Hello friends... Hope you're having a beautiful day. I sure am having a beautiful day and I am super excited about continuing this series. The individual who speaks receiving gifts as a love language never comes back home without bringing little or big gifts for loved ones. Hmm! I must say, from my point of view, that this is the most expensive love language. 🙂 So, take note, if you know someone who brings something for you anytime they come visiting, no matter how small e.g. Biscuits, flowers etc. or requests you bring something for them virtually every time you go out or are fond of sharing what they have with you, be prepared, this could be their love language. Deliberately try to get them something when you come around, no matter how little it is, to let them feel your love. There is a principle from the scriptures that says: "Do unto others as you would want others to do to you." (Luke 6:31) Most people apply this principle, howbeit, unconsciously mos

Hello friends... Hope you're having a beautiful day. I sure am having a beautiful day and I am super excited about continuing this series, so sorry for the short break. Acts of service is the love language spoken by the Prince/Princess Charming who helps you carry your bag when he/she sees you coming down the street, assists you with house chores, assists or helps you generally in one way or the other. I must say that this love language is unique, in its own way, as with orher love languages and would be of great advantage if mastered. Not everyone one naturally speaks it, but like other love languages, you can master it by conscious training yourself to speak it deliberately. On this ground, I would like to emphasise that we all have the capacity of speaking all the five love languages but it takes deliberate effort to speak them. We can however, speak them fluently by the help of the Holy Spirit. Speaking all the love languages is necessary, especially when we notice t

Hello friends... Hope you're having a beautiful day. I sure am having a beautiful day and I am super excited about continuing this series. If your love language is Quality time, you would notice that you love giving attention to friends and loved ones, you listen attentively when they speak and you spend time with them. Also, you'll notice that you feel hurt when you are ignored by someone you are close to. Although, this may not be the love language of other people around you (some people may even interpret it as time wastage or possessiveness), you have to understand their own love language, learn it and speak it to them. However, knowing your own love language (self awareness) helps alot, especially within the marriage institution, it helps your spouse a great deal. On the other hand, a person whose love language is words of affirmation is very good at compliments, giving encouragement, knowing the right words to describe an individual or situation, may as well be g

  Hello to you, my lovely reader. Thank you for following my blog and for your constant encouragement.  Today, we would continue our series 'Showing Love the Right Way.'  I first heard and read about Love languages in Gary Chapman's 'Five Love Languages' which have different editions - For singles and for married (I recommend this book, it is a must-read for every individual).  Basically, five love languages exist, they are: Quality time Words of affirmation  Acts of service  Receiving gifts  Physical touch  Before I proceed with the concept of Love languages, I would first state the qualities of love as it is in the Holy Bible. 1st Cor. 13:4-7 says: "Love is patient, Love is kind, does not envy, does not boast, is not proud, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs, does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres.&q

Hello lovely readers. Today, we'll be continuing our discussion on this very important topic - Love. Hmm! L-O-V-E, a four letter word that has existed as far back as anyone can remember, it has been interpreted, misinterpreted and reinterpreted (if anything like that exists).We would safely assume that we are all familiar with the secular angle of love i.e philos, eros etc. Today, a new angle is going to be discussed, from the Christian's perspective! Do you know that Love is the major example that Jesus Christ came to show us? Two major commandments given by Jesus establish this fact: 1. Love the Lord thy God with all their heart and with all thy soul. (Matt.22:37&38) 2. Love thy neighbor as thyself. (Matt.22:39&40) Come to think of it, the ten commandments were summarized into two and truly, in reality, it's only through love that you can fulfill the ten commandments. Jesus made it clear that to prove that you love Him, you have to obey His commandme

Hello people, It's a new day today, so what should we discuss? WOW! I have a great idea... A very interesting topic... LOVE! What exactly is love? This four letter word has been a controversial subject for a long time now. I won't claim to be an expert on the subject matter but I'm willing to share my little knowledge with you. It is also referred to as PHILOS. Love (philo) is defined in many ways by different people. My own definition? Here it comes: Love is a condition of the heart and it has its origin in God. Yes! God. It is a feeling that is strongly felt by an individual towards a fellow human being, animal or thing. At this junction, I must make it clear that there is a huge difference between LOVE and LUST, While love is a condition of the heart that is deeply felt by an individual, lust is just a physical response of the body of an individual to another person, it is driven by hormones and it passes with time, unlike love. Love, as most things

  Hello lovely Readers, thank you for staying with me and for your constant encouragement. Today, we'll be discussing a sensitive topic which is Dishonesty. It has become a norm in our society today for people to be dishonest. People say one thing and mean another. And what is the end result? Distrust. Yes! Distrust. A worm that is slowly eating up our lives as individuals and collectively. I'll like to draw our attention to the Holy Bible, if you take your time to study it, you'll notice a lot of emphasis on Honesty. "Let your yeah be yeah and your nay be nay." "Say the truth and the truth shall set you free." Dishonesty is born out of a mindset of fear, the fear that if they say the truth, they will be punished or ridiculed especially when they make a mistake. The question I like to ask myself is "What is the worst thing that can happen if I say the truth?" The worst thing that can happen is death, but remember the Christian
