Marriage- Enjoying The Full Blessings- by Akin.

Marriage is a beautiful thing. This is so true that it makes me smile ☺- even as I type this, yep! I believe that God instituted marriage as a means by which humans may better live life in a fulfilling way. Even the Scriptures show us that God specially favors a man who finds a wife....Proverbs 18:22 (Message Translation) says, Find a good spouse, you find a good life--and even more: the favor of GOD! Can you imagine that?! Awesome stuff. If this is true, and it is, one may wonder why success in marriage is not quite the experience of many today.

Now, we took a little survey from a program aired on a local radio station and discovered the following results; about 20% of married couples are just getting by in their marriage while reporting that it's 'just normal', another 30% of couples today are totally loving it, I mean everyday sunshine 🌞 and butterflies kinda experience, they're having the time of their lives. However, a chunk of about 50% are in trouble in their marriage, wishing they hadn't been with their spouses or even regretting they ever married altogether in the first place. Some even reported that they've been depressed since the second or third year after exchanging their vows on the altar. How sad, isn't it?



 I think it matters to a significant extent that every Christian refers to God's Word as the foremost source of wisdom for life, including marriage. This is because, marriage is not a man-made institution. God founded the institution of marriage. (Genesis 2:22-24). He intends for every member of the sacred institution of matrimony to have a sweet, healthy and fulfilling experience, Proverbs 19:14 says, House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife [is] from the LORD. God seeks to bless us, desiring for couples to enjoy and rejoice together all their lives.

But, how can one enjoy these blessings in one's marriage? How can a man activate and benefit from God's special favour reserved for the husband? What does the scripture mean by the statement "one flesh"...? All these and more is to come in the next issue of the series, *MARRIAGE - Enjoying The Full Blessings* on the No 1 Christian Lifestyle Blog.

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

PLB Editorial- Confessions 201

Just a few words... James 3:2-3(Amplified translation) For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. If we set bits in the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. We must never disesteem the power of words, we can steer our lives (our entire course of existence) in the direction we choose with our words. The Scripture above claims that if (and it's possible) we can master our tongue (master words), then we are a perfect and fully developed spiritual entity able to determine the circumstances and results of our being. Mehn! Use words rightly on yourself and others and watch your life beam with incredible supernatural radiance. You can proclaim the words below: I live a supernatural life everyday I am in the class of almighty G...

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
