What matters most in life

what matters most in life Steve Gouves dies a billionaire, with a fortune of $7billion, at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer, & here are some of his last words: "In other eyes, my life is the essence of success, but aside from work, I have little joy, & in the end wealth is just a fact of life to which I am accustomed. At this moment, lying on my bed, sick & remembering all my life, I realize that all my recognition & the wealth that I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death. You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you but – you can not rent someone to carry a disease for you. One can find material things, but there is one thing that cannot be found when its lost – “life”. Treat yourself well, & cherish others. As we get older we get smarter, & we slowly realize that a watch worth $30 or $300 – both display the same time. Whether we carry a purse or a wallet worth $30 or $300 – the amount of money in it remains the same. Whether we drive a car worth $150,000, or $30,000 – the road & distance is the same, we will eventually arrive at the same destination. If one drinks a bottle of wine worth $300 or $10,000 – the “stroller” will be the same. If the house we live in is 300 square meters, or 3000 square meters – the loneliness is the same. Your true inner happiness does not come from material things. Whether you’re flying first class, or economy class – if the plane crashes, you crash with it. So, I hope you understand that when you have friends or someone to talk to – that is true happiness! 5 Undeniable Facts:- 1. Do not educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. – So when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the cost. 2. Eat your food as medicine, otherwise you will need to eat your medicine as food. 3. Whoever loves you will never leave you, even if he or she has 100 reasons to give up. He or she will always find one more reason to hold on. 4. There is a big difference between being human & human being. 5. If you want to go fast – go alone! But if you want to go far – Go together! And in conclusion, The 6 best doctors in the world:- 1. Sunlight 2. Rest 3. Exercise 4. Diet 5. Self-confidence 6. Friends Keep them in all stages of your life & enjoy a healthy life. “Love the people The Almighty sent you, one day He will need them back.” 🙏🙏Something worth sharing!!! Wishing u all a prosperous 2020.

When a Man is Ready to Marry

"The masses defeated Moses" In my 25 years of existence, I have learnt one thing. Someone who wants something so bad won't have any excuses as to why they don't have it. They'll go for it regardless of the obstacles. Now, I have seen people hook up and start planning weddings in a month's time and everything worked out fine. I am a strong believer of "know what you want " and if possible table it for whoever is important. - Knowing each other is important, but I'll tell you this from experience, a man who wants a woman may wife her within hrs of knowing her. There's no one as impatient as a man who knows for sure that he wants to settle down, he'll do it so fast ushtuke( you'll be perturbed😂). And, no one wastes time, finds excuses, finds faults, and scapegoats like a man who's not ready to settle. He'll be uncomfortable with even how a woman inhales, exhales etc he be like " she breathes In too much, she might finish the air making me suffocate"

Power of A vision

#MorningDevotion The Power Of A Vision A group of children were divided into 3 groups and each group was given an identical jigsaw puzzle to piece together. All three groups were given the same instructions. They were told it was a timing test to see which group would complete the task first. They were allowed to talk laugh and basically have fun but they were not allowed to look at what the other groups were doing. Although the puzzles were the same, the first group was given the complete puzzle with the top which had a picture of what the finished puzzle was to look like The second group was given the puzzle without the top so they had no point of reference. They had no idea what the complete picture looked like. The third group was given the puzzle with the wrong top. The reference picture was wrong and it did not match the puzzle pieces. They were told to begin their task and as they did so, that’s when things got interesting The first group got the puzzle together in 3 minutes flat. By this time, the 2nd group was having some difficulty but they were halfway through The 3rd group on the other hand was frustrated and they were nowhere Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish Now when you really think about it, which of this three group’s best describes your life? Do you have a vision? How clear is your vision? The first group finished in good time because they had a clear vision and the stuck to the plan even when the individual pieces made no sense. They knew what they were working towards and how the finished product looked like. They had a point of reference to measure their progress. Is that the same case with you? Do you have a clear picture of where you are going or what you are building? The 2nd group had no vision but they created it as they moved along. They took a much longer time frame because they did not have a clear picture of where they were going. Does that describe you? Are you painting the picture as you go along? The 3rd group had the wrong vision and thus they made no progress and became frustrated. Their building materials were not corresponding with the vision they had and that was a recipe for confusion. Is that where you are today? A very important thing to note is that all the 3 groups had the right pieces to the puzzle but their success was determined by the vision they had. That my friend is the power of a vision. God has given you and I all the pieces to piece the puzzle together. What we have to do is hook up with Him in faith and allow Him to guide us as we put the pieces together. Reflections Do you have a clear picture or idea where you are going? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Are you following your own vision or have you connected with Gods vision for your life? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Do you get frustrated when it seems like the pieces don't make sense? What do you do? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What did you learn ?

What did you learn ? From what happened to you It’s not what happened, it’s what you learned from what happened. It’s not what they did, it’s what you learned from what they did...what you take away from what they did, what you won’t let nobody else do because of what they did. Don’t get lost in the fire, use it. Don’t get carried away by the storm, ride it. You won’t change nothing in your future as long as you leave your power in your history. You are not past it until you’re healed from it. You’re not healed from it until you can give God the glory for it...we won’t let you go into 2020 with a fake smile, or without the mental and emotional support, and the wisdom you need to walk out of the past...with your power. We need you to survive and thrive. #copied Patrick Weaver.

