More Errors About Love And Marriage
4. There is undoubtedly a curse against me.
Curses do exist. But, the freedom from curses is far more genuine! While the devil is bad, God is loving.
We have been freed from the curses of the law because of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. We now have freedom. You shouldn’t let the devil rule over you once more!
Gal 3:13-14 MSG
Christ redeemed us from that self-defeating, cursed life by absorbing it completely into himself. Do you remember the Scripture that says, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”? That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the Cross: He became a curse, and at the same time dissolved the curse.And now, because of that, the air is cleared and we can see that Abraham’s blessing is present and available for non-Jews, too. We are all able to receive God’s life, his Spirit, in and with us by believing–just the way Abraham received it.

5. I’m not required to get hooked. I can simply have a few children and get on with my life.
Something is lacking when you think like this. Such thoughts are contrary to God’s order and standards.
A person who claims he or she does not need marriage but still sleeps around is attempting to obtain the benefits of marriage without the obligations that come with it. That would be immoral. That is not God’s purpose, and you can guess what the children raised in such circumstances will become.

6. I can’t see God’s love me. He doesn’t love me.
You will never be forgotten by God. God will never abandon you.
“But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.” (Isa 49:14-16, KJV)
I love Amplified Version of verse 16
“Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (tattooed a picture of) you on the palm of each of My hands; [ O Zion ] your walls are continually before Me.” (Isa 49:16, AMP)
Your image is inscribed on the palms of God’s hands, not just one, but both.
Trust in His affection. React to His love, and you will perceive His love more clearly. By obedience, you react to God’s love. Obedience to God increases God’s love and compassion in your life.
May you experience God’s love in a unique way, one that is tailored to your specific needs, one that turns your tears into laughter, one that turns your trials into testimonies, one that ministers specifically to your heart, one that melts away all doubts and replaces them with an assurance of His love!
Good morning!

Erroneous Ideas About Marriage
1. I am not married because I am not beautiful
You see, everyone perceives beauty differently. You will be gorgeous to your partner no matter how you appear when you first meet. Why do you believe you lack beauty? It’s most likely because you heard that from certain folks. Yes, that is what they believe. Regardless of how you appear, someone will soon compliment you on how lovely you are
Psa 139:14 KJV
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You will be fearful (ugly) to some and you will be wonderful (beautiful) to others!
When you meet your spouse, you will be beautiful.
Erroneous Ideas About Marriage
2. Due to my previous transgressions, God is punishing me.
God never uses the past to predict the future. Let’s examine the text of the Bible.
Heb 10:17 KJV
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Not only will God pardon you, but He will also forget about it. He would remove it from His files. And pay attention to what I say: Don’t let the devil, who accuses your fellow Christians, hold you back from what God has pardoned and forgotten.
Here is what The Message translation says:
Heb 10:17 MSG
He concludes, I’ll forever wipe the slate clean of their sins.
Don’t let the devil add anything more to what God has already said. Allow no one to insert a comma where God has placed a full stop.
Erroneous Ideas About Marriage
3. A woman can never surrender to her husband in a successful manner.
God commands women to submit to their husbands; it is not up for discussion. You will enter a season of unimaginable favor, an explosion of creativity, and the fullness of God’s blessings over your life when you submit to your husband. Why? because you are following God, despite the difficulty.
1Pe 3:1-2 AMP
(1) IN LIKE manner, you married women, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of God], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [godly] lives of their wives,
(2) When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your reverence [for your husband; you are to feel for him all that reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him–to honor, esteem, appreciate, prize, and, in the human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love, and enjoy your husband].

