HOW TO INVOLVE ANGELS IN YOUR FINANCE – Pst. Ife ADETONA
Father, we worship you.
We give you all the glory and honour. We thank you for your word to us that refreshes and enlightens. Bless us today Lord and fill us to the brim in Jesus Name. Amen
We started talking about angels
On Tuesday, I talked about what encountering angels is all about
I also talked about one of the functions of angels, if you missed it, you can read it up here https://healingnexusblog.com/interacting-with-angels/Tonight, I hope to touch three areas
1. Seeing Angels
2. Angels and your finance
3. Category of angels
We all feel all angels has wings but not so
If time permits, we will touch thatSEEING ANGELS
Even though I spoke extensively that a man does not need to necessarily see an angel to tell that he is high spiritually
Yet, God still give everyone if us room to SEE ANGELS from time to time
Note two words I used.Everyone
Time to timeThis is made possible to us through the channel of vision and revelation
Vision simply means seeing things spiritually
Revelation means knowing things supernaturally- either through vision (seeing) or other waysThrough these two main channels, we can see angels.
Joel 2: 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions
Note SEE VISIONS
all your young men…not few or only ministers shall see visions
And it is the same with daughters
So, through vision which is for us, we can all see angels
If I teach your you will begin to see visionsTypes of visions.
Picture
Trance-
Open vision
Night visionPicture– like a flash of light, something runs through your sight
Trance– like a short sleep and then you see a vision that lasts some seconds or more
Open vision-* when you see spiritual vision with your eyes open or something deep was open up to you either with a closed eye or opened eyes
Night visions is a dream but it reveals
So, you can see an angel through any of these meansMeanwhile, you can make a mistake expecting a regular angel
Like the way it appeared to Mary
Or the way it appears in movies1.SYMBOLIC VISIONS
There is something we call SYMBOLIC VISIONS
This is the area I need you to pay attention to
Many are seeing angels but didn’t know they are seeing angels
Symbolic visions works like this
You don’t see the actual thing in it’s real image but you see a thing that represents it
E.g, John the Baptist alone saw the Holy Spirit descend like a Dove 🕊️
He descended on Jesus
Now, Holy Spirit is not a Dove and a Dove is not the Holy Spirit
But the dove represents the Holy Spirit
So, someone can see a Dove and confidently say, OH, I SAW THE HOLY SPIRIT!
And you wonder,
Oh, that brother had an encounter with the Holy Spirit but I did not.What’s wrong with me?
No, he saw a Dove not actually the Holy SpiritIn the same vein, people see different things and they say- I SAW AN ANGEL HERE
If you ask anyone who has ever saw an Angel, to vividly describe what they saw, you will realize that what they saw are FORMS AND SYMBOLS
Meanwhile, seeing forms and symbols are not bad or wrong. In fact, they are yardstick of spiritual development.You can see a FORM related to angels
You may say, I see wings
Normally, the kinds of angles that are common are the Cherubims and they don’t have wings
It is the Seraphim that has wings and wherever you see them, they are carrying the throne of God
Isa 6:2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly
You can see a BRIGHT LIGHT
Especially if the light is moving, that’s an angel there
You may see a whitish substance standing. You don’t see the head or the body, just something like a white clothe
It’s likely to be an angel that you saw in a form
You may just see a hand, the back or some parts of the body
There was as time, I saw some jugs at a meeting
They were jar of oil
I knew that those jars were not just there, some people are holding it. And so, I told the people that there are angels in our midst holding jars
As I said it, somebody immediately saw angels holding jars
I hope you get that2. You may just HEAR
People have talked about hearing foodsteps
Hearing stuff can actually be a trick of the devil or an imagination and so, I don’t want to dwell so much on that3. You can see the form of other objects but it would mean Angels
You remember, Elisha and his servant
2Kings6: 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
This man only sat, Horses, Chariots and fire
Not like angels but we know that what he saw were angels in the form of chariots
Let me say this, if you actually see angels in their original form, you will believe you have seen a young man
They look very human. Like a middle age young man
Most of those that saw angels in their original forms in the Bible thought they had saw a man
When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demande Joshua 5:13-14 NLT
Here Joshua thought he saw a man and even went ahead to accuse him
The Bible tells us that we might be entertaining angels thinking they are men.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews13:24. You can feel angels
There’s something angels does
God just allow you see some only once but whenever they are around, you would know
The first and only time I saw the angel that used to minister in words with me was at a SADOZ retreat in the University of ilorin.
