HandlingRelationshipIssues

It's no doubt that it has been indisputably stated that there's time for everything under the heavens: a time to love and a time to refrain from loving.  Love is a sleeping giant that has the capacity of pulling down every stronghold whenever it's awakened. He is so generous that he gives his all when he enters into your life. He makes the wicked to see their state of wickedness when he's expressed to them, in fact he patiently loves those who are termed unloved.  But when you wake love at the wrong time, destruction would set it. It was highlighted three times in the Book of the Songs of Solomon never to stir up love until it's time because doing a wrong thing at the right time makes it wrong.  Are you thinking of going into a love relationship? Don't wake up love until when: 1. You understand it Your understanding about love isn't about what you read in Mills and Boons, what you watch in Telemundo or in soap operas. The best understanding about love can...

There are many things in life that will never move unless you set them in motion. Just like Newton's third law of motion, a body remains in the state of rest until it's acted upon by a force. You can't become great in life if you're waiting for the right environment; gold shines better when it is refined in fire and a good seed in a dirty soil brings out a wonderful fruit. What are you doing with your life today? Many people are waiting for the government to make the economy favorable before they act. Many of us in Africa don't have good leaders, you need to make things happen for yourself otherwise you'll wait forever till old age and discover that you have wasted many years waiting in hopelessness. Not everyone has the privilege of being born with a silver spoon. Great men are not made because they were born great, they did something great with their life. If you're not born with a silver spoon, rebirth yourself with the kind of spo...

"No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier" - 2 Timothy 2:4 I have never seen a soldier who entangles himself with the affairs of a civilian. No, he must face the battle if he wants to win. Life is a battle. A child of God is a soldier who must fight some enemies that would prevent him of her from laying hold on eternal life. You are not a Christian to end your race here on earth, you have a home faraway and there are enemies that would prevent you from going home. There are three major things you must avoid as a soldier of Christ if you want to fight the good fight of faith and win. A soldier can't win a battle unless he focus more on the battle and keep his eyes off distractions. The affairs of this world are categorized as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. The lust of the flesh is what the flesh craves for...

"For by means of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread" - Proverbs 6:26a What a tragedy! The world we live in has made it look like there's nothing wrong with sex before marriage since everyone appears to be doing it. Christians who ought to know best are doing it and unbelievers likewise aren't spared from this evil. Before you venture into anything in life, always ask yourself these questions: what does human and divine laws says about it? Is it beneficial? What are the side effects? Hear me, scientists do not create sex. You do not create likewise. God created sex and He gave man the instinct to have it. He also gave man the right atmosphere where he can use it unreservedly - marriage. That you have feelings for sexual intimacy doesn't make you abnormal but it's worse when you dance to the tune of your feelings. The word 'illicit' means unlawful and it's not approved by law. If scien...

Life doesn't give you what you desire but what you determine to possess in spite of all odds. A good and successful marriage isn't a product of wishing, it's a thing you must determinedly work for. I have seen, heard and read about different kinds of marriage in life. Some are still in their marriage because of the children or for the fear of what people would say if they call it quit. Moreover, some are enjoying bliss every single day despite the challenges they're facing in it. Marriage can be broadly classified into two kind, especially of those couples who still live together as husband and wife. They can be said to be either enjoying or enduring it. Dear singles, before you go into marriage, you must determine the kind of marriage you'd have and this goes a long way on whom you marry and your perception about marriage itself. However, the following facts will help you as you prepare or continue in the marital journey if you ar...

Marriage is God's idea. He conceived the thought that it wasn't good for man to be alone and that He would make a help meet for him. On this basis, He went ahead to make the woman for him. But many, at the point of their marital decision felt there's no need of involving God in their quest for whom to marry. However, making marital choices outside God's will or practicing it outside His instructions is the major cause of marital disharmony, divorce, separation, domestic violence, extramarital affairs, pre.marital affairs and so on. Marriage was drafted into man's instinct and absolved into several cultures of the world. That God has given man a brain to make choices doesn't mean he should make his choice without God. What is God's will? God has a desire for all His creation especially the men He created in His own image and likeness. His thoughts convey His will and they are of good (Jer. 29:11). As wise or spiritual as...

Dating to several people means different things but one general meaning accorded to it is a non-platonic relationship that exist between the opposite sex. Dating, has become a popular act people practice to know whom their potential marital partner would be. It's a term that stems out from the western world and has crept into the Christian faith. They indulge in romance and later graduate to sexual immoralities with the aim of knowing whom to marry. Does God categorically stated it in His word that He hates dating? Nay! But there are pointers to it in His word. I'd humbly suggest that you unlearn all the self-help principles you have learnt when it comes to choosing a life partner and learn it the God's way so that you can get the God-kind of result. Why does God hate it? 1. It exposes you to the evil men and women do for 'love' sake Because the heart is evil and desperately wicked, dating a man or woman can't mak...
