OPERATING IN THE SUPERNATURAL.

"And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them" - (Isaiah 42:16 KJV)
.
Except God opens a man's eyes, he will never understand the mysteries surrounding his life. 
.
Dearly beloved, life is spiritual and full of mysteries that your physical senses cannot comprehend or discern. If you're to succeed in life and in the assignment He has given to you, you must remind Him of His promises in Isaiah 42:16.
.
There is a man that operates in the physical and there are men that operates in the spiritual, hence, few men operates in the supernatural. A blind man is not just a man that cannot see physically but also a man that cannot see spiritually.
.
When you operate in the physical, you might end up making your enemies friend and you'd take your friends as enemies. If many had operated in the supernatural, they wouldn't have married the person they marry or strike that business deal.
.
You can operate in the supernatural divinely or through divination.
.
When you access the supernatural through divination, that is, through occult, you'll dine with the devil at the expense of your soul. The devil doesn't give a man anything without a ransom and that ransom is at the expense of his soul and eternity.
.
When you have the ability to see or operate in the supernatural as God opens your eyes, you will not sleep the sleep of death (destruction) in any situation neither will you be at the mercy of your enemies or situation (Ps. 13:3-4).
.
Seeing into the supernatural or operating in it is not meant for prophets, seers or men of God alone, God will give you that grace if you diligently walk with Him.

IN CASE THEY NEVER CHANGE.

We all put our best foot forward in courtship. You were careful to apply your powder correctly, the lips stick was the right colour, you had your hair cut every 2 weeks, shirt well ironed and shoe shinning in all its glory!

You were the perfect gentle man any lady would dream of, never angry, always smiling, ever gentle, forever loving!

You were so sweet to look at, admired him a lot; you hung unto his words and would never dream of offending him. You were so respectful, peace loving generous, kind and humble to a fault. What happens 5 years after marriage?

He easily get angry, complains a lot, would not pick his clothe from the cushion, farts all over the house, rarely get his hair cut when due and even smells sometimes.

She flares up easily, get food burnt while cooking, rarely makes her hair when due, nags daily, won't listen to you when you talk and thinks you are the stupidest human being she has ever seen in her life.

Are these changes strange? Not at all. Were they pretending in courtship? No they have simply put their best foot forward. They weren't trying to deceive their partners, it's all part of courtship, the game of yore, trying to win their love and giving them your best.

What now happened after marriage? Familiarity, comfort, stress, pressure, daily exposure to each other wear off the desire to impress each other. You want to face reality and deal with issues as they come.

Your weaknesses will come out under pressure. Marriage experiences all manner of pressures daily. Nagging, shouting, screaming, yelling, abusing or fighting your spouse will not change your spouse.

As much as their weaknesses are driving you crazy, learn to approach your partner with respect. Sympathize with them please. No one likes to do things wrong, not you either. You yourself are not perfect, you have serious weaknesses your partner is tolerating and begging God to help you change.

Stop abusing them because of the things they are doing wrong. In case they never change despite all the correction and approach, hand them over to God in prayer and you act right. Teach them how to behave, act and do things right not by nagging but by your shinning example!

Ignore their weaknesses and love them regardless. Mature couples overlook each other's faults. When we know that our partner loves us unconditionally regardless of our weaknesses, mistakes and flaws, it motivates us to change. We unconsciously desire to be like them and do all in our power to make them happy.

May the Lord grant us all the grace to always do what is right.

May your marriage be sweet! May all bitterness be turned into sweetness, may your sorrow turn into joy, may your home become a haven of angels, blessing and prosperity. May you not loose your marriage. May God Himself dwell at the center of your home. You will not lose your family. Enjoy bliss forever more...

Thanks for reading. God bless you. Cheers!

YOU MUST LEARN TO HOLD IT.

I recently had an health issue requiring hubby to stay off me in the intimate department. I enjoy sleeping in my birthday suit smooching and prowling all over my sweetest sweet. Hubby lay beside me like a lamb, he allowed me to be free with him but his hands were still; completely in control, not overstepping the required boundary. He was perfectly calm, cool, collected as I slept close to him enjoying his warm body. Great awe struck my brain and I exclaimed the following morning, "how did you do that?" He simply smiled in his sweet, gentle, handsome way.

There will be occasions in marriage when you can't have sex, if you do it at a time you shouldn't, either or both of you may suffer for it! There are times your spouse won't be around. Compulsorily few months after giving birth, you just must stay off sex till your wife's body heals!

If you are not used to controlling your sexual desire before marriage, you will fail woefully in marriage! That is why most men today commit adultery. Hubby was able to hold himself because he was used to controlling his sexual urge as a single young man.

One woman had to be bundled to her village till she delivered her baby safely because the 9 times she had miscarriages, the husband kept having sex like crazy when the doctor clearly told him not to. He just could not control himself around a woman! The lady's family had to bundle her out before he renders her barren for life!

Pastor Sam Adeyemi said the doctor advised him to sleep on the floor while the wife sleeps on the bed if he can't hold himself as she needs to stay off sex due to her health issue for a while till she is medically certified to resume her sexual duties. He said he smiled and told the doctor there won't be any need for that. He can control himself.

