DON'T MARRY A MAN IF YOU CAN'T CARRY THE BURDEN OF HIS DESTINY. A lot of ladies don't know this. A greater proportion of women want to marry great men, celebrities, authorities, maybe because of money, but question is, Can you pay the price in marriage? I have come to the understanding that so many great people hardly have time for their family, can you cope?A lot of ladies would love to have been the wife to a great man like Bishop Oyedepo, but do you know he hardly sleeps? He hardly has time for his wife? But there's excess of money. What of his attention?
A lot of ladies get to discover that money isn't everything, when it's already late. A man who is globally relevant might not give you all the attention you need, what will keep you in those times is the love and passion you have for his vision and mandate and that brings me to this point: Marry a man whose vision you can carry.
Getting married to very great people isn't beans. Ask their wives. Being a people's person isn't easy. Many celebrities don't spend up to three months in a year with their families. Can you cope with that time because money can't solve that one? Will you be able to cope when he'll have to be away for eight months and as he's getting back, he has another trip for a year, and all that kind of serial engagements?
Even Van Vicker, famous actor confessed he barely has up to two months with his wife in a year. Many girls would wish to have married Van, but how many can understand when he'll have to stay away for long because of his dreams and purpose?
Personally, I have a mandate to reach out to 2 billion people before I die, to impact and influence a minimum of that amount before I breathe my last breath. God keeps using people to warn me that I have to be careful when it comes to choosing a life partner. Because a mistake there will ruin my purpose. A man might be vision minded, passionate, ambitious, and rich and handsome and you wish to marry him but truth is, You can't bear the burden of his mandate. You can't endure it. Do you know what the wives of pastors endure? Do you know what the wives of great icons endure? It's not by fantasizing about love from morning till night. If you're thinking of marrying a great man, be ready to pay a great task in marriage. Myles Monroe when alive got over 800 invitations to speak in a year, How did he cope? How do you think his wife coped? It was because she was strong enough to bear the burden of her husband's purpose.
It doesn't end at marrying a man with a vision. You must understand that as time goes, that vision will explode and he might not have so
much time for you, you need to understand and adjust. This is also why a lot of celebrities have issues with marriage. I'm not saying celebrities shouldn't have time for their family in the name of their vision but believe me no matter how much they spare, it can't be much like an average man. Some of them hardly sleep sef!!!
No matter how great I become, I'll always have time to be with my wife and family but I doubt it'll be every now and then. I wish it would be but with my life's purpose, it might be tough. Can you manage a man's greatness? Money won't change anything. Some ladies think when there's money, marriage is better. Lol.
Money sure helps but a lot women that married rich and great men wants to divorce because they can't cope with the burden of his purpose.
REMEMBER .YOU ARE A WOMAN.... WOMB MAN...... can your WOMB carry his destiny.........?
Can you MAN her purpose on earth.......? Marry the person whose burden of purpose, you can carry.WISE AND INSIGHTFUL BY THE WORD :And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15).The Word of God gives you wisdom; uncommon insight; a clear, deep, and sudden understanding, perception, and penetration of a situation, subject, or mystery. When you meditatively study the Word, over time, you become highly insightful. Your ability and intelligence increase, and God can trust you with much more, because you’re wiser. It’s what the Word of God can do for you: it causes you to deal wisely in all your affairs. The Hebrew word is “sakal,” which parallels the Greek word “suniemi.” It means to become penetratingly discerning, perspicacious and sound. As you study and meditate on the Word, your mind is anointed and elevated to think from God’s perspective. The Spirit of God guides you to know what to choose, where to go, and the right steps to take in fulfilling your destiny in Christ! The Word in you produces wisdom to deal excellently in your business, finances, academics, family, ministry, etc. Those who ignore the Word function with worldly wisdom, and as a result are whipped in life. They make bad decisions that make their lives go in the wrong direction, which leads to suffering.Give the Word utmost attention in your life, for therein is the wisdom you need for a life of excellence and ever-increasing glory. Hallelujah *PRAYER* *Dear Father, my heart is forever open to receive your engrafted Word with meekness, faith and gladness, to produce in me extraordinary amplitude of comprehension. I make the right decisions always, and my steps are ordered in line with your perfect will and destiny for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.**FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Proverbs 4:5-7* Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.Colossians 3:16* Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. *||**Joshua 1:8 AMP* This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it.

