Before You Lay In Your Casket...

"The greatest tragedy in life is not death; but a life without purpose" 
- Myles Munroe


‘…this one thing I do…’ Philippians 3:13

Ask yourself two questions. First, do I want God’s best? It’s not easy to rise up early while others sleep, and prepare for the challenge. Like Jesus in Gethsemane, you’ll discover it’s hard to find people who will stand with you while you are in preparation. But there can be no celebration without preparation. Not everybody can handle success. Some would rather have tranquility; they don’t like criticism and they can’t take pressure. But if you want God’s best you can have it. If you’ve got the passion, the price won’t stop you! You’ll be drawn and driven towards the goal. Second, ask yourself: how strong is my desire? If you don’t have the passion for it, you’ll never overcome the obstacles. Real power comes from desire kindled in the furnace of unfilled longing. Long-distance runners take steady strides and focus on endurance, not just the speed. They run each lap, stretch to their limits and give themselves to one thing winning. AS THEY NEAR THE FINISHING LINE, A FINAL BURST OF ENERGY KICKS IN. IT’S THE FINAL LAP! NO EXCUSES! IT’S NOW OR NEVER!

At least one time before they lay you in your casket, you owe it to God, yourself and your generation to experience that last-lap feeling of giving it all you’ve got. Victory doesn’t come cheap. Paul writes, ‘Be prepared. You are up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet.. (Ephesians 6:13-15 TM)

10 Worsts Mistakes Christians Make While Dating..

Singles make up a  big percentage of any given church, and pastors spend a lot of time teaching about marriage and parenting. But how do you actually find the right person to marry? You won't hear much teaching about dating in most churches. It's like we're afraid to touch the subject—so people just feel their way in the dark and figure out romance on their own. Our awkwardness about this topic is one reason single Christians make so many relationship blunders—and why many marriages start out on the wrong foot. I asked some of my single friends and one of my daughters to help me compile this list of most common dating mistakes. Here are the Top 10: 1. Being desperate for a relationship.  Some singles freak out when they hit age 25. They stop trusting God and begin a nail-biting search for a mate. My friend Nicole Doyley, author of  The Wait , says she knows women who are so frantic about finding Prince Charming that they immediately fall for any guy who asks th...

21 Questions to Ask before Marriage... By Pastor Bimbo Rosemary Odukoya

Learning how to live a maximized singlehood and to build a relationship that will culminate to a healthy marriage that is heaven on earth from a biblical practical approach. The Bible says that, “a man who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord.” Proverbs 18:22.  But we must understand that the finding is a process and it is a serious task. This process involves seeking and elimination. It takes time and energy. Ignorance of what this process involves is what makes many singles sad and discouraged or rush into mis-matched marriages. The truth is, finding just any type of life partner is easy; you can pick anyone off the street and go to the altar with him/her. But the heart-breaks and rejections from failed relationships are not easy at all. If you must find that one who would do you good, that one who is tailor- made by God to fit you, then you must invest time, ...

10 TYPES OF WOMAN U SHOULD NEVER THINK OF MARRYING!

1. The Bitter Woman: You know that woman that always seems to be angry at the menfolk all the time? Perhaps she has had her heart broken one too many times, but this woman is always bashing on men and talking about how they are no-good or useless. A man might not want to settle down with someone so bitter as it is guaranteed that when the opportunity arises, she would hurl hurtful insults and intense, hateful words his way due to all her unresolved anger. 2. The Selfish Woman: If you want a happy home and a partner that wants your happiness as well as hers, then you should steer clear of the selfish woman. A woman who is determined to make sure she always comes first would not be able to build a cheerful and loving home with you. 3. The Materialistic Woman : A woman obsessed with material things would certainly not make the best wife. If all she cares about are material possession over family, faith and spiritual fulfillment, then she will not make the best partner. ...
