When you find yourself on the same side with unbelievers constantly. Their point of view is your point of view, their pain is your pain,. their argument is your argument, their worldview is your worldview, you need to do a thorough examination of your faith as a believer. You

need to sit yourself down and ask yourself how your light and darkness seem to have a lot in common. You need to check the root of your belief system, perhaps you were too shallow and carried away by the surface theme of deeper plots hewn by detractors of the faith
You need to do

this and get into the word of God more!
If your light is dimming, all things will become relative and sometimes you can't tell the difference between your faith and that of an unbeliever who is deeply rooted in another religion
You sometimes tell yourself that the unbeliever is

As much as possible, i beg you, before you marry into any family be sure you want to marry into the family
Be convinced
Dont marry into a family you hate or do not understand properly because you love their son or their daughter
Dont tear the family apart for your selfish reasons

While we were undergraduates, my brother started going out with a lady. She was a believer, quiet, and very reserved. They met each other while they were in 100 level. I joined the same school a year later and I realized something quite odd about my brother and this lady.
When

i walk into the cafeteria and see them together, my brother would hesitate before coming over to say hello to me. His babe's body language would immediately change. I was the older brother but I was in 100 level at the time and they were in 200 level, she found it difficult to

Question: I have a question Sir,
If God has a Plan A that has been preordained and it doesn't happen; this means God changes his mind. Is plan B preordained too? Did God have plan A and plan B in his hands at the same time.
My mind is finding it hard to wrap around this.

Answer: (This was a "relationship" discussion so the answer was given in that context)
There was a lady I met in the University, 300 level! She was in 300 level law. She was in a relationship. I was not in a relationship. We worked together on a bad conference project. The Holy

Spirit told me she is my wife. One of our fellowship leaders took me on a drive to one of the school’s projects inspection tour a few days later.
He said “The Lord has laid it on my heart that this lady is your wife”
I nodded
The following week the lady’s relationship got broken

A friend of his was celebrating her 30th birthday
She had broken off her relationship eight days to the day
She was heartbroken and needed some support in order to heal
He met her at his former office
She was younger than him by ten years but she was very mature
Unlike the staff

members who worked with him in that office
She was smart and very perceptive
She knew somehow that beneath the fine suit and plastic smile was a very unhappy man who was facing hell in his marriage
How she knew he couldn't say
One day he was in the office, a day to valentines and

she popped into his office with a gift
She said "This this to your wife tomorrow, I believe it can break the ice and help you guys reconnect again"
He was caught unawares by her audacity
She had nailed the issues with his marriage on the head
He and his wife had drifted apart

In 2008, I was a fresh graduate who found himself living in Lagos after having spent all my life growing up in Ibadan.
My first weekend in Lagos was terrible
There was a church directly opposite my older sister's flat
(She had relocated to the USA with her husband in 2004) and

had kept on paying the rent
That was where I got the effrontery to travel from Bowen University to Lagos after my final examinations
I had some money on me with which I could buy food stuff and I felt I would get a petty job to do before I got called up for NYSC
This church had

this crazy idea that if you dont come to their church or attend any church service on a Sunday, you have no right to rest in your own house
Their megaphone was directed at my window and they turned on the noise mercilessly
I was a believer but I do not support their irritating

Sometimes we get to read outrageous things
Sometimes we get to experience outrageous things as believers
When we hear outrageous testimonies, we wonder if they were true
When we experience outrageous miracles, we wonder if we would be believed or if we should only share with a

few friends within our circle of faith and shut the world out of it
We don't want some spawns of Belial to throw stones at us over that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched and that

which the Holy Spirit has done through us concerning the outworkings of the Holy Spirit and the word of life!
And yet, we know that when you keep quiet about a manifestation of the spirit, you debar other believers from walking in its reality for faith comes by hearing!
So many