*THEME: SUFFICIENT IN GOD*_2 CORINTHIANS 3:5 (KJV)_**"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God."*
The field of economics asserts that the needs of man cannot be fully satiated because of limited resources. The natural man always has needs due to the changing conditions in the systems of the world, however not all their needs can be satisfied by earthly pleasures. This principle may be functional in many economies of the world, but pertaining to the children of God this principle cannot be applicable.The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof (1 Corinthians 10:26); the Lord is the source and possessor of everything you could ever name on earth. As His child you are the rightful heir of all that belongs to Him; this explains why you cannot be disadvantaged or be needy. The Kingdom of God is characterized with abundance. Whenever Jesus applied the Heavenly principle to satisfy the needs of the people, there was always much surplus, because there is much abundance in God's Kingdom. Jesus admonished that all must "seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you". Once you are awakened to this glorious living in the Kingdom of God, your anxieties would cease. You are in a Kingdom where God provides exceedingly abundantly above all your expectations. When the people of this world say there is a casting down, we say there is a rising up, because in God we are always sufficient. Enjoy the Lord in fellowship, in Him you have all you need. *DECLARATION:* I am a citizen of the Kingdom of God, hence I enjoy greater blessing in every facet of my living. I am not anxious for anything, because my needs are satisfied exceedingly abundantly above all that I could ask or think, according to the power that works in me. My mind is fixed on the Lord, because in Him I am always sufficient. Glory to the Lord Jesus!*FURTHER STUDY*Ephesians3:20 ,Philippians 4:13,19
Two fishes
The younger fish darted toward it with an open mouth. The older fish cried out, “Stop"!🏽
"You can’t see it, but there is a hook inside that meat. It is connected by an invisible line to a pole outside the water. There is a man holding the pole""THE *TRUTH* is, if you eat the meat, the hook will catch in your jaw and the man will pull you out of the water. He will cut you open with a knife, roast you on a fire and eat you. Then he will throw your remains to his cat.”The young fish stopped. The two swam away. But when the young fish was alone, he thought to himself,“Let me investigate the *truth* myself how accurate these lousy claims are"He went back to the meat, swam around it, above and below it. He swam as far as he could in widening circles around the meat.After a long search, he said to himself, “I’ve looked far and wide, and *I haven’t found any sign of a man, a pole, a knife, a fire or a cat.* In fact, I’ve found nothing outside this water we live in" I have come to realise my *truth"These must just be stories made up to limit our freedoms".He went back to the meat and ate it.The hook caught in his jaw, he felt himself being yanked out of the water. For sure *He saw a pole, a man and a knife, and a little further, he saw the man's cat sleeping in a shade,* but at that point his knowledge of *the TRUTH* was useless*MORAL OF THE STORY*It is exactly the story of the Great Gospel and Mysteries of the Bible.*Some of them are beyond our comprehension. We now don't see Satan, Angels, Jesus or His judgement seat, no, we don't see the eternal fire of hell at all, but of course we will realize all along that it was *THE TRUTH* vs our truth, and that will be only when death eventually strikes. But Alas! *Too late forever.May God let us heed to the *TRUTH* while it is useful to us. Amen. JESUS said, *"I AM the way, the TRUTH and the life* Nobody goes to the Father without me.*Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book* - Revelation 22:7

A Generation of Young Christians:
_1. We are always right and we never *accept correction*. A corrector is seen as an enemy._*2.* We love to sing in Church, but *do not read our Bible* at home.*3.* We are full of *lust, sensuality and emotions* and we call it love.*4.* We want to have wonderful marriages, but by the time we are 25 years we've already spent almost ten years in relationships. Sometimes, we may have had *more* boy lovers and girl lovers than even our parents.*5.* Sexual activities are *now part of our relationships* calling it romance.*6.* We want to be rich in life, meanwhile, we *spend all our finances on the latest ipads, iphone, laptops, cameras, smartphones, etc,* which in many cases we uses less than 30% of their functions.*7.* We do not pay our *tithes and offerings* claiming we are students.*8.* We say we are Christian men & women but *dress like hollywood stars* and we call it fashion.*9.* We love *pleasures* rather than God.*10.* In Church you will see us with our hands lifted up singing slow songs which we call worship but *on our phones in our pockets,* you will see pics of naked and half naked women, hip hop, Antichrist, etc and we have a nice way of justifying it.11. We are hardly convicted when we go to Church because *our hearts have been hardened* by the deceitfulness of sin and pride.But God foresaw these and warned us in 2 Timothy 3 That *In the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.We need to change our ways, we have *no excuse on judgement day.