Christian sisters should be sweet yams. Yes, they should. God is the planter and that brother that used to tell you, ‘ you are my honey,’ every blessed morning is the goat and you got to help him to become a G.O.A.T.
But how? You should know that, although Farmer-Owner which is Yahweh God has brought you to you goat or you have brought you goat to your owner, you must know that you can’t be peel, toasted, roasted, touched anyhow or boiled.
You can’t. It’s not yet time.
And I want you to also know that the desire to be eaten, boiled, peel, roasted, grated or even fried is legitimate and God-given but it is not yet an appropriate time. What should be touching you is now word of God, your pillows and or a cup of tea.
Also, forget not that though the coming G.O.A.T is a Christian, he is also with a God-given instincts to boil and fry. He may speak the languages of angels but he has godly desires in him.
Furthermore, be aware that not all goats are domesticated goats. Some are mountain goats (wild one), some are wannabes (infact baby antelope looks like goat) while some are ewu gambias* and not all goats have potential to become G.O.A.T. Only the Capra hiscus can survive all weathers and you should know that you own goat many not be in your locale.
Therefore, you must help him by not seductively peel yourself, park yourself into his barn, for the habit of sleeping in his barn, touch him inappropriately (Yes, you can’t touch him too!) or arouse the goatness in him till appropriate time.
If you want to be boiled, peel, grated, roasted, touched or even turn to yam cake (òjòjò)* , tell him to come and see the yam caterers to do the required and you too should go and see goat caterers to do the neccesary.
But a potential GOAT should have self-control? Yes, of course, so a potential Y.A.M should self-control too. Not be any of your efforts, but by the grace of thy Farmer who art in heaven.
If you can do this, you will be able to Y.A.M i.e. Yes! Am Married and be able to YAHM (Yes! Am Holly Married) before thy Father-Farmer.

STOP MARRIAGE-SHAMING US. Dear married friends especially female ones. We thank God for our friendship turned brothership, sistership and siblingship. We also appreciate you for being there for us through our thick and thin and we are very happy that you have ‘left’ our hood to be happily joined to your spouse. We hope to join you soon if Christ tarries. But we have many allegations against you. Number one; since you married, you seem to have forgotten us. Our calls you hardly pick and you never call. Even our DMs are not reply for 2 weeks when we do to check on you. It’s because you are married or you thought we ain’t mates again? Needless to say, you stop attending our gym class, hangouts, party and those fun moments because we missed your contributions or are we going to learn about good marriage if not from experienced friends? Thirdly, why is it that each time we are chanced to discuss about life, you would have said ‘you better go and marry’ three times. Does marriage confer sense, money, sense of responsibilities or salvation? As far as we know, it doesn’t give all these, so stop pressurizing us. And to those who are our younger sisters i.e those of you we are older than who now want us to be prefixing their names with aunty or mummy so-so, we wish to emphatically tell you, your marriage have not reduce our ages. We are still your elder brothers and sisters. Lastly, if you won’t stop marriage-shaming and marriage-peppering us or else we too, we can single-shaming you. Okay, can you spend money anyhow? Can you go out permission? Do you have ‘freedom?’ Apart from ability to unsinfully and unashamedly have sex, there is virtually anything you guys can do that we can do whereas there are many thing we can do that you dare not do… Lol.
Dear Future Wife.
From My Inner Heart,
Dear Future wife, with sound health and plenty love, I am writing this to you. Hope you are fine too? If so, Gloryyyy!
The purpose of writing this letter are many but firstly many people will in my name, saying I am Joel, don’t listen to them o o o o. What is keeping me wanting is that as a Jesus Brother with many rooms in my Father’s house, I am preparing a room of improvement, prosperities, godliness and advancement for us.
Furthermore, I also want in wife is support, fidelity and godliness and I will wish to tell you that to me borrow me is different from gift me so if you say, ‘ dear o o o please borrow me 1k. I will pay in 2030,’ I am expecting my money then but if you say,’LOML, gift me N1m,’ I will gladly do with with expecting it back. That is called having integrity.
