7 MISTAKES TO AVOID BEFORE MARRIAGE




Enoch Adeboye is a famous Nigerian pastor, popularly known as E.A Adeboye. He is the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Nigeria. His teachings and counseling has helped a lot of young people from their salvation to their relationship life. 

In his numerous teachings on YouTube, I chanced on his message “7 mistakes to avoid before marriage” and this has been an eye opener for me.

Below are the seven things he spoke about, I hope this also helps you in your relationship.


Don’t Marry a Man Who Has No Job

Before God gave Adam Eve, he gave him a job, which was the garden. God said this is the garden keep it. So those who come to you and say sister, thus sayeth the Lord, you are going to be the star in my firmament you need to be careful about them. You need to ask him if he has a job.  A man is to provide for the house so if he has no income, he shouldn’t marry. Those who would not work should not eat and if they can’t eat, they can’t even marry.

 Don’t Marry a Delilah



Proverbs 31:30 says that charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Delilah was a beautiful lady and very charming which attracted Samson but since she didn’t fear God, finding it easy to destroy Samson. Don’t marry for beauty sake. Marry a God-fearing lady, if you marry with beauty it will fade away since everyone grows old.


Don't Marry an Unbeliever

 It is better to be single than it is to be married to the devil. Don’t ever think that you can marry somebody and then change the fellow. If the fellow does not change before you marry, it is a settled matter. But trying to pull the person out sin will end up pulling you down. If he is not a true child of God, don’t be associated with him. The word of God states it clearly that do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. And if somebody pretends that he/she is a Christian and he is following you to church because he is thinking he/she could get you. All you need to do is watch and pray, the bible says by their fruits you shall know them not by their talk. Marry a prayer warrior.

  
Don’t Marry a Fool
Seeing him so lanky, handsome, tall, rich doesn’t mean is the one. Goliath was tall but he lost his head, King Saul was lanky he lost his crown. His stature doesn’t matter, his wealth is of no account. The physique and wealth should be a bonus from God, if he has all these and has no wisdom, how does he head the marriage.


Don’t Marry a Girl Who Is Lazy


Every lazy lady can be fished out by their behaviour and attitude. Pay her family a surprise visit and observe things for yourself. If she was lazy when she was a girl, you will know. And if she has been lazy since childhood, how will she cope when she becomes a wife with children.


Don’t Marry a Lady Who Cannot Cook
  

The generation of this 21st century is prone to easy and fast things. All they care about is wealth and beauty. A lady who always tells you to buy fast foods, go to the restaurant is a lover of already finished foods. Marry a lady who knows how to cook since most of the ladies do not know how to cook. You want to eat food in your own house, a lady who cannot cook will not be a good wife.


Don’t Marry a Girl Who Can’t Dress Well
 You always want your family and your friends to discuss about your woman anytime they see her. Don’t give them the chance to say bad things about her. Let them say good and lovely things about her. A girl who is always after flashy things and jewellries will always worship them for the rest of her life.

WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION FOR LOVE?

Have you ever thought of defining love in your own words without consulting GOOGLE? Well this evening a group of young people on a WhatsApp group (Heath Matters) has given their own definition for love. The group administrator (Elorm) and a co administrator (Socrates) are the pioneers for the following quotes. Let’s have fun by defining love in your own words. You can use a lot of metaphors to illustrate the phenomenon of love, define yours and keep the fun triggering. Drop your definition in the comment box. Love is like a soap bubble, beautiful to behold but when you clutch at it, it quickly vanishes, leaving you feeling empty. Love is like a roasted plantain, you better eat it hot and fast before it grows cold, hard and loses the flavour. Love is like a butterfly, beautiful and breath taking to see and chase but difficult to catch. Love is like a rose flower, beautiful and sweet but it has thorns at the base and can prick you paa. Love is like a typical Leg

4 STEPS TO BUILD A PERSONAL BRAND

We all have our own perception when it comes to branding. My perception about branding is totally different from yours. I always thought I knew my brand until Bernard Kelvin Clive asked the whole congregation what our brand was. In an attempt to answer his question, I told him brand is something that makes you unique from others. “Yes you are right”, he said. But guess what, the follow up question that came to me was What is your Brand? Seriously I don’t know my brand but I knew the definition. After his message, I was able to identify my brand as a person. According to Bernard Kelvin Clive , “A personal (Brand) is more than just a creative name, cute logo or complimentary card; it’s a promise of value, it’s a distinctive voice, it’s a core message, its passion driven by purpose, it’s a positive impact that creates an impression” There were four steps I pinpointed during his message which I want to share with you because you are special. I am applying them and i