Overcoming patterns of Defeat

[09:25, 11/28/2019] Lindokuhle: *OVERCOMING PATTERNS OF DEFEAT* 1. What is a pattern ? Dictionary definition :- - A repeated decorative design - A model or design used as a guide in needlework and other crafts . *BIBLICAL MEANING* Any behavior you engage in that is self sabotaging that takes you away from what you want, or that distracts you from your goals. Also a behaviour that zaps your vitality ,leaving you exhausted and without access to the powerful energy you need to create your best life. *EXAMPLES OF PATTERNS OF DEFEAT* 1 ] Engaging in clear and obviously risky ventures 2 ]Procrastination 3 ] Self-seclusion 4] Missing appointments 5]Social withdrawal 6] Withholding ones needs 7] Giving up easily when facing adversity 8] Playing the role of a victim and easily sinking into vices. These are some of the examples. The list is longer. When you look into your life do you see examples of negative patterns? *Why the patterns of life mean something* If you pay close attention ,there must be patterns in your life. Your patterns differ from mine,but they are patterns. It may be from things you have been reading ,what you have been thinking for a while and only to find it in your life experiences ,conversation or what have you.... *Romans 12:2* *Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect* Just by observing patterns in ones biological or spiritual family ,whether one fail or succeed can be determined beforehand . Unless one is able to recognise any pattern present ,pray and in some cases fast to break these patterns ,one may end up facing the same challenges ones parents or family. *STEPS TOWARDS BREAKING DEFEATING PATTERNS* 1] Discover why you want to change . You will be motivated to change only when you clearly understand the reason why you want to change your life..eg if you want to reach a goal or if you are disgusted by your own behavior . *Ask God to reveal the reason* 2] Change your perceptions . Admit that the way you have been interpreting your life has been sabotaging your ability to break free of defeating patterns that are holding you back. Recognise you need God's help, give Him full access to your heart and mind and ask him to stop the generational dysfunction . Break any family cycle before it continues in your life. Give leadership of every part of your life to God. *Proverbs 3:5-6* Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths 4] Form Godly habits. Changing the way you think will change the way you live. Ask the holy spirit to renew your mind daily. *Philippians 4:8* [8] For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. Pursue forgiveness Don't let bitterness and anger accumulate in your soul that will poison you spiritually and make you vulnerable to attacks from evil. Obey God's command to forgive others who have hurt or offended you as God has forgiven you or your own sins. Let God carry your burdens and give you power to move on to a healthier life. *Colossians 3:13* Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 6] Surround yourself with faithful friends . Friends who want the best for you, encouraging,supporting and holding each other accountable as you all grow closer to God. *Proverbs 18:24* 24 There are “friends” who destroy each other,but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. 7] Stay focused. Remain focussed on doing what God leads you to do each day to move beyond your past destructive life and build a new,healthier one. Aim to fulfill Gods purpose for you every day. Don't be discouraged when your progress seems slow . Continue following where God leads you.

Life has no classmates

Food for thought.... I was thinking this morning..... about our speed in this race of life. Last Sunday, I was privileged to attend the wedding of the daughter of my good friend and former classmate in the College. As I sat as part of the guests at the reception, listening to the proud MOB (mother of the bride) giving her speech, I reflected on how far we've come as former classmates in school. I considered how her children are of marriage-able age (the youngest just turned 20), while mine are still teenagers. I recalled another classmate of ours whose son just graduated as a medical doctor, but mine just about entering the University. As I pondered on why it seems I am lagging behind, the face of another of our classmate flashed by and I was reminded that his children are still in Primary school. At this point, it dawned on me that though we were all classmates and graduated together same year, life has shuffled us and placed us in different classes today. We were classmates in school, but not classmates in life. Everyone has his unique class. I concluded that in the school of life there are no classmates, because Life is a class of one. Life is a class of one. Hmm!!! That conclusion held me down for a bit. Ten years after I got employed in my dream job, getting a second promotion became a prayer point. One day, a colleague that we came in together on same level walked up to me and said 'Bro, na wao. We came in together and I have gotten three promotions and you, just one. Is there something you are not doing?' I left him feeling bad but not for long because soon after, I realised that in the school of life there are no classmates. Life is a class of one. He is on his path while I am on mine. Have you considered why, from the same branch of a tree you have both ripe and unripe fruits? The seeds were released same time, exposed to same nutrients and environmental conditions but yet some ripen before others. Identical twins that deliberately wait for each other to be in the same class, engage in the same business like P-Square (Peter and Paul Okoye) and even wed on the same day, will not get their wives pregnant on the same day. Life is a differentiator. My mind is made up that Life is a class of one. If it is true that in the school of life there are no classmates, because Life is a class of one, then why do we look at another and feel inadquate, like we are not where we should be? Why would someone that has been privileged to be in a somewhat lofty position look down on others like he is superior in some way? Life is a class of one. I am in my class for now (it can always change) and you are in yours. Do not sweat over the class others are in, because there are no classmates in life. If you like, give yourself double promotion like we do in those days, life will eventually place you in the class you are meant to be. Do not compare yourself with anyone, because you are in a class of one. There are no classmates in life. Let's ponder on this as we journey through life. ~Mentor 💕💕💕

