Who Told You, You Were Naked?

*Hebrews 11:4, "[Prompted, actuated] by faith Abel brought God a better and more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, because of which it was testified of him that he was righteous [that he was upright and in right standing with God], and God bore witness by accepting and acknowledging his gifts. And though he died, yet [through the incident] he is still speaking."* (Amp. Bible)

When God came to visit Adam after he had eaten of the forbidden fruit, He found him hiding and He asked Him a question that I believe the Holy Spirit of God would want us to look keenly at today. Adam said, "We heard you coming and I became afraid, because I was naked, hence I hid myself." Then God asked him, "Who told you, you were naked?"
The opposite of faith is fear, Faith comes by hearing, fear comes by seeing.
This is why we are supposed to walk by faith and not by sight. When Adam had eaten the fruit, the Bible says, that, both their eyes were opened. Adam all along was walking and working by faith, his eyes were closed and all he needed to do was to hear. Because faith comes by Hearing and hearing by the word of God. But the moment you start seeing, fear sets in and you start hiding.
I have heard a lot of stories about Cain and Abel, and today when the Spirit of God woke me up, He asked me, "Who told Cain that his sacrifice was not accepted by God?"
One of my teachers told me that there could have been a sign they looked at, he suggested that if the smoke of your sacrifice went in a straight line to heaven, then your sacrifice had been accepted, but if the smoke just went sideways and in spirals , and just spread all over, then your sacrifice was rejected. But all these are just but mere speculations.
The Bible in Hebrew eleven verse four tells us clearly where the information of acceptance and rejection came from, it says, "By faith, Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain..." I love the way the amplified version puts it. It says, "Prompted and actuated by faith, Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain... "
This tells me that Cain looked at his sacrifice and saw he was naked!! But on the other hand, Abel looked at his sacrifice and heard God's acceptance.
There are two things that will always happen when the word of God is spoken, you can either choose to see or to hear it. The hearing of it brings faith, but the seeing of it brings fear. Whenever you look at your sacrifice, you will always see of how unworthy it is before God, and it is truly unworthy. Even David once asked, "What exactly could be enough to tell God "thank you" ?" and he concluded there is nothing, absolutely nothing. Job looked at himself and said, "I am just but a worthless worm!" But something different, happens when you listen to your sacrifice!!
When you hear it crying for mercy upon the alter. When you hear your money telling you all it could have done in your pocket yet you decided to give it to God. Faith descends in and you offer a more acceptable sacrifice.
Let me draw your attention to something more awesome, God did not actually reject Cain's sacrifice, the Bible says that Abel's was *better and more acceptable*, it means that Cain's was also accepted, but by compared, God would prefer Abel's to Cain's. It is equivalent to if two people gave me each a shirt, one blue and another green, I love color blue, but I will accept both of them, but you may only see me donning the green one once in a while but more the blue one. But remember, I accepted both!
So, who told Cain that his sacrifice had been rejected?
The answer is that, it was the opposite of what told Abel that his sacrifice was accepted. And the Bible tells us that it is faith that informed Abel that his sacrifice was accepted, and I started by saying that the opposite of faith is fear. Hence, it is fear that informed Cain that his sacrifice was rejected.
Paul tells us that *whatever is done without faith is sin*. In other words, whatever is done out of fear is sin.
Let me tell you how, how many people are sinning nowadays.
A photo is posted on facebook, and you are told, "If you love Jesus, type "amen"" And out of fear, not faith, you go ahead and type "amen". This is just something created by a person that wants his or her creation to go viral or to gain traffic,  but because of your fear you put your "amen" there and by so doing you sin, because you did it without faith. Or a text is sent, some threaten you, by telling you how some people who ignored it faced the music and box you into believing that if you ignore it you are doomed. Others just give you an ultimatum and a time limit, telling you to drop everything you are doing and send to a certain number of people. Because of fear, not faith, you frantically jump into a sending spree.
Other texts are blatantly blasphemous, but because of fear, even the so called Christians cannot discover the blasphemy! It goes like, "Hello, I am God... " blah, blah, blah! You are God? When did you become God? How dare you call yourself God? I would not mind someone telling me, "I am the voice of God", or His mouthpiece, or His servant, or even His arm, palm or leg, but when you send me a text telling me that you are God... you become equivalent or worse than the devil who wanted to unseat God from His throne in heaven!
*I am not a fear vendor, I am a faith vendor.* And today I came to speak to my generation, a generation that wants everything to be chewed on their behalf and some are even too lazy to swallow, they want you to chew and even swallow for them. I came to tell all who care to hear, that we must make a deliberate choice and decision to be faith vendors. Resist to spread fear and instead spread faith.
I don't deny the existence of Illuminati, but you don't need as a Christian to keep spreading messages of how powerful it has become, of how it has taken over, of how everybody that is famous must be Illuminati. That is not yours business. If you have to study, study to show yourself approved, a worthy workman with Christ. But don't study occultism until you yourself becomes worse than them. Has God become so powerless that He cannot make some of us famous and influential?
Some people think that by spreading these chain messages they are preaching God, but if you look at it closely, you will discover they have become preachers of darkness more than they claim to be preachers of light.
The mind of a human being does not and cannot decode negatives. If you paint a wall and then stick a notice saying, "don't touch, wet paint" that is the place you will find the largest number of finger prints. Why? Because, what you tell people not to do is what actually tempts them more to do it.
This is why the ten commandments got a challenge of their lifetime. Because they were written telling people what they should not do. And by so doing, people only felt an urge to do more of what they were told not to do.
Even Paul says, "It is the law that gives life and power to sin"!
Those who have been with me long enough heard me preach about the *THOU SHALT GENERATION*, where I told you that now Jesus has changed the code. When He blotted out the handwritten ordinances, that declared "thou shall not", now we are in a dispensation of "Thou shalt"!
We don't concentrate much on what we should not do, we invest all our energy on what we should do! Hallelujah! We are not ignorant of what we should not do, but we only pay attention to what we should do.
Be more God conscious and you will experience God, be more sin conscious and sin will always be at your door steps. The more you think of how to avoid sin and sinning, the more you will find yourself falling into sin and sinning, but the more you think of how to please God and be holy, the more you will find yourself in the liberty given by Christ.
So, who told you, you were naked?
Adam could not pause and think, all this while, hasn't God always seen me naked? Did I become naked today? No, it is just that my eyes were opened, but all the while, I have been naked.
Like Abel, the truth of the matter is that there is nothing you will ever offer to God that will be an enough sacrifice, but even if you offer a button in faith, it shall be acceptable to God. Don't give offering in fear, give in love. Some people give tithes out of fear, I came to tell you that anything done without faith is sin. Don't give tithes and offerings because you fear if you don't it won't be well with you, give by faith that is driven by love.
Shalom and keep the faith.

