TRUE TEST OF LOVE

Hi friends, I want to take out this time to give you five tools with which you can apply to your relationships and find if you really are in love and if you are going to last in that relationship. This may also work the other way round. You may use this to find out if you are actually loved or you're just a pushover, but whatever the case may be, take these five tools, apply them to your relationships and be the judge of yourself if you are in love or out of love for your spouse.

THE GIVING TEST OR TEST OF SACRIFICE
Love gives, even fake love. When you are with a person that you love, ask yourself this question “Am I willing to sacrifice for the sake of this person?” Whatever you cannot sacrifice for the one you love shows you are not really in love with that person.

THE QUARREL TEST OR FORGIVINESS TEST
Quarrel and misunderstandings are sometimes part of relationships. Relationships have a way of releasing the bad aspect of you. Some people think they are perfect until they meet someone who begins to bring out their mistakes and faults. Most of these bad aspects may bring quarrel or misunderstanding in relationships. Another aspect is when they default in the relationship, may be they broke your trust, they cheated on you. Ask yourself “How much am I willing to forgive or take this from this person, because love covers multitude of sins (Prov. 10:12, 1Pet. 4:8).

ADMIRATION TEST
Ask yourself, “Am I ashamed of the one I love outside, am proud to introduce them to my friends, colleagues and family members?”

THE CRISIS TEST OR THE FIRE TEST
When you go through problems do you still stand with the one you love? There are occasion where people have left their spouse because of problems, may be financial, spiritual, health, material or economical problems. Age will test your love at this stage.


HABIT TEST OR NAKEDNESS TEST
Ask yourself, “How much time do you spend to know how your spouse behaves? How much am I willing to open myself in trust? Do I need to hide some things from my spouse or should I tell everything? Am I lying about anything that can break their heart? Is there anything in my past that I am ashamed of relating to them? Can I be able to cover their nakedness and keep their deepest secretes? All these are the questions you ask yourself at this stage.

Friends, test yourself with these 5tools before you make that engagement, but in all, your peace of heart should lead you to whom you decide to share your heart with.

Send me your comments.... Love you

25 FACTS ABOUT OBAMA

By   KelseyWarner   on March 4, 2016 Inside Gov As the final remaining year of the Obama administration is well underway, the legacy that President   Barack Obama   will forge in history remains hotly contested.   Conservatives argue   Obama is the “worst president ever” while   liberals have claimed   he has “done more good for this country than any president before him.” He likely will not play the role of a “lame-duck” president, as the administration has yet to slow down. Obama currently finds himself in the middle of a   heated standoff   with the Republican-led Senate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. He still pursues a workable   plan to close GuantanamoBay , one of his 2008 campaign promises. As his term nears its end, the passionate, vocal opinions on both sides of the political aisle may reach their crescendo as his legacy becomes ripe for interpretation. When reflecting on Obama’s time in the White House, the f...

7 FACTS ABOUT PRIDE

I want to talk about the issue of pride as regards to us as individuals. Pride is something we exhibit in our day to day lives, but nobody would agree that he or she is proud. But I would want us to know that at certain times in our lives we have shown pride.  Pride goes in two ways, you may either attribute it as a mark of honour to someone you love or yourself. For example "When a husband is proud of his wife, or a father is proud of his son who graduated with a first class honours" and many other examples I can cite. People can also be proud of themselves to boost their self confidence. For example: someone can be proud of been single, or someone can be proud of been fat just to knock off negative views and opinions of people towards those that are fat. The other way is when the person is full of himself/herself, super imposes, boozy, dominarian, arrogant, boostful. rebellious, egocentric and full of self justification. This is where the problem lies about p...

ADOPTING THE CHURCH GROWTH STRATEGY INTO THE BUSINESS WORLD

The business world should take sometime and study the church organization and try to implement its findings into its operation. Every thriving church today thrives not only because of its spiritual principles but also because of its application of business principles in managing the church as an organization. It might interest you to know that the church is 90% administration and 10% spiritual. The church is the wealthiest organization on earth and its uncontestable. But beyond its spiritual ties and beliefs in the divine, one needs to begin to looking into how they are able to maintain growth over the decades, fund mind blowing projects, with people trooping into the churches on daily basis. I think the church has the most unique marketing strategy of all times and its best if organizations begin to take a look into it. Having worked with a religious organization for over a decade, I have come to understand the reason why the church attracts so much people to invest willin...