Jesus Master Have mercy on Us

Jesus Master Have mercy on Us -Luke 17

Yesu kapita Samaria,
Wagonjwa kumi wakamuona
Wakiwa mbali wakamuita,
Mwalimu Yesu tuhurumie

{Yesu - Mnazareti tuhurumie
Yesu - Mwenye huruma akawaponya} * 2

Wakati wote Mwokozi Yesu,
Alipopita huku na huko
Aliwakuta walemewao,
Na kwa huruma akawaponya

Na hata sisi Yesu aweza,
Kuja kwetu tunapomuita
Kutuokoa toka dhambini,
Na kuwa naye huko mbinguni

Yesu capita of Samaria,
Ten patients saw him
When they were afar off, they called him,
Teacher Jesus have mercy on us

{Jesus - you have mercy on us.
Jesus - merciful healed them} * 2

All the time Savior Jesus,
Where he passed here and there
He found them what they said,
And with mercy he healed them

And even us Jesus can,
Come to us when we call him
Saving us from sin,
And be with him in heaven

The dead-horse package

the dead-horse package

When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount, bury the horse and get a living horse. However, in Africa more advanced strategies are often employed, such as;

1. Buying a stronger whip
2. Appointing a committee to study the horse
3. Changing riders
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that the dead horse can be included.
6. Re-classifying the dead horse as "living impaired".
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding to increase dead horse's performance.
10. Rewriting the expected performance requirement for all horses.
11. Promoting the dead horse to supervisory position.

Dear friend, you feel like giving up! Let me encourage you today.

God’s silence is not an indication of God’s unwillingness to meet your need. God’s silences serve to test our faith and to remind us that He operates on a different schedule than we do.

Take heart today, dear friends! There is hope! Today might be the day when the Master responds to your cries. Today might be the day when you see that mountain moved in your life. Today might be the day when you come to Him and call on Him to be saved. Today might be the day when God speaks in your soul and says, “It’s going to be all right! I’ve taken care of it.” Today might be the day when His peace replaces your pain and you get the help you need.
Bring that need to Him again today. Bring it with faith in your hear that He will hear you; that He will help you and He will fix it. Bring it to Him and place it in His hands. Watch Him take it and make it as it ought to be. You say, “but brother, you don’t understand how big my problem is.” That is true, I don’t know what you need or where you are today; but I know a God Who can meet you where you are and help you get what you need today.

Regardless of what you need today, you can come to Jesus and you can get it. Even if you have sought Him for it in the past and received no answer, today might be the day when He says, “Be it unto thee even as thou wilt.” Has He spoken to you today? Get to Him and get what you need from Him. He is an awesome God. May His name be praised forever and ever!

*🛐MORNING PRAYER IN THE FACE OF REJECTION🛐*

My whole life I’ve searched for a love to satisfy the deepest longings within me to be known, treasured, and wholly accepted.

When You created me, Lord, Your very first thought of me made Your heart explode with a love that set You in pursuit of me. Your love for me was so great that You, the God of the whole universe, went on a personal quest to woo me, adore me, and finally grab hold of me with the whisper, “I will never let you go.

Lord, I release my grip on all the things I was holding on to, preventing me from returning Your passionate embrace. I want nothing to hold me but You. So, with breathless wonder, I give You all my faith, all my hope, and all my love.
I picture myself carrying the old, torn- out boards that inadequately propped me up and placing them in a pile.

This pile contains other things I can remove from me now that my new intimacy- based identity is established.

I lay down my need to understand why things happen the way they do.
I lay down my fears about others walking away and taking their love with them.

I lay down my desire to prove my worth.
I lay down my resistance to fully trust Your thoughts, Your ways, and Your plans, Lord.

I lay down being so self- consumed in an attempt to protect myself.

I lay down my anger, unforgiveness, and stubborn ways that beg me to build walls when I sense hints of rejection.

I lay all these things down with my broken boards and ask that Your holy fire consume them until they become weightless ashes.

And as I walk away, my soul feels safe. Held. And truly free to finally be me. Amen.

