DATING AND RELATIONSHIPS
By: Bro Fola
Odufuwa
A. Pattern of Relationships
1. You and God – this is
where you take your bearing. Everything else falls into place only when you
have a sound relationship with your maker. That relationship is initiated and
sustained by two things, FAITH - Jas 2:23 “And
the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was
imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God”,
and OBEDIENCE - Joh 15:14 “Ye are my
friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.”
2. You and your husband or
wife – Song 5:16 “His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.” Pr 18:22
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.”
Marriage is the highest of human
relationships. The quality of your life is dependent on the quality of the
partner you marry. Marriage can make or mar your destiny. No man can be greater
than the quality of his wife. If you are excited with a married brother, all
the virtues that you are excited about are being supplied by his wife. The
corollary is true. A bad brother is effectively a reflection of the kind of
woman he has at home. If you are not married, don’t act married with anyone.
You’re making yourself cheap and the wounds of such a union can run for a
lifetime.
3. You and your family
(nuclear then extended) – a good family life is a condition for leadership in
the New Testament church.
4. Friends – friendship is
an art to be learnt. Pr 18:24 “A man that hath friends must SHEW HIMSELF
friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” It is not
right to say you do not have any friend. No man is an island. If you don’t have
friends, good friends, something is wrong with you.
a. Close friends (including fiancé) – they are in different varieties. Some
are fair-weather friends - Pr 19:4 “Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is
separated from his neighbour.” Pr 19:6 “Many will intreat the favour of the
prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.” The rich tend to
be lonely as they often find it difficult to determine between those who are
after their money and those who desire genuine friendship.
b. Casual friends – some friends will be unbelievers but you should not be
unequally yoked with them.
5. Acquaintances
(including unbelievers)
B. Pillars of Relationships
Commitment
Pr 27:10 “Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, FORSAKE NOT; neither go
into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour
that is near than a brother far off.”
Care
1Co 12:25 “That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the SAME CARE one for another.”
1Co 12:25 “That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the SAME CARE one for another.”
Communication
Pr 27:14 “He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.” Listening is More Important than Speaking. Listening is an art. It requires attention and patience. There are three important attributes of effective listening:
Pr 27:14 “He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.” Listening is More Important than Speaking. Listening is an art. It requires attention and patience. There are three important attributes of effective listening:
·
Be slow to speak: “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow
to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1: 19). What does this mean?
·
Be eager to
learn: “The heart of the
righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil
things” (Proverbs 15:28). In order to understand what is being said, ask
questions like, “Can you please explain what you mean?”, “How did you arrive at
that conclusion?” etc. Determine to understand first before you start to
interject.
o
The heart of the
upright gives thought to his answer; but from the mouth of the evil-doer comes
a stream of evil things – BBE (Bible in Basic English) Pr. 15:28
o
Good people
think before they answer, but the wicked speak evil without ever thinking – CEV
(Contemporary English Version)
·
Be patient to
hear all the details: “He that
answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him”
(Proverbs 18:13).Do not rush to judgement. Do not personalize issues.
C. Principles of Relationships
1. Love - Pr 17:17 “A friend loveth
at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Joh 15:13 “Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life (empty himself) for his
friends.” There are two types of love
c. Human love or lust – based on feelings, preferences, moods,
likes/dislikes, and what the other person does or does not do. Human love
always looks for what it can get.
d. Divine love – based on obedience to the bible, actions and reactions that
reflect the nature of God and that glorify Christ. It does not depend on what
the other party does or does not do. Divine love always looks for what it can
give.
New Testament
was written in Greek and that culture categorised love into four types, three
of which are in the bible.
a. Family love (Storge) – demonstrated between family members
b. Brotherly love (Philia) – demonstrated among true friends
c. Sexual love (Eros) – reserved only for marriage, the most intimate of
human relationships
d. Unconditional love (Agape) – practised to all
Let’s close our discussion by
taking an example of friendship from Mark 2:2-12.
This unnamed paralyzed man
strikes us as one who had some positive traits, chief of which is the fact that
he had four good friends. Friends who could show him the way to Jesus. Friends
who did not abandon him in his hour of need. Friends who did not run away from
his weak and feeble frame. This man had good friends. Friends who could grab
and bundle him forcefully into the presence of Jesus. Friends who would not
take heaven’s NO for an answer in order to save a friend.
Look at what they did for him.
Look at the obstacles they faced when they took their friend to meet the Lord.
You could see that there was “no room to receive them, no, not so much as about
the door” (v. 2). Yet they did not turn back. There was no space for them to
stand yet they did not walk away. There was no breathing space for them yet
they were not moved.
Secondly, “they could not come
nigh unto him (Jesus) for the press” (v.4).
The crowd hindered and blocked them
from approaching the Lord yet they were not deterred. The crowd of advisers,
the crowd of onlookers, the crowd of praise-singers prevented them from access
to the Master, yet they did not turn back. They moved forward and “uncovered
the roof where he (Jesus) was”(v.4). They even had physical obstacles to deal
with while the crucial message was going on, as “he (Jesus) preached the word
unto them” (v.2).
They were physical barriers that had to be surmounted before
they could obtain anything from the Lord.
These friends had faith that
“Jesus saw”(v.5). They had visible faith, unshakeable confidence in the Lord’s
ability to bail their friend out of the debilitating condition he had found
himself. Finally, these were friends who did not work for SELF. They never thought
of what was in it for them.
They had no thought of what they
could materially or financially benefit from helping a friend. There was
nothing for self to gain. There were no motivations inspired by what self could
appropriate to itself. There was transparent selflessness, true Christian love
at work.
What great friends this man had!
Friends that would go to any length, sacrificing time, sacrificing money,
spending (or doing away with) self, all to get their friend an encounter with
the Lord. Friends that would dig holes into roofs in order to grant their
friend access to the throne of divine grace.
Brother, do you have good
friends? Do you have friends who carry you to Jesus? Do you have friends who
would not allow you to be crowded out by strangers to the life of God? Or are
your friends promoters of iniquity? Are they harbingers of sin and conveyors of
immorality and malice? Are they sponsors of corruption? What kind of company do
you keep? What kind of friends do you have?
Are they fair-weather friends? Or
you don’t even have any friend at all? What kind of companions do you have? Who
are your best friends? Who do you confide in? Are they people who can bring you
into the presence of the Lord, whether you like it or not? Maybe I should even
ask, what kind of friend are you? Are you following the bible in relating to
people around you or do you just do things anyhow not minding who gets hurt?
If a man would recover from
paralysis, he needs friends divinely introduced by God to carry him into the
presence of Jesus.
You do not need a friend who is not cumulatively adding to
your experience of Jesus. Do not keep bad friends. Do not join yourself with
swine. “Don't be fooled, ``Bad friends will spoil good habits.''” (1
Corinthians 15:33. Simple English).

