```BELOVED,READ AND GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER:

 A widow mom leaves her house and goes to fetch water, leaving her only child asleep. On her return, she found a large crowd around her burning house. On the inside, her son is about to die in the fire. Throwing her bowl of water on the floor, and crying, she wants to get into the burning house to look for her son. Everyone keeps saying, "You're going to die too, fire is very great." Escaping from their hands, she enters the fire and wrapped her son in a blanket. The child, tight against her breast, is not touched by the fire. Mummy comes out severely burnt and is only narrowly saved; thanks to the care of the hospital, but she lives with scars and unrecognizable. Many years passed. The child, under the guidance of his mother, completed his studies and was appointed minister. He organized a party at his villa on his appointment, and invited all the dignitaries of the city and his friends. While they were in full party, noises were heard at the door of the entrance to the villa. The son was forced to go and resolve the situation. He found that the security officers were preventing his mother from joining the party. He had not invited her but she also wanted to join the party. Faced with this situation in front of his guests, he said tenderly to his mother: "Please, Mom, I would be ashamed to have you appear before my friends. We can discuss later. " And in secret, he ordered the security services to throw out his mother because of her scars ... What inspires you in this story? This woman represents Jesus Christ who sacrificed himself for you and I. Today, what place do you give him in your life It is He who has received the scars because of you and me. If you are ashamed of Him, keep this message and don't send it to anyone. If you are not ashamed of the scars of Jesus Christ, if you have received Him as your Lord and Savior in your heart, convey this message to many persons. Jesus Christ tells us in Mark 8, 38: "... For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the Holy angels. "
Have a nice day

I SHOULD NOT HAVE LIED

 A Man who has always asked me for help called this morning, asking if I was at home.
I said NO (I lied). He asked if he could wait. Again I said No, that he should go, I will call him when am back home.
"I don't have money today abeg" I murmured to myself after dropping the call.
As I stepped out of the house much later, I was shocked to see him asleep on the bench beside my house waiting for me.
I felt sad with a rush of guilt.
I walked towards him, making up my mind to give him 1k out of the 3k cash I had with me.
He was so happy to see me when I tapped him awake.
"Are you just coming, I didn't know when i slept off"? He asked and I said yes. I had to lie again! Before I could bring out the 1k, with so much excitement he brought out the sum of TEN THOUSAND NAIRA (10k) and said to me:
"It is for you. You've been so kind to me during this lockdown. I know it's small for you but just buy anything you want with it. He said confidently.
I was so pleasantly dazed.
God has again transformed another life!.
LESSON
1) Many of those we see/treat as 'beggers' are probably more generous and much kinder than us the self acclaimed Philanthropists (who else will doze off while waiting to dash out Money).
2) It is not everytime people call that they nvvvgtvmmeed your help, they can also call to Bless you when God change their lives.
Be nice to people nobody knows tomorrow

BE POSITIVE

By Dr Okwechi
As much as it is important to learn from past mistakes, don't dwell on the mistakes.
Say kind and positive uplifting words to your partner.
Constantly pointing out the weaknesses in your partner and keeping records of all that they did wrong in days past can lead to low self esteem and cause strain in the marital relationship. Forgiveness means to cancel punishment of your partner for offending you by erasing the offense from your memory and personally accepting the price of reconciliation.
Therefore erase every memory of offense your partner has committed against you and has been forgiven for the marriage to be healthy.

Bitter Truth that stabilized Marriage


Strongest Love like Christ's love for His Church (Bride) is kind of Love that can hold Marriage from scattering.
This Love is similar to Godly Mother's Love for her children to standup for their Good Success at all cost through Christ.
Likewise, No Love had never conquered marital manipulations than Wife's unconditional submission in love for her Husband that tear down Gates of hell militating against her Home.
Man wasn't born with this inborn ability but usually ignited or stirred in every Godly woman as part of inborn compassionate heart for better marital suitability. Even devil knew this marital truth as reason he's always against True Love and Submission in every Marriage.
Sometimes, good Wife need to give herself only One good reason, if difficult to find more as why her Marriage must be stable as her possible justification, though devil will manipulate such good reasoning unless she is meek enough to submit without fear of unknown.
Dear Wife, you must avoid unnecessary silence, nagging, grumbling, crying, murmuring and complaints as your style to deal with marital issues which normally leads to health complications than solving marital Issues at hand.
Wives must learn to find right time to pray and handover difficult husband's heart to the Lord before humbly communicating ovrr marital issues while she must allows Holy Spirit through long patience to handle the rest in His own ways without intrusion.
All wives need sound and good health found in allowing peace at home, if she must reap good rewards from years of her labour of love in Marriage. I have been married and faced with years of challenges to confirm the clear difference that walking in Marital Truth works tremendously to produce good results though it demands wifely understanding in long patience and daily submission as our uncompromising role whether husband is deserving or not is not an excuse but only our choice as the Wife.
Even, God can't overrule marital choice as a Wife to stay or not in every Marriage since it's her choice of "Yes I do" from marital beginning as the bitter truth that can't be over emphasized.
I pray that every Marriage undergoing hard times shall receive Godly Understanding with strength to obey accordingly as necessary steps to fight good fight of faith for Marital Victory in Jesus mighty name.

*RIGHT RESPONSES TO MARITAL STORM AND WEARINESS FACED BY GODLY SPOUSES.*


Marriage is always a threat to the enemy of our Soul since the time from Garden of Eden because of evil-jealousy of being created as God's image and likeness.
Marital moments that you wonder at your spouse to think _“Am I sure to have made right choice when I married her/him?”_ . There are times when separation or divorce cross your mind as the only option out of present marital challenges. Many instances of Emotional and Financial betrayal/offenses/abuses beyond your tolerance. Please remember Christ do forgive us all when we are yet sinners, thereby Marriage is all about forgiveness as priority.
Marriage is not without times of demand for strong but healthy compromises, misunderstanding and misinterpreting of spouse's intentions because both spouses are humans that can made mistakes.
Marital Emotional hurtful times when you feel that your love and marital understanding is being taken for granted. Remember, You are not alone with this marital burden. The truth is that every marriage has its fair share of pains and trial moments. Every marriage goes through rough times and none is immune to life challenges though differs in perspectives.
Every Spouses in respective of gender experiences some scaring and perplexing moments over Family responsibilities, sickness, joblessness, Child delay, Spiritual attacks and Emotional battles.
Marital understanding in realizing that difficult seasons are temporary moments that will surely pass as it comes leaving the glory of God as our testimony. Straight roads don’t make experienced drivers but rough roads is the determinants.
Always remember it's the rough surfaces that sharpen the best. Rough Marital times are meant to build your marriage, not destroy it, if only spouses learn to respond wisely with the Truth that lasts not with human intelligent that's unstable.
Victory in Marriage is sure as long as Spouses continue to rest in God's promises for their home than what the marital daily circumstances is showing or dictating.
Hold on to your Marital Faith and Trust in Christ because faithful is He that called us all and still able to do it more than our wildest imagination or expectations !
I decree that the peace amd grace of God that's beyond human understanding will continue to uphold our homes to the end in Jesus mighty name.