Cracking the Code: What Every Woman Wants. Someone once said that the most complex being God created is a woman. I’m not sure if I agree with that. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions and be the judge. People’s perspectives may differ based on their own experiences.
Every woman, in my opinion, possesses a key. And you don’t have to look for every woman’s keys. You only need one key, which belongs to your spouse! That’s all there is to it.
You’re set once you have that key. This key is not intended to be used to manipulate her emotions in such a way that you become the puppet master with all the strings.
We’re talking about knowing the password of your wife /fiancee and learning it, using it to please her, and seeking to understand the great help that God is or has brought into your life.
Our culture or environment may lead us to believe that marrying a woman benefits her, but this is not the case.
You find good and bring favor into your life when you find a woman. Good things will start to accumulate in your life!
That’s why I usually say to people, “You will not Shi-Marry!” Good prayer, bad English! Because good things will happen to you if you marry the right woman.
Cracking the Code: What Every Woman Wants
1. Every day, pray for or with her.
That is extremely important.
Thank God for your phonetics, but if you don’t know how to speak in tongues, you’re not prepared to face and overcome the challenges of raising a family.
Thank God for your bank account, but if you are spiritually bankrupt and unable to lead your family as a priest, trouble is on the way.
Cracking the Code: What Every Woman Wants
2. Tell her “I love you” on a regular basis, many times daily.
How is this on the list? That is extremely important to every woman. Women experience a wide range of complex emotions, which are frequently accompanied by self-esteem issues; they simply needed to be affirmed over and over again, especially by the one they love!
Allow no one outside to assist you in complementing your wife, lest she becomes distracted. How long do I have to do it every day? Perhaps as often as you can. Do it whenever you have the chance.
Your wife is a wordsmith. Your fiancee is a wordsmith. As a result, women generally speak more than men. A typical man speaks ten thousand words, whereas the average woman does twenty-five thousand! Isn’t that enormous?
She enjoys being tickled by words. She may be acting as if she isn’t having fun, but she is. She has that attitude because she wants more.
So when you tell her, “I love you,” she understands. She says, hmm…as if she doubts you. In reality, she doesn’t want you to stop, and she wants you to do it again.
I advise women whose husbands have hung the words “I love you” and tucked them away in some dormant closet to reawaken the experience by telling them constantly “I love you.” You want it, but it isn’t coming, so you give it to him often, and sow it as a seed, and you will eventually reap it! I will continue on this.

8 Reasons To Stop Stressing and Start Living. Bro. Zeru went on his knees without warning, smiling.
He slowly, romantically, took out a ring and proposed.
“Are you willing to marry me?
Sister Sube closed her eyes for a moment before landing a deafening slap on the poor brother’s face!
Sister Sube began.
“What have you been doing all this time? For all the endless vigils I had praying for a husband, for all the times I fasted, including dry fasts, for all the nights of desperation and depression wondering why God abandoned me, for all the times I thought I would never marry again because something was wrong with me, for all the times I nearly ended up with an unbeliever out of desperation, for all the times I thought I was not beautiful and something was wrong with me, for all the times I thought there was a generational curse and a warped lineage, take one more,” and with that, she gave him one more deafening slap!
Then she smiled. “My answer is Yes, I will marry you!”
By this time, Bro. Zeru didn’t know what to make of it, whether to cry or laugh.
Sister Sube pulled him up and gave him a hug. I love you too and I will marry you!”

