YOU MIGHT THINK HE’S SLOW…

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,as some understand slowness. Instead He is patiently with you,not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance”
~2Peter3:9
Some things we desire from Him and we think He is slow in answering us has so many underlying reasons that we do not know and might not be able to fathom, because His ways are soooooooooooooooooo higher than ours and what our human heads can comprehend.
Some things if given to us, no matter how good and genuine or right we think it is, can lead to our destruction if given to us now and because He is not willing for anyone to perish by a gift, He delays it till He considers it the right time!
Now, the question on the minds of Christians today might be how do I know what to fight for in prayer and what to let go (if God does not really want me to have it now)?
Well, this answer cannot be separated from our personal fellowship and communion with the Holy Ghost. He gives you a witness in your spirit to go ahead and fight or He tells you to rejoice because that desire will surely come at His own time because He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Take a look at your desires now. Are they in line with what God has written down?
Well, its Gods desire for us to live good and comfortable lives, be promoted in our careers,enjoy a good marriage, have children, be healthy and allllll good things of life.
However, we must come to realise that the moment a man does not have any challenge or what He’s looking forward to access, he might come to a false thinking that he does not need God.
There is no single person on earth without a challenge (including our Bishops and Pastors)
Challenges vary according to your level and walk with God per time.
Challenges are not meant to swallow us but to perform some works in us which mainly includes to increase our level of faith and trust for him in the face of contrary situations. He also takes us through some challenges because we have a ministry to people in that area. But how can we deliver if we have not really felt the same thing. A message is more powerful and delivered with passion if you have a first hand experience. God uses us as a seed for the harvest in that particular area of challenge.
You are that seed that will bring the harvest for many people in that same situation.
It all depends on the way you see it.
How can you explain a woman that God tells exactly the number of years He wants her to wait before giving her a child? She’s someone well known to me. She simply relaxed even when tongues were wagging and people were asking all manner of questions.
And did it happen when God told her it would??? Yes! It happened exactly that same year!
People! God is not a wicked God and He’s too faithful to fail.
He does it when He will do it and its all in our interest.
The best we can do is to continually draw closer to him in prayer believing that at the appointed time, He will deliver.
Having done all your part…. STAND!!!!
Friends, STAND!!!
Maintain your joy,
Let no devil steal it!
Tell him you know better.
Don’t waste your years in depression.
There’s still sooooooooooooo much more to live for, beyond that desire!
Hold on to the horns of the altar!
He will surprise us all and even “if not….” He is God and has the best in mind.

WHERE IS THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE BEFORE YOU SLEPT WITH HIM

                                               


Good afternoon everyone, i wrote this story while i was in school but never published it, just modified the title, I hope you all enjoy it..
Amaka was the only educated person in her family, her father was a carpenter while her mother sells food. Amaka passed her WAEC and JAMB examination at a sitting; she filled University of Lagos as her choice of University to study Pharmacy.
Amaka resumed her new school with a high expectation of graduating with a first class; little did she know that she was in for it.
Amaka was allocated to Moremi hall, with a very nice roommate. However, during registration, amaka met Damilola, a 300level Pharmacy student. Amaka was happy to meet Damilola because she was studying the course of her choice and she was more expose than her. Damilola was mostly called “street dogs” by her mates; she loved clubbing and was also a major in “sugar daddy course”. Poor Amaka thought she had met a mentor.
Amaka spent most of her time with Damilola and like the saying ‘that one cannot run away from ones habit”, Damilola began to show the stuff she was made of. She invited Amaka for a party one day and Amaka accepted the invitation. Little did Amaka know that Damilola had already organized a ‘sugar daddy’ for her.  Amaka got to the partly elegantly dressed, her make up was so perfect, and she actually looked beautiful that day. Amaka was introduced to Chief Ademuyiwa by Damilola; she never understood that Chief Ademuyiwa was her date for that night. After the first and second course meal, Chief became bored and wanted to enjoy every bit of Amaka. Amaka was already drowsy; hence she followed Chief into the room he had booked earlier. Amaka was innocent that she never knew that she was in for it that night. On getting to the room, Chief Ademuyiwa started making some funny moves, which Amaka was not comfortable with , she told him to stop , but he was already aroused. Amaka started crying but couldn’t help her self. Chief Ademuyiwa penetrated into Amaka, and oh , Amaka was still a virgin.
Amaka’s life was not the same after that night; she started attending parties, had several man friends and was just “enjoying herself”
There is a saying that one day is for the thief and another day for the owner. Amaka became ill and was admitted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, several test were conducted on her and Amaka was diagnosed to be HIV reactive, “the owner has caught up with her”, and Amaka the main girl now has to deal with her disease. Who infected her among the men was her first thought, knowing the man doesn’t solve the problem. What will she do now?

                                      
However, its very painful that we’ve neglected our tradition, in the oldern days, when a lady get married, the parent always look forward for a keg of palm wine signifying that the lady is virgin, ladies that were not virgin were taken back to their parent homes.. While this practice was inculcated, we never heard of veneral diseases, can we say that the advent of veneral disease is a way that God is using to punish us.
If you really want to have sex, intend of seeing any person to have sex with, go and marry, you might say that marriage as its ups and down ,I  don’t want to marry, you then have to pick one, is either you abstain from premarital sex or you get married.

                                              
Further more, innocent lives are endangered (unborn babies), if you known that you don’t want to kill an innocent life, don’t venture into sex.
Sexual promiscuity brings harm to every one concerned, one that is sexually promiscuous is endangering his or her life to several veneral diseases and most of them do not have a permanent cure and this can affect the person in various facets if he attributes her failure to others. It pays to keep oneself.