Things that Kill Marriages

[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: What can kill marriage
1. Lack of Forgiveness
There is no marriage without issues. The success of your marriage depends on your ability to exercise forgiveness.
Learn to extend forgiveness because it’s critical to harmony. Instead of obsessing about how you’ve been wronged, treat your spouse how God treats you. “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 2. Money/Mbesa/Mbecha/Pesa
This is one of the biggest killers of marriage...and this is what the Bible says:
“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:10)

"Financial pressures and very different or even opposing financial styles — spending versus saving, risk versus reward — can sabotage a marriage even more effectively than sexual issues or even fundamental differences such as whether to have children or not."
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 3. Infidelity
The grass looks green across the fence..this again is one of the biggest problems that we have as a people..there is so much infidelity even in the church. People are sleeping around left right and centre...and women and men are sleeping together even when they know they are married...the upsurge of mwk..mpango wa kando..side kicks or is it chick?
Lust always leads to infidelity of the heart, mind, and body. No sexual experience outside of marriage is okay. God will never lead you to fall in love with someone other than your spouse. “You shall not commit adultery.” (Exodus 20:14)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 4. Insecurity and Worry
Take your eyes off the world and its illusion of happiness; you will never find peace from anyone or anything the world offers you. Trust in the Lord. “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow.” (Matthew 6:32-33)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 5. Secret Sins
If you hide a sinful fantasy or habit, it will grow stronger; pretending something doesn’t exist or isn’t wrong gives it greater power over your life. “You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.” (Psalm 90:8)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 8. Selfishness
We all look out for ourselves, especially when someone challenges our desires. Begin considering your spouse’s perspective first; winning an argument only weakens your marriage. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves.” (Philippians 2:23)
There is therefore need for some compromise..."One of the most overlooked reasons why marriages fail is how people define compromise. While compromise is considered to be the cornerstone of any relationship, most people assume that means that some of the time, each partner gets what they want. Actually, the true definition of compromise in the context of marriage is that neither party gets what they really want. Marriage is tough. You have to be …
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: [19/05 20:13] Kyalo: 6. Children
The presence or lack of children has made marriages collapse. It is your responsibility never to allow anything to break your covenant.
The Bible is the best parenting source available; seek to follow Christ and point your kids toward Christ, and parenting details will fall into place. “Do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4)
[19/05 20:14] Kyalo: 7. Interference from Others
A marriage with more than one person is a crowd...it is this crowd that keeps interfering with marriages and causing rifts between couples.
Dysfunctional or controlling relatives and friends will put tremendous pressure on your family unit; seek God’s wisdom and perspective about h…
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 9. Entitlement Mentality
Self-pity, disillusionment, and frustration come from an “I-deserve-this” attitude. Watch for these feelings—the core problem is self-worship. “You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” (James 4:2-3)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 10. Spiritual and Emotional Immaturity
Maturity takes a lifetime, so give your spouse room to grow without ridiculing or reprimanding for him/her for immaturity. Surround your marriage with godly, mature role models. “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things.”(Philippians 3:14-15)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 11. Grief and Depression
Lack of support during such moments leads to collapse of marriages...Everyone goes through periods of grief and sadness; be supportive and understanding when your spouse is sad, by gently guiding him/her toward help. “Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief.” (Psalm 31:9)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 12. Greed
This is one major factor driving corruption in our country...and it kills marriages too
You were created to be satisfied only in God’s presence. Don’t feed grief because the things you want will not satisfy you. “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to one and despise the other.” (Luke 16:13)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 13. Shame
Some spouses keep rubbing it in...to hurt you.
God’s Spirit convicts us when we sin; He doesn’t shame us for our mistakes. Embrace that fact that Jesus’ grace will set you free from the shame you feel. “I live in disgrace all day long and my face is covered with shame.” (Psalm 44:15)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 14. Anger
I am aware of some of us who walked out of good marriages coz you could not manage or control your anger.
If you have a short fuse, you need to find out why and stop making excuses. Get help to overcome this destructive and addictive habit. “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.” (Ephesians 4:31)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 15. Dishonesty
Some marriages were founded on deceit from the beginning. Never lie, mislead, or deceive your spouse; don’t keep secrets because it will drive a wedge between you. Plus, one falsehood always births another one. “Do not lie to each other.” (Colossians 3:9)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 16. Worldliness/Ungodliness
When your hearts pines for recognition, wealth, and beauty, you will believe that your worth is attached to who you are and what you do; and the more you doubt your worth, the more you will find your spouse to be unsatisfactory. “Teaching us, that denying all ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.” (Titus 2:12)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 18. Past Disappointments
Some spouses do not have capacity to take in disappointments and opt to walk out.
 “Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” (Psalm 42:5)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 19. Different Priorities/Value System
A marriage founded on different belief and value systems is likely to collapse.
 “How can a young person stay on a path to purity? By living according to your word? I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.” (Psalm 119:10-11)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 20. Self-image/Low Self-Esteem
This again is very common..and people who suffer from this cannot sustain a marriage.
If you suffer from low self-esteem, the solution is not to love yourself more—it’s to love God and thank Him for His ongoing work in your life. Let God transform you into His image; embrace your process, instead of comparing yourself to others. “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14)
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 21. The internet:
"There are many ways to cheat using the internet. One example I call cyber-straying involves covertly looking up old flames and high school sweethearts, despite being (supposedly happily) married to someone else. Curiosity compromises trust, and secrets are relationship saboteurs.The key to resisting temptation is to avoid it. Use Facebook to keep up with family and close friends, not shadow your high school flame. And reflect your marital status in your social media profiles to avoid old flames reaching out to you."
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 22. Lost attraction/Attactiveness:
"No amount of counseling or talking through a problem is going to fix broken attraction. If one or both partners gains a lot of weight, loses passion, or changes significantly in some way, it is going to impact the romantic connection, turning marriage into a roommate or friendship situation. This leads to romantic temptations that often end marriages. I believe this is one of the main issues couples face but nobody wants to discuss, because it seems 'shallow' to suggest physical attraction and romantic chemistry might be important even after years of marriage, and many therapists themselves are in 'dead bedroom' scenarios and don't know how to adequately help couples."
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 23. Lack of Manners:
Or lack of it...has caused many marriages to die. We have spouses who are just too mannerless...
Even when things get tense, frustrating, or busy, I cannot stress enough how important it is to be polite and courteous toward your spouse. This is the person you are sharing your home, finances, and life with, yet people continue to treat their co-workers and friends with more decency than they do the person they marry. A simple 'please' or 'thank you' really can go a long way, and is one of the easiest things to do.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 24. Financial Infidelity:
I had talked about finances...but this one is similar but slightly different. You hide stuff from your spouse..lie on expenditures, hide money in secret bank accounts and always pretend to be broke.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 25. Failing to Seek Therapy
You go venting to friends and family instead of a Therapist: "When we're upset with our partner, it's all to easy to call a friend or family member to vent. Don't do it! Your friends and family will often take your side and in the end look at your partner in a negative light. They may not hear the whole story, just your perspective, and give you advice that negatively affects your relationship. Set boundaries with others, including friends, in-laws, and children. Don't share personal details of your relationship, such as fights or your sex life, with others s. If you feel the need to speak with someone about your issues, seek out a therapist. Therapist are neutral parties who will not take sides."

