IN MENTORING LADIES, BROTHERS GET COMMON SENSE BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI




IN MENTORING LADIES, BROTHERS GET COMMON SENSE BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

It is not uncommon to see many brothers who have many spiritual daughters. They are flocked with beautiful daughters. Everywhere you see them, you will always hear "my daughter". You might even mistake the lady in question for their fiancee.

Dear brother, your relationship must be defined with her or else, she might take things far beyond your thinking. 

I read a book recently on a brother who had a daughter he was mentoring. They were always found together. As you know that when two people are close and their relationship is not a defined one, infatuation may be built in the process. This lady in question fell in love with her so-called mentor. One thing led to the other and the lady had her way because the man in question was vulnerable. 

Not everyone you call daughter actually sees you as one. Some see you as prospective husband so the need to define relationships so as to avoid heartbreaking stories. 

And to you brother, God brought her to you to help, nurture and establish her you yet you don't give her breathing space. You are always over her.  You block her from meeting new people. You think you are helping her but you are not in the real sense. 

In mentoring a female as a man, know your boundaries. The other day, I saw a picture on a lady's phone where a guy was kissing a girl and she said the girl was his spiritual daughter. Who does that? I told her not to be deceived by that. Never play with her emotions, do what God asked you to do in her life and you will see that God will be able to entrust others into your hands. Jesus Christ was surrounded with so many women in his earthly ministry yet he never messed around with them. Receive strength to do same. 

And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. Luke  10:39

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL  THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray.  CAUTION: Don't pray amiss.  The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program  and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right?  God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning.  When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

THE PROPHET TYPE OF MAN (CHAPTER 3)

Give your man all the support he needs.  PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL THE PROPHET TYPE OF MAN (CHAPTER 3) Moral to the story: Be flexible for your man.  A caution : Your most important job as a prophet's wife is keeping chaste and common sense attitude and conversation (not bad-mouthing folks).  Without it, your marriage will be miserable.  In this chapter, Debi began to talk about the types of men we have. She divided them into the Prophet type, the Priest and the King. The first one we are considering today is the Prophet.  "As a man moves into his late twenties and early thirties his image will become much more pronounced." Debi Pearl  Your ability to know who your man is, what he wants and how to serve him will bring fulfillment and bliss to you.  Give your man all the supports he needs ranging from emotional to spiritual support.  "The prophet or visionary  type of  man are maj...