8 Reasons To Stop Stressing and Start Living
That story is humorous, but it also illustrates what waiting singles go through in their bid to get married.
But I want to tell you something this morning: Stop worrying!
Actually, when you worry, you are out of faith! That is why Jesus said
“Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” (Mat 6:33-34, MSG)
Here are eight reasons why you should stop worrying as singles and couples
8 Reasons To Stop Stressing and Start Living
1. Your spouse is alive, breathing, and probably praying to meet you as well. It is not as if he or she is just about to be born. Rest in God’s arms, that He will cause your paths to cross.
Couples, stop worrying about how things will turn out. You are now married. God has you covered.
2. Your marriage is in the future, but it is in God’s past. In God, it already happened. It is a live match for you, but for God, it is a replay! It has happened. Have faith in its manifestation and stop worrying.
Couples, God provided before you began. Learn to stay in faith and enter into rest in Him.
3. Worry adds nothing to you except anxiety, depression and doubt in God’s promises. So don’t weary yourself unnecessarily.
Couples, enjoy your marriage rather than endure one another.
4. No matter how many weddings take place daily, nobody can marry your spouse! That is the reality! So, relax in God’s promise. It will happen!
Couples, stay faithful to one another. Trust God to keep you together.
5. In God, your wedding is never late, it actually becomes the latest in town. When you are in God’s season and timing, you are never late because God has a purpose for everything.
6. The Lord is your shepherd. He will not lead you wrong. A sheep never worries. Not once! He only follows!
And even after the wedding, you keep following Him. He has the blueprint!
7. God will not bring you to the place of birth and not cause you to bring forth. In the same way, God will not bring you to the place of marriage and not cause a spouse to show up! Believe that!
And God will not bring you together and deny you of fruitfulness. He has it all figured out!
8. God is more concerned than you are concerned. It is just your ability to key into that faith and judge God faithful over your marital life.
The same goes for those who are already married.
Whatever you are trusting God for, business breakthroughs, the fruit of the womb, and more, they are in God’s past. They are already done!
I want you to stop worrying and step into faith. Faith is a realm of possibilities. Great things happen there! Trust God for the best.
8 Reasons To Stop Stressing and Start Living
He has not left you nor abandoned you. The devil wants you to believe that, but the devil is always a liar.
God has you in mind. He has it all planned out!
Let me conclude with this scripture:
“I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” (Jer 29:11, MSG)
God knows what He is doing. The man may be confused, but believe me, God is not confused about your life. God knows what He is doing! He has it all planned out!
Rest in that. No more worries! Rest in His plan. Something great is working out for you. Believe it and you will see its manifestation! It is well with you!
I see God bringing you into the reality of His plans for you. I see God bringing speed into your life. I see a new day for you! Believe it and you will see the hand of the Lord!

Physical Intimacy For Singles and Married Let’s talk to the singles first! Flee Fornication! To flee means “to run away as in terror!” Where God asked you to run, don’t say “Let’s reason together! Run for your dear life!
It doesn’t matter if you are the head of the Prayer unit, that thing doesn’t respect your anointing! Just run. Before sex happens, you will always know, at least five minutes before. The voice is changing to bedroom voice, the room is becoming romantic, and you are all alone, staring into your eyes as if you have never seen each other before, you are smiling at each other sheepishly when nothing is funny, you are holding hands and goose pimples are appearing, and you are still sitting there saying you are in control? Dear son, dear daughter, you are already out of control. Things are about to fall apart where the center can no longer hold, and the next thing will be the arrow of God! So run!

Why would you visit him to spend the night? What were you thinking? Is his house a place for Night Vigils? or did he say his place is now a hotel?
The Scripture advises that you should not wake these hormones that are sleeping on their own!
Son 2:7 (KJV)
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
Don’t indulge in oral sex either! How do you hold that thing in your mouth on Friday and still come to hold the Microphone on Sunday? Ha, fear God o! Stop poking at Grace!
I have said all of these to tell you, get back to God and consecrate your life all over gain. Get that fire back that you have lost in the place of compromise!

Now, to the couples. Can you imagine? We are telling the couples, to do this thing o! We are telling singles, don’t do it! God will help us!
God desires that you have sexual pleasure as married couples! As in, have the most fun in that area! Some people believe they are more spiritual than God!
Let’s see what the scripture says!
“Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.” Pro 5:19 (KJV)
Solomon is advising us in God’s word! That is, concentrate on your wife’s breasts rather than another man’s! When another woman’s breasts start winking at you, you’re moving toward adultery!
Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe. Where? On the bed! Be thou ravished with her love! It means you should be in love with her.
Another translation can be found here.
“She is beautiful and graceful, just like a deer; you should be attracted to her and stay deeply in love.” Pro 5:19 (CEV)
Physical Intimacy For Singles and Married
Stay deeply in love with each other and keep your attention on each other. Stop letting unnecessary demonic squabbles ruin your sexual life! It is not safe for a man to be sexually starved due to quarrels, nor is it acceptable for a woman to be sexually neglected due to childish tantrums.
Forgive each other quickly and have fun sexually!
It is a decision you should make as a couple!
Do not use sex to punish your husband, dear wife. It’s not going to work.
Do not ignore your wife in order to punish her, dear husband.
Make a decision to enjoy each other!
Have sex first, then settle your differences later. Singles, stop using sex to end quarrels! There will be too many quarrels, deliberately! If you know, you know!
Be blessed!