But anytime the angel is around today, I used to know
How?
There’s a dimension my teachings would go to
The angel that works with me on HOLY Ghost baptism, I am not sure I have seen him but once He’s around, I would know
How do I know?Breeze starts flowing out of my palm
I didn’t master those feelings at once but as I observe, I pick those facts
I hope some of us can relate wellHow to involve angels in your finance
Tuesday study had already established that angels are existing and we have minimum three angels working with us
So, to involve angels in your finance you need to:
1. Know that there are no money printing office in Heaven
So if you pray to God to send you money, he has nothing to send but light!
So if you pray to God to send you money, he has no cash to send
He can’t even transfer money to you
So, What God did was to put all the money you would need on earth
Except from one problem. The money you are looking for is with the devil
The Bible says Satan is the God of this world
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
The Bible also call him the prince of this world
1Co 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
That’s why devil is trying to take the money from the believers and the church but put it in club houses and in immoral places
While he try to starve mankind
For instance, he allow greed in Nigeria politicians to hoard the money
So, how do you get your own money out? ANGELS
Because demons are in charge of the lock room, angels can open it if you say the right prayersThe prayer model is like this:
Praises
Father, I thank you because you have supplied all my needs according to your riches in Glory in Christ Jesus.
Need and time
I require #80,000 for the payment of my school fees on or before 3rd of February.
Decree to demons
Satan, I command you to take your hands off my school fees right now in Jesus Name.
Command Angels
Oh yeah Angels, you are my ministers assigned to attend to me. I command you to get my money, #80*000 for school fees from the oven of darkness in Jesus Name.
IF THERE’S ANYONE STANDING ON YOUR WAY
I command every spirit controlling Mr. Segun making him to oppose my money to pack off this moment. Mr. Segun, yield to my voice because the heart of kings is with the Lord. Give way in Jesus Name.
If you have anyone in mind to give you the school fees
I put the spirit of my father unto subjection, be willing and give me all my school fees of #80,000 in Jesus Name. I come against hindrances and I ask angels to get the sum of #80,000 into your hand for you to send to me on or before March 3rd in Jesus Name. Amen.
Do this, and you have your money!
You’re Blessed in JESUS NAME. -
INTERACTING WITH ANGELS
You may get confused by the many messages on the Supernatural that you listen to but let me tell you this:
1. Seeing an angel is not a measure of spiritual growth
There’s no point TALKING WITH AN ANGEL either physically or through a vision. So, when I tell you that seeing ANGELS or seeing Jesus is not a measure of spiritual growth, take it from me
I have seen Lord Jesus Christ before in a vision speaking to me and it took a while. I know a young man who was desperate for these things and he ended up being Possessed Seeing angels is not seekable through prayers or fasting except if you want to hurt yourself
You may encounter a demon in the process
There’s absolutely nothing like praying to the point where you see angels2. Seeing angels is for the hard of hearing
Take this first fact from me Seeing or interacting with an angel is not necessary or important
This is it,
Those who are hard of hearing, are deaf people that could hear faintly
Like, he isn’t even a believer
If God knew that he wanted to use a man but this man is out of touch with him
Those who are hard of hearing, are deaf people that could hear faintly
When Ayo Babalola had his first encounter with a voice calling him, he wasn’t even a Christian but an idol worshiper
God may do something extra-ordinary just to get his attention
When Paul had the encounter with God, he was a murderer
So, if you see a Christian boast of seeing an angel talk to him, let him know that the experience was actually for natural men and not necessarily for spiritual men
If you want your horse to talk then you may have to desire to behave like Balaam
Even Balaam horse talked
I hope I am not dashing somebody’s hope3. Talking with angels is predestination and assignment based
But some men have been chosen before they were born for an assignment and that assignment requires seeing and talking with angels
Some spiritual men talk to angels
Everything I have said about angels so far applies to seeing Lord Jesus as well
If you don’t have such an assignment, you don’t need much experience
Is somebody angry to hear that
You may want to ask, BUT WHY?4. Talking with angels is purely a result of God’s prerogative
Man has almost no role to play in this.