That is why we have madam @Grace Kariuki here...to help walk with you when you need therapy
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 26. Differing Love Languages:
I guess many of us have read Dr. Gary Chapman's book: The 5 Love Languages... to help couples learn and speak the language of their spouse. We all have a predominant love language: quality time, acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch, or gift giving. When someone speaks our language, we feel loved. Some marriages have dies coz you have differing love languages...like Greek and Kamba😅
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 27. Marriage Focused on Wedding:
Too much focus on the wedding at the expense of the marriage kills marriages. Too many couples spend their time planning a wedding and not planning their marriage. They don't invest enough time talking about their expectations for the future. They don't discuss important issues like budgeting, family boundaries, children, and priorities. Instead, they spend their time talking about wedding favors, caterers, and guest lists. If people invested more time into planning their future together as a couple, they could address their expectations and adjust their plans to meet one another's needs.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 28. You married for the wrong reasons:
Marrying for the wrong reasons, like for the money or settling to not be alone, leads to an unstable foundation. At some point, the couple will realize they aren't compatible or one might start to love themselves more and want to be with someone who fulfills their needs as they start to value themselves.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 29. No Chemistry/Compatibility:
You did not share basic core beliefs, values, and agendas. Chemistry is what sweeps people off their feet in the beginning, but you need to be compatible with one another if you're going to make it over the long haul.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 30. Untreated Mental Illness:
This includes someone who is depressed, anxious, schizophrenic, or bipolar.... it is extremely difficult to maintain a relationship because the individual's emotions can be random. It can be a great strain on a person without the mental illness to accommodate that in their partner.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 31. Mediocre/Bad Sex/Too Much Sex:
You got married expecting sex 24/7...great sex...and then you were met with the 1 second episodes. We cannot underestimate the power and importance of sex. It is the glue that sticks couples together. Some marriages have died due to sex related issues.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 32. No Courtship:
After taking each other home, the chase stops and esp the wife feels neglected. Marriage becomes so manual. Manual marriages can survive but through kuvumilia...forbearance. When life gets busy, it's easy to lose sight of each other and forget about scheduling date night and time together. All intimate relationships need periodic and regular tune-in time to talk and reconnect.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 33. One Sided Growth:
Some people have outgrown their spouses and chose to walk out instead of helping each other to grow - academically, careerwise etc.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 35. All Destructive Hobby:
These hobbies can be soccer, politics, dancing, hanging out with buddies or golf. By the time s/he came back there was no marriage.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 34. Careers Come First:
Couples are too busy to in their offices and missing in each other's lives. Couples often invest all of their time into their careers while neglecting their relationship with their partner. When this happens, resentment begins to build within one or both partners. Most couples don't have the tools needed to work through these resentments, which often lead to feeling disconnected and detached. This disconnection due to not keeping the relationship a priority will quickly lead to marriage failure.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 36. Big Life Change:
Crises of any kind — death of a loved one, loss of a job, illness, moving, natural disasters, etc. — are emotionally stressful situations and can add strain to or even end a marriage. Ideally, these situations would find a couple drawing closer, becoming supportive and comforting each other, but too often the opposite occurs. The couple grows apart in their grief and depression.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 37. Prioritizing Kids Over Spouse:
You are aware that some marriages went south coz esp mothers focus on the kids and neglect their spouses...
A couple's inability to switch from 'parent' mode to 'couple' mode after kids are born can damage the relationship. When a couple has children, usually the first thing to go is together time. Most parents expend the majority of their energy on the kids, work and home, leaving little time and interest in their spouse. This lack of interest often leads to alienation and can leave one or both spouses feeling alone. Feelings of loneliness and inattentiveness can lead to infidelity, depression and/or frustration causing a demise in the relationship.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 39. Attitude Over Gratitude:
We know that your attitude determines your altitude. When we feel valued in a relationship, we don't tend to leave. Simple words, like 'thank you,' can have a powerful effect in making a person feel appreciated for his/her unique strengths, talents, and values.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 40. You Got married too young:
Some people got married to run away from something and had no idea what they were getting themselves into coz of age. By the time you came to terms with what marriage entails you were already a wife but could not take it any more...age here is relative
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 41. Unrealistic Expectations:
People enter relationships with preset beliefs about how they expect their relationship to be. Often, these expectations come from the models they saw in their family of origin or from previous relationships. When expectations are not communicated and therefore not met, huge disappointment can result. Often the person, feeling sad and disappointed, will convey those feelings through passive aggressive behavior which leads to resentment.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 42. Unresolved Childhood Issues:
We offload our childhood baggage to your spouse and blame him or her for your issues.  Understanding your own and your partner's past and how it plays a role can help resolve issues.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 43. Culture of Instant Gratification:
We live in an on-demand culture that teaches us we should get what we want immediately. In a marriage, this often manifests as each partner putting way more emphasis on their own needs versus the needs of the other. However, if you focus on putting your partner's needs first, you're in a better position to get your needs met (unless you are married to a narcissist).
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 44. Contract Not Covenant:
Marriage is often seen as a contract rather than a covenant. Because of this, people leave out of their own displeasure too early, opting out the way they would out of a business arrangement. A covenant, however, implies a different value set, and a key to keeping marriages intact is to recognize the higher importance of their marriage covenant.
[09:23, 11/7/2019] Love Dee SM: 45. Fear of Pain:
Marriages are at times full of pain and there are people who walk out once they experience some form of pain..not the pain of abuse etc...just the normal challenges.

