HANG ON

                                           ... By Uwaoma Eizu


Please hang on. In 1976, a man, Ronald Wayne gave up on his work, he was frustrated at the way things were going, so he sold his 10% stake in a company called Apple for $800. He was excited. But now he regrets it, now his shares are worth $58,065,210,000 (58 billion dollars) but it now belongs to someone else!


Hang on, Law 16, Perseverance (Hexavian Laws of Business).


Keep going. In the words of the 80's rapper Chuk D, "don't let a win get to your head and a loss to your heart." Go. In the words of Julie Andrews, "perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th."

Sacrifice is deep. Going through stress, pain and sacrifice for what you want shows to the powers of creation, the  forces of life, an inner proof of desire. At the point of breaking comes your breakthrough.

Every sacrifice counts. Pain creates value. In the words of one of the greatest European thinkers and philosophers, Frederick Nietche, he says that "most times, the value of a thing is not in its worth, it's in what it costs us to get it." I concur.

No matter what you're going through, hang on. Fight! Perseverance is the handwork you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. In the words of the Somalian singer K'naan ft Nas, he says  "difficulty is an excuse that history never accepts." Do.

To me, a good business and a good life is like a natural spring. And like a natural spring, to drill a well or to have pipe borne water, you have to break through hard ground, move away all the rocks and after a great level of work the thirsty ground becomes damp. And just a little deeper you begin to uncover a beautiful underground stream that washes away everything in its path. This is clean water, at that point comes a good spring! Have a taste with us!

Christian Marriage ... with Pastor Enoch Adeboye

Memory Verse: "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favour of the Lord"- Proverbs 18:22.
Bible Passage: 1 Corinthians 7:1-15.

Introduction
Marriage is the oldest human institution. It predates the Church and government. Breaching marital vows is more dangerous than many realise.

OUTLINES

Why marry?
Some reasons are: to obey God (Gen. 1:28); for fellowship (Gen. 2:18); for partnership (Ecc. 4:9-11; Gen. 2:24); to legitimately satisfy certain desires (1 Cor. 7:9) and for the propagation of the human race (Gen. 9:1).

Who to marry
Christians may only marry Christians (2 Cor. 6:14-17). We have clear reasons why a believer should not marry an unbeliever: do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers; righteousness has no communion with darkness.

When to marry
Marriage is for adults because it carries heavy responsibilities requiring maturity and experience. Resolve issues and be in good health. Marriage requires strong healthy bodies. Parental approval is a precondition, especially for the bride. Ensure financial stability, especially for the man.

Courtship
This commences when the parties have declared an intention to marry. It is very important to keep yourself pure or you may discover how easily love can turn to hate (2 Sam. 13:15). Pre-marital sex is not acceptable to God. It erodes the foundation of the marriage.

What makes a happy marriage?
Sacrificial selfless love, prayer, faith and patience are some of the key ingredients. It's a lifetime "till death do us part" commitment. Marriage is not an experiment. It is permanent, (Matt. 19:6-9; Eph. 5:25; Tit. 2:4).

Conclusion
The greatest marriage ever is that between Christ and His Bride, the church. This unites heaven and earth. Are you ready for this most wonderful union? Are you saved? If not, there is no better time but now. Welcome to the family of God.