Have I dismissed the works of angels among men? No.
That being said
Have I said people can’t see angels? No.
I just need you to approach with the right mindset
In fact, after this teaching, you’ll have your first angelic encounterWHY TALKING with an angel is purely God’s prerogative
God doesn’t want a New Testament to be led by visions of angels all the time1. God doesn’t want you to be led by your five senses but by His spiritHe was carried by the Spirit into a desert
Look at Philip-
Then he saw an Angel
He was carried by the Spirit into a desert
And that way, he won a soul and the African continent
Then the Holy Spirit led him on what to say and how to say it
God always want us to anchor on the Holy Spirit
And not to be carried away by other things
Those who are led by the Spirit are the sons of God
The Scripture says-
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God
They are not boys or girls or children but SONS
meaning, the mature son that is fit to be heir
At the time Babalola saw an Angel, he was even less of a babe
He didn’t say as many are led by angels2. God wants us to follow him by faith and not by sight
If you want sight, feelings, touch, go to doubting Thomas
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.EXISTENCE OF ANGELS
Now, let’s talk about angels
They are created beings by God that operates both in heaven and on the earth1. God wants you to know that angles are real
These beings relate with us, MAN!
They are God’s messengers that run to deliver his message and follow up on his wills
We are meant to relate and interact as they interact with us but not always in the regular assumption of talking to them
God wants you to believe that they exist
He wants you to acknowledge their involvement in the affairs of menDaniel knew angels were with him in the den
He knew an angel had covered the mouth of the lions all night
He didn’t see but he knew
And he never held a conversation with them directly or indirectly
Dan 6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths,PURPOSES OF ANGELS AMONG US
Understanding what angels do or are meant to do is the pathway to knowing how to relate and interact with them
Do you know that angels are in charge of money on earth?
There are no banks or cbn in heaven but angles can make money flow in your direction if you understand how
But for today, let’s examine the PROTECTION ROLE OF ANGELS
We’ll see how to harness that on Thursday
Heb 1:14 Are they, not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?To understand the protection role of an angel, the first thing you must acknowledge is that every believer had at least 3 angles guarding him
That time I was dead sick
I have seen my guardian angel once
I thought I would die
Why did God show me?
So, I saw this huge angel by me
I hope we will have time. If I teach you a bit about visions, you can see angels too
As a sign to assure me that I won’t die!
Meanwhile, I didn’t long or desire to see the angel.It was God’s prerogative
I wasn’t interacting or talking to them.I hope you get the difference
I saw that angel twice.
After that time, I had been sick a couple of times. I didn’t see the angel but I knew that I won’t die
I don’t have to.
I knew I can’t die.
My knowledge had increased beyond that
God had no reason to show give me a sign.
Meanwhile, not seeing the angel at other times doesn’t means he is not there
You may want to ask, what if my knowledge had grown the first time, will I still see the angel
I may likely not see it
So have angels watching over you as you read this….you may not see it but you must understand and believe itHe is!
How do I know that I truly have an angel?
Mat 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven
You were once a child, right?
Here, Jesus said every little child has an angel standing before God on their behalf in heaven
So, this angel has a job, to watch over you
Does it mean that when you grow up, you lose your angel?
