These are various short articles written to guide youths especially singles on their marital journey. They are points that require deeper reflections! I hope they will bless your life.
Mind What You Eat!
“It is not everything that looks like food that is edible!”
Remember Adam & Eve! (Read Gen 2:15-17)
Don’t do what God ask you not to do!
Be wise!
That’s the Pill for today!
Love U!
Get This Right Before Marriage
If you don’t have anything doing, then you don’t need a “help meet.”
Adam had an assignment in the garden before a woman was introduced to her!
Bro, what are you doing? What’s your vision?
Sister, don’t follow a man that has no vision for his life!
(Bible passage: Genesis 2:8-17)
Marriage: Whose Idea?
It was God that said, “it is not good that man should be alone.”
So, Marriage was God’s Idea! He’s the author!
He created you, so, He knows what is right and best for you,
Wisdom demands that you allow Him to lead you in your choice of a life partner!
(Read Genesis 2: 18)
The Ultimate Search
Adam was searching for a wife among the animals while naming them
but he couldn’t get one! The bible Says there was no one comparable to him! He was searching for a “woman” among the animals! (Read Genesis 2: 18-20 NKJV).
Stop searching for a spouse in a wrong place!
To get the right person: there are conditions attached… wait for the next pill to learn more!
Need a Wife? You need to SLEEP!
Start from pill 4… When Adam couldn’t find a woman among the animals, God caused him to SLEEP!
“If you don’t sleep, you can’t get the right spouse.” Of course, I’m not referring to physical sleep!
You need to “sleep” in absolute surrender to God! You don’t depend on your outward feelings! But on your inner eyes and inner convictions! (applicable to ladies too). Study Genesis 2: 21-22. Continue in Pill 6.
The Making of The Woman!
While Adam was asleep, God took a rib from him and formed a woman from it!
Why didn’t God create the woman from the dust like He did for Adam, God didn’t create
The female Animals from the male. God used the man’s rib to show that the man and the woman are two halves of a whole. So, the woman can perfectly feet as a “help Meet” for him.
To have a peaceful home, you must marry your “second half.” Prov 19:14 says “Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.” (Further reading: Gen. 2: 21-22)

Read: Psalm 23:1–6 Bible in a Year: Proverbs 10–12; 2 Corinthians 4
Scripture: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. Isaiah 43:1
Message: During a visit to the National September 11 Memorial in New York City, I quickly photographed one of the twin reflecting pools. Around these two pools, the names of the nearly 3,000 people who died in the World Trade Center attacks are etched into bronze panels. Later, while looking more closely at the photo, my eyes were drawn to the hand of a woman resting on a name. Many people come to this place to touch a name and remember someone they loved.
The prophet Isaiah reminded God’s people of His unfailing love and concern for them, even though they had often turned away from Him. The Lord said, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine” (Isaiah 43:1).
In the 23rd Psalm, David wrote, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley [the valley of the shadow of death], I will fear no evil, for you are with me . . . . Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever” (vv. 4, 6).
God never forgets us. No matter where we are or whatever our situation, He knows our names and holds us fast in His unfailing love.
Prayer: Father in heaven, thank You for calling us by name and surrounding us with Your love, today and forever.
Thought for the Day:God knows our names and He holds us fast in His love.

SCRIPTURE: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:14-15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Cross is God’s answer that crushes all sicknesses and afflictions.
Message: In the Book of Numbers Chapter Twenty One, the Bible gives an account of the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land. In the wilderness, they erred by speaking against God and His servant, Moses. Then God permitted serpents to bite them. When they cried out to Moses, God told Moses to mould a fiery serpent made of brass and set it on a pole so that anyone who looked up at the serpent on the pole after being bitten would be healed from the venom of the biting serpent on the ground.
Now, in the New Testament, Our Master, Jesus tells us in the above scripture that the way the serpent was lifted in the wilderness was the same way He, the son of man would be lifted up. This means, the way the children of Israel were healed when they looked up at the serpent on the pole is the same way we would be healed and delivered when we look up to Jesus who was crucified on the Cross.
This is the key to healthy living!
In practical terms, how does this apply to us today? When you are sick or afflicted, lift up your eyes of faith to the Cross of Calvary where ‘It is finished.’ On the Cross of Calvary, Jesus finished all the works of the devil, including afflictions and diseases. The Cross is God’s answer that crushes all sicknesses and afflictions. So, when you look up to the Cross where sickness and diseases had already been finished by Jesus, you would be healed of every sickness in your body. This understanding is key to terminating every sickness in your body and maintaining a healthy life.
My counsel is, always look up to the Cross of Calvary and you will be made whole.
Remember this: The Cross is God’s answer that crushes all sicknesses and afflictions.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind to look up at the Cross of Calvary with your eyes of faith.
2. Ask God to heal you of every sickness and affliction in your life.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for perfecting my healing on the Cross of Calvary. I receive my total healing by looking up at the finished work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THESE MESSAGES: LOOK UP AT THE CROSS; LOOK AND LIVE.

KEY VERSE: “Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel”
(Isaiah 29:2).
The Lord relates with His people in true holiness and abiding righteousness. Thus, His children must also worship Him in truth and righteousness. The Lord does not compromise His standard: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24).
The passage for today starts with a decree of woe to Ariel, “the city where David dwelt”. Ariel, in this passage, refers to Jerusalem, a city which had become so mighty in power and splendour. But more specifically, Ariel signifies an altar of sacrifice. In the course of exaltation by the Lord, Jerusalem had become the consecrated city where the altar of sacrifice to the Lord was and where many came to worship. However, Jerusalem became backslidden and all its eventual outward show of religiosity became abominable to the Lord.
Ariel is a representation of the gradual and eventual backsliding of a once fervent child of God. We are clearly warned: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). The Lord will, however, be faithful to as many who honour Him and be an enemy against their enemies.
A true child of God dwells in the secret place of the Most High and abides in His secure and blessed sanctuary. He does not serve or worship God selectively. On the contrary, he is on fire for God all the time. Believers must always wait on the Lord and dwell in His presence at all times. A loss of the vision for the Lord can spell grave repercussions. Therefore, let your hearts be fixed on God and allow nothing to derail your princely pursuit of God.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Lord requires absolute surrender.
