ARE YOU SURE?

Hello readers, this an inspirational and educating article we all have to read. Many a time we take decisions without first thinking of the consequence that will follow, dont you think we need to ask ourselves the question " Are you sure". I could remember few months ago, after a long wait of 11 month ... Yes! I know you must have been thinking of what made me to wait patiently for 11 month, hmm... that is a long story for another day, but if you are very good in guessing, you should be able to give a correct prediction. She called me and fixed for a meeting in a popular eatery in Ibadan. In anticipation we met at the eatery the following day, though very tired, in my native regalia I managed to grace the meeting to hear the final verdict from the judge(her). Was I disapointed from her eventual decision? A soldier man is trained to always manage every situations that come his way, however it is always difficult when it comes to EMOTION!

Final verdict
 

Till now, I hope she will be able to give a right answer to the question I quoted from Solape Coker's(today is her birthday) piece "Are You Sure". Perhaps I will get a right answer to the question after reading this:

Tunde and Bisi have broken up! After 2 years? Biodun and Bose just broke up last week! He came back from service year and that was it: 3 years courtship, torn to shreds! Kunle finally wrote from the US, only for him to declare that he was no longer interested. I’m sure you’re familiar with these stories. They seem to be happening every day and if you are in courtship right now with a brother, you would agree with me that there’s a good reason for the question: Are you sure?

 

Gone are the days when a lady can relax once she’s found a Christian brother on fire for the Lord. She could be rest assured that a blissful marriage is already sure and secured.

Many have placed their entire confidence on the spirituality and trustworthiness of a highly respected brother. I’m sure you’ve heard stories of how disastrous and shocking their disappointments have been? So many ladies have had their emotions completely crashed, some others have cried heavy tears that refuse to dry and some are still crying, even now!

Are you sure of that Man?
 

 

Quietly, in the heart of every lady, she wants to know if truly, she’s the one this guy loves or she’s just one of the multitudes of loved ladies around him. She really wants to be sure she’s not being deceived.

 

Coupled with the fact that ladies out there, are so desperate to get any good guy to marry, she’s not sure of her stand.  Anytime the Mr or Bro. fails to fulfil a promise or meet up with an appointment, the deep question rings again, “Are you sure???” Sincerely, a lady in the heat of a relationship cannot really count how many times she asks that question. This is a major cause of her several hours of deep thoughts (an example of what men can never return/reconcile when they break a relationship).

 

Dear reader, can I ask you? Are you sure of that brother? Will he be true to you? Will e keep faith with you in the toughest of times? What of when unavoidable circumstances put some distance in-between you (e.g. NYSC, job transfer, etc.): Now that he’s abroad, would he actually come back for you? Would he in the face of desperate lovers in his far away location; still reserve your place for months? Or for few years? Will he wait for you? Or will he later change his mind? Can you give an answer? Are you sure…

 

If you will be sincere, you would agree with me that you are not in any proper position at all to answer any of the above questions. As a matter of fact if you supplied any answers to the above, I’m afraid, you are just guessing. The truth is ONLY

DIVINITY CAN SUPPLY YOU WITH THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS. It takes divinity to know what will happen that has not happened. Or can you by any means ever see the desperately wicked heart of a man.

 

Sorry Ma, only god has that equipment, you don’t. The God who made man said that his heart is desperately wicked and that no one can know it. Not even you, my dear sister. Only God! Only God, I repeat, can guarantee a relationship between a brother and a sister. He alone can make the brother “ZIP UP” when another lady “ZIPS DOWN” on him. This is the crux of this article.

Since only the Lord can guarantee a man for marriage; it will be like playing pool with your life to go ahead into a relationship with a man when you possess a dysfunctional and unhealthy relationship with the Lord Himself. Just imagine the kind of uncertainty of heart with which you will go into and through courtship and into marriage if you ever survive to that point at all? Dear Reader, why don’t you reconcile with Jesus and let Him be your guarantor.

WHAT VISIT TO ORPHANS CAN DO

WHAT VISIT TO ORPHANS CAN DO

Note on Orphanage Home Visit

"Fading away like the stars of the morning,losing their light in the glorious sun—

Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling, Only remembered by what we have done"- Horatius Burna

Here is an inscription writing on a tomb stone:

"In Loving Memory of George Muller, Founder of the Ashley Down Orphange.

Born September 27, 1805

Fell asleep March 10, 1898
__________

He trusted in God with whom "nothing shall be impossible," and in His beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord who said "I go unto My Father, and whatsoever ye shall ask in My name that will I do that the Father, may be glorified in the Son."

And in His inspired word which declares that "All things are possible to Him that believeth."

And God fulfilled these declarations in the experience of His servant by enabling him to provide and care for about ten thousand orphans.
 
End of discussion!

Dear reader, George Muller apparently did many things aside caring for orphans but I guess they are weightless on the scale!

Perhaps you may need to check his biography out for details but my educated opinion tells me that those weightless deeds are in by no means worthless! Only that the Omnipotent God placed His finger on Only this care for the 'worthless orphans' as weighty, worthy and recognised course!

As far as I know, God was equivocal on this scale of preference:

"Pure and undefiled RELIGION before me is this: to visit ORPHANS...in their trouble...." (James 1:27 KJV).

God demanded for visitation to them but George Muller was wise to have accomodated them so his visit will be regular and full; I mean meeting their need because he is ever present to see them in their trouble!

It is about visiting them and meeting their need, will you? 

I have seen tombs with no inscription than the name of the deceased, what shall be written on yours?

Orphans can give you one should you visit them in their trouble!

TIYM( www.facebook.com/tiymng ) is an organisation established to develop, train, and give guidance to youths in education, careers, and leadership intend to visit two orphanage homes; FOMWAN Orphanage Home, Bashorun and He careth heritage Orphanage Home, Akobo Estate, both in Ibadan on November 10, 2015.
