Christian: My lntroduction. Wonderful people of God! I am Jossy Okoduwa from Edo State, Nigeria. I just discovered this platform few days ago. By the grace of God l am a born again christian. I surrendered my life to Christ in 2007, after my graduation from Federal Polytechnic Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria. It was indeed a wonderful experience! On that faithful day, l decided to attend a normal Sunday service in a branch of church of God mission located at Auchi in Edo State, Nigeria. I came into the church building and met the service was already in progress. A lady stood at the front of the congregation declaring words of knowledge by the Spirit of Our Lord Jesus Christ. She said there is a young man here, you are chosen by the Lord as His Vessel to bear His name but you are dwelling in sexual immorality. She continued and said the Lord will wash and sanctify you ... The power of Our Lord Jesus Christ came upon me and l felt suspended on the air. It was as if my two legs were held by invisible hands right on the air. I began to cry. Brethren, since l was born l have not seen myself cried in that manner. The pastor of that church came to the pulpit to preach even before he finished preaching, l have already made up my mind to surrender to Our Lord Jesus Christ. At the end of his preaching, the pastor gave room for alter call, frankly speaking l was the first person to answer alter call and l cried profusely again. I gave my life to My Saviour Jesus Christ and since that day l have no regret. Brethren, l will be indeed grateful if l am accepted by all in this platform in order for me to send my regular christian - articles for our consideration.

The Virgin's Seed (Birth) of Jesus: Pt ll In the first episode, we learned that Satan the devil deceived the first seeds of God named Adam and Eve. Satan converted them to his own seeds, they forsook the will of God and began to do the biddings of Satan the devil. God who originally created and designed Adam and Eve as His own seeds to do His biddings was undermined and neglected. So many of us are not aware that Satan has vowed that the will of God won't be done on the earth and our participation / cooperation in this battle either with God or Satan determines who wins this ancient battle on the earth. Our ignorance hasn't at any moment helped God in this battle. Our lack of cooperation and ignorance in executing this battle often gives Satan advantage. The Almighty God who shouldn't have lost any battle, we are making Him to suffer defeat almost at all time. Remember ignorance is not an excuse in battle, it is only an advantage to the opposing side (enemy). The Almighty God who created us as His seeds is not a loser, neither is He weak in battle but we are the people throwing His victory away to Satan in this battle; just because we do not know that God brought us to the earth as His own seeds to cooperate with him to abolish the will of Satan the devil on earth. We shouldn't allow Satan the devil to overcome us and convert us to his own seeds to fight against God's will. Again, so many of us do not understand what it is to serve God! Serving God is not about doing our will or that of Satan the devil but continue to tell God l am sorry, please forgive me. As long as we continue to do our will or that of Satan the devil, God can never overcome Satan in this battle. The focus of the devil in this battle is that the will of God won't be done on earth. Finally, this lesson is not coming to condemn us but chastise us, so that as God's seeds we should always be available for God in order to frustrate the will of the devil on earth.

The Virgin's Seed (Birth) of Jesus: Pt One. Christianity started on the alter of purity and sacrifice and it will also end on the alter of purity and sacrifice; anything less than that is not Christianity at all but a mere religion. Let's give God our imagination for a minute! If there was no virgin Mary and Joseph kind of persons on the earth, what would have been the fate of mankind as far as God's plan for man's redemption is concern? God's plan for man's salvation would have been thwarted by Satan the devil whose agenda is to make mankind dwell in impurity and suffer God's judgement at the end. God be praised that there were Mary and Joseph kind of persons on the surface of the earth. Don't tell me that Mary and Joseph kind of persons are everywhere! Oh yes! I know that there is no nation or continent where virgins are not found! But what l mean is this, there may be virgins everywhere but are they available for God to partner with, in order for His will and agenda to come to pass / fulfilment in the affairs of men on the earth? God's available seeds are scarce on the surface of the earth. For example, God created Adam and Eve as His own seeds through which His plans and agenda were to come to fulfilment on the earth. It happened that Adam and Eve gave themselves to the devil, he corrupted them and they became unavailable for God to use. Satan took advantage over their unavailability for God and brought his own first '' seed '' to the earth through them and his name was called Cain. Satan executed his evil agenda against God and mankind by killing Abel (God's seed) through his own seed called Cain. The Almighty God recorded lost again for the second time after Satan first succeeded in corrupting Adam and Eve and made them unavailable for God but available to himself in order for him to fill the earth with impurities and wickedness, thereby provoking God's judgement upon mankind; God's intended seeds created and designed by God to help Him actualize His plan and agenda on the earth...

