FIRST BECOME AN ADULT

By -



If i had married ten years ago, my wife would have married me believing that she married a civil engineer. And now that i’m a pastor, it will be war and the marriage would be a disaster because the person she had in mind to marry isn’t the person she is seeing and me would not be happy because as a pastor, my definition for an appropriate spouse would had changed.
The reason many marriages are failing now is that it came quite too early for either or both of the couples. Life changes in stages, what and who you like at 18 changes when you are at 25 and it changes when you get to 30. If you’ve not totally changed into adult personality, then you can’t choose properly for yourself the spouse you want. Those who married before they became adults, marry to divorce latter.
You don’t become adult the day you start developing hairs on your private parts or using pads, you become an adult the day you enter your destiny in life i.e. the day you discover your talent and purpose in life and steer towards establishing it.
God saw Adam only fit for marriage not because his voice has not deepened, not because he now has mustache, not because he now got hairs on his private part etc. but because he now knew his purpose in the garden and he is now working to accomplish that aim.
If you marry because you think you are lonely, greater loneliness will continue even in your spouse’s house because marriage is no cure for loneliness, God is. Adam didn’t marry because he was lonely but because he was alone in the pursuit of his purpose in life.
You are only qualified to get a spouse when you are alone in your pursuit of your destiny. It’s when you’ve discovered yourself that’s when you’ll be able to ascertain your spouse without mistake.
When someone comes to marry, first find out if he is an adult. An adult is that man that had discovered his purpose on earth and is gearing towards accomplishing it. Marriage is the merging of like purposes, if you don’t know your purpose; you can’t find the suitable person to merge with.
God bless you.

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