* You can forward if u want to. But I know u wouldn't because is not funny. _share Jesus today to save yourself and the world at Large.BIBLICAL TRUTH.Be Inspired! "IDENTIFIED WITH HIS NAME :Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14).The Name of Jesus is the greatest name ever revealed to man; it’s the most powerful name, not only in the world, but in the entire universe: that’s the name by which God created all things. God has vested all authority in that wonderful and matchless Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:9 says,“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.”When you confessed the lordship of Jesus over your life, you were baptised into the Name of Jesus; and you automatically became a part of that Name. Galatians 3:27 says, _*“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”*_ You should be glad to be identified with that Name. It means whatever belongs to Jesus belongs to you! Satan has no claims over you anymore; you belong to Jesus Christ, and the Name of Jesus is named upon you. We live in His Name; we pray in His Name. Colossians 3:17 says, _*“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”*_ That’s the way to live a supernatural life. You function and live in the Name of Jesus. That means you’re living for Him, in His authority. Can you see why it’s practically out of place to live in defeat, failure or poverty? We’re called to live in the Name of Jesus; in the Name of the creator of the world. I can’t consider or conceive of anything more sublime or transcendent! It’s a wonderful Name; an excellent Name—the matchless Name of Jesus Christ. If you have a tumour in your body, say, “Tumour, in the Name of Jesus, you can’t stay in this body; I command you to die and pass out of my body!” And it’ll go. If you have a problem with your heart, use the Name of Jesus as an instrument against that infirmity. Say, “Heart, I command you to function normally, in the Name of Jesus,” and there’ll be a change.Whatever situation confronts you is subject to the Name of Jesus Christ. Declare for yourself: “In the Name of Jesus, I’m growing in grace; I’m excellent; sound and healthy; strong and vibrant!” Take advantage of that Name and bring calmness, peace, tranquillity and prosperity into your life and that of your loved ones. I’m glad to be associated with the most sublime, powerful and most excellent Name that exists. I take advantage of the Name of Jesus, and live by the power and authority of that Name. I speak peace, progress, health, prosperity and victory, into my life and that of my loved ones, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*FURTHER STUDY:*Acts 4:12* Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Philippians 2:9-10* Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; *John 20:31* But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."LOOK FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS": “We have this treasure in earthen vessels.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 .ONE OF the worst arguments recorded in Scripture took place between one of the most successful ministry teams of all time—Paul and Barnabas. What was it about? John Mark. Barnabas wanted to take him on their next missionary journey and Paul didn’t. Why? Because Paul was upset with John Mark for wanting to take time off to be with his family. (Sometimes passionate, purpose-driven people don’t see things clearly!) But after consideration, Paul changed his mind and wrote: “Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world…Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry” (2 Timothy 4:10-11). There are three important lessons here: (1) Everyone deserves another chance. After all, that’s what God repeatedly does for you. Now, in extending grace you can get hurt and disappointed, but if you’re going to be Christlike it’s a risk you must take. (2) Not everyone has the same calling. The person you’re upset with may not be called to do what you’re called to do, or they may have been called to do it in a different way. Never make your personal preferences a condition for loving, accepting, and working with someone. (3) Look for the best in others, not the worst. The Bible says, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels.” That means everyone you deal with has “treasure,” but it comes in a flawed “earthen vessel.” It also means it’s your responsibility to look for that treasure and value it. Generally speaking, when people feel appreciated they try to rise and meet your expectations. A United Front :Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke-21:36.The angels look with intense interest upon every family, to see how the children are treated by parents, guardians, or friends. What strange mismanagement they witness in a family where father and mother are at variance! The tones of the voice of father and mother, their looks, their words--all make it manifest that they are not united in the management of their children. The father casts reflections upon the mother and leads the children to hold in disrespect the mother's tenderness and affection for the little ones. The mother thinks she is compelled to give large affection to the children, to gratify and indulge them, because she thinks the father is harsh and impatient and she must work to counteract the influence of his severity. Much Prayer, Sober Reflection Needed.--Affection cannot be lasting, even in the home circle, unless there is a conformity of the will and disposition to the will of God. All the faculties and passions are to be brought into harmony with the attributes of Jesus Christ. If the father and mother in the love and fear of God unite their interests to have authority in the home, they will see the necessity of much prayer, much sober reflection. And as they seek God, their eyes will be opened to see heavenly messengers present to protect them in answer to the prayer of faith. They will overcome the weaknesses of their character and go on unto perfection. Hearts to Be Bound by the Silken Cord of Love.--Father and mother, bind your hearts in closest, happiest union. Do not grow apart, but bind yourselves more closely to each other; then you are prepared to bind your children's hearts to you by the silken cord of love. The mother needs constant sympathy and help from the father of her children. The parents must be perfectly united in their work, and must seek help from God. While keenly alive to their sacred responsibilities, they should not become distrustful because they see that their work is imperfect, and does not secure the results they hoped for. Keep sowing the seed for time and eternity. All heaven is watching the efforts of the Christian parent.