Obtaining Favor (Part 7)

Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." (Amp. Bible)

Finally brethren, God hates divorce, but He doesn't hate divorcees. Just like God hates sin, but he doesn't hate sinners. God hates divorce, but he doesn't stop people from divorcing, just like God hates sin, but he doesn't stop people from sinning.
I am not a divorce advocate, but I am just laying the facts on the table. Some people get stuck on a wrong union, because they believe that God will walk along the rest of their lives carrying a grudge against them, or labeling them as divorcees. But this is not so, what God hates is the divorce, not the divorcee. We all sin, and God hates sin, but he does not go around hating us.

Secondly, there is something that we either forget or we overlook, the Bible says, "THEM THAT GOD HAS JOINED, let no man put asunder".
Many of the unions I have had to sit down and watch are not "God-joined". It is one thing that led to another and soon someone was in the other's house calling the other "my husband" to the surprise of the one being called "my husband".
Therefore, before we condemn people to a jail of unhappiness we need to examine if God really brought these two together, or they brought themselves together or they were brought together by circumstances.

What do you do if you discover you were brought together by other factors other than God?
Elisha, almost immediately after receiving the mantle from Elijah, was brought to him a case of a land whose water had the tendency of making everything and everyone in that area barren. He asked for a bowl and salt, THEN WENT TO THE SOURCE and healed the stream.
This is something that we should all do every time we are faced with something and discover it was not from God in the first place. Whatever is born of God overcomes the world, which means that whatever is not born of God is overcome by the world.
God's mercies are new every morning, you may be in a union which was not born of God, but you desperately want it to work. All you need to do is to introduce God into it to save it. The moment you introduce God into the heart of a man, that man gets saved, the same way if you introduce God into your relationship and accept from then henceforth to play by his rules, that relationship will be saved.

Just tell your relationship to literally kneel down, say after you, "LORD Jesus," yes command your relationship to repeat after you,  of course you must be saved yourself first. Then tell it repeat after you, tell it to say, "LORD Jesus, I know I was born in sin, but now I invite you into my existence, and declare you as my LORD and author, from now henceforth I am yours, where you go I will go, from today I am a new creature, amen".
If your relationship can say those words, then it shall be saved and from there henceforth a new chapter of it shall be written in which even heaven shall declare, "them that God has joined, let no man put asunder".
Just because you got married in a church wedding doesn't mean that your union was God-joined.

