Apostle Suleman To Singles: Investigate Before Going Into Relationship To Avoid ‘It Is Well’
Apostle Suleman To Singles:
Investigate Before Going Into Relationship To Avoid ‘It Is Well’
For a single lady seeking a relationship, the key is to investigate before fully committing to it. This involves understanding oneself, the other person, and the potential dynamics of the relationship to ensure a healthy and compatible match, counsels servant of God and General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
The revered Christian leader says it is crucial to assess the compatibility before making a serious commitment.
“Be careful of uninvestigated relationships,” Suleman warns. “Be careful of red flags. Somebody says I like you and both of you just started dating. Before you know it, it develops; you rush in and rush out. Investigate. There are some questions you need to ask.”
Apostle Suleman counsels that singles seeking life partnership must focus on self-love, personal growth, and building strong foundations in advance. This, he suggests, includes understanding self needs, values, and desires. “Embrace your individuality, spend time getting to know yourself, and exploring your passions. Anybody you try to impress you lose. Be yourself. Be yourself and be happy. A man has been married, he has got kids and the woman passed away and he wishes to remarry. Under the Scripture, you are very free to marry him if you like him. He’s a widower. But investigate what killed his wife, not what he told you about her fate. Go behind him and investigate.”
Referencing the relationships of olden days, Apostle Suleman posits that marriages in the past often lasted longer due to factors like strong family values and a greater emphasis on commitment. Divorce was less common, he says, because potential couples sought to know each other’s families’ stories before committing themselves.
“Are you aware that our parents’ marriages lasted longer? Do you know why the marriages lasted? It is because in those days, once you brought a lady home to your parents, they would go and investigate her family. But many of you are in a relationship, planning for marriage but you do not know the parents. All you do is just say this is my mother, this is my father. Whether they rented them you’re not aware. And you take it like that. You don’t understand how many of them are married, how many of them still have their marriages standing. You don’t investigate what rules in the family, what reigns in the family, what is common in the family. You have to investigate.”
Speaking from the Scripture, Judges 14; from Verse 5, the cleric says when Samson was ready to get married, his parents went to the family of the spouse. Also, in Genesis 24; 13, 14, 15; he says “when Abraham’s servant met Rebecca, he asked her ‘whose daughter are you?’ They said bring him home. And when he got to their house, she began to ask questions from everyone; she said ‘this person who is he? Please tell me about their family’. So investigate because once you’ve entered, it is for life. When there’s a crisis in your marriage they will never tell you to leave, they will only tell you to pray. Whether he breaks your leg, pray. He’s not giving you food, pray. He has another lady that he’s going out with, pray. He’s not taking care of the children, pray. To avoid ‘pray’, this is the time to make a decision.”
Concluding, Apostle Suleman stated that, “as a man, to avoid the complications of your woman, investigate in order to avoid ‘hmm it is well’. “There are two types of ‘it is well’. There’s ‘it is well’ and there’s ‘hmm it is well’. Citing an encounter, the seasoned preacher spoke of a young man who approached him and said that his wife told him that ‘it is well’ and he didn’t understand and he was scared. The man of God said he asked the man which of the ‘it is well’ did the wife say to him and he said it was ‘hmm it is well’. “I told him instantly that there was a problem! So, if it is just ‘it is well’, there’s no problem. But if it’s ‘hmm it is well’, just start begging, don’t say any other thing.
NAWOJ: SEKINAT, CHARITY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.
This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.
The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.
According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.
Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.
According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.
She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.
While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.
She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
