*Is your Relationship one to be proud of/ Exemplary/Worth Pursuing…?

In wrapping #*GloryVAL #VALinGlory #GloriousRelationship on our #Glory Theme; we simply ask the above.

With all that Glory represents and  wanting to have a Glorious Relationship;  take your time, in fact have time to have a careful look at your #ship….

*Truly, is it one to be proud of?*

One that as you reflect on, you’re  filled with extreme awe and pride …In fact, you can hit your chest so hard and say  ~I am,~ in fact,  we are…. _( with almost litany of then❣️)_

*Is it Exemplary?..

Is it one that makes people want to desire to enter into one.  One that you’d say people  can  gladly look at and follow or model theirs after. If need be, you can open that lid on yours and the aromatic smell do all the talking.

*Lastly, Is it Worth Pursuing…

You’re are prepared to fight for any day, work it out any day and live for any other day because you know WHO & what’s in it and where it is going obviously.

1  Chron. 16.24-Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the people

Every Glorious Relationship(_platonic, Intimate,professional  and more_) which is Christ centered thrives  when there’s Respect and honour, when above all of them it doesn’t weigh you down SPIRITUALLY, when there is that Growth& Purpose so that all we see is that beauty & radiance for all to see.

The question once more & this time we ask:

Is your Relationship  one to be proud of, exemplary and worth pursuing???

A question only you can sincerely answer. These guides  or pointers based on his word are only signals to take the rightful decisions before the ties are finally bound.

Verses and Versions & DIGEST

Little children, we must stop expressing love merely by our words and manner of speech; we must love also in action and in truth

DIGEST

Yes, You are the the Little Children🤣( in your Father’s eyes)…

Just a brief on this, you know you get to a point where your parents call you brother/Sister although you’re  their son/daughter. Same here, at different times and seasons, God chooses to call us his children, his friend, his bride, co-heir and more.

So Back to the Love subject, For us here at OTM , we say in GOD, WORDS= ACTION

*What are all the Words you say if not backed with Actions*

Is there Beauty ,Radiance and that Fragrance in your relationship???…

 

In dealing with the intro phases of our Glory theme few weeks back, elements like Beauty, radiance, light and stars featured greatly.

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. (Heb 1:3)

Psalm 96:6: “Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

A Captivating Look
An illuminating sparkle
An irresistible smell
( These phrases caught your attention asking yourself who or what are we talking about)

Today, we won’t ask the questions or situate the discussion from the negative standpoint rather the positive.

*Imagine a relationship where the thought just the mere thought of each other is ENOUGH to make wonna do, stop, want to to fight, not give up

*Imagine a relationship where your (godly) conviction of what you see in him, the Grace and Light upon his/her life, what his/her future portends , what you have practically witnessed from your intimate talk sessions make you want to stay, work it out, go on to bring all that to fruition and forever do life together.

*Imagine where we(BOTH) desire, want to, make the effort and do all the DUE Spiritual and Physical part needed to enter with a mentality of a Forever affair, fixing it and make it work, we’re in it forever. And so we will always do the needfuls by avoiding, learning, curing, forgiving, unlearning, changing, relearning, giving it another chance.

(What do you think will happen if we all did…. And it’s not like it’s impossible. Sadly, a lot of people enter into relationships and marriages with an already defeated mindset- A lot more on my * LET’S HATE DIVORCE piece to share soon)

And so we were not there when they met and all in between. Well, until they formally outdoored it…Years on, we are still not in their secret places & what they do behind the scenes yet…..

*You see them and truly you see that glow, bliss, beauty, warmth, peace, chemistry, radiance, light, purity,admiration and above all LOVE drawn all over that union ( making you also desire to be)

Beloved, in this era of washing the dirty linen of relationship and marriage issues all over; WE ALSO SEE THE VERY BEAUTIFUL, RADIANT AND FRAGRANT ALL OVER TOO. ( They are not bad news and so they may not sell but they’re all over. #Otuosquotes)

Oh I even saw one today as I stepped out

(And I must say this is REGARDLESS of the may many troubles, challenges they will face too because they’ll definitely have their fair share but victory is assured. John 16:33)

Beloved, Every Glorious Relationship is Christ-centered and if it is then we must rinse and renew our minds from the world’s contoured views on marriage and fully embrace and live out (these ) his Word’s original and wholesome blueprint.

