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 (2nd 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.
