SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION OF HOLY ROSARY

Rosary can be viewed primarily as the summary of the New Testament.

The Our Father – part of the Rosary–is literally biblical (The Lord’s Prayer: Matt. 6:5-13) 

The first part of the “Hail Mary” corresponds to the Angel’s salutation at the Annunciation and that of Elizabeth the Visitation (Lk 1:28 and 2:42 respectively).

 The second half, “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death,” might be understood as follows: 

“Holy Mary” again corresponds to the biblical passage of the Annunciation (Lk 1:28: “full of grace”) “Mother of God” is the very meaning of the biblical annunciation even if the term as such was approved at Ephesus (431).

Luke 1:43 “And how does this happen to me, that the Mother of my Lord (Blessed Virgin Mary) should come to me?”

Pray for us: the intercession can be related to the Wedding Feast at Cana where Mary intercedes with her Son for the young couple in trouble. (John 2:5 “His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.)

Finally, the “Glory be to the Father” makes direct reference to the Trinity; Father, Son and Spirit and the praise due to them.

Look alike

Things That Look Like Love

 • Sex

 • Constant phone calls

 • Dependence/attention

 • Always going out together

 • Photos on social media

 • Gifts and money

What Love Really Is

 • Respect

 • Forgiveness

 • Trust

 • Commitment

 • Supporting each other

 • Shared goals

 • Growing together

 • Heartfelt conversations

 • Emotional and physical intimacy

If you have to keep telling a man the same thing about your feelings over and over, and nothing ever changes, understand that he doesn’t respect you. It’s not because he doesn’t hear you—it’s because he doesn’t want to hear you.

Try stopping the explanations and accept that this is simply how things will stay. How does that feel?

Six Leadership Principles that we can learn from an Eagle

Six Leadership Principles that we can learn from an Eagledm

It's

1. Eagles fly Alone and at High. Altitudes.

They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.

I'm Ixkeirx TNst where it belongs, in the past.

4. Eagles Love the Storm.

When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses thoe raging stornm to lift itself above the colouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to up and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the  byh and leaves of the tree.

Y

5. Eagles Prepare for Training;

They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies/ wwhen it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest./

MEANING; Leave your  hi ranches Zone, there is No Growth there. 

6. When the Eagle Grows Old,

His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. So he retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there, he plucks out the weak feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. Then he stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he comes out flying higher than before.

MEANING; We occasionally need to shed off old habit no matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no value to our lives should be let go of.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AHEAD ❤️👍

10 THINGS YOU MUST DISCUSS IN COURTSHIP

10 THINGS YOU MUST DISCUSS IN COURTSHIP

1. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE AFTER WEDDING? Compulsory! So the guy won't drag you back to his father's house or squat with a friend. Discuss the type of apartment: a room,  room and parlour,  a mini flat,  2 bedroom flat,  3 bedroom,  duplex,  complex,  whatever,  talk,  thoroughly. Don't forget to discuss how rent will be paid. If he has built his house and you are moving in,  excellent.

2. WILL YOU HAVE BABIES IMMEDIATELY OR YOU WILL WAIT? Discuss thoroughly. If you will wait,  find out the best family planning method that will suit your body. Not all injections and pills are suitable for you. Withdrawal is not advisable for first time sex on honeymoon likewise cond0m. First sex should be done with abandon and also get used to each other's bodies especially as virgins. Singles who are sexually active right now are digging their marital grave. If you are already having sex like mad and taking family planning pills as a single lady,  it is a big shame and a disgrace to womanhood. Marry with dignity. Save sex till your wedding night.

3. HOW WILL BILLS BE PAID?

Who will pay the rent,  take care of bills and groceries? Is it the man? The woman or both of you? At how many percentage if it is a joint responsibility? 50/50? 80/20? 60/40? Discuss.

4. WILL ANY FAMILY MEMBER LIVE WITH YOU AFTER WEDDING? Discuss. Who and who will live with you? Why? For how long?  Can you cope having a family live with you immediately after honey moon? Can your type of accommodation allow such? It is not advisable for the opposite sex sibling to live with you after honey moon in a room apartment. It is more dangerous if it is the wife's very mature younger sister. Use your head!

5. WILL YOUR WIFE WORK OR STAY AT HOME AS A FULL TIME HOUSE WIFE? Discuss. It is not good for anyone to stay idle. Eve was idle when the serpent came to deceive her!  Many local gossips and over talkative,  quarrelsome women are idle. If she can't go to work,  she can do business from home and make some money for herself.

6. WHAT IS YOUR VISION? This should be the number one on the list. Very important. If she wants to be a world renowned neuro surgeon and you want her to assist you in your full time ministry. You are looking for serious trouble. Your vision should tally. Don't make the same mistake some great men of God made, talk!

7. WHAT ARE YOUR YEARLY GOALS? You should set goals every year and work towards achieving them. What are your yearly goals for the next five years? Discuss.

8. HOW MANY PERCENTAGE OF YOUR INCOME WILL YOU SAVE MONTHLY AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE? Talk!

9. WHICH CHURCH WILL YOU BE ATTENDING AFTER WEDDING? The guy's church,  yours or another denomination entirely? Thoroughly discuss and come to an agreement.

