The fruits of the spirit – 1

Posted on Saturday 15th March, 2008 by Ajomabi Oride

What are the fruits of the spirit? The bible makes us understand that fresh water and salt water cannot flow from the same spring, so also would not the fruit of the Spirit and the fruit of the flesh co-habit. We are either living by the Spirit or by the flesh. The Spirit does not agree with the things of the flesh, neither does the flesh agree with the things of the Spirit. For example, the Holy Spirit talks of love but the flesh talks of lust; these two seemingly the same but entirely opposite terms can generate an unending argument between the spiritual man and the carnal man.

Numbers don’t add up in love, dating and relationships

Posted on Friday 22nd February, 2008 by Pele Odiase

How you ever told yourself you wanted to get married at a certain age or you want to have your kids before your thirties. Perhaps you’ve also said you wanted a younger or older wife or husband. Most times numbers don’t add up in matters like this. Although I do not see anything wrong in having preferences, if things turn out the way you wanted, great! But you shouldn’t make things happen the way you want them to at all cost. I fell into that trap once and getting out was dreadful and a horrendous experience. Continue reading →

He married the wrong woman, what should he do?

Posted on Thursday 21st February, 2008 by Pele Odiase

Marriage can reveal a lot of things about who we are and who are spouses really are too. The dating period is over and if there was any pretense, your true self is now manifested in the flesh. It is not surprising that after a while you begin to think you married the wrong person. Most of the time, this thought arises as a result of differences in opinions, philosophy, ideology, faith, habits and sometimes interests. For the genuine, it would take time and mutual compromises to adjust in marriage and maintain harmony in the relationship. I was presented with a similar situation and these are my thoughts.

Christianity and clubbing, do they go together?

Posted on Tuesday 19th February, 2008 by Pele Odiase

Someone asked if Christianity and clubbing go together. What do you think? Is is OK for a Christian to go clubbing, if yes, are there any no go areas and if no why not?

Some people associate clubbing with binge drinking, one night stands, violence and public nudity while there are those that feel it just a time to socialise and move the feet.  Continue reading →

Naked and Unashamed in Marriage

Posted on Sunday 17th February, 2008 by Pele Odiase

Hand in hand they walked in the garden in gentle strides enjoying the cool of the day. The sounds of whistling birds and waters flowing downstream always made the evening promenade pleasant. But wait a minute, the man and his wife haven’t got any clothes on and it didn’t seem to bother them. They loved each other and discovering that she was the bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh was a divine revelation. Continue reading →

Virgins, virginity and the purpose of sex

Posted on Wednesday 13th February, 2008 by Pele Odiase

A virgin is a woman who still has her hymen intact which mean she hasn’t had sexual intercourse with any man. I don’t think having oral sex, kissing, romance and the likes without intercourse deflowers a woman even though there are people that think it does. However, this isn’t a license to indulge in sexual acts outside the confines of marriage remember you have already guilty of sin by thinking of it in your heart. And as a man thinks so is he.

Challenges of being a man and a man of God

Posted on Tuesday 12th February, 2008 by Pele Odiase

One phrase that spoke volumes to me was spoken by Bishop T.D. Jakes. He said in his book  He-Motions: Even Strong Men Struggle (also in CD) that “Every boy needs a father, and a man does too”. It gave me the opportunity to reflect and think about my childhood, growing up into life, finding my path in life, discerning God’s plan for me, and finding my identity and significance. The challenges of being a man is high, being a man of God requires more of the man. Continue reading →
