure your future (carrer wise, financially, maritally, for unborn kids, inlaws, coworkers, neighbors, etc) and avert future problems.

    Dear, I can assure you; if you don’t pray jejely now when you have no kid to feed, no rent to pay, no inlaws to visit, no spouse to love and no ‘ responsibility ‘, you will pray violently when responsibilities keep dropping on top of one another like bag of bean.

    I repeat; the best form of prayer is preventive ones

  • 6 Ways to defend your Spouse.

    6 Ways to defend your Spouse.

    A good spouse should be able to wade off insults, disrepute, disrespect, ruly behaviors and whatnots from his/her spouse. Especially wife from husband’s family.

    But how to defend your spouse? I believe you can defend your spouse even before you are married and these following acts can help us:

    1. TELL THEM NOW.

    Long before I was married, I have told my mom that my own wife won’t be able to be doing olobinrin ile (because of some flaws I observed in the system) and that my wife is my wife, my brother’s wife is his wife (nothing like orogun here ooo).

    My point; if there is any family or tribal tradition that you won’t want your future spouse to take part in, start telling them now. Right before you even brought that LOML.

    2. DON’T EXPOSE YOUR SPOUSE.

    You can’t be telling your family about bad things you fiance(e)/spouse always do than the good that he/she does and expect your people to regard his/her high.

    They are human. You have the same blood. They are supposed to see that no harm harms you. So if you are always telling them bad news about LOML, they will see that person as someone out to destroy their son/daughter which they are bound to resist.

    Tell them about good things about your love or shut up.

    3. PREVENTION IS ALWAYS THAN CURE.

    You know your LOML. His/her likes and dislikes.

    You know your family and everybody there too. Their likes, dislikes and traditions.

    Let’s each party know what is up respectfully.

    While I was in Courtship, anytime I am visiting any of my family with my then girlfriend turned wife, I will tell her what to expect and how to behave there.

    I told my ex when we are visiting my sister not to prove any wife material there, she disobeyed me and wash clothes like kilode🤣🤣🤣🤣.

    Anything that will bring discord between them should be avoidable at all cost.

    4. DON’T DISRESPECT ONE FOR ONE.

    The duties of a mother is distinct from that of a wife.

    That of a sister is also different from that of a wife.

    None should be convoluted for other.

    Therefore, don’t disrespect your family in front or at the back of your wife.

    Don’t disrespect your wife in front or even at the back of family.

    Make sure your spouse respect your family; their likes, dislikes and traditions.

    Make sure also that your family also respect your spouse too; their warts and wattles.

    And that start with respect for everybody.

    5. RESPECT OTHERS SPOUSE TOO.

    You can’t show your brother’s wife pepper and expect yours to give you queen treatment.

    You can’t turn your brother’s wife into your dustbin and expect family members to treat your as golden crown.

    If you want respect for your spouse, respect others people spouse too.

    6. SHOULD IN CASE…

    I know there are some unscrupulous individual who are devil’s advocate in marriage. Should you have that kind of person, tell them you will not take disrepute, disrespect to any party.

    Stand up to any member of your family that you won’t take shits towards your wife. Mean it. Act it.

    Tell your wife you won’t take disrespect from her to your family. Mean it. Stand your ground.

    T for thanks and C for comments.

    FLEE! – Marypeace Metumera

    It can’t be negotiated!

    No matter how strong you think you are, you might not be able to withstand the pressure at the heat of the moment. Flee!

    You’re a tongue talking christian, born again and saved. You can quote all the verses of the bible on a spot without blinking. Likewise, on the spot, Flee!

    You’re so emotional. You love him/her too much that you don’t want to lose that relationship. But he/she usually makes you reduce your standards by making you indulge. Flee!

    At the moment, your adrenaline begins to increase. You start to feel so horny. Yes, I know you love him/her so much that your heart begins to do you “Duduke.” Flee!

    Before you begin to call on God the Father, Son and Holyspirit to help control your emotions on the spot, my dear don’t deceive yourself. Flee!

    It doesn’t matter if you made mistakes in the past. That’s not an excuse to keep indulging. Flee!

    There’s no other way to help yourself than to escape from the scene. Emotion is too powerful that you may only realise that you messed up when the deed is done. The only remedy is to flee!

    Honestly, the effects of sexual sin are grave. Even when you ask for mercy, you won’t escape the punishments.

  • HOW TO PREVENT SPOUSAL REJECTION.

    This post is not for those that court for trial and error. It is for those that have marriage in mind for every courtship they are in.

    Prevention is better than cure.

    I remembered the first person I officially introduced to my parents which happen to be my last date was subtly disapproved by my parents. Infact by everyone in my family.

    Although, I disagreed with them and was adamant that I am gonna marry her until the whole thing crashed. All thanks to my family’s prayers.