There is a very big difference between a marriage and a wedding. Many people spend a lot of time and money, preparing for the wedding but don't do anything about preparing for marriage. I have seen people who did a wedding worth millions, but they came from honeymoon in separate flights and went separate ways.
A wedding is a ceremony and an accassion, a marriage on the other hand is a calling and an undertaking. A wedding is all about eating and drinking and making merry, a marriage is an agreement and a covenant between families and governments.
Families must agree to sell their children to the slave trader called life and wait and see if their children will translate each others dream all the way to the throne. Covenants must be made between the newly married and God, and a sacrifice offered on the matrimonial bed. And the sacrifice must be offered as often as possible as a reminder of the commitment at hand.

This is why sex before marriage is detrimental. Because sex is an offering, and when it is done without God, it is thence done for other gods. And if a marriage shall be based on a sex escapade that happened before marriage, then that union shall not be termed as "God-joined". Because it was instituted by a sacrifice or an offering to another god.
But if my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves, and repent and call my name, says the LORD, then I will hear them from heaven and I will HEAL their land.
There is always one step between a failed marriage and divorce called, "humbling yourself and repenting", but most people always jump right into divorce.
And as I started by saying, I did not come to instigate divorcees, God only hates divorce, but he loves divorcees. This is why He will even give some a second chance, a third chance and even to some a fourth chance. But it is only a mad man, that does the same thing repeatedly in the same way and expects different results.

Mistakes happen in our lives so that we may learn from them. If your husband or wife left you, you are supposed to pick up the broken pieces, learn from your mistakes and move on. Like the four lepers in second Kings chapter seven and verse four, you must say to yourself, "if I stay here, I will die. If I go back, I will die to. But if I go forward, yes there is a possibility that I might die, which is not optional, but there is a hope that I might be spared, which is absent in my other options!" Please note how strategically that story is set. One it is in the book of second kings. Number two is a number of witnesses, it is also a number of continuity. We all know what "kings" mean, it means dominion and rulership. Number seven is the number of perfection and the number of rest (Sabbath). Number four is the number of stability. Any ways, we'll preach on that some other time.
My emphasis was on that, do not sit down and die just because you are divorced or because your husband left you or because your wife packed and left. There is something funny about tests and temptations, I have taught this in the past but let me refer to it a little bit. These two are like identical twins that you cannot tell apart, only that one is from God and the other is from the devil. Tests are from God, temptations are from the devil, the funny thing is that, the same thing that God will bring to you as test, most of the times (not always) the devil will also use it as a temptation.
What am I saying?

God may be using your divorce cum separation to teach you something or to approve you for a higher calling, but the devil might use the same situation to make you remain stagnant forever.
As I have spoken in the past, some divorcees feel like they are not worthy to speak about marriage, because they feel they failed in theirs. Yet, may be there is so much they can teach to help those who are going through the same thing not to end up where they ended up. But their tests has now been turned into a temptation by the devil. Can you turn these stones into bread? Will you throw yourself down the cliff? Will you bow down and worship the devil for affluence?

Many people have turned the stones before them into bread. Some have turned suicidal and jumped off the cliff. And others actually gave up on God by asking silly questions like, "Why did God let this happen?" and by so doing they worshipped the devil.
Oh my God!
I have so much to write, but I am out of space and time!
I don't write from experience, I write from excellence. There is a difference between perfection and excellence, perfection is the becoming of all you wanted to be, excellence is becoming the best you can ever be. I am not perfect, I am just a prefect. I don't write from experience, I write from excellence.

Someone told me I cannot teach them about marriage, unless I was married first, they forgot I serve an omnipresent God. This means that God is everywhere, the same God who is in a 50 years marriage experience, is the same God inside a single undecided man! If they can harness their sensitivity and tap into the spiritual world, he who has never been married can teach those who are in marriage how to stay married.
Paul tells young Timothy, "do not let anyone despise you because you are young..." I don't write from the knowledge of books, I tap from the omniscience of God Himself. Those who listen to me can tell you that what I talk, can rarely be found in books... unless of course I have written that book. And I pray to God that before my time on earth expires, I will write enough books to help those that I can. That this God given ability to tap into the omniscience will not go unrecorded in a few chapters of a few books.

I hope this series has been of help to you. I know it has had an effect in the spiritual world, because just yesterday I have received threats not to spread it and to stop spreading it else I will see fire. But fire is what refines us. We are made of a material that is not consumable by fire, and that cannot be drowned by many waters. I have preached through social media since 2009, and threats and being told, "Don't send that stuff to me again" have become my marks of whether I am doing anything or not. Therefore, rejoice in the LORD, and again I say rejoice. Walk not in fear, and BEFORE YOU JUMP OUT OF WEDLOCK, try and invite Jesus into it first. Wake Him up from His sleep, if surely Jesus is unable to calm the storm, them at least you can walk with Him in water from the boat amidst the storms. Else, if you jump out of the boat, alone, you will be landing on a sea and if you can't swim, you will drown.
My goodness! This stuff keeps flowing, I wish I had more space! Any ways....
Shalom and keep the faith.