Another thing is that we are not doing big wedding because God created marriage which we are going to do bigly and happily while men created wedding which we are going to do prudently i.e debt-free.
Moreover, my babe I am using this medium to assure you that marrying me will be an achievement and that be assured of peace of mind, vision support and hand of helps in all areas.
Finally, Super Mother, God has been flashing me, maybe He wants to call and less I forget, our kids visited me last night asking, ‘dad, why, why now,’ but I asked them to calm down.
Yours sincerely
Apostle Peter in his letter to all people concerning marriage said, ‘wives, in the same way, SUBMIT to yourself to your OWN HUSBANDS…’ (2 Peter 3:1) while Apostle Paul emphasized the same the same thing in Ephesians 5:22 that, ‘ Wives, be SUBMISSIVE to YOUR HUSBANDS…’ We also know submit is gotten from the word SUBMISSON. Now divide the word into two, we have SUB which means A PART OF and MISSION which connotes PURPOSE, CALLING OR VISION, so therefore contrary to slavery definition of submission we all knew, Submission in the biblical sense means making your wife a part of your mission, calling and purpose in life. In Genesis, Adam was given work of naming the animals, working and watching the garden which is his mission statement of which Eve will be part of. Now, what is your own purpose? Why do you think God created you? If you got none or don’t know, what will you future wife be a part of? Will She be a part of infidelity that is your mission now, in the future?
Will She be on Team Irresponsible with your goons whose only purpose in life seems to partying and womanizing? Do you think a godly sister will be a cheerleader on your gambling mission that is making you broke every weekend? Do you want to her to be a part of lies? She want to submit but dear, you got no clear mission, what will she now be part of? Should She submit herself to having sex under the influence of hard drug, will she? A Christian woman cannot be secretary to Team Laziness. Do you ever see her as part of your mission and vision? The same Mission given to Adam pre-fall has been given to us keep and dress our marriage as men of valour, sons of Most High. The mission is 1. To keep and dress marital bed undefiled. 2. To work the soil and take care of ‘garden’ of our wives and children in love, contentment and godliness. 3. To work in other to provide for the family. 4. To keep and dress family altar daily in order to rename the day for our uses from its evils. 5. To Love Her, Her Dream and Her Aspiration and her children if she got any till death do you part and
Submission in the biblical sense means making your wife a part of your mission, calling and purpose in life
6. Ultimately TO SERVE YAHWEH TOGETHER. If you embark on those missions and make her part of vision, you won’t have to force a godly lady to do, she will gladly do. Remember, if Bible said she should submit unconditionally, what will she submits to and to whom? You will do well if you make submission easy for her. Shalom.
Caveat: My parents’ marriage is not a perfect one, if perfect marriage exists.
My parents will be celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary comes 15th of July and this writeup is about 7 great lessons from their marriage which has inspired me and which should inspire you to desire a responsible marital relationship.
My parents – Mr and Mrs. Alade.
Marriage is still honorable : God declared marriage to be honorable and that loneliness is not good. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Abby Alade’ marriage modelled that biblical saying as duo cannot do without one another and none will take a step without another person’ s consent. This should inspire us and gear us to know that social media, its influencers, celebrities and or anyone’s experiences have not eroded the sacredness, honour and blessedness of marriage.
Furthermore, there is a wide gap between big wedding and happy marriage as my parents had what was called a parlour wedding then ( just payment of bride price and blessing by parents). It was indeed a small wedding that produced a big marriage. God created marriage, human beings created wedding but it needs not be flamboyant, expensive or debt-achieved before we can have a big marriage. My parents did theirs simply and live bigly. Doesn’t that mean if you have the means for big wedding, you shouldn’t do it? Or does expensive wedding automatically means bad marriage? Not at all, the glamorousness of a wedding doesn’t determine longevity and ‘happyability’ of a marriage (in fact a family friend who shared the same wedding date, month and year with them had a big wedding and theirs also is working till date) but the lesson is that we should prepare for marriage than for wedding.
