The Beauty of Love for the Man and his Wife - Worth the Read

Reasons to Love me and why I should Love you [Introral] Love me for who I am and Love me for who I am not Love me for what I do and Love me b'cos of my future Love me when I am not me and Love me as you love yourself Love me cos am made in the express image of God Love me more when I am in pain  (sick, broken, in a negative situation of love). Pull someone out of his/her crisis or/and go through with them, then after tell them how stupid they have been in a comforting manner. That is Love. Not rather rebuking them in their worse times all in the name of Love. 1 Samuel 1:8, Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah,  "why weepest thou and why eatest thou not and why is thy heart grieved, am not I better to thee than ten sons?" Love me more when I don't live to your expectation . 1 Samuel 18:20,  And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him . Would you love him or her if she/his danced till "her/his" garment fall...

Greater Love

Jesus gave you everything... He gave HIS LIFE for you so you can live forever He gave up HIS Royalty for you so you become Kings and Princes He gave up on HIS riches just so you can be richer than rich He gave up HIS flesh to be broken just so you will never see sickness and weakness ever again He gave up HIS Majesty and Honor to be kill naked just so you have no shame, no guilt, no condemnation But have Honor Radiance Righteousness and Holiness Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.[John 15:13] Jesus did it for you because He ranks you as friend. Love as He has recommended [in John 15:12-13] God bless you. For the promotion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ [GreaterLOVE ]

What do I do with Jesus

By God’s grace and love through Christ Jesus we’re saved and now live higher lives and are marked for the eternal kingdom of heaven. Before salvation came our way some of us were students, teachers, doctors, market women, business men and women, lawyers and politicians among others (These were and are the course of our lives) Then salvation came our way and some of us were called by grace to become pastors, teachers, apostles, evangelist and prophets in the will of God in the power of the Holy Spirit to sustain, edify, grow and lead His church. You see, we’re all not called to be pastors, evangelists, teachers etc. In truth, not all of us can be church leaders. That notwithstanding, Jesus Christ commands us in Mark 16:15 to testify, to preach, to proclaim, to open up our mouths and tell of the Good News of God's love towards us in Jesus Christ to the world. It doesn't matter whether you are a pastor or not, whether you're an evangelist or not, an apostle or not, you are qua...

Demand Your Blessing

The Holy Bible tags God as  all powerful  and our  provider . God has a lot of blessings in store for us especially in this year and it's very important that we come to the realization that children of God have the power to demand these blessings from God. This is because He has already said he will bless us. Demanding your blessing is just showing God that you are worthy enough for it [because of Christ Jesus]. In Ephesians 3:20 the bible says " ...for unto him who can do far more exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to the  POWER THAT IS AT WORK IN US ". (That's the power we're talking about)  Now we've got to understand that the power we have is  key  in the spiritual realm and is granted by the Holy Spirit  seeActs  1:8 . Faith, Pray and Righteousness are necessary for the abundant blessings of God in our lives. In  see1  Corinthians 12:9  the Holy Bible talks about the gift of faith granted b...

Stand Out: When You Don't Fit In

We all want to be liked, cherished, and appreciated by our peers. But what if I told you that God could care less about these things? What if I told you that God didn’t care how many Facebook friends you have, or how many people follow you on Twitter? And what if I told you that God isn’t worried about how popular you are? In fact, what if i told you that the purpose of the Gospel isn’t to fit in at all, but to in fact stand out… Romans 12:2 -  Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. In today’s worth-seeking world, being “liked,” and “wanted” is something we all yearn for. And whether we want to admit it or not, It’s how our culture forces us to feel, and not to mention it’s how our culture advertises us to feel. The World Says: But when we begin to look into the depth of Scripture, none of those things are actually true. God has called us to be different. To stand against the grain. To be a city on a hilltop  seeMatthew ...

Why Leave Church? - Follow The Story

A youth went to the pastor and said “Pastor, I won't be going to church anymore.” The pastor responded “But why?” The youth said “Ah! I saw a sister speaking bad of another sister; a brother that can't read well; the worship team living wrong; people looking at their phone during service;among so many other things wrong in the church.” The pastor replied “OK. But before you go, do me a favor: take a full glass of water and walk three times around the church without spilling a drop on the floor. Afterwards, leave the church if you desire.” The youth thought : too easy! And he walked three times around as the pastor had asked. When he finished he told the pastor he was ready. And the pastor asked “When you were walking around the church, did you see a sister speaking bad about another sister?” The youth replied “no.” “did you see anyone looking at their phone?” “No” “You know why?” “No” “You were focused on the glass, to make sure you didn't tip it and spill any water. It...

The Coming Glory

What does this theme bring to mind? Hagai 2:3 'Which of you is left who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?' Beloved, there's a glory coming which is better and able to change and turn situations around. Sometimes you try to reflect on who you used to be. How handsome or beautiful you used to be. How rich or wealthy you used to be. How modest and spiritual you used to be. How holy and pure you used to be. Originally, God gave you great glory, enough and sufficient to take you through life. But something suddenly happened to it and it's now regarded as formal. Sometimes you stay in your closet and cry and wonder if there is a way to restore your glory. Beloved, I'm happy to tell you there's a reconciliation in Christ. There's a thing we call ' a second chance ' in Christ. The bible says if anyone be in Christ, behold, the old things are passed away and all things have become new.  Belo...

10 Tips for Choosing the Right Partner

I recently read an article in Psychology Today called "10 Tips to Help You Pick a Good Partner'' by Dr. Barton Goldsmith. What really jumped out at me was this line: "Picking the right person for the right reasons at the right time is an art form." I cannot think of a more accurate statement in one sentence that sums up dating. With the divorce rates as high as they are, it makes sense that it takes the right person, right time and right reasons to make a fulfilling and strong relationship. I love Dr. Goldsmith's tips, and as a nice complement, I wanted to write my own: Don't make choices out of fear: So many times people either choose a partner or stay with someone in an unhappy relationship predominantly out of some kind of fear. Usually that fear is being alone but fears can vary widely from person to person. It's often better to be alone and wait for the right person than to make a decision out of fear. Making decisions out of fear leads to confus...

Understanding Your Partner's Love Language - Gary Chapman

My conclusion after many years of marriage counseling is that there are five emotional love languages — five ways that people speak and understand emotional love. Words of affirmation One way to express love emotionally is to use words that build up. Solomon, author of ancient Hebrew Wisdom Literature, wrote, "The tongue has the power of life and death" (Proverbs 18:21, NIV). Many couples have never learned the tremendous power of verbally affirming each other. Verbal compliments, or words of appreciation, are powerful communicators of love. They are best expressed in simple, straightforward statements of affirmation, such as: "You look sharp in that suit." "Do you ever look incredible in that dress! Wow!" "I really like how you're always on time to pick me up at work." "You can always make me laugh." Words of affirmation are one of the five basic love languages. Within that language, however, there are many dialects. All of the dia...

Kingdom Business is Serious Business- Proph. Joshua Dsane

Obadiah  1:16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. The things of God are sacred and precious in His sight. The way you treat them is equally the way life treats you.  Those who have no reverence for the house of God nor His servants open the door to the devil to mal-treat them. This is why proverbs 4 advices us to guard our heart because where our treasure is, is where our heart is. And God has place these treasure in earthen vessels. In other words the heart of the body of Christ are the preachers.  So if the church doesn't guard their heart (preachers) with all diligence, out of that mistake shall produce the issues of life. Thus saith the Lord to His bride.
