Pastor Mike Bamiloye's Tribute to his wife  "MY DEAREST SINGLE SISTERS" (Tribute to My Wife - Sister Gloria Bamiloye) Proverbs 31:10-12, 23, 28, 30 NKJV [10] Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.   [11] The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.   [12] She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. [23] Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. [28] Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her: [30] Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Yesterday, February 4th, 2015, was my wife's 51st Birthday. And this year would be the 27years since 1988 the year we got married, when she was only 24 years old and I was 28. Since then, we have travelled through the thicks and the thins together, we have climbed the mountains and descended into the v...

Understanding the difference between love and infatuation... Do you remember the first time it happened? You caught one another’s eyes, and then you looked a second time. Something inside you wanted to glance a third time, followed quickly by a fourth lingering look. You didn’t want to stare, but something irresistibly drew you to that other person. When you were introduced, your palms were sweaty and you hoped no one noticed the increased perspiration under your arms. Your heart began to race as an exhilarating but unfamiliar feeling swept over you. You were suddenly afraid to say anything because you knew that if you opened your mouth, out would flow incomprehensible babble. The experience was exciting and terrifying at the same time. As the other person began to speak, you felt drawn like a magnet to a steel ingot. You didn’t know her or where she came from, but something about the way she looked and the aura that she projected triggered an unexp...

Mary was in love. He was sweet, fun to be around and so cute! One Saturday afternoon, while both parents were away they relaxed in Mary’s bedroom watching TV. Soon, the television was forgotten as they found themselves locked in a passionate embrace. It seemed only natural to express their love in a physical way. The parents returned home discovering them both in bed. After the boyfriend left, the heated argument began. “What’s the big deal?” asked Mary. “I really love him! Everyone else is doing it!” The parents honestly didn’t know how to argue with her except to say that it was wrong. What would you say? How do we help our youth grow up with morals and values? John and a friend discovered it on Dad’s computer through his Internet connection: pornography. The perversions that once were available only in seedy bookstores could now be accessed for free over the World Wide Web. Every day after ...

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, ...

Your spiritual compatibility will influence the quality of your future marriage more than any other factor.  Note: Each year, thousands of pastors and counselors use. Preparing for Marriage as the foundation of their pre-marriage training for engaged couples. Preparing for Marriage was recently revised and updated, and the following excerpt addresses a subject that many couples do not adequately discuss before they are married. No other human relationship will play a more important role in shaping your life than your relationship with your spouse. And yet many pre-married couples make the crucial decisions about marriage when their minds are clouded with such powerful emotions that they find it difficult to think straight. They are so caught up in the whirlwind of romance that they fail to work out some crucial issues before they commit their lives to each other. For a Christian, the most important of these issues is spiritual compatibility...

...It is hard work, but someone must be willing to be the first to break the cycle if a relationship is to be restored... The movie that made Marilyn Monroe famous was  The Seven Year Itch . The idea was that about every seven years most married people begin to itch where they can’t scratch. They know something is wrong, but they don’t know what, let alone what to do about it. Often they have an affair around that time. Of all marital problems, that which I have confronted the most often in my pastoral counseling is, “I just don’t love her anymore.” While there is a vast difference between being “in love” and loving someone, we still crave to be in love. Couples have been coming to me with marital problems ever since my first pastorate. Ninety percent of them have been married from two to seven years, though some as long as 30. All had the same problem—lost love. What the Bible has to say After hearing this repeated literally hundreds of times in serious coun...

Woman, be ready to be a wife and mother, Man, be ready to love... I am often asked, "What should a single person look for in a potential spouse?" Singles want to know...and parents want to know so they can pass the information on to the children. So I finally came up with the following list: A woman should seek a man who… 1. Fears God. Some of the ways you can tell if a young man fears God is by his language and how he treats other people. Does he treat them with respect? If not, why not? We as human beings are made in the image of God, and respecting people ultimately shows a heart that reverences the One whom we reflect. 2. Is not afraid to love. That may sound like a no-brainer, but a lot of young men today are afraid of commitment, and the young lady ends up chasing the young man. What we need today are more young men who are not afraid of being real, authentic, and committed to a young lady in a relationship. We need men who are not afraid to lo...
