Why Are Christian Marriages Failing?

It is always a great joy whenever I receive an invite from young christian brothers and sisters inviting me to their weddings. I put on my best suit and polish my shoe leaving no traces of dust. Just before the vows are said, I begin to get scared. I ask myself; Is this also going to last long? What is the foundation for this marriage? Is this another plot by the devil to just put them together and split them in some few years to come??? Though I am putting down some notes to share here soon, I would like to know from you........WHY DO CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES FAIL????? Share your thought

Missing You....................

Its been a long time. I have been off the scene for some months now. Am doing so well and I hope all my readers and followers are also blessed. We are back and I wish you all a happy and fruitful 2014. Stay blessed!!!

LET THE SUN STAND STILL

Life indeed is interesting. Not all times are smooth and the same way definitely not all times are bad hence at every minute we have something to thank God for.

One thing we definitely need in life is to pray to let the sun stand still on our lives. Look at the sun very well and you will notice that first, it gives light. Thinking through the book of Joshua and after listening to the hymn "Jesus Shall Reign where'ere the sun", I concluded that indeed there are some things man cannot do in the evening. You can bear with me that humans are so limited. We are limited in so many ways. Reading Joshua 10:1-15, we saw how Joshua on the day the Lord gave the Armorites over to the people of Israel prayed for the sun to stand still. Joshua saw that when the sun goes down, there wouldn't be any light to locate the enemies. The fighters of Israel will therefore start fighting against each other heance he prayed forthe sun to stand still. God created heaven and earth as well as day and night but on that day He made the day rule over the night. The enemy loves darkness, yes. It tries to flourish in darkness. I am beginning to feel and think that maybe the Armorites would have either run away etc but Joshua saw the need to ask the controller of the Sun to make it stand still till victory is won.

Its time men start praying to God to let the sun rise and set no more. We ought to either change our prayer topics or add some to it. We need to pray till there is peace in our countries. You and I need to be the sun on our families, our schools, work places, neighborhood, marriages and relationships. Life people say is a battle but I think they are preparations God want us to go through for a better tomorrow. We therefore need to be strong and pray without ceasing. Pray and stand still till the battle is won and till every enemy is destroyed.

When the sun continue to stand still, you are able to locate the enemy in its hiding place. You are able to take control and fight victoriously because the enemy hates light. Its so sweet when the sun rises and sets no more over our lives, marriages, education, finances etc.
When it matters most, when we call on God, when we trust our ways to Him and walk with Him, He is able to do all things exceedingly above what we think off. When the sun stands still in your life, you keep fighting on. While Joshua’s men were fighting, Joshua
prayed to God. He asked God to make the sun stand still until they had won the victory.
Believe it or not, God made the sun stop in the middle of the day and delayed it going
down about a full day.
God listened to Joshua and granted his prayer request. Now remember that Joshua had
recently done wrong. However, God has heard Joshua ask for forgiveness and God erased
the sin. Joshua learned his lesson from his mistake. He talked and listened to God and did
what He wanted.
Stand still and fight till victory is won.

Let us pray, let us hold on, let us keep the faith, let us pray the sun stands still on our jobs, marriages, relationships, works, christian life, families, countries etc.

Stay blessed.

HELP ME DECIDE PLEASE.

