One shall chase a thousand. Two, ten thousand.
Those were words spoken to me by Mrs. Stephens of Foursquare Gospel Church, Lagos Island on a particular day. I remember the Sunday Service when she pulled me aside and began to talk. Of all she said, these are the words that do not leave me. They are from the Bible. She was referring to marriage and why the devil is after it. The numerical progression is amazing.
I had a lot of counselors before marriage. They are still there to be reached if I need to. Rev. Omowo, Mr. Stephens, Dr. Eziyi, Pastor Richman, Mr. Okiokio, the Oyedepos, the Hagees, the Lamidis and so many others I would keep for another day.
The words above stands out today as I look at Kiitan and myself praying. We decided to take time out to pray for souls. Not just those that are yet to receive the salvation of their souls but those in the kingdom also.
Prayer is one thing I did for a short time on my own. I wasn't the one to spend 30 minutes praying even when the Pastor advised that we should do it at our homes. 15 minutes was a lot of time to spend praying. I remember I attended a Foundation School at the Winners Chapel, Ile-Ife and I asked the teacher how easy it was to pray for 1 hour. And he smiled as he answered. It gets better as you continue in it...
I have come to a point where I gain strength in prayer.