God is Messing me up for a Message

God is Messing me up for a Message 

Just before I left for work, she calls out!
"Mommy, Moooommmyy, come see!"

I rush to the living room.
The sight! Oh my Lord! Not when am about to leave for work!

Am tempted to lash out but I hold back!

"Baby girl, you made a mess! why?"
She says, "See, I made a big big mess! see! It looks like stars of God! See!"

I can't see any stars, only a big mess and a whole clean up before I leave... and a tick tock clock that reminds me of the traffic am about to run into.

Then I thought to myself, "Lord I have never seen this many stars in a mess! Could you be having a message for me that I need to hear?"

...as I drove to work, He had a message for me..

A message from your mess!

See, we think that the Lord's message always comes crisp clean to us. No messes. Just white linen dipped in lavender!
Yet, God has to make a mess out of you for His message to be born!

He loves the messy marriages to prove that indeed He can restore what no man can! TIME!
He loves the messed hearts, to prove that He can restore and create new hearts altogether.

He loves the messed family relationships to prove that beyond any doubt, He can restore and mend the broken bridges.

He loves the broken roads to prove that He make a way where there seems to be no way.
He loves the patched hearts and souls to prove that He can make us lie down in green pastures once more.
He makes a message out of any mess!

Instead of being myopic as I was this morning, ask the Lord to teach you and give you His message through any mess you could be going with!

Yes there are "many stars of God in that mess! you just have to see through the eyes of the Lord!"

HOW DO YOU LEAD??

A young man saw his primary school teacher at a wedding ceremony.
He went to greet him with all respect and admiration!!

He said to him:
"Can you still recognize me Sir?'

'I don't think so!!', said the Teacher, 'could you please remind me how we met?'

The student recounted:
 "I was your Student in the 3rd Grade, I stole a Wrist watch belonging to my then classmate because it was unique and fascinating.
     
My Classmate came to you crying that his Wrist Watch had been stolen and you ordered all Students in the class to stand on a straight line, facing the wall with our hands up and our eyes closed so you could check our pockets. At this point, I became jittery and terrified of the outcome of the search. The shame I will face after other Students discovered that I stole the Watch, the opinions my Teachers will form about me, the thought of being named a ' thief' till I leave the School and my Parents' reaction when they get to know about my action. All these thoughts flowing across my heart, when suddenly it was my turn to be checked. I felt your hand slipped into my pocket and you brought out the Watch. I was gripped with fear,  expecting the worse to be announced. I was surprised I didn't hear anything, but Sir, you continued searching other Students' pockets till you got to the last person.

When the search was over, you asked us to open our eyes and sit on our Chairs. I was afraid to sit because I was thinking you will call me out soon after everyone was seated.

But to my amazement, you showed the watch to the class, gave it to the owner and you never mentioned the name of the one who stole the watch.
You didn't say a word to me, and you never mentioned the story to anyone.

