INTIMACY IN MARRIAGE PREVENTS CONFLICTS

P-R-E-A-C-H:Avoid Conflict, Enhance IntimacyThis article is dedicated to Rev Mrs 'Kemi Babarinde, an intimate partner of 21yrs

1.     PERSONALITY MANAGEMENT
Be positive about your personality and your life. Know your personality type, your limitations and build on your strength. Accept yourself, the place where you are and the people around you. 

2.    REASONABLE REASONS
Never discuss with your spouse without justifiable reasons that are not sentimental. Majority of Nigerian husbands are with their brains soaked with pride and a measure of strong-head. With your reasons and facts be reasonable.

 3. EMOTIONAL STABILITY
Anger is a response that reacts to reality- people or issues. What you say, how it is said, on what occasion, in whose presence, intonation, enunciation and choice of word will always reflect our emotional stability. This is the starting point of crisis. Manage our emotions when you are hurt, injured, humiliated, abandoned, rejected, unprotected and insulted. 

 4.  AVAILABILITY THAT AVOIDS CRISIS
There is no place of avoidance of people in marriage like that of an office environment, Be available to manage issues but avoid crisis and discussions and actions that can promote crises.  

  5.  COMMITMENT TO FAMILY VALUES
Be at peace inwardly and be integrity based, match word with actions. When you are consistent, you will win your family with God-given wisdom. Virtues of honesty, love, forbearance and other fruit of the Spirit will help in managing crises. 

-          This is an extract of a section of presentation made at Shepherdhill Baptist Church on "Conflict Management in Marriage" and "Enhancing Intimacy in Marriage" to Pastors' Wives of Unity Baptist Association respectively

21st WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

It's been 21years since we were at the altar of St James Cathedral Ibadan.  It's been  God's Faithfulness and our Fruitfulness in the midst of our human weaknesses. Help me celebrate the engine of the Ship which I accepted to be the captain. See her behind me as Spiritual anchor for Strength.
'Kemi, to you, I am ever  grateful.

To all who have blessed us. Satellite Town Baptist Church and our parents; David & Comfort Bababrinde and Samuel & Rachel Malomo

SEND FORTH OF DR NIHINLOLA

Greatness does not begin in a day. Every human being have potentials.  Every believer in Christ have spiritual endowment.  Every minister whose calling is sure in Christ Jesus has the seed of greatness inherent in him. This passes through metamorphosis of sanctification.  Dr Nihinlola fit into such ministerial identity. He had gone through many areas of Baptist life- RA, Youth, BSF, Baptist Building,  Church Pastorate, Administration,  Lecturing , College of Theology and finally,  now in the Seminary.
     Historically, my Uncle Mr J. Bolaji Oladipo married his Anty Mary Oladipo. I recall Dr Nihinlola came with Dns McQueen to Inaugurate BSF at FBC ,Oko via Ogbomoso in 1986 where I was a BSF leader. Ministerial wise,  I met him in 1987 in his last year in the seminary as President,BSF Leaders Forum. I served with him in Ad Committee that organized Western Zone Conference at Ede in April 1988. We both came for M.Th in 1994-1996 and studied under Professor Yusuf Ameh Obaje. Coming to Lagos,  I served in the Board with him briefly and remain a Signatory to BCT Lagos Bank Accounts for his last three years. All these would have influenced my thought about him.

1. Conference Services
It is on record that you work harmoniously with Dr Oke and his successors. You head the team that studied multiplication.  It came to past. You head the Historical Committee and History of Lagos Baptist was published.  There is no Conference's Annual Workers Seminar that you have not been privilege to present a paper. There's no Annual session that you have not presented report.  You did your best.

2. Commitment to Sound Theological Education
The blueprint you wrote for Baptist College of Theology Lagos is there to confirm your convictions. The Annual Practical Theology Seminar has boosted the image of the College locally and internationally. You can look back or look at the shelf and thank God for the editions of Practical Theology that have been published.

3. Confonting Challenges of life with faith
Your faith has sustained you through trials. In offering yourself for service at various times where you were taken and where you were not; none is not devoid of spiritual and verbal attacks provoking you into trauma.You have always come out strong. Such faith has been evident as lesson for all. It is an immenient and eschatological. Such faith was demonstrated when you preached the burial sermon of Goke Adeleke and Tayo Orodiji. You have always preached faith.

READING THE BIBLE

5 Methods of Bible Study

Apr 7th, 2010
Adam Faughn↓

Skip to commentsI hear often, "I know I need to study the Bible, but I just don't know how to get started." That is a very logical complaint. Let's be honest: the Bible is a fairly large book with a lot of material in it! We often hear those who have studied the Bible their entire lives say, "I still study because there's something left to master." That is great, but for one trying to start studying, it can be a bit discouraging.The major step is starting, but how? There are many different ways to study the Bible. I want to share 5 with you that require little, if any, materials other than a Bible and something to take notes with. Choose one and start there.1. With a telescope. Study the Bible from an overview perspective. What is the overall message of God's Word? What are its major themes? How does it all piece together? The class I teach on Sunday mornings is beginning a series on the chronology of the Bible. It may not be an in-depth study, but it should help us all get a good overview of the message of God's Book. A lot of good background materials on the Bible can be found online for free. Ask the same questions of the Bible that you would for any other book (theme, author, purpose, etc.) and makes notes.

