WHEN LOVE TURNS SOUR

-

A friend of mine (Edwin) defined 
love as a subject to test of respect, response in tension and submission. He said Love is the reason why a man will leave his family of orientation and want to start a family of procreation with a woman. He went further to explain to me that love is a process and not a destination. Love grows and it dies when starved, love gives all without expecting anything. He concluded by saying that satisfied Love brings about respect.
            Love is a strong feeling of deep affection for someone
 or something especially a member of your family or a friend. When we fall in love with someone, it’s always like a dream come through, it’s always like a contract that has been won, and it’s always like a just completed project. Your affection for your partner grows miraculously in such a way that you won’t want to leave him/her for a second. Your calls increases, you keep sending messages, you won’t stop calling to check on him/her, and you won’t stop telling your friends about him/her. It makes you feel on top of the world.
I understand a kind of love called 
“UNCONDITIONAL LOVE”, this kind of love is without conditions or limit, this is the kind of love that exists between a mother and her baby, a love that makes you wake up in the morning and say a prayer for your country. A kind of love that gives without asking for anything in return; A love that doesn't demand for money or sex, a love that corrects all wrong. The Bible also speaks of Love, Love is kind, love suffers long, love is meek, love overcomes all, love is pure; love feels good when you love the right person rightly.
Love turns sour when we love the wrong person right, love turns sour when we fall in love with the wrong person, and love turns sour when we search for love when we are not ready. Sometimes we always feel the right person to love is the person with all the quality we desire, we end up loving them but the love tends to fade away with time.
            Love turns sour when 
relationships becomes unpleasant, love becomes sour when partners quarrel on daily basis, the affection begins to reduce and you don’t want to have anything to do with your partner. Many marriages have become sour, many relationships have become sour, and many homes have become sour leaving its victims depressed, frustrated and emotionally unstable.
            Love turns sour when we become careless with our partners, family members and friends and love turns sour when we do not consider our spouse in all we do. Love is meant to change lives, love is meant to bring to bring unity and harmony not bitterness, love is meant to be without limit and conditions. Love grows, let’s help each other, let’s love and live peacefully with our partners against all odds.


            Finally, love understands and bears all things, let’s learn to understand and love our family, friends and partners as Christ loves us….LOVE

THE BROKEN CALABASH

I want to take a journey back into the ancient times, the times of our fore fathers. When there was no technology or any form of advancement in the world, when things were done according to our culture and tradition.              My mum explained to me how marriage rites were carried out. How a woman is meant to keep herself and remain a virgin before marriage. She also explained to me how the groom’s family pays a woman’s dowry/bride price and takes items to the bride’s parent. Am sure some of you know this history.              After the marriage ceremony, the man always return back to his people and the brides people to tell them if his wife is a virgin or not. if the wife is a virgin, after the first intercourse on the wedding night, he uses a white piece of cloth to clean the blood that comes from the woman’s sexual organ. He then takes the piece of cloth to his family and the bride’s parent telling them he ...

A FULL HOUSEWIFE, A HELPMEET OR BOTH?

Feminist have come up with theories expressing the need for gender equality between a man and a woman. Although most of these theories have been countered several times, we can’t still rule out the fact that the position of a woman in the family, society and nation is a great one. Permit me to say women are the salt of the world. They make life sweeter when they are added in the right proportion and when treated otherwise you can imagine what the result will be. Without their presence everything becomes sour. The position of a woman in a home cannot be overemphasized, they run and manage the affairs of the home which include taking care of the husband, children, cooking meals, attending to guests and extended family members, buying items needed for everyday life and the list is endless. Although some husbands try as much as they can to help out in doing some of these things while some totally feel it’s the duty of a wife and they never help out. The attitudes of some of thes...

THE HUMAN NATURE

I was in church, then suddenly after a short message was preached, a pastor gave me a scripture   (Galatians 5:19) and immediately after I received it, rapture took place and I woke up immediately. I wasn’t very shocked because it wasn’t the first time I would dream about rapture but I asked what about this scripture.         This scripture inspired me to write this: Galatians 5:19(GNT)”what human nature does is quite plain, it shows itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions”. Human nature: the ways of behaving, thinking and feeling  that are shared by most people and are considered to be normal. After much thinking and pondering about this scripture and the definition of the Human nature, I realize that majority of the things considered as normal by people are actually very abnormal. This scripture explains that what human nature does is quite plain, very obvious for all to see, it manifest or show itself in immoral, filthy and indecent acti...
