Good Night To Timothy LaHaye

It is no longer news that Tim LaHaye, the famous author of Left Behind series has gone to be with the Lord.
I personally knew him for his books, Opposite Attract, Why You Act the Way You Do and How To Be Happy Through Marriage.

God used him to help couples build a family that is in line with God's will and carry His glory.
He was a man that preached the truth, read the truth, spoke the truth, studied the truth, did the truth, acted the truth,
He came for his generation and impacted it.

Just like King David, the Jewish King, he served his generation until his final breath.
His life I believe is a challenge to this generation to which I belong.
If he did as much as that in his generation, how much more now that advancement in technology provides a better platform. If you are reading this, I want to tell you that this generation awaits you.

Although Tim is gone, yet he still speaks through the life he lived and the inspired works he left behind.  What has God sent you to do for this generation? There is more to life than eating, sleeping, watch movies or go to functions. These are not bad though, they are necessary but there is more to you than these. You are more than these. Yes you are.
You are more than merely surviving. Jesus says he has come to give us life and life more abundantly.
Do you believe that?

You don't have to necessarily be a writer like Tim or a preacher to make impact in your generation.
Whatever you are doing to contribute to what God is doing on earth is your means of impact. Do it well and faithfully.

Good night to Timothy Lahaye.
May our lives inspire others just like Tim's.

Thanks for reading. Till another time, live an inspired life.

WHEN DADDY CAN PRAY

Someone shared this article with me on the social media and as a father-to-be, I find it inspirational. I hope you also find it useful.
I could not keep it to myself anymore. I drove all the way to Dad's office and confessed to him I was in love with a young lady.

He asked for her name and description. He kept smiling. We prayed together and trusted God for His leading. Dad did not say a word.

Two days after my wife said "Yes" to my proposal, I told both dad and mum as a birthday gift for him.

Mum smiled and said, "Months earlier when your father went to preach in the Corpers Fellowship, he saw her and the Holy Spirit told him, "Eyi ki a n se iyawo omo re bi?" (Isn't she the wife of your son?). I was the only unmarried son. He kept his fingers crossed till I told him. Yet he did not utter a word but he knew already.

I want to talk to men: You MUST be the priest of your home. Nothing must happen without your knowing. If your wife is the one waking you up for family devotion and setting the pace, something is wrong with you!

You must have charted the course of your children in prayer. Call them by name in prayer and prophecy over them. Bless your wife daily. Lay hands on her before you step out.

What makes a man is far beyond finance and romance- you must be a man of prayer! Nothing must happen in your home until you permit it (not by stubborn conducts but prayers).

Brother, if you are unmarried now and you are not learning to pray, you are living like a spiritual gambler saying "what will be will be"; you better wake up, smell the coffee. Stop sleeping like a log of wood. Wake up at night. Blast in tongues by the Spirit. Take on the Word and confess it. Do not leave your future home to chance. Marriage is not a ludo game.

Fathers and fathers to be, take your place. Build finance. Learn Romance but Exercise your Spirit and take your place.

You are important!



You are important. Yes i just said that. Do you know that is how God sees you? But do you really see yourself like that? I know you might have made terrible mistakes in the past. You might have made some irrepairable errors and all the experiences left you empty and downcast. But do you remember what the Word Says in Isaiah 35 vs 3 'Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.' 

 Regardless of your life mistakes and errors, you are still important. Now you might ask me in what ways are you important? Firstly, you are important because you are alive. A living dog is better than a dead lion. Yes. You are better than those than have died.

You are important because there is a purpose for you to fulfil. God is ever waiting for you to come to the full realization of this.

Secondly, many are waiting for your manifestation. There are so many who will not find their importance if you do notcome to the awareness of youri mportance to God.

You might have grown up among family members who have no clue about who you are and even among people who doesnt know how the values you carry, nevertheless you can always give yourself the right mental image.

I just want to remind you that you should not let yourself go but aspire to be the best you can in the area of your importance and uniqueness.

Till another time, take yourself serious, encourage yourself, be the best you can be because you are important.

Are You Living By Purpose or By Problems?

Can I ask you this question? Are you living by purpose or by problems of life?
Do you know that which ever way you live your life is a decision you make. to live by purpose is to make decisions of life in line with God's grand plan. To live by problems is to focus on what the enemy is doing to distract you from God's grand plan.

You are designed to worship and give God glory.  You are designed to be controlled by life problems but to be in charge having solutions to challenges as they come.
Some spend their lives looking to solve a problem or the other while not focusing on the reason they are on earth.

Such people usually fall victim of the crooked individuals and systems.  False prophets are the on rise these days because people want to get one problem solved or the other. They also want to know what the future holds.

