On your way to the promised land are many jebutites, liarlites, thievites, betrayalites, backbiterlites, envylites, jealousites, parasites, unbelieverlites, doubterlites but only determination will take you there.

I believe love is the most misunderstood concept in the world. You can buy your wife the most expensive house and car and still have a horrible marriage. A lot of people have beautiful houses but they cant live in them because they spend more money and time on building a house than they spend on building their relationship.

The Bible talks about three different kinds of peace. Let’s look at them: 1) Peace with others. ‘As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone’ (Romans 12:18 NIV 2011 Edition). This is external peace, and it’s necessary for human relationships to flourish. 2) Peace with yourself. ‘Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts’ (Colossians 3:15 NIV 2011 Edition). This is internal peace, a rest of mind and soul that escapes most of us. 3) Peace with God. ‘Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ’ (Romans 5:1 NIV 2011 Edition). This is eternal peace, and it comes from knowing you’ve a right relationship with God. So here’s how it works: when you’re at peace with God you’ll be at peace with yourself, and when you’re at peace with yourself you’ll be at peace with others. That, in a nutshell, is The Process of Peace

Men....do you have a plan for your business? Tell your wife, be honest. If you lock her out of your plan, she will become malfunction.

Ladies ....a man does not want peace at home; he needs it. Home is supposed to be a refuge for a man; a hiding place, a cave to hide in, a place he can be away from the world that worked hard on him. You need to go home and study your home and see if it is a place someone can come into. How does it look physically? How does it look psychologically? How does it look emotionally? Study your home. Is it a place a man would love to stay and hide from the world?

Most peoples car last longer than their marriage. WHY? For instance in Germany, the government made it as a law that before you are qualified to drive a car, you will go to a driving school, learn the theory and practical before getting a license to drive. Same is applicable to your car, it must go to service and maintenance every two years if it is a new one to check if the car is still road worthy. If your car is above five years old then it must go to service every year. So this makes the car last longer. For you to get a driving licence in germany it takes months but for you to take a marriage certificate in Germany it doesnt take two hours. Once you go on the vail, they give you licence which means that they are more concerned about your car on their street than they are about your life in their communities.A lot of people doesnt go to any driving lessons on marriages. So they end up knowing how to drive a car but not learning how to live with someone.

In a marriage, it is not about how who made the money, it is about how it is distributed.

Ladies, a man doesnt want respect, he needs it. A man does not need love. There is no where it is written that a man needs love. They simply needs respect. A man interprets respect as love.When a woman tells a man that she loves him, it doesnt mean anything to him, but when a man knows you respects him, that means a whole lot to him.

Choosing a life partner for marriage should not be taken without a careful and prayerful consideration, if you want to be and remain happy in it.. You cant just jump into it.

There is nowhere in the scripture that God commanded Thou shall be married. You dont have to be married to be happy. You dont have to be married in order to be complete. God didnt create you half, He made you whole, you can only make a good home only when you are complete than when you are half. Stop praying for your second half, pray for wholeness.

God can do all this but one thing He cannot do is choosing your mate,, because He is too smart to choose your mate for you. God knows that if He choose your mate and it didnt work out, you will blame him so He gives you the complete responsibility to choose your mate. That is why the Bible says he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtaineth favour from God. You have to find your mate by yourself. It is also not the responsibility of your parents. But God does help you thats why he gave you a brain with five million cells. He gives you tge holy spirit to guide you, He gave you his words to regulate your decisions, He gave you your Pastors to give you the counsels, He gave you parents, He gave you sense and He gave you his own anointing to discern spirits.You meet a terrible marriage once you ignore any of these equipment before marriage.

Anything that is wrong in your life is right because if there is no wrong there you can´t find right.

I have all gifts on earth minus one....Patience to do what the devil wants me to do. My bible taught me a lot about taking some things in my life by force. People do tell me sometimes take it easy, God didn´t tell me to take things easy, He says take Charge. Some people do tell me to be careful! But my bible didn´t tell me to be careful but it says I should be careful for nothing. Some people tell me to take time but my bibles says take charge. Some people says be patient but my bible says whatever your hands finds to do, do it quickly.So don´t only memorise your weakness, try to saturate your strength with the power of God, always have an alternative for any negative suggestion.

Before you try to be like anyone else, find out if you are your true self, because if you try to be like anyone else including me, that means you do not know who you are. Selah! The day yourself will rise, the people that you want to be like will not be there.

Success not maintained is worst than Poverty inheritted. Riches without maintenance is worst than inheritted Poverty.

God didn´t bless me so I can backslide, He didn´t give me a status so that I can become a statue.

The strength of your growth depends on your leader. If the person you are taking counsel from is weaker than you, you are on your way down.

How to know what God says is the time you took the decision. How to know what God says is what situation and condition was the state of your mind when you took the decision.Any decision you took when you were angry is definitely not the voice of God.

On your way to the promised land are many circumstances, only determination will take you there.

If your situation is too tough, don´t go back, go forward. You die quicker when you go backward. Die later when you go forward.
