  • Witness 4 – The Creation.

    Welcome to day 5 of Annual Blogmas. The yearly hype for Christmas.

    The theme of the year is Witnesses of Christmas.

    Today’s witnesses are the creations namely the animals (donkeys and sheep) and the stars.

    …and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 (NIV)

    The above statement was said by the angels to the shepherds in field tending their sheep and they are led to Jesus’ maternity ward – a manger – donkey resting place; what a befitting maternity ward for a prince!

    But the lesson for us there is one, we are without excuse. We can’t deny  hearing about the birth of Jesus. If we want, the sheep will testify against us.

    Two, we must humble ourselves under the mighty hand of Yahweh and in due He will lift us up. 

    The second creation that witness Jesus’ birth are the stars.

    …and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” Mat 2:2 (NIV)

    The maggi followed the star to get to Jesus where they worshipped and give him gifts.

    The star surrounded itself to be PR for Christmas.

    Where the bleating and neighing of sheep and donkey can’t reached, the ray of star can.

    Are you available for Master’s uses?

    How many have you directed to Christ by your conducts, speech, dressing, and personal dealings with individual?

    See you tomorrow

  • Witness 3 – Moses

    Witness 3 – Moses


    Moses, the greatest prophet of The Old Testament, not only led the Israelites through the Exodus but also, unknowingly, foretold the coming of Jesus Christ through the help of the Holy Spirit. In today’s post, we delve into the prophetic words of Moses and extract valuable lessons for our understanding of Christ’s birth.


    Hidden within the pages of the Pentateuch, Moses’ prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:15 sheds light on the arrival of a future Prophet: “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen.”


    Furthermore, this prophecy takes on a profound meaning when we consider the parallels between Moses and Jesus. Both were chosen leaders, mediators of covenants, and brought messages from God. Moses foreshadowed the ultimate Prophet, Jesus Christ, whose birth fulfilled the promise of a divine Messenger

    Now these are some lessons:
    1. Divine Continuity:
    Moses’ prophecy underscores the continuity of God’s plan throughout history. That which God has started with you, He will not stop with but continue with your offsprings

    2. Promise Fulfilled in Christ:
    The fulfillment of Moses’ prophecy in the birth of Jesus emphasizes God’s faithfulness to His promises. It teaches us to trust in God’s timing and to recognize His hand working across generations.

    3. Jesus as the Ultimate Mediator:
    Both Moses and Jesus served as mediators between God and His people. Moses mediated the Old Covenant, while Jesus established the New Covenant through His birth, life, and sacrificial death.

    4. Listening to the Divine Message:
    Moses instructed the Israelites to listen to the future Prophet. As Christians, we are called to heed the teachings of Jesus, recognizing Him as the ultimate authority in matters of faith and salvation.

    5. Prophetic Harmony in Scripture:
    Moses’ prophecy highlights the harmonious nature of God’s revelation in the Bible. Exploring connections between Old Testament prophecies and their New Testament fulfillment deepens our understanding of God’s redemptive plan. That’s God can be wholly trusted to fulfill His words

    Finally as, Moses, a humble leader chosen by God, unknowingly unveiled a prophetic glimpse into the birth of Jesus Christ. We should remember that God did not forget you. At the right time, what He has promised, He will fulfill it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • God is Angry at You.

    God is Angry at You.

    Bible is not silent about any matter of life. The bible offered the mind and expectations of the Maker of all things, seen and unseen.

    What did God say in the Bible concurrently about divorce and domestic violence? I will use the popular Bible verse, Malachi 2:16 which we all know albeit in different versions.

    New International Version
    “The man who hates and divorces his wife,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect,” says the LORD Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.

    New Living Translation
    “For I hate divorce!” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.”

    English Standard Version
    “For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the LORD, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.”

    “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence,” says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.

    King James Bible

    New King James Version
    “For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one’s garment with violence,” Says the LORD of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.”

    New American Standard Bible
    “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with violence,” says the LORD of armies. “So be careful about your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”

    NASB 1995
    “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong,” says the LORD of hosts. “So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”

    NASB 1977
    “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong,” says the LORD of hosts. “So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”

    Amplified Bible
    “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong and violence,” says the LORD of hosts. “Therefore keep watch on your spirit, so that you do not deal treacherously [with your wife].”

    American Standard Version
    For I hate putting away, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith Jehovah of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

    Aramaic Bible in Plain English
    LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts God of Israel says, and no one shall hide evil in his cloak. LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts says: “Be aware in your spirit, and you shall not be treacherous

    Brenton Septuagint Translation
    But if thou shouldest hate thy wife and put her away, saith the Lord God of Israel, then ungodliness shall cover thy thoughts, saith the Lord Almighty: therefore take ye heed to your spirit, and forsake them not,

    Good News Translation
    “I hate divorce,” says the LORD God of Israel. “I hate it when one of you does such a cruel thing to his wife. Make sure that you do not break your promise to be faithful to your wife.”

    International Standard Version
    “Indeed, the LORD God of Israel says that he hates divorce, along with the one who conceals his violence by outward appearances,” says the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. “So guard yourselves carefully, and don’t be unfaithful.”