Obtaining Favor (Part 6)

Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." (Amp. Bible)

One of the things I always want people to distinguish is creation and formation. In creation, a woman and a man were created together in Genesis one. But in formation, a man was formed carrying within himself a woman. And the woman had to be extracted from within a man in Genesis two.
Therefore, for every man created, there is a woman created alongside him and for every woman formed there is always a man from whom she was extracted. This is the spiritual arithmetic. That, every boy child is born with a missing component, a specific thing that is taken from him while he slept and from it a woman was created. And that no woman is born unless a boy somewhere was first born, with a missing thing from which the woman is formed.

Refusing to get married is signing an agreement to remain incomplete. It is also compelling another person to either eternal solitude or to enter into a mismatch.
If you use a phone, you are well aware of a GSM card. You may have the most expensive phone, but you need the services of a certain network to be able to connect and communicate. Mostly, you buy the phone apart from or without the GSM card and you will have to buy it later or sooner. And before you insert a GSM card, you will have to check the size, whether it is normal, Nano or a micro card.
The same it is with a man's life.

A man is like a phone, And God is the user of that phone. For God to use a man effectively, He has to insert the right GSM card inside the phone. There are a lot of companies offering their GSM cards, and every card has its advantages and disadvantages. So, the user has to first ask themselves what exactly they need to achieve so as to know which network to contract. Women are like the GSM cards, they come into the life of a man to help God achieve something.
Yesterday, I mentioned that you haven't agree to be sold by your brethren. This means that you have to agree to be detached from your family. For anybody to achieve a good family they must agree to be separated from their family to be attached to each other to form their own family.

The reason why the Bible does not tell the woman to leave her father and mother, but instead says, "a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife", is because, the woman is supposed to fall-in in line.
It is supposed to be like the famous speech of Ruth to Naomi, "Where you go, I will go. Your God shall be my God. Your people shall be my people. Where you die, there also shall I die". Also, you need to know that a man carries a woman within himself, therefore, a man leaving his parents by extension means a woman leaving too.

The way to achieving your dream is by interpreting other people's dreams. The family setup is a combination of two people who are willing to interpret each others dreams into reality.
This is why I said from the beginning and I will repeat again, most families fail or break more because they lack understanding than they fail because they lack love.
A man can still love his wife and still cheat on her with another woman that understands him better. Many women ask this question, when things fall apart, "what does that woman have, that I don't?" They ask so pointing at their bodies to indicate that they are similar. And truly they are similar, but similar does not and will never mean equal.
We are similar to God but we are not equal to God.

Women are similar, but they are not equal in understanding. Some are normal SIM cards, others are micro SIM cards and others are nano SIM cards. You may fall in love with a normal SIM card only to find that your handset can only accommodate a micro SIM card.
I got a new phone some time back, previously my phone was using a normal SIM card. But this new one came with a smaller slot. But I thank God there is a machine to cut SIM cards. I reduced the SIM card into nano size. Recently, I was blessed with yet another phone. The slot of this newer one was a micro slot. I have to cut the SIM card yet again into a micro SIM card.

The size of a woman does not matter, what matters is whether she is ready to be cut to size to fit into his handset of a man.
A man may fall in love with a normal SIM card size of a woman only for him to find that his slot is a micro slot. This does not mean that the man will fall out of love with the woman. He may even marry her even if she is not fitting in, but it is dependant on the woman to agree to be taken to the cutting machine, so that she may fit in the slot.
A woman that refuses to be cut, may end up being just loved, but watch other women who can fit being inserted in the slot she is supposed to occupy. Please note that, they are not being inserted because they are loved, no! They are being inserted because they fit.
I have discovered that many women are normal size kinda cards. But few men come with such size of slots nowadays, most of the men come with nano-sized slots and even more than these come with micro-sized slots.

The problem is that, many women have refused to face the cutting machine. And so, men fall in love with the normal sized SIM cards, but have to search for a nano or micro size SIM card that fits in their slot.
As I have said, the way to achieving your dream is by interpreting another person's dream. This calls for a re-sizing.
You have to agree as a woman to be cut to size so as to interpret the man's dream for your dreams too to be interpreted.
God is the user of the handset, many women have refused God to take them to the cutting machine so that they may fit and fulfill the mandate of dominion that comes with the combination of them and their man.

Tomorrow we tackle the final episode of this seven days series. Not because I am out of words or I am done, but because we must stop somewhere. Hence, tomorrow we will tackle what God will allow us to and hope that He gives us another season like this some time later, or give me the energy to compile a book as many of you have requested. And yes, I have a few books I have written, The first is called "THE SECRETS OF A GIVER", the second one is called, "POSSESSION, ATTACKS AND DELIVERANCE", the third one is called,  "SIN AND TRANSGRESSIONS" and the latest is called, "THE LORDS' PRAYER". I distribute them myself and can be gotten only by contacting me.
Shalom and keep the faith.