    What was I driving at? By third month of our relationship, she has known everyone that is to be known as far as my marital choice is concerned plus my stance till the law of natural selection take place.

    …introduce him or her early.

    Because, I could vividly remembered that I was told to be left alone, that the relationship won’t lead anywhere.

    My first date was even instant rejection by her mom from the moment she said, *’mo tigbó, mo tigbà.’

    One of the best way to prevent or maximize or detect such future spousal rejection is to introduce him or her early.

    Before love deepens,

    Before sense is doing you fiam fiam,

    Before you see each other pants (which you shouldn’t even see premarital even if they approve). Parental approval is not Marriage ooo.

    Before *wu wu not take it, introduce your LOML early to them so that they can do all;

    • the disagreement
    • agreement
    • know your stance
    • and for natural law of what will be will be to take its place.

    By introducing them early, if they disagreed, you will have some time to convince them or to check next door.

    If they agreed with you, you can let the natural law of WWBWB to take effect.

    Because it is insane after dating and courting for 2 – 3 years and rejecting many other eligible suitors and boom ,there is rejection!

    Think about the time that may likely be wasted before finding another person or convincing family.

    Think about the resources and data you both have shared.

    Think about the the pains, advantages and disadvantages of rejection, unhappiness and felling of hatred from both parties peradventure you proceed.

    I met my wife’s parents within two weeks of our courtship simply because I don’t what to be part of the stats after some years of butterfly in my tummy.

    Yours may not be two weeks but I will recommend 3 months so that you will know whether to fire on joyfully or to restrategize.

  • How to cultivate a hearty relationship with your daughter-in-law.

    How to cultivate a hearty relationship with your daughter-in-law.

    We have talked, written, podcasted and blogged about how a wife should cultivate a working relationship with her mother-in-law. I think it is time to talk about mothers striving for a good relationship with their daughters-in-law.

    Having said that, my unconfirmed research said that 5 out of 10 mothers-daughters-in-law relationships are unhealthy, 3 are healthy while the remaining 2 are on “dey your dey lemme dey my dey*” but you as a potential or mother-in-law can cultivate a good and hearty relationship with your daughter-in-law through the following ways:

    1. Know where your daughter-in-law is coming from.

    For instance, my wife is coming from a background where they employed caterers for their ceremonies, wherein in mine, we used our wives. It will amount to insensitivity should my mum be expecting my wife to do “olobinrin file**” fully. It won’t work well if she has those expectations of her.

    In another instance, up to when she will be getting married, my wife and her siblings called themselves by their birth names or pet names and none of her uncles’ wives adds sister to her name as culture demands. So my mom shouldn’t be expecting that from her except she willingly wants to.

    Dear mother, know the difference and respect it. Things won’t always be the same. Have honest expectations.

    2. Have a honest expectations.

    Mother, this is the 21st century and there is still a respectable lady out there for your son who will see you as her mother but she may not be able to tolerate many things you tolerated with your mother-in-law.

    She may not able to use her hand to wash your clothes.

    She may not be available to come and stir amala at the family ceremony.

    She may not call your son and daughter aunties or brother

    She may not even allowed omugwo.

    She is not bad but times are changing and women are getting educated nowadays and they are gainfully employed.

    3. Respect your daughter-in-law.

    Respect is reciprocal. If you want respect from her, respect her too.

    If you want a gift from her, give her a gift too.

    Click here to see the gifts you can give your daughter-in-law

    Respect her womanhood.

    Respect her humanity.

    Respect the fact that she can harm your son and she hasn’t.

    Respect as the lady of the house as you are the lady of your husband’s house.

    Respect her.

    4. Accept the biblical fact.

    What biblical fact? The fact that “the two are naked and are not ashamed.”

    Meaning; that as far as your son’s priority towards his mum and wife are concerned, the latter take preeminent in every area.

    That is the fact that can liberate you. If you thoroughly trained your son, he wouldn’t have a problem with leaving you and cleaving to his wife.

    Thanks for engaging.

    *dey your dey lemme dey my dey is a pidgin language meaning be on your lane let me be on mine

    **olobinrin ile mean wives of the house. This is a system common among the Yoruba in which the wives in the family comes together to cook and serve during family ceremonies.

  • Love is Enough.

    Love is Enough.

    Welcome to another episode of bubble busting and myths debunking.

    We have agreed that instead of you, looking for you for a friend rather than befriending the one you love and Marrying God’s will as the common vocabulary in the Christian circle is not enough for a fulfilling marriage but staying in God’s will is the key.

    In this article, I am debunking the age long myth of love is not enough to run a happy home.

    Before I proceeded, I must confess that I am also a believer in this slogan until my eyes was opened to the real thing.

    Now, let’s agreed on this matter of fact, love is enough to run a happy marriage.

    Lemme say it again; Love is more than enough to maintain a godly home.

