LOVE💝💘is IN THE AIR,😁

Hello sir/ma, before you get it TWISTED & DO THINGS THE WRONG WAY. Borrow me few minutes of your time while I enlighten you in few minutes, a BRIEF HISTORY OF VALENTINE'S DAY!

Q: What is the real story of Valentine's Day?
A: Valentine's Day: A Day of Romance
Lupercalia survived the initial rise of Christianity but was outlawed—as it was deemed “un-Christian”–at the end of the 5th century, when Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day. It was not until much later, however, that the day became definitively associated with love.

Q: Why do we celebrate Valentine's Day?
A: A pagan fertility ritual was held in February each year and the Pope abolished this festival and proclaimed 14 February Saint Valentine's Day, thus establishing this feast day on the Catholic Calendar of Saints. The poet Chaucer in the Middle Ages was the first to link St Valentine with romantic love.

Q: What is Valentine's Day mean?
A: It celebrates romantic love, making it a popular day for *couples* to *spend together* . Valentine's Day is traditionally associated with red hearts, romance, flowers, candy or other sweet things, and the exchange of cards, called valentines, that express love.

NOTE this Key word: Is a day set aside for COUPLES to celebrate love, is not  a day meant for any single brother or sister to fornicate & get themselves implicated in any unhealthy gathering, if you must celebrate, please be wise, celebrate this day by hanging out with your friends, exchange gifts, catch fun, enjoy some cool of gist, games together but SEX SHOULD BE A NO NO FOR YOU IF YOU ARE SINGLE!


Q: What is the main purpose of Valentine Day?
A: Valentine's Day is a time when people show feelings of love, affection and friendship. It is celebrated in many ways worldwide and falls on February 14 each year. Many people see Valentine's Day as a special day to express one's love for another.

Q: What does the Bible say about Valentine?
A: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Q: What is the essence of Valentine?
A: The Essence of Valentine's Day is a day for loving . Loving means sharing. Valentine's Day is a day for sharing our care with our loved ones, friends, enemies or foes. God's lowest brethren and others.


Q: Is Valentine only for lovers?
A: Generally, we consider Valentine's Day as lover's day or a day only meant for those who are in love. But, this is not true, anyone and everyone can celebrate this beautiful day in their own ways. Even there are people who don't like idea of Valentine's Day.

Q: Is Valentine's Day important?
A: Don't let Valentine's Day be only an annual show of your love and affection. Do that all year round. You'll have a much happier, healthier relationship if your actions and words convey your love, care, respect, lust, and genuine friendship every day. Valentine's Day is to a large extent a “Hallmark” holiday.

Q: Is Valentine Day a religious celebration?
A: Originating as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus , Valentine's Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the world.


I hope with these few points of mine, I was able to CONVINCED & NOT CONFUSE YOU that VALENTINE'S DAY is a day to show genuine agape love & care to everyone whether single or married but it must be done in a way that GLORIFIES GOD!

Marriage Series 7: What Does The Bible Say About Divorce and Remarriage?

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE? First of all, no matter what view one takes on the issue of divorce, it is important to remember Malachi 2:16, “I hate divorce, says the LORD God of Israel.” According to the Bible, marriage is a lifetime commitment. “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Matthew 19:6). God realizes, though, that, since marriages involve two sinful human beings, divorces are going to occur. In the Old Testament, He laid down some laws in order to protect the rights of divorcées, especially women ( Deuteronomy 24:1–4).  Jesus pointed out that these laws were given because of the hardness of people’s hearts, not because such laws were God’s desire (Matthew 19:8). The controversy over whether divorce and remarriage is allowed according to the Bible revolves primarily around Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 . The phrase “ except for marital unfaithfulness” is the only thing in Script...

Devotional: Life Matters Discuss, Series 7

 LIFE MATTERS DISCUSS, SERIES 7 TOPIC: WINNING THE WAR IN YOUR MIND 1 BIBLE REF: Philippians 4:8-9, Proverbs 23:7, Romans 12:1-2, 2Corithians 10:3-5 Our lives are always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. What we think shapes who we are. You might read that and think I’m being an overly dramatic preacher using hyperbole to get your attention. But this is no exaggeration. Our lives do follow the direction of our thoughts. The better we grasp that truth, the better equipped we’ll be to change the trajectory of our lives. But don’t take my word for it. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true. So throughout this Bible Plan, we’ll unpack both Scripture and what we’ve learned from scientific research. Here’s a brief example of both: In Philippians 4:8–9, the apostle Paul writes, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is exce...