Obtaining Favor (Part 5)

Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." (Amp. Bible)

The family setup is like a building, where the husband is the foundation and the wife is the building on top of the foundation. I remember some time back I posted a message dubbed, "When God delays a spouse", and in it I was explaining that, while most of the times it is our own mistakes that keep us away from getting married, some other times it is God who takes a little bit of His time preparing the foundation on which a woman will be built on, because most probably, the woman is supposed to be a skyscraper. Therefore the foundation who is the man takes quite some time preparing.

It so happens that a man matures a little bit slower than a woman. Most of the times, by when a lady is twenty years old, she is all ready to become someone's wife, and the only thing she is doing is resisting it. But a man can go up to thirty five years before he has captured his own vision. Actually, many capture a vision while they are already living with someone's daughter. Yes, many have gotten married long before they get a glimpse of what they want their destiny to become.
Many people ask me when the right age for marriage is. My answer is and has always been that, the right age for marriage is marked by the day you understand where you are going in life.

A woman ought to understand her mission on earth, because it will become a submission to her man's mission. A man must understand his mission on earth because it is his mission that will attract the right submission.
Women do not submit to a man, women submit to a mission. If a man does not have a mission, it becomes very difficult for him to make a woman submit.
If you discover that your woman is not submissive, what you need to check on is the mission you have displayed, because may be her missions; which should be submissions, do not fit in your mission.

The Bible says that a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. This tells you that the man is the one that is supposed to desperately hold on to his wife. But roles have changed nowadays, the women are the ones playing the desperadoes card, while men care less they just use and go.
This is because the women have taken up the role of loving men and in return they want the men to submit. Whereas, it should be the opposite. The man should love a woman and the woman is supposed to submit.
What does it mean to submit?

"Submit" carries two meanings depending on where you put the word "to"; it can either be "to submit" or "submit to". Many women run "submit to" before they finish "to submit".
"To submit" is to give something considerations, give your own views present your side of story or account, etc. "Submit to" is agreeing to become subject to a mission.
You should not "submit to" any thing, before you are able "to submit". I mean, a woman must know where she is going first, so that the moment she hears a man's mission, she can know if her submissions will be met while on the man's mission.

Many women nowadays are looking for stable men, because they want someone that can finance their missions. But instead, a woman should look at a man who is going in the direction she is headed, because, even if he might not be able to finance her mission, he will still take her to her destination.
For Joseph's dream to become a reality, he needed to be in Egypt. And not just be in Egypt, but be in Egypt and be near Pharaoh enough to be given the ring of authority. One option to achieve this would have been, to become filthy rich in Canaan until Egypt got a wind of it, but Pharaoh would still have not given him the ring of authority, unless he came to colonize Egypt.

This is the mistake many women are doing they want to colonize their dream, they want to take their dream into captivity and it ends up backfiring on them.
But the right way is to do what Joseph did. God arranged for him a party that was headed where his dream was. The ride was not very smooth, but in the end, he ended up with the ring of authority on his finger.
Many people delay before they get married, is because they refuse to be sold by their brethren to the party headed to where their dream is. Instead, they want to have a ready made hop, step and jump situation that will land them where they want to go.
They don't want to be sold by their brethren they don't want to be slaves to portiphar, they don't want to be in jail, they just want the glory beside Pharaoh.
I told you that marriage life is divided into three segments. The first Three years are awesome, because still, some deceptions that were used during courtship are still struggling to stay alive. Yes, deceptions...

Deception is not a lie, it is a twisted truth, and nobody's daughter will agree to become your wife unless you are able to twist truths in a very convincing way. But at the expiry of three years in marriage, Only the strongest of deceptions could be surviving and if they are, they are very weak because they are not regularly fed.
From here, you enter into seven years of reality. In this stage, all guards are now down, all cards are on the table and it is either a "deal or no deal" situation. There are so many issues to deal with, women give birth and much of their love is shifted from the man to the child or children. Man has bills to pay and much of his attention is shifted from everything else to these other things.
By the end of these seven years, the fruits of the marriage are now visible. Either there is a di-vision or a vision. If there is a di-vision, division and separation or call it divorce is inevitable. But if the man still has a vision or if he regains his vision, then the next stop is glorification.

I pointed for you sometime back, that of all the miracles of the blind people healed in the bible NON WAS A WOMAN.
And I said, there are many things that happened that weren't recorded in the Bible but the Bible records everything with a certain spiritual significance. And the significance of this is that, vision for a man is of irrevocable importance.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Mostly it is incumbent upon a man to see the beauty of everything and point the direction they should head. If a man can no longer see the beauty in something then breakup is inevitable.
We will pick up from here tomorrow.
Shalom and keep the faith.

