Part 3 - Can You Hear me Now?...Good!

By: Pastor 'Deji Adewale.

Every bad relationship/marriage has its root cause in lack of/or poor communication. Communication in marital relationship is a continuous process, which must be clear and appropriately understood by both parties.

Communication breakdown is the first sign of marital disaster. Among the complaints we hear are “She just doesn’t understand me” or “He never listens to me”… Good/healthy communication is an art that must be learned, a skill to be mastered. It does not happen automatically, even in marriage.

Many couples talk “at” each other but don’t talk “to” each other. Just because they are talking doesn’t mean they are communicating well. Some couples only talk by arguing, make critical statements or negative comments.

An environment conducive to great communication (like growing a nice garden) must be built and nurtured deliberately and with great care, openness, trust & grace…for talking about the good things and easier to talk about tougher issues when they arise.

It is impossible to have any kind of healthy relationship without good communication, whether with our spouses, fiancées, other people or our relationship with God.

My prayer is that, in all our relationships, the grace to be more attentive, to listen more and value what others are saying, will be abundantly ours, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Happy New Year - From Our Pastor's Desk

January 2017 Our Month of Divine Perfection.

Welcome to this our new Month of Divine Perfection, in Jesus name.

Perfect means being complete, & without defect or blemish. Precisely accurate or exact. Flawless.

Psalms 138:8 – “The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me...” This is God’s promise to YOU, as a heavenly-minded believer that everything concerning you will be perfected, complete without any flaw. It is God Himself that promised, not you, not your Pastor, not your parents, husband/wife, not by your works, strength, gifts, talents, power, intellect, wisdom, not by your logic.

It is the Lord who has begun the good work within you; it is He who has carried it on; & it is He that will complete & perfect all that concerns you. The Lord also intends to perfect you. Yes, YOU! Not only the things concerning you, but also you, yourself.

The Psalmist says in Psalms 18:32 – “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect” God desires that your character be perfect, your relationship with Him be perfect.

In this Month of Divine Perfection,  He will most assuredly, beyond a doubt, bring to perfection your faith, your character.  He will perfect His purpose in your life. He will perfect your calling;

He will perfect your future. He will perfect His promises concerning you. He will perfect your spirit, body and soul.  Be blessed this month.

You shall be “…perfect and entire, wanting nothing”, in Jesus Name. Amen.
