Dear Singles of God,

-
The unbelievable happened to me! And right now, I am still in deep shock.

Last night, out of the blues, my mom called me to ask, "You are no longer a kid, you are 20. Tell me, who is that person you want to marry?"

What?

At that instant I felt like I was going to disappear and appear in planet Mars. Some of you might be wondering, "what's the big deal in that?". Well, my mom and I don't have the kind of relationship where we talk about relationships, lol. Hence, the shock.

However, at that instant, I understood what people meant when they talked pressure from parents to get married. Really, that pressure is real. But then, I am here to tell you of something that is much more valuable than the pressure of getting married.

"The Will of God" Truth be told, a twenty something year old lady should begin to have a Mr Who. However, there is what we call "the will of God". The will of God supersedes that of your parents', it supersedes even your own will. Anyone who allows the will of God would not make a costly mistake.

Learn to let God have his way and do not let anyone rush you into something you would later regret. There is another thing I want to point out.

You know, after she asked me that question, I began to think of the guy that has been disturbing me for a while now. This same guy, God had already told me a no. I started thinking, "should I call this guy? Should I give it a trial?" Thankfully, before I did something outside of God's will, I was cautioned.

These three things you should always remember
1. The safest place in the world is in the will of God.

2. Pressure from outsiders won't kill you, so give yourself some breathing space.

3. God has a plan for you, let Him do his part, and do not try to hurry him. 

"Faithful is He that has called you, who also would bring it to pass." 1Thessalonians 5:24. Shalom

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-
Image
Midlife crisis, "a loss of self-confidence and feeling of anxiety or disappointment that can occur in early middle age." Generally, midlife crisis occurs between ages 45 - 55. But, I would say midlife crisis can occur at any age. Or how do we explain a frustrated Engineering Graduate who works as an unskilled labour due to unemployment? These days, twentysomethings are not far from midlife crisis. What does the Bible say about midlife crisis? How does one go about a dashed dream at twentysomething? Apart from what you know, what else has the story of Ruth thought you? Ruth 1-4 tells us of the story of a young Moabite lady, Ruth, who lost her husband at a very young age. Ruth, then went with her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to her home in Judah. Thinking about it, Ruth was a young lady facing a midlife crisis. She was a widow without a child. We do not know what hopes and dreams got shattered along with the death of her husband. However, we can say that a lot o...

Things You Shouldn't Do In Church

-
Last week Thursday, I was in the Bible Study in my fellowship, and while the message was being preached, I rested my head on my thigh (bending forwards to rest my head, with my arms as support on my thigh), you get what I mean right? I wasn't exactly sleeping though, but in that position, I appeared to have somewhat gone far away from the Bible Study. Out of nowhere, the Bible Study secretary called me to answer a question! I couldn't even at that first instance comprehend the question, so, I asked him to repeat himself, and guess what? The congregation busted out laughing. I didn't have much of an issue with that, not until the Bible Study secretary had to compare me with Eutychus right in front of everybody, (Oh My God!!!). That was quite unnecessary if you would ask me, you know, I wasn't even sleeping in the first place. Alright, end of story. One thing I (you) should try as much as possible NOT to do is sleep during a sermon, or Bible study, or rather, appear...

What You Should Know Before You Start Every Competition

-
COMPETITION, is one thing, as mortal beings, we cannot but do. Thanks to Biology, competition is one of the characteristics of living things, so it's not as though it is a sin. But as a Christian, there are some things you ought to know while you are out there competing with others. 1. The aim of every competition is to win, to come out better than every other counterpart. As a matter of fact, some Christians now compete to oppress the losers so to speak. That is bad actually, and is in no way healthy. When you find yourself in a situation where you have to just compete, your aim should be to win, and not to oppress your counterparts. You should be able to be a team with your competitors at any point in time if need be, and not sworn enemies. It is the devil and his own who oppresses, and you are not one of his, are you? 2. When competing, let's say in a business environment, it should always be at the back of your mind that you are a Christian who lives to serve and to ple...