Golden tool for a blissful marriage (pt 2): In my previous article, we began to talk about '' Love '' as a tool for a blissful marriage. That the kind of love that makes marriage blissful is beyond feeling and sight; such love must be deep rooted in the heart of both couples. It was deduced that any marriage where true love is present, crisis can never destroy such marriage rather its strengthens the cord that binds the persons involved. It was also mentioned that true love is not in born but a gift received from God by someone who has attained the true knowledge of God. That God's love towards mankind is never feeling or sight based; otherwise we would have long been disengaged from the earth because of our manner of disobedience to God every day. Today, we shall look at the relationship between feeling (emotion) and true ''Love '' in marriage. I have been wondering why some many marriages around the world are failing and the rate of divorce on the increase. Sometimes, l thought marriage was originally designed by God to fail, considering the rate of marital crisis across the continents. In my deep search for answers to so many questions surrounding failed marriages, l have found out from the manual of creation, the holy bible, that God never originally designed marriage to fail. That the reason for marital failure is lack of knowledge of true '' Love ''; which l simply referred to as '' the author and finisher of marriage ''. I have found out that marriage was originally designed by love (God), made to function by love and enjoyed with love. Love is the basic foundation for a blissful marriage. Until would-be partners have tasted of this love, our dreams or aspirations of a blissful marriage will remain a mirage or an illusion. Again, Love holds the key to other salient virtues expected from couples in marriages; such virtues are; faithfulness or fidelity, patience, self control, tolerance, to mention but a few. These are all by-product of a true love. True love is not feeling or emotion but true love does create feeling or emotion. To have feeling or emotion for someone is never something bad but an important means of connection to one another. Feeling or emotion can evolve as a result of certain chemical reaction (hormones) within the human body triggered by internal or external factors. Feeling or emotion can fluctuates at any given point in time depending on the nature of internal or external factors. Love regulated by internal and external factors is nothing but a mere emotional rampage. No wonder, Selman in 2020, defined feeling or emotion as temporary disposition based on something we considered pleasant about someone or object. Love based on feeling and emotion is temporal and should never be trusted in marriage. Marriages can never be blissful on such a sinking foundation Again, building anything on feeling and emotion is a guarantee for failure and frustration. Feeling or emotion has brought so many marriages into trouble. Feeling (emotion) based love always fizzled out especially when there is a negative emotional disposition occasion- ed by unpleasant occurrences or situations such as; infidelity, disappointment, anger, lies, to mention but a few. A number of things can as well create a positive emotional disposition such as; captivating appearance, good character, good family background, financial affluence, sound spirituality, to mention but a few, but non of these virtues can be ascribed as love. For example, someone could erroneously be attracted to a particular girl simply because of her beauty or character but when such beauty or character plummets, the emotional love for such a girl will inadvertently dropped because such love was based on positive emotional disposition. Nevertheless, to be attracted to a girl simply because of beauty or character is not bad but such must never be a basic foundation for marriage. Establishing marriages on feeling or emotion is nothing but an impulsive crap. Feeling or emotion can be deceptive and is not an accurate measure of love. No one can rightly say that feeling or emotion is bad but establishing conjugal relationship on it is one of the greatest mistakes of couples in marriage.

Children by behavior don't merit good things from their parents yet they enjoy all that their parents have by virtue of their right and privileges in that family. Therefore, everyone in relationship with God enjoys same right and privileges in the family of God. We don't merit God's goodness and kindness! We are mere recipients of his benevolence!

Golden Tool for blissful marriage ( love): Love according to Merriam-webster is defined as strong affection for another arising out of kingship or personal ties. The kind of love that makes marriages blissful is beyond feeling and sight. Such love must be deep rooted from the heart of both partners otherwise marriages are bound to collapse anyday especially when a partner persisently overstepped his or her boundary. Any marriage where true love is deep rooted in the heart of both partners, crisis can never destroy such marriage rather its strengthens the cord that binds the two parties together (love). This is true because such love is not born out of feelings and sight. True love is not in born but a gift gotten from ones' knowledge of God. According to the holy Bible, God is love and he that dwells in love abides in God. True love has its source in God; God's love towards mankind is never feelings and sight based. Otherwise mankind would have long been wiped out of the earth considering our manner of disobedience to God every day. wishing you all joyful ready jossy References: Holy bible; king James version.
