LEARN FROM APOSTLE JOSEPH AYO BABALOLA'S MARITAL EXPERIENCE

THE SAD EXPERIENCE OF APOSTLE AYO BABALOLA.


Pastor Joseph Ayo babalola is the founder of CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH. He was a widely known man of God with amazing healing powers. He is well known for going to the mountain for a number of days praying for people and relating with God for more powers to heal his people and brings prophetic messages from God to his people. He is known for the use of water for healing. He prays on water and gives instructions on how to use it. He was a great a man of God.

But sadly according to his subordinate who succeeded him, Prophet Babalola had one problem.

"His known mistake was his choice of wife. History has it that the woman he truly loved was a single mother, but the elders of CAC considered it an embarrassment for their leader to marry a single mother. Hence, they misled him to marry the spinster who later became the thorn in his flesh. Her name was Dorcas. A Christian name is not the same with a Christian at heart.

A WOMAN IN A CHRISTIAN HOME

 

A woman in a christian home is a special being who has a lot of responsibility in supporting the man, making sure the home does not fail at all cost.
As the name implies, women are part of men, that is one of the main reason why a woman should not be alone just like the way God saw that Adam was alone and decided to get him a helpmeet, so also the woman is expected to be around a man and not to exist independently. The design and life cycle of a woman is to be overseen by a man either in capacity of a father or an husband. This justifies why a father hands over the woman (bride) to the man (groom) at the point of wedding. The transfer of this role is very important shift which symbolizes marriage.
In marriage, the woman plays a lot of roles all in the name of it not getting spoilt or permit me to say a vacuum must not be left. A woman in the home is a wife, a mother first to her husband then children, a prayer warrior and partner, a friend, a lover(trust me there are times we don't feel like loving cos of what we get), a banker, a home maker, a teacher, a care giver, nutritionist, a helpmeet, a sister, a daughter (cos there are times she just need to humble herself completely even when she is right), these are very few among many but the  holy spirit will reveal to the woman who wants to be a complete woman roles she need to pick up in her home along the way.

LOVE AS A FLOWER

Love is like a flower, if not tended, it will look malnourished and eventually may die. You plant a flower with an end in mind. For example, you have this perfect picture of how you want your garden to look and you get the desired flower plant to help you achieve that aim. At first, the flower or plant you got won't look like the end you have in mind but that does not discourage you because you believe with time it will turn out to be your dream flower and beautify your garden. You water it, you prune it when necessary, you make sure it gets adequate sunlight and water, you even watch out for whatever may want to feed on it like pest and animals.

9 THINGS A CHRISTIAN YOUNG LADY SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR IN A MAN BEFORE SAYING 'YES'.

As a single lady, most time you image what your home would look like, having a perfect man as a husband, but most ladies make the mistake of believing that a man will be completely perfect without any down side, but this is not possible in the real sense. There is no perfect marriage anywhere (particularly from the scratch), you work it out. You play your part individually to make it perfect!

Meanwhile, a young lady should look out for these 9 qualities in a man before saying YES to his proposal as she prayerfully searches for a life partner, if you apply these, you will save yourself a lot of trouble and unnecessary prayer.

1. Emotional maturity

How well his he able to control his impulse when argument becomes tough between you two? Look for a man who is able to calm himself during stress, disappointment and pressure; a man who would rather not unleash his annoyance on you during this time. He should be able to attend to issues as they come and proffer positive solutions. He must be able to confront challenges in a steady and responsively manner.

PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE, THE GENERAL OVERSEER OF THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD SHARES HIS OPINION ON MAKE-UP, JEWELRY AND WIGS.

Speaking to his children, (Church members during the 64th edition of the church's annual convention tagged AMEN 2016.

Below is the details of what he said:

The elders have a say, if children of the same mother enters into a room to talk and come out smiling, they have not told each other the truth, Alright so in the next 3 minutes, you might not be smiling, because am going to tell you the truth, because am your daddy, strictly speaking, and I have searched the scripture, there is nowhere that I have found where it is written, if you wear make-up, you will go to hell or you will not make it to heaven, I can’t find it in the bible, no where at all, but I have done my own research, there are two places in the whole bible where references were made to painting of face, only two places, and the two places are bad. One of the places talked about Jezebel. How many of you will name your daughter Jezebel? 2 kings,9:30, the day Jezebel was going to die, she did make up properly, painted her face, dented her face with jewelries, but at the end of the day, dog ate her.

The second place is in Jeremiah 4: 29-30 where God was speaking in anger to daughters of Zion, He says when I make up my mind to deal with you, you can paint your face as you like, it is not going to deliver you, read it, you have your Bible to read. Those are the only two places I found, and they are terrible references.

MY PERSPECTIVE ON LOVE

Love is a conscious and deliberate decision to commit ones life in totality to the service of another. The word 'I LOVE YOU' is totally encompassing it does not only mean I admire, cherish, or like the way one looks or do things but it means one can do and endure everything with the other, go through tough and thin with the other, being willing and ready to face some unexpected challenges with the other and in the long run enjoy what life has to offer together. 

Not too many people understand that love don't just happen, it is a deliberate decision. One can be attracted to the other, like the other, be fond of another, or get infatuated with the other, but loving someone is a deliberate act that one gives into after a lot of consideration. This involves a 'one-in-all' decision,
