3 Questions for Being the Perfect Spouse

Scripture: Submit to one another out of reverence for
Christ. (Ephesians 5:21)
Believe it or not, finding the "perfect" spouse starts
with being the kind of spouse you desire. This week,
we'll focus on looking inward.
1. Am I Becoming the Person God Wants Me to Be?We
should always strive to become more Christlike -- not
a "Christian" in name only, but a true follower of
Jesus. Whether you are new in the faith or have been
following Christ for years, you should always seek to
learn more about our Lord and grow in your love for
him. Submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in your
life, and let him make you into the person He wants
you to be, for His glory. (Philippians 1:6)
2. Am I Able to Love and Lead God's Way? (Men)
Husbands are commanded to love their wives "as
Christ loved the church" (Ephesians 5:25-28) --
sacrificially and unselfishly. The only way to do this is
through the power of the Holy Spirit living in us. The
Bible calls husbands to "love their wives as their own
bodies" because "He who loves his wife loves
himself." (Ephesians 5:28) The Bible says "no one ever
hated their own body,but they feed and care for their
body, just as Christ does the Church." (Ephesians
5:29)
3. Am I Able to Submit and respect? (Women)All of us,
men and women, are to submit to each other
(Ephesians 5:21), and ultimately to God. God
specifically calls wives to submit to husbands
(Ephesians 5:22), and respect them (Ephesians 5:33).
God calls husbands to lead. The Bible says "the
husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of
the church" (Ephesians 5:23). That means, as a wife,
you must "submit yourself to your own husbands as
you do to the Lord"

The Kidnap

  It is one thing to grow in the household of Faith and hear of the great and mighty signs and wonders  that accompany a true believer’s life; it is another thing to have a real life experience of what is being preached. This could be assumed as the thoughts of Mr. F.E., a young student of Obafemi Awolowo University, after  escaping a death toll of a kidnapping event. Mr. F.E. had stated that even though he has been going to Church  and had heard people share testimony on different occasions about God's safety, he had never imagined him  being kidnapped or experiencing a real-life Miracle of being delivered from the hands of death. A moment with Mr. F.E. Just like every other faithful day, I started the day getting myself set for school, as we were at that time writing  our second-semester exam. I had some urgent needs that day; one of which was a laptop because I needed it for  my exam but I did not have a personal one.  The plan was to reach out...

The Little Drops

It's a beautiful day in the State of Osun, stepping out of my house was graceful and I was particularly excited to go out after a long time isolating myself from this whole pandemic.  On my way out, I noticed some changes within my street (the good, the bad, the ugly). Some SMEs started up during this pandemic and they are doing pretty well, buildings were been completed and obviously those that are ready to cause trouble at any given opportunity. (Well, that is not my focus for today)  Did I mention I was going for a meeting? Pardon me, I was actually scheduled to meet a young brilliant CEO of a fast rising software company. We discussed at length, in summary, it was a great and purposeful meet. On my way home, I was replaying our conversation (which I normally do most of the time after a meeting). Of a truth, I was surprised at how versatile I had grown to be. Now, stay with me, I'm just getting to into the real gist.  I remembered an incident that brought about today's...