When you allow a man have sex with you in courtship on the ground that he can't hold himself around you, you are destroying your marital peace without knowing! This man will commit adultery the moment you are not available! Teach him self control now by denying him sex, he will get all the sex he wants in marriage.

Many women who complain their husbands cheat were having sex in courtship. Not all, but many!

Very few couples trust each other these days. One man won't allow his wife get a job that involves traveling because he doesn't trust her to stay sexually faithful to him. She was always demanding and having sex in courtship. If she couldn't hold body in courtship, how will she hold it in marriage?

Many women never pray their husbands travel outside the country because once he is gone, he would have sex with anything in skirt!

Some men will never travel and leave their wives behind, not because they will miss her but because they do not trust her to stay sexually faithful behind them.

Countless marriages are in shambles, broken and shattered beyond repair because there is no trust!

Adultery, emotional and sexual affairs are rampant today because several couples can't control their sexual urge.

A successful marriage is built on trust, genuine love and self control. If you lack self discipline, your marriage will not work!

You need God to control your sexual urges though, "...for the fruit of the spirit is...self control..." (Galatians 5). It takes God to control ourselves in the face of hot sexual temptation.

When you are used to disciplining your appetite daily, you won't fall cheaply into sexual and emotional temptations.Sexual temptations are designed to pull you down!

No matter how far you have gone in sexual immorality, you can start all over again. Christ offers you a new beginning. Give your life to Him and you will be glad you did. 

Thanks for reading. God bless you. Cheers!

Return to Your First Love.

My relationship with Clara is an experience I'd never forget in life.
.
Clara and I were best of friends. We understood each other, we sacrificed our comfort just to ensure we made progress in our academics and we virtually agreed on almost everything we both had in common.
.
From music, religious belief, values on purity and life's principles to sport, purpose and marriage; we blended well.
.
She opened my eyes to a whole lots of things about the women folks, she taught me some principles that helped me become a better man and I also reciprocated because I wanted her to be the best among other women.
.
But unfortunately, this chapter I am about to write became the last straw that broke the camels neck.
.
I never knew what went wrong with me that I began to nurse feelings for Mary. Mary came with her deceptive look, she appeared flashy as opposed to Clara's decency, moderacy and simplicity.
.
I lusted after her beauty, little did I know that she had no substance. She had a good container but an empty content. My relationship with Mary never lasted forever but I lost those good times I relished with Clara.
.
Of a truth, beauty is vanity but a woman that fears the Lord shall be praised.
.
Before you blame me, learn from my experience.

How I wish I never left her!
.
Return to your First love my brother and sister!
.
I do not mean your relationship with your boyfriend or girlfriend or with your ex, I mean your relationship with God.
.
Remember the first love you had for God! Those times you delight in hours of worship, studying the Bible and enjoying fellowship with other brethren in the household of faith.
.
Have you forgotten those moments when you walk or run into issues in life and His gentle still small voice whispers solution to you?
.
Do not forget those first works you did for God. Then, praying for the lost is not a burden, in fact, prayer was a delight to your soul, studying the Bible felt as a honeycomb to your taste. You'd rather prefer to spend time with God than to gossip or chat on social media.
.
Alas, there came that young man who promised to love you more than Him through lies and flatteries.
.
From nowhere, that lady strolled into your life with the appearance of an angel but she had a heart of Delilah. You lusted after her and she took you away from your First Love.
.
They promised you love but they exposed you to lust, immorality and sexual sins. They deceitfully and pleasurably took you away from His secret place.
.
You now enjoy to chat with them for hours than to spend time with God. Prayer has now become a laborious task but you delight in having those meaningless and filthy conversation with them.
.
Yours may not be a relationship but now, work, marriage, the pursuit of happiness and wealth has taken you away from God.
...
Because of relevance on social media, you're now an adept expert in Facebooking, twitting and instagram usage so that your fans or followers would think you're spiritual, learned or social.

Are you now pursuing ministry at the expense of your walk with God or you now employ gimmicks to do the work of God rather than follow His blueprint?
.
My brother, my sister, return to your First Love.
.
He's still waiting where you left Him.
.
He stands knocking at the door of your heart. But the more you kept pursuing those vanities, the fainter His voice becomes.
.
You may still be going to church but you've backslided already. You can still be singing in the choir but your voice lacks recognition in heaven.
.
Before, when you sing, sinners weep but now, they give you a standing ovation because you have invested so much in skill at the expense of the anointing.
.
Return to your First Love and don't allow the devil use that secret sin or relationship to destroy you completely.
.
God loves you. Jesus equally does and do not want you to perish.
.
Forgiveness is still possible if only you'd repent and go back to God. Like the prodigal son, arise and go back to your Father.
.
The devil has sin and its pleasure to offer but He will make you lose your soul in eternity.
.
This post is a wake up call to everyone that has left their First Love and those first works they did when they were dwelling in the secret place of the Most High.
.
I pray that you will find the grace to repent and turn to God for complete restoration to your first love.