I remember very well back in high school we used to mock at other students who never received any cards or gifts on valentine's day. Students who couldn't stand that devised a way which was to wrap up a gift or card, address it to themselves and leave it with the postman only to be delivered later to them at any social gathering so as to be recognised.
As I relaxed in the seat of the bus on my way to work today, I was a little bit at sea because I have now left school and still I don't have anyone standing by that I can count my hopes on to receive a gift from and we are just three days away from vals day. What am I going to do now? I can't just fall in love within three days just because of vals day but I need a card, gift or at least a message too. I need to feel loved. I need to feel I have somebody thinking about me too.
After mentally scanning through all my female friends and yet settling on none, I decided to give up only to receive a proposal the next second.
I heard a voice telling me He fell for me right from my mothers womb and that He even knew me before I was born but how possible can that be? He even said He always stands at my door and knock but I never open up so if I think He is lying, I should go and read Revelations chapter 3 verse 20.
We communicated at lenght within my mind and finally, He asked what I least expected; DO I LOVE HIM? I asked myself how on earth can a man fall in love with another man? I really told him there are a lot of beautiful ladies around so He should please go to them rather but He said no and that am the one He loves. He said he has done a lot to prove His love for me to the extent of Him dying on the cross for me and asked me to imagine the benefits I will get if I say yes.
He is not bad anyway. He is patient, cute, loving, handsome, rich, caring, providing just to mention but a few.
I don't really know what to do. Should I say yes to His proposal? Somebody help me please.

THE FUNNY MYSTERY SIDE OF LIFE

That is life. We have no other option but to accept it. It is nature and this is what I call the mystery of life. I have never stopped to think but it unfolds every second. Some of which we are withnesses, others we only hear on the world news networks.
In this world,
Whiles bush burning is becoming the order of the day in some countries, natives of other countries are busily planting trees with the aim of greening their environment.
Whiles companies are laying off because of credit crunch, others are employing.
Whiles some people are sad, others are busily making merry.
Some relationships are broken whiles others are busily falling in love.
Whiles people are afraid to build because of the earthquake in Haiti, Dubai now boast of the world tallest building.
Whiles there are wars in some countries, other countries are busily signing peace agreements.
There are shortages of water in other countries whiles others experience flood and are fed up with God.
People are being taken to the morgue or mortuary whiles others are happily returning home from the maternity ward.
Whiles some married couples are childless and their marriage is about to hit the rock, another couple have about six to eight children but they are all disrespectful and a nuissance to the community in which they live.
Others are dying whiles new ones are being born.
It can go on and on and on but never forget that whiles man continue to sin, God keeps loving us and forgiving us.
That is life. What we need is patience and trust in God.It may not go well for you today but trust God for a better tommorrow.
Its nice to wish for something but don't worry if you dont have it because you don't know what having that might have done to you.

WHAT AN INSURANCE COMPANY!!!

I was very much supprised when I entered the premises of this much talked about insurance firm. My friends, it was good and I must confess I have not seen or heard of any insurance firm of this nature ever.
Among the areas you are insured are Life, against death, future, marriage, education, Long life, happiness, safety, Hope, Love and anything you can think off. An insurance company whose manager never sleeps nor slumber, who has already paid your premium even years ago before you were born, etc.
The manager is very loving, He cares for your needs, He gives you Hope when you are hopeless, gives you peace in times of troubles, remains faithful even when you were unfaithful to Him at the time of filling your insurance form.
Claims are fast and there are no delays at all. Claims are paid from the first day you apply and unlike other insurance companies I know where you are being paid when something happens to you, this insurance company am talking of rather protect you from anything happening to you seven days a week.
You don't actually pay any money or premium but you get value for your money.
It is in no rush to compete with any other companies but it tops the insurance rating table when the ratings comes every out every month.
It got to a time I personally became confused and asked myself how the company is going to make profit and secure funds to pay its workers but the manager told me "ALL THE SILVER AND GOLD THAT WE RUSH FOR ON THIS EARTH ARE HIS". What does this man mean? I opted to see the CEO but I was told no one can see the CEO unless through His son who is the manager.
To be insured with this company, you need not fill any forms. Just be sincere to yourself, accept you are a sinner, confess your sins and believe in the manager who mentioned His name to be JESUS CHRIST that is all. NO PAPER WORK, SIMPLE , NO DOWN PAYMENT AND IT TAKES ONLY A MINUTE. WHY NOT JOIN NOW?

FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER

It is a bright new day and I can already feel the blessings God has stored up for you and me in the month of Feruary.
I will be talking this time about forgiveness. I know sometimes it is very difficult to forgive one another. Sometimes, the pain is just too much to forget about. We read it in the Bible always, "God created man in His own image" but sometimes, the pain fellow men leave behind after dealing with us is difficult to forget and forgive them and I tend to ask myself, are these people created in the image of God? I just can't imagine God creating someone in His image and likeness for the one to be that wicked to me.

As human, we will surely find it difficult to forgive sometimes but as much as we could, we should try our best to forgive one another anytime we are being offended.
It does happen to me sometimes but what I really ask myself after keeping that pain in my heart is the benefits afterwards. The person offends you sometimes knowingly and at other times unknowingly and leaves with a free mind. You keep all the pain in you waiting for a perfect time to pay him or her back in his or her own coin.
What about you just forgiving the one and going forward to explain things to him or her peacefully suggesting a better way for things to be done or a better way to approach you next time?
It may be difficult but I don't think it will cost us anyhing if we forgive one another.

TRY THESE USEFUL TIPS

If you have been expecting something from God and it seems to delay, the solution may be among the following;

1. Ask yourself if you have seeked first the kingdom of God because it is after this that ALL other things shall be added. (Matthew 6:33)
2. Have you really asked? (Matthew 7:7)
3. I think sometimes there is absolutely no need to be asking for only such riches from God when He gives you the chance to. (1 Kings 3:5-13)
4. Maybe you just did not ask in His name. (John 14:13, 15:16)
5. Do you love God yourself? (Romans 8:28)
6. I think God is preparing you for something bigger. Just endure the delay and you will be amazed at the results. (2 Corinthians 4:17)
7. Maybe you just don’t give or you usually give expecting something in return.For all I know, it is when you give that you receive and God also loves a chearful giver.

Have you faithfully answered them? How do you rate yourself? Why not make the necessary corrections and try again?

FROM IS TO WAS...

She entered without knocking and offered herself a seat. I had no option but as I was about to speak, she asked me why I have decided to change from is to was?
The begining of every relationship is lovely and interesting and it is the wish of partners to continue forever but beware of the following you guys. The earlier you remove these cobwebs from your love life, the better.
The first important thing all men need to know is ladies love guys or men who make time for them. They don't take excuses if you are always going to work and relegating them to the bottom of your priorities. They expect you to be available anytime they call on you and also to back them anytime they found themselves in a debate even when they are wrong. If you know they are wrong, back them in public and correct them in secret. Give all your time to your partner without working and the next minute, they will brand you as a lazy man who can't even put a three course meal on the family dinning table.

Secondly, if you are a guy who loves to say the last word in every discussion, please desist from that because women loves to have the last words always and that is final. After they speak, case close. Any word from the man starts a new debate and argument and if you are not careful, you will never sleep to have enough rest for work the next day.

They love to make fun and pull your legs but beware when replying or else, you will cook your own breakfast the following morning.

Fellow men, when you are indoors and you hear a knock on the door, you are expected to open the door within some reasonable time of period. Failure to do so raises eye brows and she begins smell a rat.

What of sending her a text message on her phone at reasonable times during the day(over doing it may seems like you are blogging on her phone) , ending every conversation with 'I love you", playing with the baby whiles she does the cooking or washing, telling her how special she is all the time, complaining less, admitting your wrongs, finding it easy to say AM SORRY to ask for her fforgivness anytime you go wrong, arranging to go for holidays away from home together, being open and not keeping all things to yourself thinking you are handling it as a man, buying her present on odd days and not only when it is her birthday, planting a lovely kiss on on her forehead when waking up from bed(of course not when you know very well you did not brush your teeth when going to bed that evening and you have some left over pizza stored up in there), being smart to know her needs and providing her with it before she ask for, making her number one on your scale of preference etc?

A relationship that is full of love, happiness, etc IS one that needs recommendation and what we all aspire for or else, the story will change to a relationship that WAS..........

How do you feel when someone you love dearly decides to turn down your proposal?

You feel you are carrying the whole earth huh?