Of course not
Psalms 91:
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
You hear about the earthquake happening in some places, but a Sadozite living abroad was miraculously spared
Your angels will even ensure that you don’t hurt as much as your foot
Even your foot
Not your head this time o
You know I told you that you have a minimum of three angels watching over you
There is angel goodness and mercy Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
You also have ANGEL GOODNESS & MERCYHow do you annex this security work of these angels into your life
1. BELIEVE
believe as I have taught you2. Remind yourself of the fact that you are surrounded by these angels
3. Call on them in times of need or fear
If you are in a troubled situation or you ran into a riot
Remind yourself that you have angels
Praise God for their existence around you
Decree that they keep you safeLet me give a practical
You must never pray in fears
You’re on a bus travelling and you have this fear of an accident
You just pray like this:
Father, I thank you because you’re my security
Thank you for your covenant of peace and safety
Thank you for mounting a guard around me
I rebuke the spirit of fear and death on my way on this journey
Thank you for giving me a guardian angel, angel goodness and angel mercy to watch over me to ensure that my foot is not hurt
That’s the simple way to say it and it is powerful
I command my angels who are ministering spirit to watch over me to keep me safe, this bus and everyone in it in Jesus’ Name. Amen
You may need to speak your prayers aloud even if it’s just by a whisper
Do this for everything and anything that needs protection, it works
Especially in the areas where you rebuked and decreed
In the next study, we will look at angels and financial provisions
The light shines in darkness and darkness comprehends it not -

SEEING MEN OF GOD IN A DREAM – Pst.Ife ADETONA
Question: I SAW YOU IN MY DREAMS, we talked but I didn’t remember the things you told me.
I receive such questions all the time about seeing a great man of God whom you revered in your dreams talking to you but didn’t remember a thing from your discussion.
Many feels something is wrong with them for not remembering. The thing is, what you heard in the dream, you must get it in the real life and that would only come from intimacy. So, when you see such dreams, it’s more of a leading for intimacy and relationship with the man of God than getting what your discussion in the dream was.
Those whom you remember things they say to you means that attention should be given to those instructions you heard. Where you didn’t remember, give attention to your relationship with the person.

SUPERNATURAL ABUNDANCE IN FAMINE – Pst. Ife ADETONA
One of the mandates God gave to me and SADOZ as a whole is to raise unto Him billionaire
It is to move people from poverty to prosperity!
2Co 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
I may not have all the money to give you but you see, I have what it takes for you to have a financial change of story and I am going to teach you.FACTS ABOUT KINGDOM PROSPERITY
1. God wants you to prosper
I am sure that is not strange to you
But I love the way it makes me feel
I knew God wanted me to live in DIVINE HEALTH, this is my 9th year of no sickness, no drugs!
Whenever I discovered God’s wish for me, I am ready to go for it stopping at nothing
Glory!
I discovered that God wanted me to prosper big time in my very low moments in 2016
So, whatever God says it’s a possibility for me, I just want to have it and I haven’t missed any
I was squatting with a family back then
Our house had no toilet or bathroom
I just resigned to the full time ministry
I had no hope or help in any man
I was searching my scriptures
I pray for you, PROSPER IN JESUS NAME
can you see this?
2Co 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Jesus became a sinner that you may be HOLY
He became sick that you may be HEALTHY
The Bible here telling us that JESUS BECAME POOR so that you may be MATERIALLY RICH
I think you should like it too!
I love itZechariah 1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem
You see, there is a limitation placed on one’s life if POVERTY is involved!
There is also a limitation placed on there kingdom of God where there is poverty
The kingdom of darkness is spreading fast through prosperity
Every limitation placed on your life by poverty is hereby lifted.
They are ready to kill, steal, drug just to have money to promote atrocities
But believers are complacent
Your eyes are opening
God plan for you and I is prosperity
Deu 15:6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thereIt is never to borrow but to be a giver
You will not borrow again!
You emerge a giver!
You shall not lack anymore!2.The Prosperity scheme of God is no respecter of famine
And this is our focus tonight
There is famine in Nigeria today
Another one has just being stirred
I am not so happy to inform you that, this is not the end of inflation
It will come to an end but surely not now!
Between now and then, God has a plan of escape for you
Famine is when there is dryness!
Inflation!
Hyperinflation!
Recession and so on.
Is like a Pilot getting worried about Lastma
God’s plan has nothing to do with all this
Or road safety
There’s no correlation on their route
Thus is a believer who is worried about things getting expensive around him
God planned that it would be NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
It will interest you to know that most people God turned their story from POVERTY TO PROSPERITY in the Bible, IT WAS DURING FAMINE.