Throughout my stay in the school, no Teacher or Student knew what happened. This incident naturally taught me a great lesson and I resolved in my heart never to get myself involved in taking whatever is not mine.    
I thought to myself, you saved my dignity."

"Do you remember the story now Sir? You can't simply forget this story Sir!!"

The teacher replied, ' I vividly remember the story that I found the Watch in a pocket but i did not know in whose pocket the stolen Watch was found that day because I searched your pockets while I also had my eyes  closed."

In life, we need wisdom for everything we do. As Parents, Teachers, Leaders etc... We should be able to close our eyes to some things. Not all misbehaviour require punishment. Some will need encouragement, some mentoring and some monitoring. Be a Leader who impacts not one who shatters.

SEX IS FOOD

SEX IS FOOD!!! A must read...

Sex is not all about making children. You must be a different woman to your husband every time. Seduce your husband, don't always allow your husband to ask for Sex, there must be no timetable for sex. Be creative, don't be predictable. Give him what he wants. If you loose influence over your husband, you have lost womanhood. Be part of your husband plans.
Don't have too many children, you wanna sell them ? Allow your husband to check in and out anytime.
When a man is sexually satisfied, he is emotionally stable. Stop saying, is it food ? Yes, sex is food !!!
As a wife, try to invest in yourself spiritually so you can adequately support him. Build yourself as his prayer warrior so that you will not be forced to pray at the end of your life. Don't allow your husband to provide all your needs, he is not a money making machine. Iron sharpens iron, try to reciprocate.
You are meant to support each other spiritually, financially, physically and morally through thick and thin. You are a builder....Wise woman buildeth her home. Women need wisdom to build their homes. Do not be too outspoken, know when to talk, when to listen and when to be quiet.
Love your husband with all your heart, never tell him, if not because of my children, remember you've known him before the arrival of those children.
Pamper your husband, put his head on your chest and pray for him. Give him unannounced kiss from the back.... mwahhhhhh, don't be too holy to kiss in the public. He is your husband for God sake. Be romantic joooo, it is good for the heart. Some people are not happy that you're happy in that marriage, proof them wrong that you love him and he is your crown, always feel good when you hold him. Don't look 50 while you're still under 40, it drives men crazy. Always keep fit regardless of your age or body.

To men:
Do not take a woman who does all these for granted!
Pamper her, pray for her, cherish her, love her, support her financially, make her feel like your woman! God bless you and your marriages.

Principles of Politics

Understand the principles of politics.

In politics you must understand that;

1. Nobody has your interests.

2. Everybody is chasing their own interests.

3. Dealing with politicians is like sleeping with tigers; you must always have your eyes wide open.

4. In any political equation, there's always someone being used. If you can't find one then it is you.

5. Serving politicians is like being a bandage on a wound. Once the wound is healed your usefulness ends. Politicians don't recognize and reward value they recognize their own needs....and you are only as useful as the lifespan of their need for you.

6. In politics never wail more than the bereaved. They will get the reward while you inherit their enemies. Baba is eating today while Miguna is wailing from Canada.

7. In politics, in any event that other interests conflict with your own interests and you have to choose, always choose yours.

8. Never cross oceans for politicians; you will drown and the best they will do is give a benevolent speech at your burial, lie to your widow and children and eat your food. You are lucky if they don't eat your widow too. Politicians will never cross the streets for their foot soldiers.

9. Only Jesus can die for people and you are not Jesus.

10. Above all, family and health are things you should never use to attack a man.

Submitting to God totally

Submit to God
Keys to victory
James 4:7-8
” 7 So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.

A mother ordered her disobedient son to sit in a corner. After a couple of minutes of sitting, the boy told his mother, “I’m sitting down on the outside, but I’m standing up on the inside!”

Can one obey without submitting? I think the young man in the story above clearly illustrates that yes one can seemingly obey yet they have not submitted. To obey is an outward action that people see but submission has to do with the heart and attitude. You can obey but with a rotten attitude is that then submission?

To submit is to yield to a higher force or to the will or authority of another. If you and I want to walk in victory then the first place to start is in the place of submission to the authority of God over our lives. We have to accept that His ways are higher than ours and that His will is superior to ours. You and I have to willingly live our life according to His direction and instruction and everything we do has to stem from the drive of wanting to fulfill His purpose even when it hurts or does not make sense. Like Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane we have to come to the place we say not my will by thine be done!
God does not want to force us into submitting because then though we would obey our hearts would not be in it. Our submission to his authority has to be willful it has to be a personal decision out of which then we walk in obedience without having someone with a stick following us all the time to make sure we do it.

To submit to the authority of God is not a place of weakness neither is it a position of oppression. This is a place of victory a place where we can now effectively fight the enemy of our souls, the devil. It is not just a place of victory but a place of guaranteed victory each time every time.
Submit yourself therefore to God!

Reflections.
What does submitting to the authority of God look like to you?
__________________________________

What’s the difference of submit and subject? Could you have confused submit and subject?
__________________________________

Do you submit only when it is convenient or at all times even when you don’t understand what God is doing?

