Unity of Purpose - The love relationship you truly desire

'Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble' - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

The reason scriptures advocate that two people are better than one is because there is an assumption that two people who are together can help each other get back up if one person falls. Where two people are together however, but can't help each other get back up, I can't say those are the two people scriptures say are better off than one.

To really fulfill the advantage scripture sees in two people being better off than one, the both of them would have to be going in the same direction, for the same purpose. And I believe these are the kind of 'two people' scriptures speak of. Two people who are of similar vision, and ideologies. Two people who can pick each other up in life’s journey. Two people who can really help each other succeed. 

I've never really been able to separate 'Purpose' from 'Relationships'. Can two walk together except they agree?

As a believer, your purpose, 'The why', God sent you here is your core business on earth, everything else has to be done to foster that purpose, including dating relationships, and ultimately marriage. If you're reading this, you most likely care about being in a fulfilling relationship, and you have a walk with God. Allow me suggest to you that you are not ready for a relationship until you know your purpose and are secure in your calling. You also do not want that relationship if you already know your purpose and that relationship does not look like a vehicle to foster that purpose.

What am I saying exactly? Take a break from seeking out a relationship, and focus on finding out what your purpose and calling is. If you already know those, answer this for yourself, "is the relationship I am after going to be a unifying of two people who can help each other succeed?". You genuinely do not want to be the one in a relationship where 'Two are not better than one".

    This is really interesting! And needs to be louder. It’s so bad that even believers go into relationships because they feel it would make them valid and by then they would discover their purpose and hope to do it with that person. And as such the person calls the shot in their lives. Meanwhile that relationship is making them blind to who they really are. God help us!

TO THE STRUGGLING CHRISTIAN

Image
2 minutes read Do you journal? I journal a lot. I've always had diaries since I was a child. When it became less effective to have them in hard copy form, I started to journal on my laptop, and now I journal on the Notes app on my phone. I'm new to blogging, but definitely not new to putting my thoughts into writing. Journaling for me is therapeutic. I put down whatever is going on in my life, the exact way I feel, what I'd like to do about it, and what I eventually do about it. Last year though, I saw God do something through my journaling habit. He showed me growth and how He's working on me.  I look at some of the things I wrote down, the way I felt about myself, prayers said to God, and I realized that He heard and answered them all. 21st September 2018 I'm learning that my imperfections are beautiful I'm learning to love me   I have been learning this a long time, maybe it will take a lifetime to unlearn all I learned wrong, but I won't stop lea...

UNRAVELING THE ONE- A CHAT WITH DR. FEMI OSUNLUSI

Image
5 minutes read I listened to this VN just this morning, and thought you had to listen too. The initial plan was to type out a few of the things Dr. Femi shared with me, so that you can read, but listening to this, I'm fairly certain I cannot capture a lot of what he said adequately, so with permission, I'd send the audio file on the platform. This however is for those who are not able to listen for one reason or the other. Host: What is your idea of the one? Dr. Femi : My idea of the one is not really an idea, it’s a person. She is a person. The one for me is the woman I'm married to. She makes everything make sense, and this isn't just guy rhymes. She's the one I feel extremely comfortable with, extremely vulnerable with, and extremely compatible with. It would be cliché to say she doesn’t complete me because I'm complete in myself, but the truth is, she completes me, I complete her, and we complete each other. Host : Is there a match made in heaven or do I cho...