Gen 12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
It was during SCARCITY and WANT
That was chapter 12
See, Chapter 13
Gen 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold
It doesn’t take time. It takes light
It takes the understanding of knowing what the Lord wants you to do and doing it
The same thing with Isaac
That was verse one
Gen 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar
In verse 12-
Gen 26
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
I don’t know how you start the first month of this year, but by the 12th month, you are emerging very great!
The same with Jacob, Joseph and the rest!
In fact as the price of food was getting high, Jacob was paying
As things goes high in this country, you will meet up paying in Jesus’ Name.3. It responds to covenant
God’s prosperity plan recognizes one authority COVENANT
Deu 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he *may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
The blessings will respond to COVENANT and covenant only
It’s about the COVENANT
What I will be doing this week and the next is to hight to you the COVENANT that works with KINGDOM PROSPERITY
if that is truly what you desire1. The Covenant of Sowing & Reaping.
You see, another word for earth is soil
You’re not permitted to take a thing from the SOIL until you have PUT something inside
This is the Principle of God
Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease
I know this is the part you don’t like but this is the ONLY PART THAT WORKS
SADOZ as a ministry does all of it.
There are various kinds of Sowing. I DO ALL OF IT ALL THE TIME
Jacob sowed in the time of famine
I guess he risks it all and went to sow it
Phi 4:15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning *giving and receiving,* but ye only.Paul calls it GIVING & RECEIVING
Jesus called it GIVE AND IT SHALL BE…..1. TITHING✅
I will highlight just two tonight
I have never seen a believer/unbeliever who doesn’t steals, cheat and HE PROSPERS.
If you see one, tell me.
Not even the richest man in Africa or in the world. Their records are not clean.
It is only God that can bless a man and make him rich without stealing or cheating
And that blessing is hinge on the Covenant of tithing.
The second one is SACRIFICIAL SEED
In January, some call it first fruit but not everyone is a salary earner
So, such person can switch to sacrifice
Some don’t want to give all their salary or more than that, they can also choose sacrificial giving
In SADOZ-
We receive a command from God to tell our members to give minimum of their three months salary to SADOZ MINISTRY
We also have the FIRST FRUIT SACRIFICE or sacrificial seed at the beginning of the month

FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO CONNECT TO MY SPIRITUAL FATHER – Pst.Ife ADETONA
Question: “I have a Spiritual Father, I don’t enjoy listening to his messages or reading his book. I am not just connecting, what can I do?”
Firstly, the PRIMARY purpose your spiritual father is meant to serve in your life as a mature believer is not to teach you mysteries and algorithms of the cosmological exegesis parallelism.
He is to BE YOUR COVER AND GUIDANCE (advice). You see all those mysteries and the rest, leave it to your mentors & teachers.
In my case, what I know is that whenever my spiritual father prays for me, God answers. When I sow a seed to him, I see RAIN! Bishop Oyedepo loves to mention the kingdom principles he learnt from different mentors but rarely will you hear him say I learnt ABC from Baba Adeboye. But he would always say that when Baba laid hands on him, he receives the Spirit of Wisdom. So, as a culture every year, in May, Bishop Oyedepo would invites Pastor Adeboye to lay hands on him and the whole family.
That’s why if you pick a man whom you have no physical contact with as your spiritual father, you are only playing.
Your Father gives you SPIRITUAL COVERING & GUIDANCE. He is appointed over you not by what he has or knows but by God’s wisdom just like your earthly father.
You will respond to your father by SERVICE (Physical- as opportune & Financial) and Honour.
If your spiritual father is resourceful- has books and messages but you finds it difficult to connect to those materials. Then, you may have to change your approach. Maybe you felt you should listen to his messages and read his book just because he is your father. That’s not bad but where it seems that’s not working. You should approach his materials from the angle of “NEED“.
