Proverbs  12:11" He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding".Proverbs  13:11 "Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase".   Most People who suffer from this kind of attack work very hard all the time but never gather much.

 Preparing for marriage. Pt 4 In today's talk we will consider  sex before  marriage (The Bible's stand) There is no Hebrew or Greek word used in the Bible that precisely refers to sex before marriage. The Bible clearly  condemns adultery and sexual immorality, but is sex before marriage considered sexually immoral? According to  1 Corinthians 7:2 , "yes" (Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband). It's important to understand that marriage is not the cure to marital unfaithfulness.  References to sexual experiences in the Bible are sometimes defined as “he knew his wife.” To know, in this context, is to know intimately through sexual experience. Regrettably, for those who experience sex before marriage, it is impossible to un-know what is known. Sexual experiences cannot be undone. Each time we engage in premarital sex, we add additional emotional weight to our lives, and it’s diff...

Preparing for marriage part 3. Preparing oneself for marriage biblically is the same as preparing for any life endeavor. Preparation they say prevents  poor performance. In our last edition we looked at the need for desire.To drive it a bit further today we examine the need for  commitment to God and your spouse. These trait is most evident in a person who has an intimate relationship with God. As you prepare yourself for marriage, focus on allowing God to shape you and mold you into the man or woman He wants you to be ( Romans 12:1-2 ). If you submit yourself to Him, He will enable you to be ready for marriage when that wonderful day arrives. it's wrong to pray for the right person in marriage without asking God to make you the right person. What commitment is!  1)Commitment is the willingness to do whatever it will take for your marriage to excel or be blissful. (2) commitment is forgetting your right to allow your spouse have his/her right of way. Research s...

  GOD OF ALL POSSIBILITIES   Luke 1:35-37"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. He's a God whose natural habitat or dwelling is the realm of the things that leave us with a sense of shock, surprise, wonder and amazement.  In Genesis 17:1, He introduced Himself as "the Almighty God"(El-shadai); meaning He has the capacity and capability to do all things. To prove this fact, Isaac was conceived and given birth to when Abraham and Sarah were 100 years and 90 years respectively.  Before Him, what appears impossible before men disappears and trembles.  In Genesis 18:14, He asks, "Is any thing...