In addition, happy marriage and godly marriage is not the same thing because you can be happily married like Ahab and Jezebel and not be godly married like them. My parents’ marriage is a godly one and because it is godly, happiness is guaranteed because a house inhabitated by Jesus is a happy home and two, a godly home produces a godly offsprings.
Fourthly, what worked for A might not work for B. All those marriage teachings on couples wearing the same clothes, sleeping in the same room and bed, having joint account, sharing house chores has never worked in my family (maybe in the future but for now, not working). Are all these wrong? No, they are not bad in fact they are highly encouraged but it won’t work for all of us. So everyone of us has got to decide what will work for them asthere is not copy and paste marriage because each marriage comes with its unique differences, challenges and uniqueness. My parents don’t sleep in the same room, don’t have joint account and don’t wear same clothes though they have few together, shared housechores and it is working for them for the past 37 years. Design your own happiness.
Sequel to number 4, for a great marriage to occur, like my parents’ only things matter and are needed; LOVE AND SUBMISSION. My dad loves my mum and my mum is a submitted woman. Anything you don’t anybody to hear, don’t tell my dad because he will tell his wife. Contrary to popular opinion, love is unconditional and submission is never slavery.
Divorce is not the solution to every marital problem is the fifth lesson to insipe us. My parents faced a lot of challenges that many secular marriage and relationship experts will have advised calling it quit. The challenges they faced ranges from financial, spiritual, health, in laws problems not excluding abuse of power but they didn’t quit nor give up on one another. They held on prayerfully for their marriage though God’s intervention and godly extended family’ persuasion and today the rest is a good testimony. There are still challenges in the marriage though.
In conclusion, there are still happily married couples on this planet Earth. Forget about society what is saying, happy couples still exist, godly marriage is still possible and happy marriages still abound just that some of those couples are not on Facebook like my parents, don’t have their stories on FP of newspapers and don’t ever talk. Apart from my parents, I knew many of them. You too, can be happily married. Stay blessed and 37 cheers to my parents.
My sister. A farmer, inspirational speaker and an author
Since the beginning of March, our covid19-battered world has been greeted with protests and hash tags have trended on the social media, all over the world over the killing of US black man, George Floyd. Most people on the political divides have commented on the killing but most have not talked from God’s view.

The problem that world is facing is not caused by racism rather it is caused by sin. Sin is at the Root of every human problems and it leads to death, murder, arson and all ‘ism’ that is why Bible said in Roman 6:23 that the ‘wages of sin is death’.
Did black lives matter? Yes, it matters. Why do it matter? No because they are black but because they are God’s creation and two, all lives, all people of all races and religions matter to God.
All lives matter because God said in Ezekiel 18:23 ‘Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?’ Furthermore, He also declared in 2 Peter 3:9 that ‘The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance’.
So therefore, your live matter to your Creator.
Your neighbors’ lives matter to Him not matter the his\her skin colour.
So you’ve been in a relationship with a woman of your dreams and you can’t wait to drop down on one knee to pop the question, “Will you marry me?”
While this is a good and romantic thing to do, you wanna be sure that you get the best result out of your plan, and that’s why you must know or do some things before you propose to your woman.
Read below the 5 things you must do before proposing to a woman:
Be sure you wanna be with her
I know you’re thinking if it’s possible for a man to propose to a woman without being sure if he wants to be with her.
It’s very possible.
Some men will propose to a woman and still be checking out other women.
If you are not sure she’s the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, then don’t propose to her. Be clear what you want and be sure she’s the one you really want.
Don’t propose to her and start doubting if you’ve made the right decision.
Be sure she’s ready
Are sure she’s ready to be married, and most importantly to you?