Are there areas you need more exposure? Run through his materials and see if you can at least read ONE or listen to ONE. If you can’t find an area of need, then, run through his resources and see if you can find any that will attract you and give you a body of knowledge. Either way should do and gradually, you will enjoy doing so.

YOU HAVE ALL YOU NEED – Pst.Ife ADETONA
One of my sons said: I thought when I began to tell visions, I will command a crowd. I told him that I thought when we begin to have signs and wonders, we will have a lot of people.
There’s this pastor around my house. He kept repeating a miracle God did through him. He was saying it in a way like: “can’t you guys in this area see that God is here? Leave your churches and come here!”
Okay, he didn’t literally say that but that was what he was insinuating. He actually said: “if I were those people, it is this Church that I would be coming to all my life”. You see, even the people that had the miracle didn’t become his members. A pastor friend told me how God used her to heal the mad and other miracles yet even the man that was cured of madness didn’t become a member.
So, whenever I see someone who said: “he wants to major in calling names and all so that people can believe in his ministry. I know such a person is just kidding and being naive. The “people” you are trying to impress and make you lose focus- ask yourself, does it worth it?
No one can receive a thing except it is given to him by the Lord. Use the grace God gives you to bless those he sent to you. Your audience needs what you have and what you have is what your audience needs.
I am not discouraging you against the use and manifestation of the prophetic gifts. If you know me too well, I encourage and impart believers to manifest it even more. But when we talk about ministering, you should have the ability and God will use you in it but I am talking of “majoring”. If you try to major in a dimension but you keep struggling in it, it is simply not your place. Simply put: “I can drive but I am not a professional driver
In my earlier post, I even state that you can be called a prophet but not flow in the prophetic dimension of calling names and phone numbers. Don’t struggle there or keep forcing it. God doesn’t think like man thinks. You are just a clay. YOU HAVE ALL YOU NEED.

Secret of successful marriage – MotherTreasure
What do you think a successful Marriage is
Before anything, let’s see what a successful Marriage isIf it is when you see people blush over each other
Wear the same outfit
Shout a couple of goals on the internet etc.
Though they could be present they are not the core thing
As beautiful as those this is, they don’t define a successful Marriage,
Things
Let’s see what a successful Marriage looks like✍🏽Successful Marriage is staying happily in marriage, fulfilling purpose together, and walking in unity till old age or till death do you part.
If any of these three is missing we can’t categorize such a Marriage as a successful one
Staying Happily in marriage
Fulfilling purpose together
And walking in unity till old age or till death do you part
Those three look very simple to achieve but there is so much work to put in to have those things surface
These three are core things we should look out for before we conclude that marriage is a successSo tonight I will be opening your eyes to the secret of a successful Marriage. You need to know that there is no single SUCCESSFUL marriage that happened by accident
Though achievable you must put in the work.Are you married and looking for a way to make it a success?
Are you a single brother or sister that aspires to a beautiful Marriage?
Then you must pay full attention
If your marriage will be a success, it must be founded in God✍🏽Founded in God
There is nothing good the devil or the flesh will give you
Genesis 2:18–22:Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”…So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; and the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
If you follow the devil’s instructions or your desires in choosing it will be a tough one
It is important to allow God
You must go to Him in prayers
You must close your eyes to your self-desires and follow God promptly
Else you will only be wishing and wishing
Let God do the finding
Allow God to give you the prepared one for you
It usually gives a smooth ride
2. PreparationYou must be prepared
Prepare yourself with knowledge
You must be equipped with the right knowledge
Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.Proverbs 19:2
Many people are caught in the web of fallacy
Imagining the imaginable after watching a Korean movie
Now let’s see the things that make up a good marriage
Imagining breakfast in bed and many other irrelevant things
Equip yourself with the knowledge of what to do and what not to do to have a successful Marriage✍🏽Forgiveness