Overcoming Suffering
Today I want
to share briefly with you on an uncommon topic. I know this is not the kind of
discussion many like but we cannot but talk about this. And there are lots of
thought about this particular word ‘suffering’. Many believed that a child of
God cannot suffer. Ps.37:25.
Some
believes that the only one reason a man will suffer is if he is living in sin
or does not know Jesus. 1Pet.4:15. While other school of thoughts believes that
if you are Christian you must definitely suffer in this life. 1Pet.4;12-19.
But now thus saith
the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he
that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called
thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest
through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not
overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isa.43
All the
school of thoughts may be right. However, I belief there are always two sides
to a coin. We must look at issues from different perspectives.
What is suffering?
The state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship. It is to experience or subject to something bad or unpleasant. Pain that is caused by injury, illness, loss etc…, physical, mental or emotional pain.
The state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship. It is to experience or subject to something bad or unpleasant. Pain that is caused by injury, illness, loss etc…, physical, mental or emotional pain.
In our text,
Paul, the Apostle, a man who had experienced suffering in diverse ways was the
one speaking to the church here. And from that passage there about seven things
he said about suffering that may be of help to us as we run through the year.
1.
There is suffering
It is possible for a child of God to suffer. The bible then warned that we should not suffer as an evil doer. Isa.43:1-2. Prominent among the things that make a child of God to suffer are sin, ignorance, carelessness, self indulgence and Satan. God does not want His children to suffer. 1pet.4:15

