God Is the Best Match Maker..

   I sat down on my bed talking to God and pouring out my heart to Him. In actual fact- I was telling God about how the kind of guy I wanted.....lol...funny but true!
It wasn’t like there were no guys.....there were lots of them.....in fact; it was like jumping from one odd bus to another. I didn’t just want boyfriend material, I wanted a husband (not that I’m getting married soon) but then, I wanted someone who loved God like I did, someone who understood me perfectly, someone who complemented me, someone who shared in my vision and also had his, someone whose utmost desire was to make heaven, someone who I could plan my life with and together we would prayerfully set our future in motion....the list was endless. By the time I was done telling God the kind of guy I wanted, I felt like one of those ladies with a highly unrealistic “dream guy”.

Long story cut short, he came into my life a couple of months afterwards. By that time, I was practicing what I learnt from Funto Ibuoye about Waiting. I was prayerfully preparing myself, focusing on my relationship with God and developing my career when my “prince charming” located me.
Today, I celebrate two things amongst a host of others.
1) I’m a year older and all glory belongs to God.
2) I celebrate my engagement to the man of my dreams.
Here’s what I’ve learnt in the past one year- God listens....He always does! And He knows the perfect way to respond!

 This testimony is great and should inspire every Lady in waiting. Too many times, i've had people tell me i have unrealistic expectations when it comes to my "dream guy" but as a believer i'm very certain that God is able to do more than we ask or imagine.
There are days, i feel like giving up then i smile and say to myself "God has never failed". Ladies nothing in the world is worth giving up your relationship with Christ for.
The moral of the story is this, God is still in the business of answering prayers if we ask. Wishing Temitope and her lover a blissful union.


cheers..

Marriage Built On Biblical Principles

Father, Your Word establishes that wives should submit to their husband’s authority and reverence him. Your Word also establishes that husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave His life for it (1 Peter 3: 1- 7). We thank You that this is established in our relationship now and forever. We thank You, Father, for making us greater together than we will ever be apart (Ecclesiastes 4: 9- 12)

We thank You, Father, that divorce is not an option in this marriage so the discussion of such will never be entertained (Mark 10: 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder). We thank You for the willingness to rectify all disagreements or conflict in our relationship before our day ends (Ephesians 4: 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath). We confess and decree that we will give envy and strife no place in this relationship (James 3: 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work). We confess and decree that we use kind words to deflect frustration and anger (Proverbs 15: 1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger; Proverbs 16: 24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones). We confess and decree that we will live harmoniously and love each other with the unconditional love of Christ.

We thank You, Father, that our family prays together and will stay together, 

happily and lovingly, through the submission to Your Word and the leadership of my husband/ myself (Psalm 127: 1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 

We declare and decree that the glory of our future will be greater than that of our past (Haggai 2: 9)

Amen...

For 2015 love more purely, give the understanding you'd like to get, be more patient with others, consider others, be less insensitive, compliment others more, let stuff go, pray for people even when there's no crisis, practice listening instead of being heard, read the Bible and talk to Jesus more than anyone else," the Instagram note reads. "Be quiet and listen to the Holy Spirit more than anyone else. Be disciplined! Stop making excuses! Be better..on purpose!"

 Tina Overcame her Husband's nine infidelities in 2013 and watched God heal her brokenness in 2014. According to Tina, their story is a living proof that modern day Miracles still exist. God kept Tina and Teddy from a broken Marriage ans He did it in One year.
