WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPRESS?

Some people will sew/buy two wedding gowns_one for church and the other to snap pictures to post on social media. Don't know who they're trying to impress on Facebook

Beware of hypocrisy

Beware of a double standard life

Beware of creating a wrong impression on the mind of others, especially the younger ones or those coming behind you_ they are watching

Beware of men's and women's pleasers 

Beware of showing up _ even what you are not_ but because you want to get remarks of the people

I was aware of some people who didn't even have the money, so there wasn't reception, but rather converted the money they would have used to entertain people who came from far away here and there to attend their wedding and rejoice with them to buying different changing clothes, shoes and bags to snap their fine fine pictures to post on social media in order to impress their social media people who didn't even know they were getting married, not family members, didn't contribute anything towards the success of their wedding and will never contribute any to their marriage, but just to impress, to show up they have what they didn't really have.

I just shook my head.

It's those pictures some people will see and begin to put eyes on what's not in your marriage even when some people are struggling to survive after wedding.

May God have mercy 🙏

WHO ARE WE TRYING TO IMPRESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

Some people that they are struggling daily even to eat, pay rent and wear good clothes normally, but when it's time for birthday, they will gather money here and there, including borrowing and begging, go to studio to snap pictures then they will edit the life out of the pictures thereby making the pictures completely even different from who they are when you see them and post on social media to get "good comments" here and there, but when you meet them in real life, you are confused as you try to relate the pictures on social media to the person you are seeing.

Why the hypocrisy?

Who are we trying to impress?

May God have mercy on us in Jesus' Name.

WHEN I WAS A CHILD...

"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...

GET HIM TO ASSIST YOU (SINGLES AND MARRIED)

Image
 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...

BEWARE OF RED FLAGS DURING COURTSHIP

Image
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...
