"The fact that you are a Christian does not in any way take romance out of your marriage. Marriage is the only institution where romance and intimacy is allowed between a man and a woman. Some pastors hardly go on dates with their spouses because they consider such a romantic activity as a distraction from their focus on spiritual matters. Some of them don’t even play with their spouses anymore. Beloved, the anointing does not reduce the need for romance in marriage.
Isaac was an anointed man of God and a successful businessman, yet in Genesis 26:8, the Bible says he was being romantic with his wife:
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
Don’t become too rigid in your marriage; don’t have more fun elsewhere without your spouse. Make the times that you and your spouse spend together so much fun that you are always looking forward to seeing each other again. If you are married, remember how you used to talk for long hours with your spouse before you got married and had children; revive that relationship again. Your spouse is still the same fellow you were very fond of, and the things you loved in him or her are still there. Don’t let all the cares of this life distract you from the gems in your spouse.
Once in a while, compose a poem for your spouse and read it to him or her in a romantic setting. Spice things up with pleasant surprises every now and then. Write a note and put it in his or her bag so that when they get to the office and open their bag, they will see the note and smile. Have a pet name that you call each other behind closed doors. Up until today, there is a pet name my wife calls me when we are alone. I equally have a pet name that I call her, and every time I call her by that name, she cannot but smile at me lovingly. When we are alone, we are lovers, not Daddy G.O and Mummy G.O. Your marriage can be like heaven on earth if you and your spouse are deliberate about remaining the lovebirds that you were when you first got married. Don’t let the romance die.
KEY POINT
One of the ways to ensure that your marriage remains like heaven on earth is to keep the romance alive."-Pastor Adeboye's post on X-platform (2024).

"You can have a pencil, but if you don't sharpen it, it won't write. Apply that to wealth building. Wealth comes from knowledge. You have a brain. But if you don't sharpen your mind by reading, you won't be leading in wealth. You know the lyrics to Asake's latest songs. You know all the latest salacious gossip about AY and the risky boy. You know who is doing who in your neighbourhood and where and when they do what they do.
But you don't know about Cryptocurrencies, the Nasdaq 100 and the Nasdaq Composite, Blockchain, the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, REITS, Russel 2000, Wiltshire 5000, NFTs, the Metaverse, Digital wallet, Minting, Smart Contracts, Crypto mining, Futures Market, etc. And you don't know because you don't sharpen the pencil of your mind by reading.
In the year of 2024, poverty is a choice. Wealth will run to you if you develop your mind and acquire knowledge. If you fail to sharpen your mind, wealth will run from you. And you don't even have to take a course anymore. All of this knowledge is available to you on the Internet.
Read the free digital copies of the Business Insider, Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, the Harvard Business Review, Fortune, and Forbes to learn about emerging technologies so your investments can be up to tomorrow. That is how to transform information into knowledge and, from there to wealth."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).
