Love Before And After Wedding. Don’t Fall In Love With Just Anybody. Why fall in love with another person’s spouse? What do you wish the other person? That he or she should die so that you can get married to that person? Not a good wish and that is a prayer God will never answer.

Such desires waste your time, it blinds you to the original thing God wants to do in your life and ultimately bring delay in God’s individual plan for you. Besides, you will be endangering your life. The wrath of a man or woman whose spouse is being trifled with is not something to experience.

It’s the same when you have sex with your neighbor’s wife: Touch her and you’ll pay for it. No excuses. Adultery is a brainless act, soul–destroying, self–destructive; Expect a bloody nose, a black eye, and a reputation ruined for good (Proverbs 6:29,32-33 Message)

Why fall in love with a person you cannot spend your life with? You don’t like him, but you are in love. You know he doesn’t like you but you are in love. The pastor must not know about the relationship, but you are in love. Your parents must have none of that relationship, but you are in love. All your friends are warning you about this person, but you are in love. God’s principles are being violated but you are in love.

Well, that would not really be love, because you cannot love a person you don’t like! Something is amiss somewhere and it is an indication for you to apply the brakes.

Why fall in love with a man because of money?

You don’t love him, you hate his guts, but now you have fallen in love with his money. Man is not designed to be Jehovah Jireh, so don’t attempt to invent that.

That man promising you heaven and earth will fail you in the end. Why? Man is built to disappoint!

Why do you put up with him? Money? The wrong purpose for sticking together! Why would you put up with an older woman? Money? Wrong way of living! It is what Jesus Christ referred to as the deceitfulness of riches.

Married Couples – Love Before And After Wedding

Married couples, You fall in love over and over again with your spouse after the wedding because it keeps the marriage fire burning. It is what you must do deliberately.

Love Before And After Wedding. Let’s talk to married couples.

In marriage, you should not allow the fire to go out. Be creative. Never stop wooing each other.

There are intense temptations and traps out there, so you protect each other by falling in love repeatedly! Take yourselves out again. Toast her again. Get the flowers and write the poems again!

When you make that sacrifice for each other, you will have peace of mind in your marriage and you will be able to maximize the power of agreement that lies in a good marriage!

Finally, what do you do when you find yourself in love with the wrong person? Walk away. Run away. Fly away! By all means, save your soul!

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. (Proverbs 6:5 KJV)

I know it can be uneasy because of emotional connection, but when you think of the inevitable agony that lies ahead, the consequences of disobedience that are sure to come, the disenfranchising of oneself from the favour and support of God, and the delay of God’s beautiful plan, when you think about all those and more and you sum them together, you will muster enough strength to fly away and say a “strong NO” to a wrong lifestyle.

And the beauty of it all, God will be waiting to embrace you and make all things right! Decide today! May you receive strength today to live for God! This is Love Before And After Wedding

How To Be Romantic And Spiritual

How To Be Romantic And Spiritual

Reading Time: 2 minutes

How To Be Romantic And Spiritual. Being spiritual is one thing, being romantic is another. One should not take the place of the other in marriage. Both are essential, necessary, and needed for successful family life.

The Speaking
After speaking in tongues, make sure you speak to each other. This “speaking” is important and should be perpetual. Toasting should not end on the wedding day, in fact, it should just begin. Speaking the right words is needed for a great sexual experience, especially for the wife. It helps her to get ready!

On the other hand, singles should use the right words for each other, and align their souls rather than their bodies. The bodies are meant to come together after the wedding, not before.

What should come together before the wedding is the souls, in the place of beautiful conversation, healthy chats, romantic exchanges of words, making plans for the future, and envisioning the future together.

Speaking in tongues should not replace speaking loving words to each other. Both are very important. Speaking loving words to your lover should not replace speaking loving words to your creator.

Both are lovers. God is the lover of your soul, your dear one is the lover of your body! God loves you to speak loving words to Him. Your lover craves loving words to be spoken to him or her. After you have prayed, make sure you also play with your loved one!

There must be a balance of the romantic and the spiritual in order to keep your love life going and in order to make the relationship lead to marriage. This is How To Be Romantic And Spiritual

Speaking loving words to each other will keep false assumptions away. Speaking in tongues will keep demonic influence away.

