Marriage Is Bigger Than the Two People in It.

🔖 Marriage Is Bigger Than the Two People in It. If marriage itself is to be honored and esteemed even above the people involved in it, what does that mean in practical terms? For purposes of illustration, it may help to compare marriage to working at a job. Let’s imagine that you and I go to work for the same company. The company is a form of institution, and we have joined that institution by accepting employment there. We have committed ourselves to the institution. Suppose we end up working side by side at adjacent desks. We build a good working relationship and get along fine for a while. Then, one day we have a sharp disagreement over something and exchange heated words. We both decide that we are not talking to each other anymore. What happens next? Do we quit our jobs simply because we had a falling out? I hope not. (Some people quit over this kind of thing, but it is almost always a sign of immaturity). But, instead, we both go home, still angry and at odds, but th...

GROWTH FACTOR

In Isaiah 5:26 the Bible says; “that God lifts a banner for the distant nations, he whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Here they come, swiftly and speedily!” To whistle from that verse of the scripture means to call; it's a form of introduction that God is willing to take upon Himself to let nations know that you exist. The purpose of it is to help you with the necessary help that you need to arrive at destiny earlier than you would have arrived alone. And God is making this thing happen speedily because the urgency of your destiny matter so much to Him more than it does to you. He wouldn't mind redirecting nations' attention for your sake, just to make the people that matter meets with you. But the condition is, will you be obedient for Him to introduce you to the people that matter? If God is not pleased with you, He won't whistle to the people around and afar to hear you. There is publicity He will never make for you.  God is saying I'll whi...

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKE RELATIONSHIPS WORK

# YOU MUST IDENTIFY & ACCEPT THE LIMITATIONS OF THE PERSON Everybody has a limit. You can't walk through a door that isn't open. Probably you propose to someone, but they say NO, don't feel bad but seek another option. I used to think that God has a particular person for us to marry. How little my knowledge was then! Because we were told if you can't find your rib, forget about it. I was so worried about the ideology behind the rib until I discovered that there's something so greater than finding a spouse, yet, God doesn't choose it for you. It's your salvation – yet God doesn't influence it. He doesn't decide that you'll be saved tomorrow or next tomorrow, He only gives you chances to be saved. You can decide to agree with Him or not. But I urge you to follow God's leading for your life, it works for me, and I'm living proof of that. I have never seen God forcing or deciding salvation for people. He waits patiently for yo...

GOD'S FAVOUR

Do you know that God gives favour? Once upon a time, a young lady was among the captives taken to a strange country. She and her people were taken in as captives. A time came that the king of that country was searching for a queen. The order was given and this young lady was among the hundreds of maidens who would be prepared to appear before the King. The King would then choose whom he was pleased. This young lady obtained favour before the eunuch who was in charge of the maidens, and he gave her the right instructions and treatment that would make her very outstanding. When the time came for the maidens to appear before the King, this lady again; among the hundreds of beautiful maidens, found favour before the King. At the end of the day, she made it and was crowned the queen. That's the story of a Bible character by the name, Esther. Hers is a story of one among many people, who are wrapped up in favour. Favour is real and can be experienced by people of all ages. Fa...

THE EFFECT OF LITTLE CHANGES

I got into a conversation with a friend two days ago, precisely the eighth day of November in the year 2021. He commended me on a daily broadcast I usually share in the WhatsApp group we're both in, stating plainly that he listens to each one of them. I was delighted! Glad to know that I had a consistent follower. Smiles... From his tone, I know he was being impacted through the broadcast. But there was some gap. He was having some challenges bridging the gap between hearing and doing what he's heard. My awareness of this brought my excitement a bit lower. And I knew what the problem was because even while I met him, he was doing something I shouldn't have expected from him. But the truth remains, I still see him as a changed man. No result comes outwardly and then goes inward. The change first starts from within before the results manifest outwardly. I didn't doubt what was happening within this friend of mine, but I could perceive his fear of expressing the change out...

ETERNAL IDEAS

God never wastes ideas. He keeps renewing them until it is fully consummated in the minds of men to approach the desirable results or intents.  What He has shared with people some twenty years back can still flow in the heart of men today. Sporadically, when the real package of a given idea isn't utilized, He'll have to bring it up again, giving humanity another chance to make a conceivable replay of it. Ideas never die, not even in the mind of God.  He keeps factual documentation of every idea He has passed to the minds of men to make sure none is wasted out of laziness and misappropriation. God sees ideas as a resource. He's the fundamental source of everything available for humanity, if not man's originated wickedness.  I was reading the account of Abraham and how God made him a prosperous man in his time.  The same thing God told Abraham about SUCCESS and how to sustain it can still be said in this 21st century without missing words.  The differe...

WHO IS YOUR FRIEND?

While I was walking with my friends this thought came so strong in my mind that read “Don't seek for friends but try to become a friend” . When you become a friend, you build yourself towards the caliber of friends to be attracted to you. Friends know themselves and what they have in common before they cleaved to each other.  Friendship should be the most measurable cycle yet misunderstood by many, as one of the popular sayings of Dr. Myles Monroe goes; “when the purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable”. Friendship serves purposes, and the purposes should be emphasized rather than the act. Many track down friends, but not everyone is ready to serve in the capacity of a friend. Jesus Christ sees us as friends, and He did something that commemorated very well towards that entitlement, which entails life sacrifice for the friends. Friendship without a cost is like a dream without a vision, all ending nowhere. That's why people get frustrated because of their demands, simply beca...