2.
Suffering is not permanent
Suffering is for this present time. It is not going to last forever. It has time. However, your response to suffering will determine the duration of the sufferings. 2Cor.4:17-18. Ecc.3:1-3. Do not allow time to linger on unnecessary.

3. Suffering
is a teacher
There is always at least one lesson to learn during the time of suffering. It teaches us that there is a glory ahead, that there is a better life, way, approach. Suffering teaches us that we have not arrived. There is still room for us if we can press on. Suffering brings out in us endurance, character, hope, knowledge of God’s word, empathy, obedience, maturity and proven faith.

4. Suffering
reveals a man
You will know a child of God when in suffering. And oftentimes suffering want to embarrass you, put you to shame. Suffering always reveals us as a weakling, sinner or an inferior being. It showcases our incapacitation. But it could also reveal our strength and ability to hold on.
You will know a child of God when in suffering. And oftentimes suffering want to embarrass you, put you to shame. Suffering always reveals us as a weakling, sinner or an inferior being. It showcases our incapacitation. But it could also reveal our strength and ability to hold on.
5. Suffering
is inferior to glory
It cannot be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us. Suffering and glory are not in the same class. Let your goal and focus be on the glory. Heb.12;2. I love the way he put it in 2Cor.6:3-11, Phi.3;14. There is a glory, there is something important to me no matter the suffering or pain that comes my way. Stop falling cheaply to satanic wiles.

6. Suffering
prevents the manifestation of the sons of God
It will not allow you to manifest the glory of God.
It will not allow you to manifest the glory of God.
The ultimate
goal why Satan sponsors suffering into our lives is to prevent us from
manifesting as sons of God. It is to cut us short from the original plan of God
for our lives. Whereas the plan of God is to showcase Himself in us. God does
not want anyone to suffer. 1Cor.10;13.
The bible is
full of examples of men who suffer and I want to encourage you to take the time
to study the life of men like Job, David, Jeremiah, Peter to mention few.
How should we respond
to suffering?
1. You must
come out of sin if there is any. Jam.5:14-16
2. Never
accept suffering as way of life. God does not suffer anyone. Satan is the thief
who comes by the night to steal from you. Jn.10;10. If anything is lacking in
your life it was taken away by the thief, Satan. Do not build doctrine around
your sufferings. What Jesus dispenses is life and he does it more abundantly.
With Jesus is no suffering but life in abundance.
3. Respond
to God and His word by faith. This is important for faith is life. Let your
faith in God be balance. Accept the supremacy of the word of God for your life.
Bring the word of God into your daily experiences. Do not be afraid to practice
what you have been thought.
4. Always
commit your ways unto God. Pro.3;6; Ps.37:5. Without Him you are nothing. Do
not take a step without hearing from Him.
5. Speak the
word. Use the word to define the kind of life that you want. Eschew negative
words and pronouncements out of your mouth. You can only give birth to what you
confess. A dream that is not confessed cannot be possessed. Confess what you
want to see by faith. God called the things that be not as if they were. Learn
the correct use of your mouth for it holds the key to your desired life.
Conclusion
The Psalmist summarized the things to do in chapter 37 of his bestseller from verses one to eight. You should press on under whatever circumstances. You must be hopeful at all times. Do not conclude about a day when it has not actually ended. Stand against any form of defeat and do not accept it as a way of life. Abraham did not accept defeat concerning Sarah his wife. The same applies to Isaac over Rebekah.