It is Just Life

It is Just Life

When life happens , You should happen too
When life plays you should dance
When life laughs , you laugh the loudest
When Life cries , cry too and let Go
When life claps, treat yourself and clap too
When life wins, celebrate too
When life looses, count the loss and learn too

God Speaks to Each one

A young man attended a Wednesday Night Bible Study and the Pastor preached about listening to GOD and
obeying the Lord's voice. The young man couldn't help but ponder, 'Does GOD still speak to people?'
After service, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message.
They talked about how GOD had led them in different ways.
It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home, and he prayed; ' GOD...If you still speak to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.' As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, GOD is that you?' He didn't get a reply and started on toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk came. The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of GOD, and how little Samuel ran to Eli. 'Okay, GOD, in case that is you, I will buy the milk.' It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.
As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, 'Turn Down that street.' This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street .At the next intersection; he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud,’ Okay, GOD I will.' He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi- commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed. Again, he sensed something, 'Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street' The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat 'Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid.' Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk. Finally, he opened the door, 'Okay GOD, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something, but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here.' He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, 'Who is it? What do you want?’ Then the door opened before the young man could get away. The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. 'What is it?' The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, Here, I brought this to you.' The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk towards the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face. The man began speaking and half crying, 'We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk.
His wife in the kitchen yelled out, 'I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an angel?
The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man’s hand. He turned and walked back to his car and the tears were streaming down his face. He knew that GOD still answers prayers.
If you believe that GOD is alive and well, send this to at least ten people. This is an easy test -you score 100 or zero. It's your choice. If you aren’t ashamed to do this, please follow the direction. JESUS said” If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.

Don't share this because you want a miracle.

Share to help a brother believe in prayer. It is a blessing to do God's work.

Amen

Ultimately The Good Man

Ultimately The Good Man -WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A GOOD MAN:

When a man treats his woman right, there is a reason why. The reason could be:-

1. "He doesn't want to be like his father"
If his father was a drunkard, unfaithful, a wife beater and irresponsible; the man grew up vowing to be different, never to sink as low as his father did, to counter his dad's actions. The father treated his mother like trash, but he treats his woman like a Queen

2. "His father set a good example"
The man's father could have modelled what a great man, husband, father, worker and friend looks like. As the man does good he refers to his father, his role model. Fathers, set the right example for your sons to follow

3. "Finding a woman is an answered prayer"
If the man used to genuinely pray for a woman to love, he will love on that woman when God sends her his way. Hurting her will be hurting himself

4. "He grew up with loving sisters"
A man who grows up loving his sister/s and respecting the females in his life, he learns how to relate with people of the opposite sex and that prepares him on how to relate with the number one woman in his life

5. "The pain of an ex"
A man who was cheated on, hurt and heart broken by his ex will most likely protect his woman from the pain his ex made him go through. Because he knows how it hurts to be messed up by a lover, he will not mess up his love

6. "Lessons from regret"
If a man once felt bad letting a good woman slip away, if he gets another chance to love that same good woman or a new good woman, he will not be foolish again

7. "An act of God"
God shapes people, God can turn a man into a great man regardless of the man's past. A good man can be moulded into an even better man, a wrong man can be transformed into an attractive and loving man who unlearns how to hurt women and learns how to be there for a woman

8. "Appreciation for his single mother"
A man who grew up with a single mother and an absent father, he tends to honour his mother. He appreciates the sacrifice his mum went through and sees the suppressed desire the mum had for a man in her life. His single mother raised him to be a good man and a good husband, when he gets a woman he will love that woman with the love he wishes his mother had

9. "The right exposure"
A man exposed to great men tends to be great. If a man is surrounded by uncles, friends, and colleagues who treat their wives well he will be challenged to treat his well. Lady, if your man is treating you badly, check out his friends. Iron sharpens iron, cheats encourage cheats

10. "He loves her"
Ultimately, when a man genuinely treats his woman well it is because he loves her, even his ego bows to the power of love

HUSBAND TELL YOUR WIFE I LOVE YOU

A group of husbands gathered at a conference on "How to live in a loving relationship with your wife".
They were asked: "How many of you love your wives?"
All raised their hands. Then they were asked, "When was the  last time you told your wife you loved her ?" Some men answered: "Today", some: "yesterday", The majority didn’t remember.
The men were then told to take their cell phones and send the following text to their respective wives: "I love you sweetheart".
Then the men were asked to exchange phones so one can read the response each wife had sent. Here are some of the replies:
1. "Have you impregnated someone again?"
2. "That was then, not now".
3. "I know you want to borrow money from me again. Forget it!"
4. "What have you done again? I won’t forgive you this time!
5. What do you mean?"
6. "Is that a name of a new song?"
7. "Am I dreaming! "
8. "If you don’t tell me who this message is actually for, you will die today!"
9. "I asked you to stop drinking!"
10. "May I know who is this?"
11. "You should start seeing your psychiatrist again! This is not a good sign!".
12. "Who gave you air time?"
13. "What do you want?"
14. "Is your mother coming to live with us again?"
---------------------
Men in this group learn to tell your wives "I love you"!.
It keeps marriages healthy.
