“And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25). When most people think of intimacy, they generally think about sexual intimacy, but intimacy is about much more than sex. There are several ways to be intimate with your spouse, and physical […]
I think it was Benjamin Franklin who said “Honesty is the best policy…“, and I would have to agree. Many people feel that there must be an exception, as it seems that to every rule there is an exception. They suppose that it is not always wise or kind […]
“For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy” (1 Corinthians 7:14). When I originally did my study on the seventh chapter of […]
When you think about your favourite things about life, having friends must be right up there with eating cake! Friends satisfy our most basic needs for acceptance, belonging and care. Friends tell us that we are worthwhile…we are appreciated and we are loved. Everybody needs a friend. And there […]
Unrealistic expectations in marriage have been called the “Silent Marriage Killer”. This dishonourable title is actually well earned, because our expectations pave the way for disappointment, bitterness and resentment, which steal our joy from enjoying whatever is good in our marriage. So it is important that as we […]
Hey y’all. Happy weekend! This is my first blog post spotlight in a long time. I got caught up in the Author life and left the Bloggers life for a while. I’ve felt the need and the push to come back and interact with my family on WordPress […]
This is probably the hardest thing for anybody to do, but it is also the most rewarding act of love. Jesus taught us this principle of losing to gain, through His death on the Cross, where He gave up His life to gain the world (John 3:16)! He gave […]
Communication is a HUGE topic. I know this because it was one of the modules I did when I studied Social Work in University. Since we are relational beings, social beings, communication affects us in multi-dimensional ways and our ability to communicate well can actually determine our success […]
In the first part of this series, I established that marriage is a gift that we ought to be grateful for. We looked at why we must not only appreciate our gift, but appreciate our spouse too. I also shared five things we should be doing to show our appreciation to our […]
Over the next six months, I will be meditating on marriage, with a post a week about what marriage means, how we should approach marriage and deal with challenges that arise in marriage, using the 26 letters of the alphabet as a guide – as well as building […]
Hey y’all… As I am writing this, it’s 3:53am, the morning after binge watching the first four episodes of the new TV series “God Friended Me”. I got a burden about the time I was going to bed to write about this series on The Spotlight, but I […]
Hey, so I finally read Tomi Adeyemi’s book! And truly, I wanted to shout my opinions about it from the roof tops. But I thought I owed it to myself, and my readers, to take my time and write a proper review on The Spotlight. Saying “finally read”, […]
Hey, hey! Happy New Year! How are you??? It’s been a while since I wrote on The Spotlight or even an article on Grace and Truth. I’m going through some things, but mostly in a place of listening and growth with God. Will write as He inspires and […]
Erhuvwun was hungry, but chose to fast that day, especially as Amadi was compelling her to go with him to the idol shrine. When she’d turned down her food, Amadi had not been phased. Rather he put her to some hard work, so that she would be tired and hungry. Erhuvwun […]