Some while trying to solve their problems, have gotten more problems in return.
God's Word the thoughts he thinks towards you are thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end. Do you believe that?

The first step to living according to purpose is to give your life to Christ: When you live your life for Christ, life becomes easy.

The second step is to join yourself to a bible-believing church where you can be discipled to grow in Grace.
Live your life by purpose and not by problems.
Till another time, remain blessed.

The Solution to Domestic Abuse



Dosmetic violence is according to google dictionary, a violent or aggressive behaviour within the home, typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner.

The social media has in recent times been flooded by the same. One question that usually come to mind is that where is the love the partners one shared in the corner and publicly?

How come things became so degenerated into abuse?

It is breath-taking. According to statistics, 1 in 4 women experience this. That is a staggering one.
It is a deviant from what God plans for the home.
The home is supposed to be like heaven on earth.  A place where God dwells and where His glory is experienced. What is the way out for domestic violence? 
Both parties must come to the revelation of divine purpose for the relationship.  It is said that when the purpose of something is not known, abuse is inevitable.
Both parties need not be violent with each other while leaving the personality to be violent with. It is the devil that they need to be violent with. 
When both parties decide to agree and resist the devil, just as the Word says, he will flee.
May God Help us to overcome domestic violence and live a life of glory and honour pleasing to God. Amen. 
Till another time, Love like Jesus.

Kingdom Wealth Is For You

The word of God says God gives us the power to get wealth.   
Wealth  is something much more greater than money.  Money is the least form of wealth. The Holy Spirit is our greatest wealth.
After Jesus ascended into heaven he promised us the Holy spirit who would guide us into truth and teach us all things.
 The power to get wealth is through the power of the Holy Spirit. Every born again child of God is entitled to the Holy Spirit and therefore Kingdom wealth.  It is for you.
Kingdom wealth is available to sons and daughters in the kingdom.  It is the promise of the Father. God always fulfill his promise.  If you in the kingdom already, I want to remind you that kingdom wealth is your entitlement.   Poverty is not of God but of the devil to limit the influence of sons and daughters of God.
Make up your mind to be wealthy.

Take time to study scriptures that talks about kingdom wealth, meditate on them and obey the instructions the Holy Spirit gives you.  Start manifesting kingdom wealth in you life.
Till another time, go and win with Jesus.

If you have nothing to say, remember the good old days e.g. when you proposed, what the spouse was doing that day.
Always engage in anointed conversations: TALK INTO SOLUTIONS.

Not All Men Cheat


Regardless of the number of men cheating on their wives today, there are still some men who do not.


There is always an exception to a generally observed phenomenon and the same applies to this.

While an A.C. repairer for my workplace was working, he made the statement "All men cheat".  As soon as he made the statement  something revolted in me and prompted my sharing this.

I will like to say the God's kind of men do not cheat.
They are the exception to the rule.
They are satisfied with the woman they have.  They live by the principles the wisest king gave in Proverbs 5: 19.
It is possible to avoid immorality as a married man with the help of God.
It is understandable that there are good-looking ladies all around and temptations abound.

It is not wrong to be tempted. But it is wrong to fall into the temptation.

I Cor. 10:13 says

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. (NLT)



Once you believe that all men cheat, then as a man you would find yourself doing it. However, when you yield to God, he would give you the grace to live above it.
Our generation is waiting for men who are God-fearing, disciplined and  would be a role model for their children.
I recommend this book, Point Man by Peter Farrar. I have read it several times and it was very useful.
I hope you find it useful too.
Love the article, do lemme know what you think in the comment box below.

3 years Today That My Father Passed Away

As I woke up today, the thoughts of my father filled my mind.  I realize it is 3 years already that he left the family for his heavenly home.
 Whao! How time flies.
 He transitioned from time to eternity.
From mortality to immortality.
I can remember vividly the advise he used to give me about life, serving God, finances, and character.
Towards the end of his life we became closer and I wish he lived longer. Alas he was gone before I knew it.
Few minutes to the time he breathed his last I was beside him on the hospital bed.  I wished it didnt happen.  The thoughts were strong and it was the fact that my father was leaving his wife and kids behind.  It was something he could have prevented if he had the power.
However, painful it was for us his loved ones that he left behind but glorious it is for him in heaven. A place of continual joy and worshiping God.
I love him but God loves him more.
He left a good legacy for me.  He was passionate about excellence and also a truthful man.
he loved to play piano, the passion he transferred to me who also plays the piano for My church Family.
I am forever grateful to God for his life.
I hope to go beyond where he never reached in his life time.  Making impact and fulfilling purpose.
That is my resolution.

What is your Temperament?

