Count it all joy

This post goes to the lady out there; whether teenage girl or young wife...to that lady who is faced with so much pressure...that lady on whom every responsibility seem to rest...that lady with a heavy heart, sadness all over...desires not met, expectations not fulfilled.... so much needs and wants... depression about to set in...my heart is with you and that is why I need to tell you to count it all joy.....

James 1:2‭-‬3 NKJV

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

There's a correct response to when you fall into various trials. The response is joy, borne out of knowledge. Knowledge is very important before you can fully rejoice in the midst of tribulations. Knowledge of who you are in Christ and what God has done for you will cause you to be joyful always. 
You need to know that whatever you are passing through right now is for a reason. It's not just happening....patience is being produced beloved...and when patience has completed it's work, you would be perfect and complete, lacking nothing, so common, rejoice.

How can I maintain a sexually pure relationship?

Hello lady, How have you been? I have missed you (covering faces).  So, for a while now, I have been writing about sexual purity.  Today, I will be writing specifically on how to maintain a sexually pure relationship. I think that one of the major challenges that people in courtship faces, is maintaining sexual purity.  There's no doubt that God's will for us is to be sexually pure. I have addressed this in my previous post . We are sexual beings and when you are in love with someone, that sexuality wants to find expression in displaying your love to that person.  However, for a believer in Christ, such expressions should wait till the right time before they are allowed to find expression. The right time is marriage.  So, how do you then maintain sexual purity in your relationship? 1.  Have a clear purpose for your relationship and even for your future marriage You have to settle the issue of purpose. Why are you in a relationship with him? Answers to that question w

Should you cohabit with your fiance?

Hello young lady and teen girl, Today, I will be writing on a very interesting topic.  " Should you cohabit with your fiance?" Cohabitation is an arrangement where two people who are not married live together. There are two types of cohabitation that I know: 1. Campus coupling, commonly practised in tertiary institutions where a 'boy friend' and 'girlfriend', are living together. 2. A legal arrangement of partnership, practised in some developed countries, where two people live together, for years, mostly throughout their lifetime, even bear children, but without the 'marriage' attachment. This partnership is fast replacing legal marriage. I will focus on the first type of cohabitation I described (the campus coupling). What are the reasons why people cohabit? 1. Some couples claim that they should live together to see if they are compatible or not. 2. I love him so much that I can't let him go 3. Financial pressure,  that is, to save money. 4. Acc

What is sexual purity?

Hello lady, Happy New month. Welcome to the month of June.  In my post today, I will be sharing about the topic.... Sexual purity! Yaay, I am very sure that this is a topic that we all have heard about in one way or the other. I think the first time I heard about sexual purity was in high school and it was not until later that I really understood the concept of what it meant to be sexually pure. Sexual purity is about abstaining from any form of sexual activities and sexual intercourse before and outside marriage. Sex is a beautiful thing, in fact, God is the creator. However, He created sex to be enjoyed by a man and a woman, within the context of marriage. Any form of sexual relations outside the context of marriage is therefore against the original plan of God. Let's look at a scripture It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passion
