BEWARE OF RED FLAGS DURING COURTSHIP  I learnt (read) of one lady whose husband refused anyone visiting her while she was pregnant.  It was strictly her alone at home from morning till evening when her husband would come back, before she would see another person one on one. The man also refused her registering for antenatal.  According to the issue, his denomination doesn't believe in hospital or medications or medical doctors and anything related to that.  It's strictly like the Hebrew women by the mothers in the church to come during child labour. SADLY, ACCORDING TO THE WHOLE STORY, SHE EVENTUALLY DIED DURING CHILD LABOUR.           A TRUE LIFE STORY IT WAS Please, dear single brothers and sisters, WATCH and PRAY as you are preparing to get married.  Courtship time is not romantic time. Courtship time is not the moment to suspend your brain in the name of "l am in love... I love him/her."  Please, ask questions. While...

🥂 HOW DO l PROPOSE TO SISTER FAITH? 🥂 I  used to have some some brothers asking me how to propose to a sister and I keep wondering how difficult that is! Like, how can a brother from DLBC still wants to learn how to propose to a sister? I don't understand 🤔 When the church leadership has made ot easy for you already. If you truly know you are convinced, the way I was convinced and still convince (that's faith, as it's written in Hebrews 11:1, and we still learned that on Sunday in church during STS), and you really see and know, with fire of love burning in your heart towards her, as it's written in SoS 8:6-7, go to the MC members and open a file. Once you go for medical and they later call you to propose to her, actually, by this time, she should must have known someone is coming to propose to her and she's already happy and blushing waiting for the proposal. If truly you're convinced (through faith), l also believe she's likely to have some witnesses al...

 TO SINGLES AND MARRIED  I can't blame a man whose wife is home all through the day while he leaves home 5/6am only to come back 6/7pm. But if both are working, no excuse. Another thing is, after wedding, if the woman is also working as the man, yiu don't go about doing all the chores while he sits or sleeps. By the time you take in or start having children, you will understand better but it may just be too late to bring him back to be assisting you. Politely request for his assistance as you work. While you cook, let him help in mopping, cleaning the electronics, tables, etcetera Washing dishes doesn't take away his manhood. Pounding or turning fufu or eba or Amala or semo doesn't reduce his anointing. I still turned fufu yesterday and my wife was so glad seeing the smoothness. Obviously, some ladies are the architect of their own problem in that they excuse their husbands in helping out and with time, the man becomes relax... By the way, his wife is alway capable... S...

"Any pastor who buys jet, any pastor who has a school, any pastor who ordains his wife a pastor won't enter heaven." As much as l don't totally support owing a personal private jet (because of the expenses on it, most especially the hanger, comparing that with the number of times it's needed to be used), but sometimes, out of over zealousness or present low of understanding, we preach certain things, but when we get to some levels, we realize those things are just non-essentials_ they are not part of the Gospel but mere man baseless understanding, misconception or personal interpretation that doesn't relate with the mind of Christ. The wife of a pastor, if she's into the ministry alongside with her husband, doesn't need to be poured anointing oil upon. She's the pastor to the women directly in the church (as the women leader or coordinator) working directly with her husband for the perfection of the church and it's the Holy Ghost ba...

HE WROTE THUS "DON'T MARRY WHO YOU LOVE BUT LOVE WHO YOU MARRY."                    #MY_RESPONSE  It's imperative you marry someone you love. Love doesn't grow on wedding night. You may not love the person who proposes to you, as a sister, but before you give a yes to the proposal, be sure you have prayed yourself in if you know he's the will of God for you truly. As a brother, l don't understand how you want to propose to someone you don't love.  If you are in courtship with someone you don't love, definitely, something is wrong with you. In similitude, you don't have a choice, you must love the person you are married to if you want to have peace and enjoy your marriage.  In between, it's God's commands _ love your wife... Honour your husband (you can't honour who you don't love). Don't enter a marriage covenant with someone you don't love No, don't even start a courtship with someone you don't love. God doesn...

MARRIAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS That it's the perfect will of God doesn't take away your responsibilities individually to contribute to its success. Even our salvation that's free, the price having being paid by the only Begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, by His blood, we have responsibilities to take: We must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we must confess our sins, and forsake those sins (Romans 10:8-10).  If anyone thinks marriage is just all about him/herself, without the readiness to forgive, love, submit, respect, exercise patience, make sacrifices, etcetera, l doubt if such marriage can be successful.               Segun Okeowo AJAYI                  ©King David's Pen 🖋️