Speaking loving, romantic words to each other adds strength to your love life. Speaking in tongues adds strength to your inner man.

With your love life, you fight doubt and insecurities. With your inner man, you fight and wade off attacks of the enemy.

That is why the scripture emphasizes that romance alone will not deliver.

Rom 14:17 (KJV)  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

That is, if you want to bring the kingdom of God into your relationship or marriage, it is not in meat and drinks alone, it is not in ice cream and cinema outings alone, it is also in right living, in Shalom, and in the Holy Spirit!

Do you get it? That he is handsome alone would not be enough, can he speak in tongues? That she has hot legs alone would not suffice, does she have a hot heart as well?

I will stop here this morning! This is How To Be Romantic And Spiritual

As we begin a new month, I pray for you, that God will bring a new beginning into your life.

I prophesy new beginnings in your relationships, marriage, home, family, finances, and career.

So shall it be for you in Jesus’ name!
 
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY

Lord, help me to balance my love life 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Rom 14:17 (MSG)  God’s kingdom isn’t a matter of what you put in your stomach, for goodness’ sake. It’s what God does with your life as he sets it right, puts it together, and completes it with joy.

Decide to be spiritual and romantic

This Is Why Your Love Life Took A Nap

This Is Why Your Love Life Took A Nap

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This Is Why Your Love Life Took A Nap. Marriage wine can often dry up, turn sour or simply lose taste. Relationships can lose the spark, the fun, and the glee! Love can wane, can grow old, and can fast dissipate. Feelings are fickle, never with a forever status. 

What do you do when love seems to wane when the tummy butterflies have all rested their wings, love birds have no more songs when words evoke no more feelings, and the blushing, the dimples, and the smiles have all gone?

 What do you do at such times? This is the subject of our discourse this morning.

You are in courtship and everything seems intense, but recently, you are no longer excited. You don’t even look forward to hearing from each other and yet you still have peace that you are in the right relationship.

You are married, and the marriage bed has gone cold. Sex used to be a trip but right now it is a complete bore. You could almost be reading a novel while you are at it.

And yet the Bible unequivocally advises that

Pro 5:19 (KJV)  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.

What happened? Here are a few things that could steal the wine from the marriage shelf, that could sap out and zap off every fun in the union.

This Is Why Your Love Life Took A Nap
1. When you allow pressures to stifle the pleasure
There will always be pressures, especially pressures from work. Wise husbands and wives learn to leave office pressures at the office and not bring them home.

For those in courtship, do not allow work pressures to swallow up fun communication times, times of bonding, and times of aligning the souls.

Decide to enjoy your courtship through vibrant communication and unhindered flow irrespective of the pressures that be

2. When you allow the hustles and bustles of life to steal your rest in God
Whether you like it or not, there will always be issues to deal with. You must have a commitment to each other in relationship or marriage to put each other first place after God.

3. When you refuse to spend quality time together
Love will wane when you don’t spend time with each other. Nothing will ever replace quality time spent together enriched with destiny discussions and plans for the future.

Those times of fellowship can never be replaced with any other thing For singles in courtship, this quality time must not be tainted with sex and other sexual sins.

With compromise, quality time will become dangerous time, bringing with it, damnation and guilt.

4. When you refuse to give yourself self-development and learn how to please each other
Bringing new wine into a relationship or marriage can be learned. Both parties must give attention to learning.

Study temperaments, weaknesses, and strengths. Learn how to minimize your weaknesses and maximize your strength

5. When you stop praying and the devil starts preying
When the wine finished at the wedding at Cana in Galilee, they had to enlist the help of Jesus. There is no doubt that the supernatural is needed in keeping the fire of the bedroom hot and in bringing fresh wine into relationships and marriages.

Keep your relationship and marriage established on the foundation of prayers!

That is how it is going to last! These are different reasons Why Your Love Life Took A Nap

May God grant more understanding in Jesus’ name

CONFESSION
I am refreshed in God

PRAYER
Lord, I ask for new wine in my relationship/marriage   

THOUGHT
Pro 5:19 (MSG)  Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose— don’t ever quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love for granted!

