Do you really love your self? Part 2



Love, friendship, business or any teamwork is meant to be a two sided. If you are the only person investing into the relationship, friendship, business or any teamwork – YOU ARE NOT WISE. Even God gave us His son to die for us in other for us to be reconciled back to Him. Our reconciliation to God was what God gained from His Son that he gave to die for our sake. The principle of giving and receiving is a must in the kingdom of God.

The major question life, love, relationship, friendship, marriage or business will have to ask you always is WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER?
 
The only Pillar that sustain life, love, relationship, friendship, marriage or business is GAIN (what do I stand to gain? What about me?) You need other people and other person needs you. This truth is what will make your wisdom to be balanced.

In life, friendship, marriage, relationship, and business – the only principle that works is TEAMWORK.

Your Life, Relationships, and Resources Belong to God

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s about recognizing that everything you are and everything you have belongs to God. Your life, time, relationships, and even your emotions are divine trusts, not personal possessions. Psalm 24:1 reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” When you understand this truth as a youth, it changes how you make choices, treat people, and handle opportunities. In dating and relationships, stewardship means honoring God with your heart and choices. You don’t date to fill loneliness; you date to reflect purpose. Your emotions should be guided by wisdom, not impulse. When you see your partner as someone God trusts you to treat with dignity, purity, and patience, your approach changes. You begin to love responsibly and communicate with respect, knowing you’ll give an account for how you handle another person’s heart. For singles, stewardship includes how you use your time and gifts while waiting. Every ...

Youths and Emotional Boundaries

In today’s culture where emotions often lead and convictions take the backseat, many singles and youths find themselves entangled in relationships that slowly pull them away from God rather than draw them closer. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of romantic attention and companionship, but without clear spiritual boundaries, you may end up sacrificing your devotion, purity, and even your purpose.

Maintaining spiritual boundaries means deciding ahead of time that your walk with God will not be compromised for temporary affection or unguided passion. It’s choosing prayer over pressure, purpose over pleasure, and worship over wandering emotions. When you begin to sense that a relationship is making you too ...

Time, Talents, and Treasures: Ticket For True Love

Before stepping into a relationship, it’s important to pause and reflect on what God has already placed in your care—your time, your talents, and your treasures. These three areas shape how you live, love, and lead in purpose. The way you handle them as a single person reveals how prepared you are to love rightly and build a purposeful relationship. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Your single season is not a waiting room; it’s a building ground. How you invest your time now—through prayer, learning, service, and self-growth—determines your readiness for love later. If you waste your time chasing validation or distractions, you may carry emotional emptiness into the next phase of your life. Redeem your time by prioritizing what strengthens your relationship with God and your purpose. Your talents are divine gifts meant to be discovered and developed before you share your life with someone else. Matthew 25:14-30 teaches abo...
