REV. FUNKE-FELIX ADEJUMO'S FOREWARD TO MY BOOK - "HOW DO I KNOW"

Hello readers, it' been a while...yes it is… I'm back and I've decided (by popular demand) to post my book here for the benefits of those outside the country.  In the next couple of weeks, I'll be posting my book in bits for a "meaningful reading".  I will be welcoming questions and comments from you all.  So, my first post from the book is the 'FOREWARD', written by Rev.Mrs Funke-Felix Adejumo.  

This foreward is a message on its own.  A lot of people have been asking me if I have a relationship with her (so close to her), but sincerely, I'm still working towards it.  So, how come she wrote this?  Well, I believe the Holy Spirit must have ministered to her, and besides, it's a proof that she's a woman with a large heart.

Coincidentally, this weekend (2^nd November 2013) she will be hosting all mothers and mothers-to-be at her yearly event (Mother's Summit) in Lagos, Nigeria (check the attached picture).

 I'm using this medium to invite you (the woman and the "woman-of-the-man" reading) to this prayer summit.  By default, my yearly calendar is always crossed out for this programme and it has always been an awesome time to sow seeds into the future.  I promise you that you will not regret attending.

To the e-readers of my book, happy reading

FOREWORD

One evening when he went out to the field to think,

he looked up and saw camels coming.

Rebekah also looked and saw Isaac.

Then she jumped down from the camel and asked the servant,

“who is that man walking in the field to meet us?”

The servant answered, “That is my master”,

so Rebekah covered her face with her veil.

The servant told Isaac everything that had happened.

Then Isaac brought Rebekah into the tent of Sarah, his mother,

and she became his wife.

Isaac loved her very much,

and so he was comforted after his mother’s death (Genesis 24: 63-67 NCV).

Profitable relationships are platforms for accelerated progress in life and ministry. Your companions will determine to a large extent what you become and attain in your pursuit of destiny. The seven closest people to you apart from your immediate family members are a reflection of who you are and aspire to be. Relationship is so important that King Solomon proclaimed: He who walks with the wise will be wise but a companion of fools will come to ruin (Proverbs 13:20 NCV).

You may not have the privilege of choosing your parents but God has given you the prerogative to choose your friends and marriage partner. To make the right choice in marriage, you need to know how to go about it.

The Bible says God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness (2Peter 1:3 KJV), more so, the blessings of God are given without sorrow (Proverbs 10:22 NLT).

Marriage is intended for pleasure by God. We have a loving Father who delights in the prosperity of His children. This same God desires that you enjoy His best in the area of marriage. He has made adequate provisions in His word to help you discover His best in marriage. He promised in His word to guide you in the way that is best for you. The Lord says, “I will make you wise and show you where to go, I will guide you and watch over you (Psalms 32:8 NCV).

I have been married for almost thirty years and I can assure you that in spite of its challenges; my marriage is sweet. Apart from the gift of salvation, my marriage is the greatest gift God has given me. My husband is my friend, my brother and my saviour. The Bible says the husband is the saviour of the wife (Ephesians 5:23 NCV).

God can give you the same testimony in marriage and in every endeavour of life but you can only access God’s blessings by knowledge. Many singles make mistakes in the choice of marriage partners and wreck their destiny because they do not acquire the necessary knowledge to make the right choice. Great men in the Kingdom are made great by knowledge.

A blissful marriage is not a function of wishful thinking, for life is not governed by miracles but knowing and abiding by godly principles makes the difference.

I recommend the book, ‘How Do I Know?’ by Ibilola. It’s a must-read for every single who desires God’s best in life and marriage. This scripture based book will prepare you for that right man and woman and also transform you into the good and perfect will for the right person.

I pray that God will make your marriage and home as peaceful and blissful as Eden before the fall. I pray that your love for God remains unshakeable. Also, may your love for your partner be as strong as Isaac’s for Rebekah and may your partner be a huge comfort to you.

Christ’s coming is at the door, please as His brides; prepare to meet the Bridegroom of the Church.

God bless you.

Rev. Funke – Felix Adejumo.