    JPS Tanakh 1917
    For I hate putting away, Saith the LORD, the God of Israel, And him that covereth his garment with violence, Saith the LORD of hosts; Therefore take heed to your spirit, That ye deal not treacherously.

    Literal Standard Version
    “For He hates sending away,” said YHWH, God of Israel, “And he [who] has covered violence with his clothing,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And you have been watchful over your spirit, And you do not deal treacherously.”

    New American Bible
    For I hate divorce, says the LORD, the God of Israel, And the one who covers his garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. You should be on guard, then, for your life, and you must not break faith.

    For I hate divorce, says the LORD, the God of Israel, and covering one’s garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless.

    Young’s Literal Translation
    For I hate sending away, said Jehovah, God of Israel, And He who hath covered violence with his clothing, said Jehovah of Hosts, And ye have been watchful over your spirit, And ye do not deal treacherously.

    From this bible verse quoted, it can be deduced that

    • God that hate divorce also hate domestic violence.
    • No where was it stated here that God hates divorcees.

    Did God permits divorce? Yes, he permits it


    Deuteronomy 24:1
    If a man marries a woman, but she becomes displeasing to him because he finds some indecency in her, he may write her a certificate of divorce, hand it to her, and send her away from his house

    Why did he permits it? Because of the hardness of our hearts.

    Lastly, dear you, are you currently in an abusive relationship, my advise is; take heed for you safety. Run for your life.

  • Relationship Mindshift 1 – GOD LOVES DIVORCE.(For those in an abusive or serial cheating Marriage).

    Every Day, it’s either insult, abuse, mistrust, or beating.

    The person has tried every possible means for the spouse to change. The Family has intervened. Church also but instead of abating, the partner seems to be increasing in cruelty.

    To preserve her/his sanity, the abused seeks divorce.

    This partner can’t count the number of fastings and prayers plus mountain climbing she has done to separate, her husband and his numerous side chicks, yet she treats STDs every month.

    When she could no longer take it, she legally end the marriage.

    Are we saying, the two divorce-seeking partners are going to hell?

    Let us not deceive ourselves, as long as it’s two imperfect human beings are getting married every Saturday, we can never rule divorce out.

    Nobody plans for it.

    Nobody prays for it.

    Nobody likes it.

    Nobody should celebrate it.

    But shit happened. Mistakes happened. Some students read for the exams and still fail.

    Some Abigails married Nabals.

    Two, divorce is a failure of the married (not a Marriage institution), a sin though but not an unforgivable sin.

    Three, Bible granted those who marry unbelievers and the unbeliever asks for it, to take it. So He loves divorce that will preserve the salvation of your spirit.

    In addition, if God committed a great purpose into your hands and perhaps, you find yourself in an untoward marriage that threatened your life, sanity, and salvation, seek help and seek out, if the help doesn’t work. You need a sane mind, a sound body, and a saved spirit to obey God.

    He understands that you made a mistake and He can forgive that mistake. He is not happy that your marriage crashed, nevertheless, he still loves you.

    Lastly, church, let’s go and completely read and start quoting Malachi 2:16 in different versions because God said he hates divorce and also said he hates injustice [violence] to one’s spouse in the same verse.

    May God keeps our marriage in Jesus’ Name

    Afterthought: I believe divorce should be the last thing a troubled marriage should considered after all the possible means like prayers, professional and spiritual helps, family intervention, etc have failed.

  • Why won’t God punish my ex-girlfriend?

    Why won’t God punish my ex-girlfriend?

    Tell me one reason why God won’t punish my ex.
    She betrayed me. She trampled on my trust. She served me a hot breakfast. After all, I’ve done for her 😭😭😭

    What causes the issue? Our problem started with the pic below

    After wishing her a pleasurable birthday and affirming me as her love.
    Then a message inbox, followed by a painful but necessary breakfast a year after.
    Was it painful? It was ooo. So unbearable I have to doubt my value of generosity and trust in a romantic relationship (my wife kuku part-pay in the sin she didn’t commit but that’s a story for another day).
    So painful I have to converse with someone on Facebook.

    Now tell me why someone who broke the heart of His dear son won’t suffer.

    My dear if this is your reasoning about your ex, you are dead wrong because God will not punish your ex because he breaks your heart.

    God won’t make her marry wrongly because she left you.

    Why? for the following reasons:

    God won’t punish your ex because, for some of us, that split must happen so that you can have sense.

    Secondly, perhaps, your ex is indirectly working for God because God knows that your union will be a disaster for His kingdom.

    Three, God is a just God. He doesn’t think like us. He forgives sin.

    Four, where is your Christianity if you wish evil on fellow human being, sometimes a fellow Christian?

    Fifthly, my dear stop cursing, cussing, and whining about your ex, the Almighty won’t kill the person because you want him or her dead. He alone is sovereign.

    And lastly, what gain will your ex’s misfortune give you? Assuredly, it won’t give your car, a happy home, house, promotion, career progression, long life, and prosperity.

    Your ex’s misfortune won’t give any good thing of life save bitterness, evil thought, and envy to your being.