1 Peter 4:8: Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.
If you think those with successful Marriage didn’t offend each other at one point or the other, you will have to think again
There will be an offense
You must be able to look past your partner’s mistakes if you will have a successful Marriage
You will commit error but you must be able to forgive each other
There will be mistakes
Forgive should be a gift you are willing to give at all times
Whether they are sober or not, they deserve to be forgiven
If you think they are not changing over time, you can forgive and move on
Though the married can’t just walk away😹
Forgive your wife
Forgive your husband
The other couple you see that appears like their home is Faultless has just learned one thing you didn’t learn, which is FORGIVENESS✍🏻CLEAVE
Matthew 19:4-6:
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said,
‘ For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
You must learn to CLEAVE
To cleave means, to become one with your spouse
If you allow your family member no matter how close come between you, You have uncleaved
If you allow your mother to come between you and your spouse, you have uncleaved
Become one in everything
Your partner first
How they will feel over an issue first
What they think first
If any opinion will be welcomed from outside they it should be someone you both agreed to consult
What they want first
Many men are still sucking their Mama’s breast
They put their mothers over their wives
If you love your mother so much that you can’t imagine taking any meaningful step in your life without consulting her pls stay unmarried
Before you mirror your wife’s character with the next-door or woman’s own, mirror yours with her husband’s too😒
Before you say, didn’t you see how mummy Teresa honor and Respect her husband, check out how daddy Teresa makes his wife his priority🤷🏽♀️
Cleave
Everything
Everything
Every single thing
Must be done by putting the other person first
Make friends with your spouse
Not after you have considered how you and one of your family members you take the dare to your heart will feel, you now drag your spouse along 👼🏽✍🏽Friendship
Proverbs 17:17: A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Be there for them
It is very important
Making friends with them makes it easy to forgive and discover who they are
You will get to know them intimately
What their views could be on a particular issue
You get to rob minds together
Create time to play, gist, and go out together, isn’t that what friends do?
And before you know it you are 90% on the same page
Let’s see more points on Thursday as God will be helping usThank you, Jesus, for the light shared tonight
It shall birth success indeed our lives in Jesus’ name

DESIRING THE PROPHETIC – Pst. Ife ADETONA
⚠️ you may not like the language of this post, but if you don’t mind, let’s go.
First, I want you to know that the “prophet’s office” is a very large one. So big that every prophet is distinctive from the others. We can go further to categorize. Some see VISIONS and GIVE WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE & REVELATION as if they are drinking water. If you’re not close to them, you would think maybe they fasted or prayed to enter that realm but not so. It seems to them as natural as a talent just like calling someone gifted in songs. Even if they sleep all night while others keep vigil, when they wake, it is vision or word.
If five of us enter a room. Those with this ability have already seen ten things in 10 seconds. While you are still trying to scan, they have given words of knowledge and wisdom. Again, I tell you, they didn’t necessarily “train” to be there. A day convert appointed for this role would see more than a 10-year prayerful pastor who is not pre-ordained for this. It is pre-ordination. They only fast, pray, train and live a holy life to keep it fine-tuned. The gift itself came to them by predestination.
So, it is not all ministers that would be prophets and it is not all prophets that would be calling names and phone numbers. If you struggle to get visions and knowledge or it doesn’t flow naturally as you see in some people, do not force it. Do not blend your ministry or tilt it towards it. Do not think that because God said you’re a prophet, you must MAJOR in that dimension and do not feel inadequate if you are not.
Your audience is waiting. They were selected right from heaven even before your ministry started. Forget about who or what is in the vogue. God knows what your audience needs and it is not what you think they want (visions). Let those who like visions go for it. Some are meant for what you offer, they will come.
Look at great Ministers like Sam Adeyemi. Is his church scanty? Is he a prophet? How many times have you seen Pastor Kumuyi or Oyedepo call names or give words to specific people even when their congregation was few? How many words of wisdom/revelation does “prophet” Adeboye has in a 45-minute ministration? Are their ministries not blessed?
Thank God for prophets who major in seeing visions and calling out people, especially those doing it in the right way.
I have also not said God won’t use you in this dimension but if God does not ALWAYS or READILY use you in that dimension, don’t force it. Desire it, yes but don’t force it. A fish swims naturally in water even though it can still walk on land. Find your water and flow in it. Your faithfulness to your uniqueness will bring you closer to your desire than ambition.
Shalom.
