I really bless God that I’m a part of this great functioning family. From Sistars and Suitors, a good foundation for building a home was set and further strengthened here in the Mothars collection. Delivery time for me was a sweet adventure as I had reported in the office that day before going to the hospital for routine check. The doctor said ‘madam, do you know you are in labour? You are already 4cm gone!!!! That’s how I was taken to the delivery room where in 4 hours time I put to bed (its my first baby – the next will be better). God is awesomeeeee. Thank you Pastors for the WORD!!! spoken by God through you.
Dear Pastors, I want to say that This forum has really blessed me and my family, Thank you so much. Please can you help me expatiate on the headings one has to consider in creating a family budget.
Thank you very much for this opportunity.
The truth is that there is no one best budget that can fit every family. So what has been put together for you here is a guide to enable you fashion your unique family budget depending on the uniqueness of your home needs. Remember that items on the list have to be mutually derived and agreed upon by your spouse. Notice the budget shows the source of the budget income and the expenditure based on the income. It is important that you include all possible categories of expenditure. If a category is not relevant for the month, simply put a dash there. Should there be “discrepancies” in the execution, they should be handled together with utmost maturity, sincerity and love.

Pastor Charles often says that what we have in us shows up when situation come against us therefore be careful what you allow in. To this I can say the Family sessions have enriched me greatly such that certain situations in my life meet preparation. When I hear about certain situations individuals are going through I can’t help but to count my blessings as I appreciate my store house where am rooted. Am a victor and not a victim because of these meetings by His grace.
Last year Pastor Nkechi took us through a series on sexuality in kids just before one of my son left for the Boarding School. I appreciated the lessons even more when issues about homosexuality and pornography arose in my Son’s School. What was deposited in him by the grace of God is keeping him through. God sent that those messages for us as parents, for as many that have listened to message they have the right stuff deposited in them.
These Family meetings have shaped my Family life in no measure. Thank God for the opportunity and the vessels he has used to touch lives.
DEAR ANONYMOUS, I HAD TO JUST DROP IN THIS COMMENT THOUGH I’M QUITE SHY COS ITS NEW TO ME. I MARRIED AS A VIRGIN SO KNEW NADA ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT. AFTER OUR LAST MOTHARS COLLECTION, WHERE THE TOPIC OF ORGASM WAS DISCUSSED, I BEGAN TO LOOK FORWARD TO IT BUT IT NEVER CAME UNTIL 4 DAYS AGO. HOW DID IT HAPPEN? I DECIDED TO JUST LET MYSELF GO AND FLOW WITH MY HUSBAND. AS I SOUGHT WAYS TO GIVE HIM PLEASURE WHILE WE WERE AUDIBLY COMMUNICATING…..BEFORE I KNEW IT, HEAVEN CAME DOWN! SUCH PLEASURE!!! IT MAY NOT BE THE SAME PROCESS FOR YOU BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS – RELAX AND LET GO OF ALL INHIBITIONS AND PREVIOUS EXPECTATIONS. YOU ARE CERTAINLY NEXT WITH A HUGE MIRACLE. . . . .
I’m eternally grateful being a part of this wonderful family.
I miscarried my first pregnancy because the PT result was negative while I was undergoing treatment for malaria and typhoid. I’m pregnant now and my husband just feels as if my taking one step or doing the usual routine work will make me start bleeding again. I’ve tried to encourage him that such fear is not of God and that I’m okay but he’s just adamant. His mantra is ‘you need rest’ and this makes me even feel sick rather than happy. Please, what do I do?
Dear Mrs. P, We would like to reassure you that the status of a victor was conferred upon you when you accepted Jesus as your Saviour and your Lord. You must know that as a child of God, God cares about you more than you can ever imagine. He has promised to be with you always and that includes at pregnancy. That is why you must walk by faith and not by sight (your feelings) at this time and always. It is a time you must rely on the Word of God and not necessarily on other people’s experiences, as no two pregnancies are ever the same. Don’t also try to be a “super pregnant woman” because you have nothing to prove.
You must realise that the time of pregnancy is a time where you will experience a lot of changes in your body but by no means should you let fear into your heart. You and your husband must realise that pregnancy is a reward and a gift from God and that His blessings they make rich and do not add sorrow (Proverbs 10:22). Pregnancy, being a gift from God is not sickness. However, you must strike a balance by responding in wisdom to the changes that are taking place in your body without putting undue pressure on yourself to keep doing things the way you used to do when you were not pregnant.
It is by so doing that your victory will be made manifest.
Awesome. That’s the word I would use to describe the message on ‘THE IN-LAWS PHENOMENON’. I was really blessed by the message, the questions asked and the various responses given to them. I am indeed blessed to be a part of this family. Thank you Pastors.
Something brings it up and you ask one woman about orgasm and it is as if you have mentioned the unmentionable. Some do not honestly know what you are talking about. How does one teach other women the place of orgasm in their enjoyment of sex in marriage?
Every meeting produces an answer and a solution to EVERY mother’s/wife’s challenges in executing her role.
i especially thank God for the timeliness of these meetings in my married life and for the words of wisdom and grace that flow straight from his heart to mine through them. last sunday was just awesome.
thank you pastors for creating this forum.
Hi,
What do you do about your Spouse’s insecurities that are affecting your marriage. Especially those he has admitted – do you just walk around them?, do you treat them like they are not there and do what you would anyway? How do you help him overcome them, especially if you do not see him working on them?
I would suggest that you get one on one counsel where you would be able to give more details. Until then, just pray for wisdom to be real and free in your marriage and yet not be provocative since you know your husband’s challenge. This is a delicate balance that one on one counsel will help you understand better.
These meetings have been great for me.
