PREPARING TO MEET THE KING  =============================== I was in a class few months ago in which our instructor taught us about one type of soap formulation meant for just bride to be. The intending bride makes use of this soap months to her big day. The soap helps to soften and moisturize the skin. That's one of the few things a bride, I mean a wise one may want to consider before her big day.  No bride would appear before her man unkempt, tattered and disorganized. Every bride makes adequate preparation for her big day. It catches her unaware.  =============================== "When it was Esther's turn to go to the king (Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had adopted her as his daughter), she asked for nothing other than what Hegai, the king's eunuch in charge of the harem, had recommended. Esther, just as she was, won the admiration of everyone who saw her. "Esther 2:15 THE MAKING  The decree had been made because Queen Vashti misbeh

A SLOW FADE  The other day, I saw a movie where a lady who was doing wonderfully well in ministry started engaging in secret sins. Instead of her to check her life and make amendments, she was going about encouraging young ladies never to engage in those things she was secretly doing.  She didn't open up to anyone even when God sent people to her. She continued as if everything was alright.  She found mercy at the verge of death, though she lost her life.  The same could be said of the young man, Samson.  The fall of Samson didn't start the same day Delilah sold him out through his secrets. It all started when Samson decided to go in with a harlot. He didn't know what it means to be a Nazarite. He thought he could do what everyone was doing and still get away with it. He thought he was actually having fun.  Samson was still able to discharge power as usual even after going in with a harlot. He could still do the same thing he used to do.

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL Moral to the story : Learn and live well.  A caution: Stubbornness shuts the door on understanding..  The BIG Question :What type of man best suits me?  The reason a good portion of your thoughts are wrapped up in thinking about certain men and the hopes of marriage is because you were hard-wired with the overwhelming need to be a wife and mother. It is a God-given need that only a man can fulfill. I can't think of one thing I would rather have than a man to really love me. It is supreme. A lovely person is easy to love. That is our goal. God wants us to make you become a lovely help meet. To be a good one takes effort… lots of effort.  In this chapter, Debi Pearl outlined the different types of women we have: Dreamer gal, Servant girl, Go-to Gals. Dreamer girl  A dreamer girl needs to know how to balance work with family or else she will sway from her responsibility to honour her husband.  Girls

Michael and Debi Pearl PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL Moral to the story: The wife to a King must learn to serve him with Honour A caution: Don't be offended at his lack of serving or helping you in the mundane things of life. Kingly men show little tolerance for those around them who are dragging their feet, making excuses, or whining about their lot in life. As a rule, Kingly men tend to end up in a place of authority over other people. If you should marry a King, you must be prepared to give him honour and reverence on a daily basis if you want him to be a benevolent, honest, strong and fulfilled man of God. Every king wants a Queen. What to expect if you marry a King A kingly man expects his wife to wait on him hand and foot. If you are blessed to win the favour of a strong, forceful, bossy man, then it is very important for you to learn how to serve with joy. Kingly men are not as intimate or vulnerable as other me

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET  PRIEST-NATURED MAN (CHAPTER  4) MORAL TO THE STORY : The wife of a priest-type needs to be as active helping others as her husband is. This will bring him honour. A CAUTION : A priest's desire is to please. Your impatience or unthankfulness can destroy his vision for serving others, as well as destroy your health. "You may marry a man that is priestly in nature. He will be the most steady and easygoing of the three types, not given to extremes. The steady nature of the priest is reflected in his tendency not to make snap decisions or spend his last dime on a new idea;  nor does he try to tell other people what to do. This man is content with the wife of his youth." Debi Pearl If you marry a priest-natured man,  he won't force you to obey his will, he won't mount pressure on you in achieving some feats. He will love you to go at your pace. You will never be pres

I could go on and on.  The deed had been done. Naomi lost her two sons and her husband in a strange land. There was nothing left to still be doing in such a land. She had to go back to her native land, Bethlehem: The house of bread. Ruth and Oprah wanted to go with her but with a little persuasion, Oprah went back. It is t
