''Give me a man, with whom I will serve You...'' A legendary love story

Bonjour,  I am tearing up listening to Mama Gloria Bamiloye saying something about her husband, Evangelist Mike Bamiloye. They inspired me to write this. Most of my posts so far has been on praying about your marriage and making God the centre of it.  To the singles out there, have you ever thought of communicating with God about your future partner?  Do you have expectations(specs) of whom you would like to share the rest of your life with?  Go to God in prayer and ask Him to give you what you want. The best part of God anwering your prayer is Him giving you what is actually Best for you. He knows what you need but He needs you to ask for it.  Now to today's topic; Marriage can actually take you to hell; either here on earth or after you are dead! That is why I have my slogan of, ''it is not here that matters, but in the end, before my creator" . This phrase (title for today), from Mama Gloria, shook me. It made me think back to what I had prayed for in

Eight things to pray about in your marriage

Buenos Dias, We have discussed how important it is to pray about your marriage, Because we do not war against flesh, but against principalities.  So now, what exactly, do we pray for?  Here are some areas where I believe we should pray for or about more often. There could be more but I am focusing on eight for today. Remember to never cease praying. 1) Pray for the Blessing of the day(today): Today (everyday you wake up) is the most important day of your life. We need to be grateful for life and for the opportunity to do what we need to do and do it right; not waiting for some other day to it. 2) Pray for the Presence of  Christ: Pray for the Lord, Jesus Christ to be present in your marriage. That means you asking him to be the centre and pivot of your marriage. Again it means you are going to be The Christ in your marrige(What will Jesus Do?) Be Jesus to your spouse, to your children. The Leader if you are the husband and the helpmeet if you are the wife. Always th

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to

SETTING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

Welcome Dear Readers, We need the right boundaries and foundation to survive this world. A healthy life built on God's word.Setting healthy boundaries can sometimes be very difficult to define. Trust me, Extremely difficult because you look at how the other partner is going to feel about whatever boundary you are coming up with. But unfortunately a marriage without boundaries is headed for doom. We encounter boundaries in our daily lives; the traffic light, the stop signs, medicine dosage, sports rules, work expectations, the ten commandments on and on and on it goes. Boundaries are good for our marriages because they assure us of how to stay safe and healthy in different situations. It protects the marriage and makes the marriage strong. Boundaries can be spoken or unspoken. As a couple,we must establish boundaries to protect the integrity of our marriage . It is important that a couple is on the same page when it comes to boundaries. So what boundaries do we set in our ma