Have you ever heard of the word 'temperament'?
Do you know what it means? And how it affects you and your relationship?
Well if No, join me as we go on this trip today!!!
Permit me to use myself for illustration.
I am a young man and my temperament is an hybrid of choleric and melancholic.
I love things done my way and at another time I things to be done anyway that is good.
I like to give commands and I also love to sit back and allow someone else do the commanding.
I switch between the two temperaments.
How does this affect my relationship?  My temperament does not make friends easily and love to be alone and think.  I am a deep thinker and love to analyse.  I am a man of few words.  I hardly talk among people I don't know and I take my time to join discussions.
Briefly this is the description of the four types of temperaments:
Choleric is self-centered and love to boss around
Melancholic loves to be too analytical and never able to make up his or her mind
Phlegmatic is easy going and takes things with easy mindset
Sanguine is the fun type. Playful and out going.

What is your temperament? Find out and share with me in your comment below.

WHAT A MOTHER TOLD HER SON A DAY BEFORE HIS WEDDING

Mummy’s boy, you are now a man. Tomorrow you will have a new mother, a new cook and a new person to
share all your secrets with. It will no longer be me but her. Love your new mum even more than you love me.
Before you walk into her arms forever, let me give you some words to guide you.
There was a day I was arguing with your father. We were screaming, Tempers were high. I was angry and He was angry. Then I called him an idiot! He was shocked, He looked at me asking how dare I call him that, Immediately started calling him idiot, fool, stupid,
crazy, I called him all sort of name. Guess what he did?
He didn’t raise his hands to hit me. He just walked away, banging the door as he went out.
My Son, If your father had hit me and destroyed my eyes, how will you feel sitting here with me today? How will you regard him as your father? Would you have been proud of him or would you be blaming me for
calling him names? Never hit your wife! No matter the provocation just walk away and things will be normal.
Whenever she offends you, think of this story I just told you, it could have been your mum!
Before I forget, after he left, I was filled with guilt. We slept on same bed that night and I went to him the
next day. I pleaded with him, I did all I could to show am sorry and he forgave me. That day I cooked his favourite food, yes you know he loves Pounded yam &
Vegetable soup right? After that day, I never called him names, my respect for him was ten times stronger.
There is something very important you must always do,
my son listen very carefully, defend your wife. When she is under pressure, stand by her. If your friends
hates her, it is your duty to make them see her as a Queen. Your Uncle, I mean Uncle Yusuf, never liked
me. But Ur father was always supportive until his perception changed.
There was a day your Father was going to host the owner of his company and friends. They were three of
them. That day I was in the kitchen cooking for them and your father went to buy drinks. When the table was set and food was served. Everyone started eating. Then
I remembered I did not add salt in the food. I was embarrassed. Your father tasted the food and looked at
me. He immediately turned to the guests. He told them that he instructed his wife last month not to add salt
whenever she is cooking because of some problem with his body. He said it in a funny way and everyone laughed! The guests understood and he asked me to bring salt and everyone added according to their taste. He managed to eat the food without salt. After the guest left, he went on his knees and asked God to
forgive him for lying.
Your wife is like a baby, sometimes she don’t know what to say or do. Stand up and speak for her!
Now let me talk to you about Sex. You see Sex is a wonderful thing. Do not be surprised if your wife enjoy and need Sex more than you do. There were days, I
needed Sex more than your father and there were days he needed it more than me but the important thing is
to always try to satisfy the other when they need you.
Don’t always think of your self.
There was a time things were hard and I needed to do two jobs to support your father. One night I was so
tired. When I got to bed he was in the mood. He try to make love to me and I didn’t refuse him. I was tired but I felt I needed to be there when he need me. When he tried undressing me, he saw my look and he
stopped. He asked what was wrong and I said nothing.
But he understand me better. He stopped and then started telling me stories until I fell asleep.
My son, Sex is best enjoyed when the two parties are physically and mentally ready for it. Sometimes, read
your wife and understand her.
Make it a habit to go anywhere with your wife. Beside
your job, move around with her. If anyone invite you to his house and told you not to come with your wife then be very careful. Use wisdom.
I know you love mummy… I know you tell me all your
problems. But now things will be different.
Let your wife be the first to know before me. Let her
be the first to see before me.
When you have problems with her don’t run to me
immediately. Wait for a day to pass and then talk to
her about it. Pray about it. Report her to nobody but
talk issues out within yourself.
Finally, don’t forget to come and visit me with your wife every month!
I know you will have a happy home. You will always be mummy’s boy. God will bless Ur home. Pls don't forget God, pray & seek His assistance always..
Why not share this post? It May Strengthen Someone's
Relationship/Marriage!