Obtaining Favor (Part 4)

Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." (Amp. Bible)

Strength without power becomes dictatorship. Power without strength brings oppression. But strength combined with power brings forth dominion. And this is what God talked about in Genesis chapter one, verse 26 And God  said, "Let us make man in our image, after our  likeness: and let them have dominion over the  fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and  over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over  every creeping thing that creepeth upon the  earth."
He said "let them", He did not say "let him" or "let her". This is so because knowledge is not power, instead, *knowledge gives power. I went to a primary school and our motto was that "knowledge is power", but I have learnt in life that unless knowledge is metamorphosed into wisdom, it is nothing but strength.

Strength is the ability to move things around. If you want to move a table from one point or position to another what you need is strength. But power is the ability to transform, you don't need strength to transform water into vapour, what you need is a power called heat. However strong you may be, you cannot turn water into ice, unless you have a power called cold. But with strength, you can move buckets of water from one ground to the other.
The combination of a man and a woman is a combination of strength and power. It is a combination of the ability to move and the ability to transform. A woman cannot do what a man can do, neither can a man do what a woman can do. A man's work is to carry generations from one point to another in his loins, but it is not until he deposits his generations into a woman's womb that the woman can transform them into real visible generations.
A man has the strength to build a house, but it is the woman that has the power to make it a home.

A man has the strength to have a vision, but it is the woman that has the power to determine their destination.
This is why I told you yesterday, unless a woman understands the vision of a man, then whatever they build will not avail much and sooner than later, they may end up either breaking up or that union will be like a prison to one of them or to both of them.
But when a woman knows the vision of a man, she immediately engages her power to transform it into a mission, and makes everything in her life a SUBMISSION.
Many women define submission as "saying "yes" to everything a man says". But true submission is when a woman makes sure that she will still achieve what she was meant to achieve on earth, but this time, it will be on their way to her man's destiny. In other words, her mission in life becomes a SUB-MISSION that will be achieved in the process of achieving the main MISSION which is the man's VISION.

I said this some time back, but it doesn't hurt to repeat, submission is like when you are going for something at point D, from point A, but you know you must refuel, eat and or buy something else at points B and C. The things you do at points B and C are called submissions, while what you do at D is the mission for the vision. Points B and C are called destinations, terminus or stop overs, while point D is called destiny.
Whenever a woman decides to offer a vision for the family, in the place of her man,  physically it may look like she has given the family a destiny, but spiritually and in the real sense, she has only created a destination for the family.
Because as I said, in the hierachy of God, man answers directly to God, while a woman answers to man and children answer to their mother.

This is why the Bible says that "A man shall leave his mother and father and be enjoined to his wife". The Bible does not say a woman shall leave her mother and father. Why because, when a man is old enough, he is supposed to stop answering to a woman (his mother), and go up the ladder to answer directly to God, like his father does. Jesus said, "I only do what I see my Father do". And so should the boys do, when they have become of age, they should graduate from answering to their mothers and answer directly to God as they see their father do! And in the process they should get a woman that will answer to them as they see their mother do. When Marry came to tell Jesus to turn water into wine at the wedding in Canada of Galilee, Jesus answered her, "Woman, what do I have to do with you?" It sounded quite rude to me at first, to here a child call its mother "Woman". But there is a spiritual indication to this, that this son was already grown up, and was leaving his father and mother, to answer to God directly.
Two visions in one place bring something called DIVISION. The word division is made up of two words "Di" which means two parts and "vision", which we have discussed and still are discussing.

The Bible does not say, "where there are no visions", No,  it says, "where there is no vision (one, singular)".
This is why, the maturity of a man is not measured by his age, but by his ability and desire to leave his father's house to build his own vision. One of the quickest ways to know if a man is mature is to look at how tightly or loosely he is still connected to his father and mother. If your man still keeps on complaining how his parent cannot help him yet they are rich, he is still yet to mature because he is yet to capture his own vision.
It is a man's vision that attracts provision.
If you are still begging so as to finance "a vision" then that is not a vision. The Bible says, write your vision in bold letters so that whoever sees it may run. You are not supposed to beg or fundraise to finance a vision. You are supposed to write it down so that whoever sees it will run, either towards you or away from you or with you.

A man should leave his father and mother, cleave to his wife and then his vision, should attract provision. It should be financiers telling you, "We want to chip in", not you begging them to chip in and getting angry and grudgy if they don't.
This brings us back to our theme scripture, "whoever finds a true wife... obtains favor" favor means you will not need to beg to get your vision going. Things will just come as others go... because of favor!

