THE SPIRIT OF ‘IT IS BETTER THAN NOTHING’

This is a strange spirit that ushers people to serious irrevocable errors. It convinces a person to accept what is not up to standard, by spiritual parameter, since it seems as if the ‘real deal’ is not sure anymore. It ensures that people get far below what God intends for them.

Beware, be warned, God has not forgotten you and He won’t, most especially, if you don’t ignore Him in your matters!

A Common Mistake Singles Make

Thinking that the only necessary requirement for a relationship is being a churchy person.

In the book of Job, we read the account of how Satan joined ‘the Sons of God’ when they came to worship in the house of God. This should show us that a mere churchy front should not be the only basis for going into a relationship or committing to someone; the reason being that so many fake Christians are in the world today. Like God said in the book of Isaiah, there are those who draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far away from me.’’ So never believe all of those in the church today are true Christians; I mean born-again. God forbid, we have had cases of people that picked up their spouse from the church and yet regret the act. It takes God to know who is good and faithful, beloved. Know for sure that, as a believer, the only person you are supposed to marry should also be a child of God, nothing less. You also note here that every child of God may have different degrees in their compatibility to you; hence you need the gift of discernment to actually get the best for yourself. Avoid basing your judgment on a person’s spiritual status by placing too much emphasis on his or her spiritual engagement or activities. ”…..And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:38 -42

BEYOND PRAYERS

It’s not only prayer that brings change and testimonies; there must be a conscious effort of followup to the prayers said!

1. Build up your faith to hold your prayer intact. Believe God answers prayers and He has answered yours, just waiting for manifestations.
2. Play your own role by displaying good character, dressing well & decently.
3. Be a Christian indeed. Read your Bible, continue in prayers
4. Let the whole world know where you now belong and your personal relationship with God.
5. Be highly expectant for the new page of great testimonies.
6. Stop visiting ‘everywhere’ for ‘solutions’; only JESUS has the answers that will bring you joy indeed.
7. Avoid discouragement at all cost.
8. Don’t you ever stop praying.

May the Almighty God perfect your joy before the end of this year, in the mighty name of Jesus.

CRUSHING THE YOKE OF MARITAL DELAY

SOME COMMON MISTAKES SINGLES MAKE

1. Failure to understand that marriage is not a solution to the problem of promiscuity. Factually, one of the key things involved in the institution of marriage is the pleasure of sex. God placed sex within the confines of marriage for all legally married couples to enjoy and for procreation. But it is a serious mistake for someone to decide to marry simply because he or she has not been able to overcome sexual looseness. The divine order is to enjoy sex in marriage. The promiscuity issue has to be addressed as a problem on its own. Once you take the disciplined steps to overcome it, marriage could come in as part of the processes that gives no room for turning back to your ‘vomit’. So do not marry because you need to satisfy your sexual desires, urges or fantasies. Your spouse may not possess the same libido as you. The end-result would be adultery or a total breakdown of the marriage. More so, your sexual desire, or lust for sex, may be greater than desirable. This is called hyper sexuality, sex addiction or satyriasis and the treatment for this is based on relation therapy. That is, what led to it (the cause) will determine the treatment. This could be medical, behavioral or spiritual. If you are a victim of this, take some time, with discipline and proper counseling, to overcome your excessive sexual urge before getting married. Be in charge of your hormones first! Experts say that overexposure to pornography creates unrealistic expectations of the act of sex and this hurts personal relationships (Taylor Wilder: Emerald). So get rid of all pornographic materials. More so, avoid and get disconnected from all the situations and persons that can stimulate you sexually.

 

I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service…and be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind… Rom.12 :1-2

 

 2. Being consumed with the desire to be married. If you fall into the category of people that are so keen to get married that they are oblivious of the ugly situations that may rear its head, you are playing with fire. Due to one factor or the other, some people have decided to make getting married a do-or-die affair. They are so desperate that they decide to go for any available option.

 Beloved, marriage does not work in that way; it is deeper than that. There is a spiritual covenant attached to the institution of marriage which must be understood before embarking on it. This same covenant has its dos and don’ts. They must be strictly followed and obeyed. If not, there will be irrecoverable damage. That you are ‘getting old’, as you think, does not mean you should be so desperate and in the process jump into murky waters. You have to be extremely careful because marital errors put a person into a state of absolute regret. There is no one that enters the fire of marital error and comes out the same, that is if the person comes out alive. The fire burns without mercy. This shall never be your portion, in the mighty name of Jesus.