"IDENTIFIED WITH HIS NAME :Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14).The Name of Jesus is the greatest name ever revealed to man; it’s the most powerful name, not only in the world, but in the entire universe: that’s the name by which God created all things. God has vested all authority in that wonderful and matchless Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:9 says,“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.”When you confessed the lordship of Jesus over your life, you were baptised into the Name of Jesus; and you automatically became a part of that Name. Galatians 3:27 says, _*“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”*_ You should be glad to be identified with that Name. It means whatever belongs to Jesus belongs to you! Satan has no claims over you anymore; you belong to Jesus Christ, and the Name of Jesus is named upon you. We live in His Name; we pray in His Name. Colossians 3:17 says, _*“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”*_ That’s the way to live a supernatural life. You function and live in the Name of Jesus. That means you’re living for Him, in His authority. Can you see why it’s practically out of place to live in defeat, failure or poverty? We’re called to live in the Name of Jesus; in the Name of the creator of the world. I can’t consider or conceive of anything more sublime or transcendent! It’s a wonderful Name; an excellent Name—the matchless Name of Jesus Christ. If you have a tumour in your body, say, “Tumour, in the Name of Jesus, you can’t stay in this body; I command you to die and pass out of my body!” And it’ll go. If you have a problem with your heart, use the Name of Jesus as an instrument against that infirmity. Say, “Heart, I command you to function normally, in the Name of Jesus,” and there’ll be a change.Whatever situation confronts you is subject to the Name of Jesus Christ. Declare for yourself: “In the Name of Jesus, I’m growing in grace; I’m excellent; sound and healthy; strong and vibrant!” Take advantage of that Name and bring calmness, peace, tranquillity and prosperity into your life and that of your loved ones. I’m glad to be associated with the most sublime, powerful and most excellent Name that exists. I take advantage of the Name of Jesus, and live by the power and authority of that Name. I speak peace, progress, health, prosperity and victory, into my life and that of my loved ones, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*FURTHER STUDY:*Acts 4:12* Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Philippians 2:9-10* Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; *John 20:31* But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."LOOK FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS": “We have this treasure in earthen vessels.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 .ONE OF the worst arguments recorded in Scripture took place between one of the most successful ministry teams of all time—Paul and Barnabas. What was it about? John Mark. Barnabas wanted to take him on their next missionary journey and Paul didn’t. Why? Because Paul was upset with John Mark for wanting to take time off to be with his family. (Sometimes passionate, purpose-driven people don’t see things clearly!) But after consideration, Paul changed his mind and wrote: “Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world…Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry” (2 Timothy 4:10-11). There are three important lessons here: (1) Everyone deserves another chance. After all, that’s what God repeatedly does for you. Now, in extending grace you can get hurt and disappointed, but if you’re going to be Christlike it’s a risk you must take. (2) Not everyone has the same calling. The person you’re upset with may not be called to do what you’re called to do, or they may have been called to do it in a different way. Never make your personal preferences a condition for loving, accepting, and working with someone. (3) Look for the best in others, not the worst. The Bible says, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels.” That means everyone you deal with has “treasure,” but it comes in a flawed “earthen vessel.” It also means it’s your responsibility to look for that treasure and value it. Generally speaking, when people feel appreciated they try to rise and meet your expectations. A United Front :Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke-21:36.The angels look with intense interest upon every family, to see how the children are treated by parents, guardians, or friends. What strange mismanagement they witness in a family where father and mother are at variance! The tones of the voice of father and mother, their looks, their words--all make it manifest that they are not united in the management of their children. The father casts reflections upon the mother and leads the children to hold in disrespect the mother's tenderness and affection for the little ones. The mother thinks she is compelled to give large affection to the children, to gratify and indulge them, because she thinks the father is harsh and impatient and she must work to counteract the influence of his severity. Much Prayer, Sober Reflection Needed.--Affection cannot be lasting, even in the home circle, unless there is a conformity of the will and disposition to the will of God. All the faculties and passions are to be brought into harmony with the attributes of Jesus Christ. If the father and mother in the love and fear of God unite their interests to have authority in the home, they will see the necessity of much prayer, much sober reflection. And as they seek God, their eyes will be opened to see heavenly messengers present to protect them in answer to the prayer of faith. They will overcome the weaknesses of their character and go on unto perfection. Hearts to Be Bound by the Silken Cord of Love.--Father and mother, bind your hearts in closest, happiest union. Do not grow apart, but bind yourselves more closely to each other; then you are prepared to bind your children's hearts to you by the silken cord of love. The mother needs constant sympathy and help from the father of her children. The parents must be perfectly united in their work, and must seek help from God. While keenly alive to their sacred responsibilities, they should not become distrustful because they see that their work is imperfect, and does not secure the results they hoped for. Keep sowing the seed for time and eternity. All heaven is watching the efforts of the Christian parent.
