WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!

Imagine this scenario..

When we get to Heaven, and the saints are called to recount their experiences and tell the hosts of Heaven HOW they got there and things they did for God...

Moses steps forward, He talks about how He endured God's school of ministry in the wilderness, how He confronted Pharaoh, divided the red sea, led the children of Israel out of slavery..

Joshua steps forward and talks about conquering lands in the name of God...

David comes and wow the crowd with His desperate quest and love for God...

Abraham talks about His rugged Faith and been the friend of God...

Elijah comes and recounts how He terrorised the kingdom of darkness while He led the people of Israel back to the worship of God...

Daniel speaks about His devotion to God and shutting the mouths of giants...

The 12 apostles talks about how they sold their lives for the gospel and gave birth to the church movement...

Apostle Paul begins to talk about how he counted his live worthless for the gospel, how aprons where taken from his body and miracles were wrought, how he wrote so many of the epistles we read today...

When You are called, what will be your story?
What ON EARTH are you DOING for HEAVEN's sake?

Entry 5 #Dearfuturewife by Jesudunsin Jesugbamila



#DearFutureWife
Dear future wife, I know you are patiently waiting as I learn to be patient in dealing with life issues.
Dear future wife all I want is to be a worthy partner worthy of your time and resources, so don't be in a hurry as I become someone you would be worthy of.
Dear future wife I really do want just Two kids, so hope that is alright by you
Dear future wife I respect you enough to support your decisions, I hope you know what you want enough so I don't change it to what I want.
Dear future wife, I really think beauty is beyond looks, so you'd better spend time to "make up" your inner skills and character than you spend in front of any mirror
Dear future wife I believe our goals and vision will be similar, so start working on yours. Cause I know mine.
Dear future wife if I say "I Love You" trust me I mean it, you don't need to go through my chats and emails to confirm it

Entry 4 #Dearfuturehusband by Ehi Oduh





#Dearfuturehusband
Dear Future Husband, I’ve been waiting…
Thanks for taking your own sweet time
It has made me all the better prepared for you
I’ve learned to be my own woman in that time
Not waiting to find my identity in a man
But finding ways I can add to a man
Waiting for you makes me believe everything good comes, eventually!

Dear Future Husband, I’m a go-getter…
You’ll do well not to forget that and expect me to sit at home
And wait on you, hand and foot
I’ll have a life outside of home
You’ll be required to appreciate that and not bitch about it
But pull your weight in raising our kids and in the house chores, too
You should be secure enough in your masculinity to allow me pursue my dreams
And be the wind beneath my wings, not the spit in my face!

Dear Future Husband, I’m your lover…
You are beholden to me
Our vows will you honour with your life’s breath
You’ll probably be smothered by all the love and devotion I’ll lavish in return
It’s coming from a reserve that’s been untapped for years
So expect a burst dam when I turn it on
But like my maker before me, I’m the Janus-faced paradox of love and jealousy
Should my love be taken for granted
I turn arch-nemesis – extremes, that’s my thing!
                                                                                    Yours till the end.

Entry 3 #Dearfuturehusband by Tobi Olasubulumi

 
 
#DearfutureHusband,
 
I look forward to the day I will meet you and I hope we meet in good health and in perfect state of mind.
 
If you would develop the habits of determination and hard work, notwithstanding the circumstances you that shape you.
I know you cannot be perfect, So
If you would show me your faults without inhibitions
If you would let me help you through your stress, your fears and your tears
If you would let me take care of you unhindered
If you would let me carry a part of the heavy burden nestling upon your shoulders
And if in all your selflessness, you remember to consider yourself
 
If you would show me that other side of you others do not have the privilege to encounter
If you would be transparent and open, shutting up your manly ego, involving me in all your affairs
If you would let us work together, and be a team, rather than a boss and servant
If you would allow me to contribute, to support and encourage you on our way to the top
If you would make a name for us and not just yourself
And if in your time of success, you do not wipe me off your mind
 
If you would learn to be patient with me despite my shortcomings
If you would correct me in love
If you would be there to show me the right path when I am wrong
If you would patiently lead and guide teaching me in areas where I am ignorant
If you would crave, just as much as I will to right the wrongs we will commit against each other
 
If you would be loving and caring and leave me without any shadow of doubt about it
If you would take time to listen and pay attention to me
If you would not discard my crestfallen demeanor as others would
If my worried state moves you to act
If you stand up for me in all situations and against all and sundry
 
If you remain a rock through my hardships
If you accompany me to all the doctor’s appointments
If you are there with me when their first ultrasounds are taken
If you are there to share the joy as we listen to their first heartbeats and determine their sexes
If you hold my hands as the rewards of our labour are brought into this world
And if you are there to gaze into their eyes as welcome additions
If their midnight calls are not a burden, but a happy song in your ears
If their nappies are not repulsive but an attraction
If their ramblings are beautiful sounds to you
If the sound of their gurgling envelopes you
If their belching puts a smile on your face
And if their snores are your lullaby
 
If you encourage and support them
If you help train and bring them up in the way of the lord
If you do not spare the rod against them, lifting it at necessary times
If you would shield them from the horrors of this world
And expose them to the realities of life
If you would give them the quality time that they deserve
And teach them morals and whatnots
If you gently push them even when they disappoint you
If you would love them all, leaving none to feel left out
 
And most importantly,
If you wake to commit them and myself into Gods hands
And pray earnestly for us as I do as often as possible
 
If and if only
 
Yours Forever
To love and Cherish
Your Future Wife

Entry 2 #Dearfuturehusband by Jennifer Iriri


#DearFutureHusband,
I hope you have a cute face and a hot body.
Just kidding.
 A hot body at least? Ok I'm not serious.
 I'll probably think your face is cute anyways.
 I hope you think mine is  too.

Well, I don't want you to be perfect,
I just want you to be mine.
I hope you give nice hugs and cook too cos
I'd love a treat of  breakfast in bed every now and then
and i hope you sing me with me in the car.
It doesn't matter if you have a terrible voice,
I'm sure mine is worse.

We will raise two beautiful kids together and travel all over the world.
 We will live happily together in a very big apartment.
It's also ok if we don't have all that.
I'd be very ok if I just have you.

Entry 1 #Dearfuturewife by Minister Effizey





#Dearfuturewife...
I just decided to write you this beautiful morning, i know you’re patiently waiting for me,
I’m sorry it’s taking so long to come marry you,
I’m seeing that the rate of divorce in this country is very high,
So I have made up my mind that until I make up my mind not to divorce you I won’t come looking for you

#Dearfuturewife...
i currently share a room with a couple of other guys, so I’m waiting till I move to my own place, no matter how small before I come looking for you

#Dearfuturewife...
I might not have a television right now, but I can assure you one day my vision will put you on television, so just hold on,

#Dearfuturewife...
I know you have been praying to God for the best man, and you want our children to be brought up in the Fear of the Lord, hence I’m taking my time to know God better and be close enough to him to be a God-fearing husband and good father to our children, hold on I’ll soon be there

#Dearfuturewife...
The way to a man’s heart still lies (partially) in his stomach; I trust you’re a great cook? Nevermind, if you’re not I’ll gladly teach you all I learnt in catering school.

#Dearfuturewife...
I could go on and on, but in all of this I ask only one thing from you, once i come for you, don’t keep me waiting... don’t use one year to be thinking about it, No need of plenty shakara, i have already waited my whole life for you.

P.S #Dearfuturewife... I hope you know how to play rough play and do pillow fight?

it's me Your Princecharming