These concluding verses
Hebrews 13:4- “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.”

1 Peter 3:7
“Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.”

The question once more:
*Is there Beauty ,Radiance and that Fragrance in your relationship???…

Why Are you still ‘forming’ a Relationship  that is so honourable, dignifying and really really going somewhere…

It is Purposeless and you know it deep within.

 A #GloriousRelationship, IT IS  NOT!!!

Leading to our #GloryVAL topic tonite  on Is There Purpose in your Relationship? …, #CatchYou

*Is there Purpose, Growth and Transformation in your Relationships?*

The Glory of God doesn’t operate in a vacuum. It is not given just for the sake of it. It is definitely for a Purpose.

As treated few weeks ago, the Purpose of God’s Glory is to show who he is, clear any doubt whatsoever,  live  fully in his glory as man and ultimately draw Peeple to saving knowledge .(_Isaiah 43:7, 1Cor.10:31, Psalm 19:1 &more)_

I love a place called Forward….(Who doesn’t….)

Not only do People change Relationships when they belief it’s not aligning with their ultimate goal. There are job change too. Career Advancement, Better Salary Offer and the Pride and Prestige are some of the chief reasons.

There’s a Purpose to and  for every Relationship. There was what she first imagined when she saw you. There’s a Reason why she chose you and not the other suitable candidates. There’s a future he imagined as Life with you when he mustered that courage to approach you.

There was something new, different and refreshing when he accepted to  be with you. There are things she’s hoping never recur based on past experiences.

*And so why are you losing yourself, totally bottled up and have been cowered into just living and being… all because of a certain desired Relationship

*Why can’t we recognise you anymore even physically not to talk about deep within.  (sadly when it  hasn’t fully metamorphosed into marriage)

*Wny can’t she pursue her dreams anymore?….. Why is your attitude and the weight of it  inhibiting him from being the man he’s  supposed to be?….Why does she  have to live in your shadows..surrender her desires  and longings  just because you Lord your lordship over almost everything. (Set in your old primitive  ways/ beliefs.

*Lastly, why  are you now stuck, uninspiring, no passion, only existing and virtually useless in your new found ‘Glorious ‘Relationship which is contributing nothing  to this.

Beloved, Evey Glorious Relationship (platonic,intimate ,professional….) with Christ at the center seeks to  build, raise, sharpen & support each other  toward attaining a common goal of  being beneficial  not only to themselves but beyond.

_Your glory isn’t just honor or blessings. It points to a purpose that reaches beyond you._

Today, so many Couples are bracing the odds. This today’s world is so fast paced  and highly demanding. The children are no longer an obstacle, their jobs no restraints at all, the stereotyped society brushed off, even age is put aside all because they’ve  liberated their minds from certain primitive mindset that only limited their capacity.

It is  extremely daunting but so  so possible. Examples abound- Married yet pursuing  courses & degrees while 

 being that submissive  wife, turning their childhood passion into a ful time job while not neglecting  their home, making  their hobbies into side hustle  to  financially support the home as needed; practically making a name and impact out there with their talent, skill  while being a loving husband and submissive wife. 

Above all, finding contentment and fulfillment in themselves for LIVING  and making an impacting  to humanity and to the kingdom of God.( MANY MANY are  just suffocating in Relationships because they’re not allowed to BE)

These biblical cues to all those Relationships in this context

_Romans 12:2-“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”_

‭‭

_Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire Matt 7.19_ (*Every Relationship that does not have  a future, aim or purpose…..*)

How Good and pleasant it is that partners/ couples always seek to explore a  place called FORWARD where TOGETHER AS ONE, they can  grow, mature and be more impactful at all times. (Psalm 133)

 On Verses & Versions…1Corinthians 13:2❣️

WORD® Translation

I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don't have love, I am nothing.

Good News Translation

I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains--but if I have no love, I am nothing.

*That ‘Relationship’ is seriously draining you on all fronts.*

You continue to block those questions that continually  pop up saying…

‘Why Am I the only one who feel Squeezed, Used and Dried up in this Relationship that we continue to sing  to the World as ‘Glorious’
