HOW I ALMOST MISSED GOD'S WILL IN MARRIAGE - GLORIA BAMILOYE

When I was single and was seeking the face of God concerning a brother I desired to marry (ever before I knew my husband)

I so much allowed this brother into my life and we became friends without asking to know if he was the will of God for my life or not . May be because he perfectly fit in to my expectation.

I was afraid to pray because I did not want God to say NO to my desire. I was faced with a serious battle and confusion in my heart because of the constant check I received from the HolySpirit . It was as if I was hiding the relationship from God and God was waiting for me to open up to him for help.

When I could not run again, I opened up to God in tears to help me ,I told him everything, I told him that I sincerely loved the brother and I desired to marry him but I wanted to know his will concerning the brother...Continue reading here: https://bit.ly/37jPVXS

A couple of years ago before I got married, I was dating a doctor, I was in my final year and then I came to Portharcourt, and we continued long distance relationship. Before that period, when I was 16, I was told that I will not have children because I suffered from alot of sicknesses, literally I was the woman with the issue of blood, I was always bleeding, I needed to take medicine for me not to bleed, so it was just alot. So when I saw a doctor that is doing his master’s in abroad, I decided to date him because of the health issues I had before.

Halfway down the line when I was doing my masters in Lagos. One morning I was just praying and studying the word of the Lord, I read about when Jesus was at the well with the woman in the well, especially when Jesus told the woman that the man he is with is not her husband, the scripture piece into my soul, and the holy Spirit ministered to me that the one am with is not my husband, and the worst part is that this man has done introduction, so I was wondering what I was going tell my parents. I did not obey immediately because nothing was wrong with the guy, he was a born again Christian and had everything a woman desire in a man. So I told God that I won’t be the one to break off, that he should make him break up with me because I was not having any problems with him.

WEDDING NIGHT STORIES OF CHRISTIAN VIRGINS

It is an interesting story. Virginity was worth keeping for my hubby and I.

I'm very happy I kept mine till my wedding night. I thank God for my parents who guided me in the fear of the almighty and for his grace upon me then. I rejected so many men both rich and poor because they were demanding for s*x before marriage. God finally brought a believer to me. Although it was a long distance relationship, we got married within a year. At first...continue Reading here: https://bit.ly/4cjOGIg

HOW TO HEAL AFTER A BREAK UP?

Emotional healing after a breakup is not supposed to be a walk in the park, so it is not abnormal that you are having a hard time moving on. But I can assure you, God's got your back, and it's only a matter of time, self-care, and intentionality and you'll garner up the capacity to heal and move on. Here are some tips I believe can help you.

One. Grieve if you feel like it. A relationship is hard work and you've put in quite a lot to make that relationship work. If not for anything, you should grieve for the emotion and time you have invested in the relationship. So, it's okay to be pained. Take your time to mourn the loss of the beautiful future you had planned with your ex.

Cry if you have to. You have a friend in Jesus, and he will be more than willing to comfort you. God cares about your happiness as much as he cares about your sorrowful moments. So yes! You can find solace weeping in God's presence. You can pray even while you grieve. You can cry out your pain in the sweet warm embrace of the Holy Spirit. Let the tears drop on your bible while you gaze at God's promises for your marital destiny.

Two. Do not resent them. I know you are pained but you do not want to lose your relationship with God simply because a relationship with a human did not work. Be intentional about not entertaining resentful thoughts about your ex. All things are working together for your good. If you believe that, you will wish them well while trusting God for the better package He has in store for your future. Resist the urge to wish them evil, and pray for God's will to be done in their lives.

Three. Disconnect totally. Even if it is temporal, keeping a distance from your ex while you heal will help your emotions heal faster. Contact of any kind with them will take your brain back to the past, bringing memories that may be unhealthy for your emotional healing. You should avoid all forms of communication with them for a while. You should also consider unfollowing or unfriending them on social media.

Four. Express your emotions. Dealing with a relationship breakup comes with overwhelming emotions that you may not be able to deal with on your own. Consider talking to a mature member of your family, your spiritual parents, or a trusted friend. You can as well seek professional Christian therapy and counseling to process your thoughts and emotions during this period. Keeping a journal where you can voice out your feelings to God may also be of help.

Five. Be intentional about your physical well-being. During this period, there is every tendency for you to lose your appetite for food, or to eat excessively, but you must be intentional. You lost a relationship, you don't have to lose your life. While you are taking care of your emotional health, be sure to take care of your bodily health too. Eat good food, keep up with your routine exercises, and get enough sleep. Don't stay awake all night thinking and weeping over the past. Your physical well-being can contribute to how fast you heal emotionally.

Six. Get busy. To heal faster, you have to get busy with your life. Review your life goals and start working towards them. Get busy with God's purpose for your life. Read good literature. Listen to sermons. Go for spiritual programs and retreats to grow in your relationship with God. Learn new skills. Progress in your career or business. Apart from distracting you from the pain, focusing on your personal growth will minimize the possibility of damaged self-esteem and self-image, and will help you channel the negative energy towards a positive course.

Seven. Take some time to heal before considering another relationship. Give yourself enough space and time to process your emotions and regain stability. When your emotions are more stable, take out time to review the failed relationship, why it failed, and what lessons God would have you learn from the experience.

Eight. Be patient with yourself. Emotional healing takes time, and it is okay if you find yourself relapsing to tears and sadness. All you have to do at such times is to prayerfully get back up. Always remember that God is just a prayer away. You may feel lonely, but you are never alone. God is with you. Keep your trust in him and you will find yourself gradually moving forward and finding happiness again.

I love you!

A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP IN SCHOOL MAY DO YOU MORE HARM THAN GOOD

I understand that the decision to enter or not enter a relationship in undergraduate school is personal and that there are exceptional circumstances such as the age factor. However, before you choose this path, you should at least know what you are signing up for.

A romantic relationship comes with emotional demands and can also be time-consuming. You should ask yourself if you are capable of managing the potential diversion of focus from your academics. Do you have the emotional capacity to be actively involved in caring for another person while also dealing with school stress? Do you have what it takes to finish with good grades and at the same time sustain a successful relationship?

Bear in mind that successful relationships require strong interpersonal dynamics and emotional maturity. Do you have the ability to cope with complex emotions and handle the different challenges that may arise in your relationship from time to time?

Undergraduate student life is supposed to be a time of exploration and self-discovery. You should be actively involved in exploring God, your purpose, and your career. You should be busy hearing God for your future and mapping out a path for the ‘greatness’ you desire. You should be forming meaningful connections for your future, spiritually, career-wise, and so on. Will you be able to do all of these with a relationship in hand? Would you be able to freely develop your interests and pursue your personal goals?

If you start a relationship now, how many years do you plan to date before the wedding? Do you have the emotional and spiritual strength to overcome the social pressures that come with being in a relationship? Will you be able to resist s*xual advances from your partner? If you fall into temptation, do you have what it takes to deal with the consequences of your fall?

Summarily, the most important question you should ask yourself is, Does God want me in a romantic relationship now and, have I discovered my purpose and bearing in life?

If you are yet to identify your bearing in life, how do you guarantee that the individual you are about to commit to fits into your future? If you are yet to discover God’s purpose for your life, how do you confirm that this is the one with whom God would have you fulfill your purpose?

In the end, it all depends on your readiness for marriage and your priorities; how much you prioritize God, your purpose, your career, and your expected future.
