Realities and Truth

AGREEMENT IN RELATIONSHIP   Looking at last week’s topic of companionship, a scripture came to my mind Amos 3:3 KJV [3] Can two walk together, except they be agreed? This is the foundation for companionship. Two people can not walk together without agreeing to do so. There must be a common ground and a point of attraction in every relationship. Two are better than one if they are of the same kind. Their multiplier effect is felt more. You must identify your kind. A prey should not consider walking with its predator because it’s destiny will be choked or truncated sooner or later.   What is agreement? Agreement is harmony or accordance in opinion or feeling. it can also be defined as the act of coming to a mutual decision, position or arrangement. It is the situation in which people have the same opinion, or in which they approve of or accept something. For two to walk together in the journey of life, there has to be agreement on certain issues that will m...

COMPANIONSHIP  We read in the Bible how God created man and saw that it was not good for man to be alone. Hence He made a helpmeet of a woman for the man. One of the reasons God made Eve a helpmeet for the man Adam was for companionship. I looked up the word companionship in the dictionary. It says, a person or animal with  -WHOM ONE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME.  -A PERSON WHO SHARES THE EXPERIENCE OF ANOTHER, ESPECIALLY WHEN THINGS ARE UNPLEASANT OR UNWELCOME.  -ONE OF A PAIR INTENDED TO COMPLEMENT OR MATCH EACH OTHER.  Companionship can be found in a friend irrespective of the sex once you know your limit, but not all friends fit into the definition of companion. It's not every friend you spend time with or share experience with. Every marriage however must fit into these definitions. That is why you see that marriage involves some processes that friendship does not require. Spending time is commitment. Sharing experience is love. Matching each other is co...

OVERCOMING FEAR Fear is a trick of the enemy to keep you oppressed, suppressed and depressed. You are probably afraid because of what you have seen or heard, something you believe you can’t handle. Have you ever asked yourself, why am I afraid? Assuming you have a project to deliver    and you don’t have the capital to execute it before the dateline, you get apprehensive and lose your sleep because a lifetime opportunity is about to slip off. But when you know a Bank will handle it, you go to sleep because your fear is taken care of. You have a Father who is not only greater than the Bank but owns the whole world (Psalm 24:1) and gives you access to Himself 24/7. He’s always ready to carry your burden if you bring them to Him. So why are you afraid/agitated? The issue with most of us is that we weigh our issues with our strength. We look    at our capacity or capability instead of looking at the capability of God. This reminds me of a story in the Bible in 1Samuel...

There’s never a time to pray as this. We have been praying and it is obvious that our prayer is working for us. However, we need to intensify our prayer. No wonder Jesus said “men always ought to pray and not to faint.” We can not afford to fold our hands or faint    at a time as this, with the development all over the world. If we faint in the days of adversity, our strength is small.  IF WE DON’T PRAY, WE BECOME A PREY.  If we are willing to pray, there’s a God that is willing to answer. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV [14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. In the place of prayer, direction is given, help is secured and transformation takes place. Prayer is giving God permission to intervene in the affairs of men. You will agree with me that we need to give God permission to move in our lives ...