2. Book by book. Once you have a decent knowledge of the overall message of God's Word, select a book you want to know more about. (May I suggest, for your first one, that you select an easier or more familiar book? Don't start out with Romans, Ezekiel, or Revelation!) Check your church library or online for a good commentary to help you, but make your own notes! Read and reread and re-reread the text. Ask what you want to know more about, then study that passage in greater depth. You'll probably be amazed how many notes you take and what a great resource they become when you return to study that book later! (One further suggestion. If you are just starting out, select a shorter book like First Timothy. You'll be more likely to finish and that will motivate you to move on to another book.

)3. By topic. Why do we baptize for remission of sins? Why do we worship on Sunday? What was involved in the Passover? These are questions that can be studied topically. Select a topic or issue you want to know more about and start finding every passage that speaks to that topic. Some online tools can help, as can a work such as Nave's Topical Bible. Start a notebook and write what you want most to learn and to gain from this study. Then dig deeply!

4. By personality. When you read Ruth are you moved by Naomi? Do you want to be more like Daniel? Does one of the apostles touch your life in a special way? Then study that life! Use an online concordance and print out a list of every time that person's name appears in Scripture (just be sure that, if you are studying Joseph, for example, you know which Joseph!). Then read and study those passages. What did that person do well? What was the motivation in that person's life? Where did they fail? Whom did they influence? (By the way, study the lives of some who weren't so "positive," too, and it will add depth to your Bible knowledge.)

5. By word study. Honestly, this may be the most difficult, but it is often the most rewarding. What makes studying words difficult is that it takes a lot of digging to get at the original meaning. What does "atonement" mean? What does the Bible mean when it speaks of "mercy"? What is "sanctification?" How does the Bible define "love"? Find all you can find about these words and you'll have a richer experience the next time you see them in Scripture- See more at: http://www.faughnfamily.com/5-methods-of-bible-study/#sthash.3p4yC9CD.dpuf

OluFamous.Com: This Lady Got Pregnant at 18; Today at 25 She Is Overall Best Graduating Student

This Lady Got Pregnant at 18; Today at 25 She Is Overall Best Graduating Student

Seven years after an unwanted pregnancy forced her to drop out of the University of Ilorin, Aishat Farooq has emerged the best graduating student of the Bells University of Technology in Ota, Ogun State. When Aishat Farooq gained admission into the University of Ilorin at 15, to study Zoology, little did she know that her secret romance with a boy will abort her lofty dreams through pregnancy...Despite the fact that she was a high flyer in her first two years in UNILORIN, the now 25-year-old indigene of Ilorin, Kwara State, got distracted along the line. She played the campus love game and got a shocking result: she got pregnant. It was in 2006 and in her third year. She was pregnant for a fellow student whom she had been dating. She was disappointed in herself and thought the whole world was crashing on her. Yet, she vowed not to terminate the pregnancy.Although she wanted to continue her studies in the university, she became disillusioned and dropped out at 18. She sought consolation in trading. But her father, Shehu Farooq, who believed that his daughter's academic prowess should not be wasted, was determined to get her back on the academic track.Today, Aishat has a different story. On Saturday, she stood tall among her peers at the 5th convocation ceremony of Bells University, Ota, Ogun State, where she emerged the overall best graduating student with a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.93."The rebel in me won," Aishat declared while giving the valedictory address on behalf of the 208 graduating students of the university."I hope my story will inspire at least one person to change his or her circumstance. I was pregnant at 18 and by 19 I was already a mother. I had disappointed my father who believed so much in me. He had such big dreams for me and feared the dreams would become unfulfilled," she added.Breaking the news of the pregnancy to her father, who was at the time based in the northern part of the country, was not easy. Aishat's mother, Fatima, who stayed in Lagos with the family, did not break the "sad news" to the man until the lady was almost due. The mum then feared her husband would be too angry.Aishat studied Business Administration with specialisation in Human Resources Management, and received the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for the Overall Best Graduating Student with a cash reward of N50,000 and a plaque. She also won the College of Management Sciences Prize and Department of Business Administration Prize for the Best Graduating Student.Speaking with Punch's Temitayo Famutimi after she received the awards, Aishat, whose face beamed with smiles, expressed gratitude to her dad for not losing hope in her during her trying time.She noted, "I did exceptionally well and bagged awards in the schools I attended. I had the overall best result at the Senior Secondary School Certificate level at Model Secondary School, Maitama, Abuja. In fact in UNILORIN, I was on the first class grade in my first year but in 200 Level, I dropped to second class upper division because I had already started getting distracted by the boys."It just happened that things turned out the way it did. But here I am, a product of God's unending mercies, unconditional love and grace – all coupled with the faith my dad had in me and my fierce determination."I'm a goalgetter. I push myself hard. Even here in spite of being a mother, I was pushing for the best despite the challenges. I wanted to make my dad proud again. Once you are determined, nothing is impossible. Nothing can stop you."

U.K Visa Victory at Last

BRITAIN STOP £3, 000 Run away Guarantee

he government is to abandon a controversial plan to impose £3,000 immigration bonds on visitors from "high-risk" countries in Africa and Asia after Nick Clegg threatened to block the policy.The move will be seen by Labour as a humiliating U-turn for Theresa May, the home secretary. It came after David Cameron backed off from a full-scale confrontation with the Liberal Democrat leader, who was blocking the scheme's progress through cabinet.
     
A pilot project to target visitors from seven countries - including India, Pakistan and Nigeria - who would have had to pay a cash guarantee or deposit to deter immigration abuse was to have been introduced this month.

The plan was to make visitors forfeit £3,000 if they failed to return home by the time their visas had expired. But in an announcement this weekend the government said it was canceling the plans