Why does a true wife bring favor, because she is able to transform your vision into a mission and when people hear from her mouth the wisdom which we said she will always attribute to your knowledge, of where you are going, everybody will want to chip in and be part of the story that will become of your destiny. Let me finish this part four of this series by saying that, *when a woman understands a man's vision, her submissions are a refueling stations to the main Mission*. Because it is in submission which we called destinations that she will attract provisions to the vision for the mission. Let's pick up part five from here, tomorrow or when God next allows us.
Shalom and keep the faith.

Obtaining Favor(Part 3)

Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." (Amp. Bible)

The Bible says that where there is no vision, people perish, and I told you some time back that where there are no people a vision perish. Man is a vision carrier, and if a man lacks vision, it not only destroys him but the whole of his generation, this is why the Bible is saying, "people perish".

Never enjoin yourself as a woman, to a man whose vision you don't understand. Never enjoin yourself as a man with a woman that does not understand and believe in your vision. If a woman keeps telling you as her man that you only think of impossibilities, it is a signal to tell you to continue searching. A woman who is meant for you will always find a way to tell you how much or how better your vision can be achieved. She always has an idea which, if done can make you reach faster where you are going, than if another route is followed. Always respect a woman that gives you alternatives and other ways through which to achieve what you would want to achieve. Pay keen attention to any woman that seems to know where you are going even before you finish a sentence.
The greatest problem we have in families is that most of the times the woman doesn't know where the man is headed. She therefore doesn't even know, if they are going in the right direction or they lost their way. She doesn't know who to carry along the journey or who to drop off where.

As I told you, most people blame lack of love as the reason why many marriages fail. But if you look at what they are calling love, you will discover that they are actually talking about feelings. But as we said yesterday, feelings are bound to change with time, and even after some time, they may actually not even exist. The only feeling that may be left is the feeling of belonging and of having... this is why the vows are called "to have and to hold"... because in the end, that is the only thing you may be left with. Many marriages therefore fail because there is lack of understanding, the woman does not understand the man's vision or doesn't even know it and therefore, she doesn't see her role as the director in the union.
When a woman does not understand the man's vision, their conclusion is usually that the man does not have a vision. And this is usually the beginning of the end. Because if a woman thinks that a man doesn't have a vision, she most likely wants to step in and provide a vision. By so doing, a man's ego is attacked and hurt.
The most valued item in a man's life is his ego; the ability to feel that he is the head and a leader of sort.

One of the easiest way to lose a man is to always make him feel like a second fiddle. And the easiest way to win a man is to always make every contribution he offers sound solomonic.
And this is why I have told you, a man may speak knowledge, because he is an embodiment of knowledge, but it is the work of a woman to process it into wisdom. One of the areas in which women fail, is in that, while processing the man's knowledge into wisdom, they make the man sound foolish and make themselves the originator of the right information. Instead, a wise woman refers to her man as the originator and presents herself as just but a mouthpiece.

This is why the Bible in Proverbs 31:23, "Her husband is known in the [city's] gates, when he sits among the elders of the land". Look at what Proverbs 12: 4, "A virtuous and worthy wife [earnest and strong in character] is a crowning joy to her husband, but she who makes him ashamed is as rottenness in his bones."
This is so because, she talks wisdom, but she attributes her wisdom to her husband. Therefore, even if her husband be a fool, the men of the city do not know him as a fool, because his foolishness is covered by the love of his wife. As the Bible says, "Love covers a multitude of sins"!!
But a woman who shames her husband in any way is a rottenness to his bones. One of the best way to know a foolish woman is in just listening to how she describes her man, how she discusses him with fellow women or amongst men. A wise woman will always try as much as possible to cover her husband's nakedness, but a foolish one will lay him bare for all to see.

What the fool doesn't know is that, those whom you tell of your man's weaknesses are actually getting an advantage of where to strike if they ever need to strike. And most actually end up striking because the more you disdain your man, the more you make some curious to test him for themselves and get a firsthand experience of what you are saying.
One of the reasons why the Bible says, "Vengeance belongs to God", is because, it is the work of God to defend those who are under attack from fellow men, but if you let God attack a man there is no one to defend him. Now, if you make it your business to attack your man, God will make it His business to defend him. The more you pray for your enemies to die, the fatter they grow and the longer they live, but if you do them well, it becomes like coals of fire on their heads.

Abigail was married to Nabal, a fool who refused to help David in his time of need and insulted him. David was prepared to destroy him but Abigail went and defended "her fool". This did not stop Nabal from dying before Abigail, and in the end Abigail was married by David.
I have always said that man was created to answer directly to God, he is accountable to God, a woman is accountable to man. Children are accountable to the woman. This is why foolish children grief their mother because she doesn't know what to tell the man! Wise children make the father happy because he has all the reasons to smile before God!
If the children beat their mother in any way, the man is supposed to defend his woman. If the woman tries to beat the man, God will always come in and defend his man. And this is one thing that women have failed to know, to their own detriment.
This is overflowing to the fourth part... let's continue this tomorrow.
Shalom and keep the faith.