Invest time in your relationship/marriage

There’s No Going Along With The Crowd

There’s No Going Along With The Crowd

Reading Time: 3 minutes

There’s No Going Along With The Crowd. Our generation is beleaguered with so many pressures that believers are even compromising heavily, and yet the truth is that God will not lower or change his standard because of the peculiarity of our generation or the pressures of our environment. God’s word remains forever.

Look at the following verse:

Eph 4:17 KJV This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,’

The Spirit of God writing through Paul here says, as children of God, we cannot walk as the unbelievers walk. There has to be a distinguishing. We cannot be lumped together. Our light must shine in the midst of darkness. We must stand out. The life of God in us will not allow us to live carelessly.

Message translation says we cannot move with the crowd!

Eph 4:17 MSG And so I insist–and God backs me up on this–that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. There’s No Going Along With The Crowd!

You as a child of God cannot flow with the tide. Having done all, you’ve got to stand, unmoved, unshaken, and unyielding to the grip of iniquity.

Verse 20 says: Eph 4:20 KJV But ye have not so learned Christ;

That is not what we learn about Christ when we gave our life to Christ. At what point did we accommodate the devil’s antics into the programme of our lives?

At what point did we think that as a child of God, you can be dating three people at a time?

At what point did we start combining a life of fornication with a life of leading others in worship?

At what point did pastors think they can go free with sleeping with naive church members because they are anointed? That is not how we learned Christ! There’s No Going Along With The Crowd!

Eph 5:2 MSG Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

You’ve got to learn a life of love and not a life of lust. God did not love us in order to get something from us! The moment you say you are in love with a person and then you want something you can get, either money or sex, you have moved from love into lust. People ask me, how can I know whether he or she loves me? That is the answer right there!

Love wants to improve the other person’s life, not deplete it. If you are in a relationship with a person, and your Christian life goes down, watch it. God will not lead you into a relationship where all you have is the anguish of the soul, a life of iniquity, and a life full of lust. You cannot tell me you love a lady whom you have impregnated thrice and paid for abortions. That is not love!

Look at the next verse:

Eph 5:3 MSG Don’t allow love to turn into lust, setting off a downhill slide into sexual promiscuity, filthy practices, or bullying greed.

I will stop here this morning! Good morning! There’s No Going Along With The Crowd!

I am a love being. I love like God loves.

Two Indications That A Marriage Might Crash

Two Indications That A Marriage Might Crash

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Two Indications That A Marriage Might Crash. Our Marriages will not crash in Jesus’ name. However, there are indications or tendencies we should guard against.

These indications are sure signals that marriage will crash.

Two Indications That A Marriage Might Crash. What are they?

1. When the couple lives in deception
No marriage can be built on deception. Deception is a sandy, fragile, frail, and flaky foundation that would seem to hold a marriage for a while, but will give in, and crash eventually. 

Deception brings with it, false promises and this even becomes intense when both husband and wife are deceiving and lying to each other.

It is a matter of time before the loud crash is heard around and beyond. 

Pro 27:6 (KJV)  Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

It is even worse if the couple knows they are in deception, and they keep encouraging each other rather than seeking help.

2. When the couple lives in isolation
A couple that lives in isolation will die in desolation.

It is not a curse, it is a predictable end.

A couple that has nobody speaking into their lives is at risk.

There must be a place you are drawing from.

Who can you report your spouse to?

If there is nobody, something is not quite right. 

Who mentors your marriage?

Whose marriage models yours?

Find that person prayerfully and stop fighting alone.

There are battles you can fight for days in a marriage that could have been ended by wisdom in a few statements in the heart of someone around you.

Pro 25:12 (KJV)  As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

A wise reprover is likened to precious jewelry with which you adorn yourself and come out beautifully.

Do you want a beautiful marriage?

Do you desire a beautiful home?

Then my question is, “who is your wise reprover?”

If you have none, then prayerfully find one together and agree on being mentored.

May God give you more understanding! These are the Two Indications That A Marriage Might Crash

Be blessed!