Speaking the
word is a must if you want a victorious life over sufferings. Be reminded that
everything you can see today came into existence by the spoken word.
Your victory over suffering is sure!

How Sperm of Smoker Damages The DNA of Their Offspring
There are
always consequences for every action or inaction. Smoking Cigarettes and other
substances also come with varying degrees of consequences that very often are
injurious not just to the perpetrators of the act but also to their offspring.
This article
is to show how the sperm DNA damage of male smokers impact negatively on their
offspring.
The sperm of
men who smokes has greater extent of DNA damage than that of non-smokers, says
a new study that points out the harmful effects of smoking on male fertility.
Male
infertility accounts for about 30-50 percent of all infertility cases, and
infertile men tend to have high levels of damage to the sperm DNA.
"Our
results point in the direction of important semen alterations. Semen of smokers
presents an inflammatory nature, associated with decreased capacity of sperm to
achieve fertilisation and generate a healthy pregnancy," Pimenta Bartilla
noted.
In the study,
20 non-smoking men and 20 men who smoke were studied. 422 proteins in the participants
’' sperm were also assessed. The analysis revealed that 1 protein was absent,
27 proteins were underrepresented, and 6 proteins were over-represented in
smokers.
Analysis of these
proteins suggests that cigarette smoking may promote an inflammatory response in
the male reproductive tract.
The study
which was published in the journal BJU International revealed according to
Pimenta Bertola that that, sperm DNA fragmentation was increased.
Other
studies have proposed this to be a potentially promutagenic effect which is to
say that sperm with altered DNA may lead to health problems in the
offspring."
More
research needs to be done in this area. And the scope should be widening to
accommodate appreciable number of participants.

How Age and Alcohol intake of Husbands Affect Their Kids
The desire
of most couple is to see signs of pregnancy few weeks after their solemnization.
The 9 months of pregnancy are a wonderful for most parents. Planning for the
little one to come, setting the crib, buying all the essentials and the list go
on and on.
However,
tragedy do struck when the baby comes and something is not quite all right, it
can be quite the heartbreaking ordeal for a couple. When a birth defect is in
question, new parents go through series of emotions, including insurmountable
guilt.
And now
research has linked a number of birth defects to the parents, especially the
father's age and lifestyle habits.
A Research
carried out at Georgetown University Medical Center, US, suggests that it is
not just the mother that affects the health of the offspring, but also the
father.
“We know the
nutritional, hormonal and psychological environment provided by the mother
permanently alters organ structure, cellular response and gene expression in
her offspring," says Joanna Kitlinska, associate professor at the
university.
"But
our study shows the same thing to be true with fathers...his lifestyle, and how
old he is, can be reflected in molecules that control gene function," she
says."In this way, a father can affect not only his immediate offspring
but future generations as well.
Joanna and
her team reviewed past research works that focused on how a man's lifestyle
could cause epigenetic changes in his sperm's DNA that could eventually affect
his kid's genome.
The findings
showed that if the father is alcoholic, newborn can be diagnosed with foetal
alcohol spectrum disorder (FASO), even though the mother has never consumed
alcohol.
Alcohol use
in fathers was also linked to decreased birth weight, marked reduction in
overall brain size and impaired cognitive function.
In addition,
the advanced age of a father can elevate the rates of schizophrenia, autism in
his children, the researchers said.
Also the
diet pattern of a man during his pre-adolescence can reduce or increase the
risk of cardiovascular death in his children and grand children.
Paternal
obesity has been linked to enlarged fat cells, changes in metabolic regulation,
diabetes, obesity and development of brain cancer. Further psychosocial stress
on the father can cause defective behavioral traits in his kids.
“The new
field of inherited paternal epigenetic needs to be organized into clinically
applicable recommendations and lifestyle alternations,” Kitlinska said adding, “
to really understand the epigenetic influence of a child we need to study the
interplay between maternal and paternal effects, as opposed to considering each
in isolation.
Further research
need to be done in this area as the scope of the research could be widening to accommodate
more participants.