    Yes, I agreed that selfish human natures cannot sustain a Christian home but we are not called to love our spouse humanly but as Christ loves His Church. How? The Agape way.

    What are then the characteristics of love that we are called to? The answer is not farfetched. It is near us in the greatest book of all time Bible, part called Apostle Paul First letter to the Corinthians chapter 13, verses 4 – 8,13.

    The Bible described love as follows;

    ⁴Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant,

    ⁵is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs.

    ⁶Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.

    ⁷It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

    ⁸Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.

    ¹³Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love—but the greatest of these is love.

    Now, tell me which relationship will not thrive in the presence of all the attributes highlighted?

    Less, we forget lemme remind you that love is more than enough to run a Christian family.

    If he loves you he won’t abuse you because love finds no joy in unrighteousness.

    If she loves you, she will submit to your leadership because love is not rude.

    If he loves you he will provide for you as the husband and father in the house because love is not self-seeking.

    If LOML loves you, he/she will keep no records of your wrongdoings.

    Finally, lemme remind you that love as outlined in 1 Corinthians 13 is more than enough for our marriage, courtship and relationship.

    T for thanks, C for the comment and S for share.

  • 7 Life Lessons from 2021/22 English Premier League Season.

    7 Life Lessons from 2021/22 English Premier League Season.

    For every English Premier League season since the 19/20 season, I have been writing about the lessons we can derive from the season at the end of the season. Now, these are the lessons from 2021/22 season:

    1. Make sure you are winning somewhere.

    To start with, EPL is the best football league in the world. No league comes close.

    Congratulations to Manchester City for being the champions again after crashing out of UCL meaning if you are not a world champion at least be a local champion. Champ na champ. Make sure you are winning somewhere.



    2. Count your blessing, name them one by one.

    A carabao and FA trophies ain’t a bad season for Liverpool and there is still the possibility of another one on Saturday.

    Dear, despite the recent loss, think about the recent wins and thank God.



    3. Strike the iron while it’s still hot.

    The season would have completely gone bad for Chelsea had they not won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club Cup trophies before key injuries, sanctions, divorce and uncertainty about the club sale. In between congrats to Mason mount for winning the Chelsea player of the year 🏅 and good luck to Antonio Rudiger in his next endeavor.


    5. Big names are not equivalent to good outcomes.

    Manchester United, Ole, Ralf (teacher of Kloop and Tuchel 😄😄😄), C. Ronald, etc.

    Where did it end?

    6th Avenue.

    Zero goal difference.


    6. It’s not over until the final whistle blows.

    Leeds United is the favourite to relegate but a last-minute goal saves the day. Same thing with Manchester City who comes back from a 2-goals deficit to win 3 – 2 at the final whistle.

    It is still not over for you as long as the breath of God is in you.



    7. God can direct you in every area of your life.

    This lesson is from Italy.

    When AC Milan signed Olivier Giroud, at his interview, he was asked why did he come to Milan after leaving Chelsea, he replied, ‘God told me to come to Milan.’
    Today, he is a Seria A winner.

    Holy Spirit doesn’t only direct in the spiritual affair, He is also interested in our physical affairs.



    God’s Will is not enough


    Thanks for reading, sharing and commenting.

  • God’s will is not enough.

    God’s will is not enough.

    This month is for clearing and busting bubbles and myths about relationships, marriage and Courtship.

    Bust the first bubble here

    Today, we will puncture the balloon of ‘all what I need for a happy marriage is to marry God’s will’

    To start with, in Agricultural practices, we have various farming operations namely; pre-planting, planting, post-planting, harvesting and post-harvesting operations.

    The first bubble, how many of us know what is God’s will and how many of us have limited Divine will to marital choice only?

    Now, let’s assume all of us know what is God’s perfect plan for us concerning marital choices but do you know that that doesn’t guarantee a happy marriage.

    Why? Because marrying assumed God’s will is pre-planting operations; something that must be done before marriage and I hope everyone agrees with me that a good pre-planting operation doesn’t mean that a farm will be good. Other operations must be performed to have a good harvest.

    Marrying your God’s ordained spouse is pre-planting operations combing these operations with other operations is what makes a marriage happy.

    Such operations like;

    • Appreciating your spouse.
    • Constant forgiveness
    • Affirmative display of love
    • Prayers
    • Good sex
    • Effective communication
    • Tolerance
    • Etc.

    Doing the former while neglecting the latter is what turned a Christian home into an unattended garden which will soon be run over with weeds of malice, stalled communication, bickerings, etc. This is why some Christians are enduring their union. Not because they allegedly mismarry but because they hand off their marriages almost immediately after their wedding.

    The second reason why the myth doesn’t work is that even God’s will for your life is still a human being.

    And the third reason is; that you have to marry a kind person.

    T for thanks and C for the comment.