If she has projects or education to complete, she might be not be ready to be married.
Have the marriage talk with her
If you are in a serious relationship that you wish it leads to marriage, then you should somehow have the marriage talk with your woman.
This will help you to :
-know her mind
-know if you’re on the same page
-know if she’s ready for marriage
-know if she wants to marry you
-know her thoughts on marriage
You shouldn’t just dump marriage on her without having a talk with her about it. Some women love surprises anyway. But it’s better to be sure to prevent any unpleasant surprises, so that the joke won’t be on you.
Know the kind of proposal she’d love
You should know your woman enough to know the kind of proposal she’d love.
Not everyone loves to be the cynosure of all eyes, with her man on one knee before her being cheered on by a bunch of strangers or even friends.
Not everyone loves a public proposal. She might find a private proposal, the one between the both of you, more romantic.
Shyness may make a woman run away from the venue or become too tongue-tied to respond to your question. Save both of you from avoidable embarrassment.
Remember that the proposal is primarily for her or both of you, not for the world.
There is no award for the most ‘public’ proposal yet.
Public? Yes. Not every public proposal is romantic.
Hahaha.
Prepare your mind for any eventuality
While the four points above will secure you from unpleasant surprises, you should still prepare your mind for any answer because humans can be unpredictable.
Do what you have to do, and let the woman make her decision. If she requests time to think about it, don’t nurse any bitterness against her. Give her the time she seeks.
I believe that a lady who loves you will want to marry you.

Our Lord Jesus has risen! He has resurrected! He is not in the tomb again! Amen.
According to the Scripture, our Lord Jesus died and resurrected on the third day;
“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’ Mark 16:6-7.
What are the significances of Easter to us as Christians:
Easter tell us that our God that promises will fulfill His promises in due time.
The prophecies about Jesus’ ministry was foretold hundred of years ago before their eventual fulfillment. Many have forgotten about it, many have discarded it and many have come to see it as fable but at the right time in God’s sight, He fulfilled the promises He has made.
My sister, what is it that God has promised you? He will fulfill it.
My brother, the covenant God has made with you, He will keep it.
Is it car, house, marital partner, healing, financial breakthrough, job, etc? Whatsoever He has promised, He will do. Jesus promised to rise on the third day and He did.
Easter gives us hope.
Hope of eternal life, hope of eternal kingdom with our risen King and hope of resurrection. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15 says;
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
Halleluyah.
Easter also tells us that we are serving a living God.
All other religious leaders compulsorily died and never rose again but our Lord Jesus willinly gave His life and on the third day resurrected again, never to taste death again which means our God is not dead.
He is God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
He is God of the saints of old and present.
He is my God and and He is your God.
He is not dead nor deaf and He still answer prayers prayed in His name.
Easter tells us about God’s love.
John 3:16 says;
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
and Romans 5:6-8 also says;
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
If He did not deny us of His Son and Himself, what can He deny us?
Nothing.
These are some of the significances of Easter but all these benefits are for His children. Are you a child of God? If not, you can become one now by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
If you are doing so, say this prayer; Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for me. I confess my sin, please forgive me. I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
Welcome to God’s family, it is that simple but it doesn’t end here. Do find a bible believing church in your locality and join and I also wish to hear from you.
Lastly from me from Nigeria to you and all other Christians across the world HAPPY EASTER.
Is it a sin to blast in tongue, sing, prophesy or display any spiritual fruit? not! Displaying one or two spiritual gifts is good but the best is displaying spiritual fruits as listed in Galatians 5:22-23.
…display of gift without accompanying display of fruits is showmanship at its best.
That a potential partner display a particular gift doesn’t automatically translate him/her into a good hubby or a good wife because the display of a gift without an accompanying display of fruits is showmanship at its best.
Don’t fall for showmanship because inside the present church is a demon-filled sister who prophesies, fornicating brothers who see sisters as sexual conquest medals who teach, born-against pastor, corrupt men and women in the choir, men and women with questionable salvation experiences in high positions in the church, so be careful.