    What is the next thing to do? To prevent further breakfast, go and download A Tearless Courtship from selar.co by clicking this

    Then go and curse no more in Jesus’ name.

  • What Submission is Not. (3)

    In the last post, I addressed the husbands that submission may be anything but it’s not

    – for everybody. The only woman that is commanded to submit to you is your wife. Not even your daughter.

    – superiority contest. None of you are superior or inferior to one another. Bible called you one, co-heirs and remnant of life.

    What will you tell the Lord if you join in sinning all in the name of ‘wife, submit to your husband,’ when Jesus completed it by saying, ‘as unto me?’

    – personal lordship and saviourship. You are not the Lord and Saviour of your wife. Jesus is. You didn’t die for her sin. Jesus was.

    Now, in this post, I’m telling you, dear husbands, SUBMISSION IS NOT ABSOLUTE and to wives, DO NOT SUBMIT SHEEPISHLY.

    Husband, your wife is only permitted to the extent you are submit to

    God.

    His laws

    Godly authorities

    And the Church of God.

    Because Submission to all those things will make a good husband worthy of being submitted to.

    Therefore, if you gamble, abusive, touchy, sinning, cheating and fornicating, she is not allowed to submit to sin. Why? Because Submission entails supporting you and her Lord and Saviour, the Head of the church forbids joining the crowd to do evil and supporting evil.

    She is to submit to you as unto the Lord and we know her Lord won’t do evil to her or to anyone.

    Dear wife, if he is nudging you to sinning all in the name of Submission, Bible allows you no to submit in that situation. One, you will be personally responsible for every sin you committed.

    What will you tell the Lord if you join in sinning all in the name of ‘wife, submit to your husband,’ when Jesus completed it by saying, ‘as unto me?’

  • What is faith?

    I learned something spectacular today at the Men Missionary Union meeting.

    Lmaaooo 😀😄😀! I have sworn before that I will never attend one till I am 50 (a story for another day sha).

    Back to my story, the theme for the year was taking over territories while today’s topic was faith.

    We defined faith as trusting God to do what is right. Not what we wanted or asked but trusting Him that He will do what is right for us at His right time for His right purpose.

    It struck a chord in me. Trusting God to do what is right.

    Dear friend, I can’t tell you the Almighty will grant everything you asked him but I can assure you, He will do the right thing for you.

    He will bring the right man.

    He will make the right job materialize for you.

    He will provide the right opportunity for your assignment and assistance.

    May the grace of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit abides with us now and forever more. Amen.

  • Day 15 – Study.

    Day 15 – Study.

    Benefits of Reading Bible together.

    1. It makes you to know about God and His will for your as a family.
    2. It deepens your commutation.
    3. It enhances family prayer life

    To round today off, let’s read together, Song of Songs chapter 2, verse 15; Catch the foxes for us — the little foxes that ruin the vineyards — for our vineyards are in bloom.

  • Advantages of Sweet Sex in Marriage

    Advantages of Sweet Sex in Marriage

    This message is for married couples, about-to-weds, newlyweds. Singles should go and look for thick duvets and hot tea.

    Sex, I mean marital sex,  is very important in a marriage. It is very sweet and fulfilling with a lots of advantages. Some of them are.

    1. It is sweet.

    Sex is sweet. Very sweet! There is no adjective, adverb or pronoun I can use to describe its sweetness and I know you like sweet thing.

    One of the distinguished feature of premarital and marital sex is that premarital one is often laced with guilt and fear of the unknown, shame, abandonment, unwanted pregnancy, etc., but with sweet marital sex, there is nothing like fear, guilty, shame boredom and hiding. You are just enjoying yourself.

    2. No guilty.

    God is happy that you are having sex with your spouse.

    Your parents are happy.

    Your pastor is happy.

    The government is happy and even Satan has no qualms about legal sex.

    It make you happy.

    There is no how you will make love with you partner and you will be sad. I mean sex in a Christian homes. Even if you are sad before starting, by the time you are done, you will be the happiest person on earth.

    3. It energizes your body.

    It fires the body to do more, to love more, to communicate and to explore more.

    It is a body exercise that help to reset your body and calm your nerves.

    4. It strengthen marital bond.

    5. It promotes learning adventures.

    Sex allows you to embark on adventure to learn how to satisfy your spouse.

    It is a learning center to learn new things like sex styles, breast fondling, clitoris stimulation, penis sucking system, arousal, etc.

    6. It beautifies you

    7. It helps in settling misunderstanding.

    Infact, a good, hot , sweet and fantastic bedmatic is one of the good ways to settle small misunderstanding. Try it you will be happy you did.

    8. It deepens love.

    That is why we also called it love making.

    Let’s round up with a saying form King Solomon about sex from Proverbs 5:18-19, “let your fountain be blessed, and take pleasure in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful fawn – let her breasts always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever.” (HCSB). That is to say you are obeying God and that come with a load of rewards.

    Remember that you won’t enjoy all these benefits in premarital sex. Sex is made by God for exclusive use in the confine of marriage between a biological male and a biological female.

    Thanks for reading. May your sex life receives more fires in Jesus Christ name. Amen