Obtaining Favor (Part 2)

Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." (Amp. Bible)

Many people think that it is any wife you get that will make you obtain favor from God, but the Bible is very specific, it says, "He who finds a true wife..."
This is like telling people to search for a specific ball amongst other similar looking balls and saying, whoever gets the real ball, will get a prize.
And as we finished on our part one yesterday, we said that women are an embodiment of wisdom, while man is an embodiment of knowledge. Yet, wisdom does not exist without knowledge, because wisdom is the application of knowledge. This is why one of the worst mistakes a man can do is to unequally yoke himself.

When God was creating Eve, He said, "I will make Adam a helper meet for him", this is to say, "I will make Adam a helper who has what it takes to handle Adam's load". If you yoke an experienced bull with a bull that is training, the experienced bull will be slowed down in its work and the other will be dragged to its death. This is the danger if being unequally yoked.
Therefore, the woman that becomes a true wife to a man, must be either stronger than the man in applying knowledge, not in muscles and strength, or be equal to him. Any woman that is enjoined with the man who is stronger than her in the processing of knowledge into wisdom reduces the productivity of the union.

The woman is "a value addition system", the man is supposed to provide the knowledge and the woman is supposed to manufacture it into a sellable product. How well a family is packaged is not the effort of the man but of a woman.
This is why the Bible says that "a wise woman builds her house, while a foolish one tears it down with her own hands". It also says that, "A wise son gives joy to his father, while a foolish one brings grief to his mother".
The man is the head of the family, it is the head that houses the brain from where ideas emanate, but however big the idea from the head may be, if the body fails to apply it the head cannot do anything but just sit on the top. It is therefore the work of man to tell the woman the vision he has, it is then the work of the woman to move heaven and earth to make sure they reach that destiny. It is their work to ask, "how are we going to reach there?" "How far are we from there?" And to keep challenging the head to bring out new ideas for application.

The union between a husband and a wife is also a combination of strength and power. The man brings in the strength, the woman is power. When each in the union learns and knows where they play, everything moves smoothly. And as I said yesterday, this can only happen if everything is done with understanding.
What makes a true wife?
How would you know a true wife?
A true wife is made up of love, and from where we stopped yesterday, I said, love is a commitment, love is a decision and love is a responsibility. The reason why many unions break is because, nowadays love has been reduced into a feeling. A girl goes into a marriage dependant on how she feels about a boy. Without knowing that feelings are seasonal. And after you get used to a person, feelings are bound to change.

That is the truth, yes, the bitter truth, it doesn't matter how you feel about someone today, if only you get a chance to be seeing him daily, living with him, sleeping with him, eating with him, seeing him Naked... the longest you can continually feel the same way you feel about him is three years. After three years, the feelings change, you start feeling other things.
This is why, even in marriage, the first three years are very different from the next seven years and the years after the ten years mark. A marriage is divided in three segments, the first three years are like the honeymoon period, after those three years there are seven years of post honeymoon period. In this period of seven years, the feelings are very different from how they were in courtship and what holds people together is commitment, decisions and responsibility... and this is the real definition of love.

After the first ten years, now the life of a couple begins, it is after these ten years that you know whether you got yourself a true wife or a false one. Because after these years, there is nothing left to hide, and the fruits of her tree are all ready to harvest. Which brings me to the second question I asked, "how do you know a true wife?"
Well, that's tricky because you will have to wait for ten years in marriage to know. As Jesus said, "You shall know them by their fruits". It is after these ten years that the fruits of a marriage are ready for picking. And as I said, it is the woman that builds a house, therefore, after ten years, you can look back and see how you were when you met and the changes she has brought into your life in those ten years. You can now know the difference between one that has transformed knowledge into wisdom and one that thinks that man should do everything.

Nowadays, marriages are breaking even before they go beyond the three years mark or right after the three years mark. This is so because most are based on feelings.
Becoming a true wife is a decision, you commit yourself to and make it your responsibility. It is never about how you feel it is about what you believe. A true wife doesn't think that she can only transform the life of a man she feels attracted to, instead, she believes that she has the ability to change the knowledge of any man God puts in her hands into wisdom, not just for their benefit but even for his generations. Therefore, feelings just play a role of identifying the blessed man to be her lord, but not the role of limiting her incubation abilities.
This is why a wise woman can see a man's potential even before it has been turned into motion and tie herself unto him and help it to metamorphose into kinetic energy which she will change into power.
Let's do yet another part of this series tomorrow.
Shalom and God bless you...keep the faith.