10. WHO ARE YOU? Empty yourself. Your family background,  past mistakes,  bodily defects,  etc so somebody won't die of shock in marriage when certain revelations begin to swim in in torrents. Many never recover from the shock! Some divorce from honey moon and never reconnect for life!

So,  there you go! 

There are more important things to discuss but these are the major ones time permit me to share.

Addicted to masturbation

I struggled with addiction to m@$turbuti*n for eight(8) years and here are 10 things I've learned from such experience: 🥹👇

1.  True freedom is not a wish, but a contention. You don't beg for freedom you fight for it.

2. The biggest enemy of productivity is addiction. You will keep beating around same cycle every year💔😞

3. Daily routines are underrated. Addiction is closely tied to how you spend your day.

4. The biggest enemy of freedom is fear. You can’t fight what you’re still afraid of.

5. M@$turbation is just a symptom. The root cause is a wrong mindset.

6. Guilt is not an advantage. That you’re feeling remorse does not qualify for your deliverance.

7. Addiction has a lot to do with your mood. Watch when you’re happy, sad or angry. These moments often trigger the cycle.

8. The thin line between slavery and freedom is knowledge. What you know and believe matters a lot. 

9. Consistency is overrated. Being more intentional gives you higher chances of victory than just consistency.

10. Healing is Possible but Most times your healing comes in disguise. 😕

To everyone desiring freedom from this slave master called addiction, may the lord heal you!!🙏🥺

You’ll win!💪

6 MATES YOU MUST MARRY!

MARRY YOUR MATE 

6 MATES YOU MUST MARRY!

 

One of the ways your marriage will not add to the rate of divorce in our world today is for you to marry your mate and if you are married already, make your spouse your mate!

You see that statement of ' Am I your mate?' does not apply in marriage. You must marry your mate. I will like to talk on seven dimensions you and the person you want to marry or you have married must be mate.

1. #MARRY_YOUR_SPEAKING_MATE: Marry someone you can speak together and understand each other. Communication is very crucial in marriage. Don't marry someone that, when you are saying 'A' he or she will be saying ' Z' Once their is dichotomy in your speaking and understanding level, you can't enjoy that marriage. So many men go to bar to hang out with friends and gist till 11pm because they know their wives can't engage in any meaningful intellectual discussion. So many women too prefer to hang out with their friends, because they know their husbands mentality when it comes to vital issues and discussions is very low. Marry your speaking Mate.

2. #MARRY_YOUR_SCHOOL_MATE: 

By this I mean, marry someone you can learn together and improve together. Don't marry ' Mr Know all' or 'Miss Know all'. Don't marry someone who is rigid and not open to new ideas, new ways of doing things, or new innovations. Marriage is a great institution. From day one till death do you part, you will keep learning. Marry your 'school' mate; someone who is ready to learn with you.

3. #MARRY_YOUR_SPIRITUAL_MATE: Marriage is not just a social union. It is also a spiritual union. Marry someone who knows the same God you know. Don't marry someone who's believe of God is different from yours. Two can't work together except they be agreed ( Amos 3:3, Joshua 23: 11-15, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18). The spiritual controls the physical, even in marriage. Check for spiritual compatibility in that person you want to marry.

4. #MARRY_YOUR_SPENDING_MATE: Don't marry someone who is stingy. There are so many expenses to cater for in marriage. A stingy guy in courtship won't suddenly become a generous husband in marriage. Don't marry a lady that has the financial philosophy of ' My husband's money is our money, but my money is my money'. Marry someone who believes in dignity of labour , who is ready to work, not a lazy fellow who just want to be a consumer and not a contributor. Marry someone who is ready to spend and be spent for the growth and success of the family.

5. #MARRY_YOUR_SEX_MATE: Marry someone you have sexual feelings for. Sexual feeling is not a sin. It is an instinct God put in every person. Sex plays a major role in the success of any marriage. Any man you don't have emotional feelings for, don't marry the person. If you don't have emotional feelings for that lady, leave her alone. A spiritual being is also a sexual being. No matter how spiritual you both may be in your marriage, you won't be praying for 24 hours in a day. You won't be reading the Bible or worshipping God 24/7. You will have sex! You will romance! You will flirt with each other! You will make babies. So, marry someone you can connect with sexually. It will help you to enjoy your marriage so much!

6. #MARRY_YOUR_SOCIAL_MATE: Don't marry someone you won't be proud to go out with. Don't marry someone you will be feeling shy to introduce to people with boldness. Marry someone you are comfortable to hang out with. Marry someone you are socially compatible with. Don't marry an anti- social person.

You might be wondering if your can find all the 'mates' in one person. Yes! The answer is YES! You don't need to marry 6 guys/ladies to have all these mates. One person can be all that for you. If you also work on yourself and build your life, you can be all that for the guy/lady that will marry you.

The promise of God for you is this : 'Seek and read from the book of the LORD: Not one of these shall be missing; none shall be without her mate. For the mouth of the LORD has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.' (Isaiah 34:16).

Say it loud and clear 'I shall not lack a mate!'

I hope this blessed someone reading?
