What does friendship mean to you?

What does friendship mean to you? By Toyosi Adegunle Someone once said, " Friends in your life are like the pillars on your porch, sometimes, they lean on you, sometimes, it's just enough to know they are standing by ".  When the word friendship is mentioned, different meanings cross people's hearts, most likely because friendship means different things to them.  People have different motives for making friends; some make friends for material reasons, personal pleasures, vain reasons. I personally think friendship is way more than these reasons listed. It's a really big deal and it can make or mar you spiritually, emotionally, financially, physically, and every other ramification.   As believers, we should pay attention to the process of making friends. This is extremely important for your inner circle of friends. Truly, everything they do, say, think, and engage in rubs off on you as well consciously or not. Proverbs 22: 24 (AMPC) Do not even associate with a ma

How to enjoy a satisfying single life

How to enjoy being single By Dr. Tolu Adeleke While a lot of people are fascinated by relationship goals and it seems like everyone is getting “ booed up ” these days, I believe Singleness is a gift. It is a very unique time in a person ’ s life that can be just as pleasurable as being in a relationship. This period also sets a great foundation for a relationship when handled properly. This post is directed to singles who desire to someday be in healthy relationships.   Few things to do while single.   1. Strengthen your relationship with God. As cliche as this is, don ’ t sleep on it. You need to identify the voice of God and how He speaks to you. Don ’ t wait till there ’ s a potential partner to start praying and then complain that God is not talking to you. Build your intimacy with him now. A lot of us, like the woman at the well in John 4:4-26 are thirsty and will hop from partner to partner until we give room for Christ to take his place in our hearts. You should

The Vine and the branch John 15:5| Can I be cut off?

The Vine and the branch John 15:5 By lulu Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog. I’m so glad you clicked this link and I pray that you continue to grow in your faith walk in Christ. Listen, today’s post is going to bless you. This faith that we have in God is not self-generated, God gave it to us when we heard the gospel. Faith comes by hearing the word of God ( Romans 10:17 ).  My really good friend sent me this wonderful write up in response to my WhatsApp status that talked about faith being maintained by Christ. Please read and remain blessed.  The Vine and the branch John 15: 5 Branches don’t choose to be branches. They just are because the Vine willed it and the Gardener kept them without cutting them off. We as the branch were willed as branches before time began. Ephesians 1:4 (NIV) says For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love And as such, we are connected whether we want to or not. We are supplied nutrients becaus

Let’s talk: Red flags and Deal breakers

Let’s talk: Red flags and Deal breakers by Ogor Ben-Iweagwu  Hi everyone, I trust we’re doing well. I am so excited for today’s blog entry, it is by one wonderful woman I love and respect deeply. She is Christ-centered and Holy Spirit-filled. Each time I talk to her, I just have to take notes because she drops gems constantly. If you watched #TSPRecap last Saturday on my Instagram live you definitely know what I’m talking about. So, this post is primarily targeted to my sisters in Christ but I believe it applies to single men as well. Sorry, I’m not biased, I promise.  Anyways, please read and be blessed!  On relationships and red flags,  There should be a baseline of the type of man you must allow yourself to invest your emotions in. It is not every type of man (even within the body of Christ) you should invest your emotions in. Being single is a gift (Bibi has talked about this here ). You get to choose who you need to invest in.  Here is something we need to explore together, girl t