That he/she displays the gift does not mean he/she will be a profitable partner in marriage, the question is is he/she bearing the fruit?
GOD want you to marry but He doesn’t want you to be miserable in it.
7. God understand that we are in the 21st century
Yes, God knows we are in the 21st century and He also knows if we will live to the 22nd century but He doesn’t understand teachings, doings, actions, and postulation associated with this century that are not consistent with His word.
He doesn’t understand the reason for premarital sex even though that is the norm now.
He doesn’t understand why you want to submit to unholy sexual invites because Joseph had shown him that it is possible to control one’s urge.
He doesn’t understand why you become arrogant now because you are now an undergraduate Daniel, and his friends have proven to him that it is possible to be humble, good-looking, and intelligent and still be Christian.
He doesn’t understand why you want to trade the body for material gains because Mary had shown him that beauty is not a hindrance to godliness.
God doesn’t understand irresponsibility because Joseph and Timothy have demonstrated to Him that you can be youthful and useful to the church and society.
What God understands is that His word stands for all ages, cultures and centuries and that if you have transgressed there is a space for you for repentance.
GOD can’t disown His word for anybody for any reason at any time…God cannot and will not tell you to go and marry an unbeliever even if there are no believing brothers again...
8. God told me to marry an unbeliever
God cannot say one thing in the bible and told you to discard his written word. His word is binding on Him. GOD can’t disown His word for anybody for any reason at any time.
God cannot and will not tell you to go and marry an unbeliever even if there are no believing brothers again ( and He has promised to be your husband self) because He has said ‘do not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever and two, nobody becomes a Christian simply because he/she marries a Christian or by going to church. An unbelieving partner is like one aching teeth in your mouth which will eventually cause a bad ache to the entire mouth later if not treated (treatment for an unbeliever is a dose of acceptalin Jesus Christ).
The only message God has for you to unbelievers is the message of salvation not of marriage.
9. There is only one man/woman for me
GOD has indeed destined one particular woman/man as your wife/husband but your marital life is not tied to that particular person because for every Saul and Judas that is fumbling there is always a better David and Mattias to replace them.
If truly you are led by God to go and met Joke and she said no, report back to GOD for the next line of actions which may be; wait for that person or go to another person. Just report back to GOD and don’t make any move without His binding to do so.
What if the person dies? Does that mean you are doomed?
Your marital life is not tied to a single man/woman but to GOD – the originator and sustainer of marriage.
Absolutely NO! because for every dead and faithful Samuel, there are faithful Nathan, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Joel still living who will be equally faithful and for every Elijah caught up in the whirlwind, there is Elisha who will do double of his work and 50 sons of prophets still living.
Your marital life is not tied to a single man/woman but to GOD – the originator and sustainer of marriage.
10. God’s will is only in marriage
Pure lie. God’s will is not only in marriage it cut across all areas of our life. Be it any type of relationship, business, marriage, social life, finances, speech, etc, there is God’s standard required therein as stated in the bible but the problem is that many of us often relegated God to one corner in most areas of human endeavours and few of us remember him when we want to marry with resultant dullness in our spiritual sensitivity to how He speaks.
There is God’s will you must try to know about that university you intend to go to, a particular course you will, who you can be friends with, places you can go and cannot go, what you can eat, wear, read, how you speak, etc. Try to know His mind in other areas of your life too to experience an all-around successful life.
Remember that knowing and doing God’s will is not only in marriage but in all areas of life.
I, Alade Joel Adetunji Aladeinternational plus other well meaning Nigerians wish to comdemn the attack on Muslim faithfuls at ChristChurch, New Zealand as barbaric and unchristian behavior by a terrorist and commiserate with all those that lost thier loved ones in the attack and ask that the Lord God our Comforter will comfort the town, the families and the nation at large.
