I regret having premarital sex.

For many years, I didn’t think I would ever say those words. When I was younger, it didn’t look like something to regret. In fact, in the environment I grew up in, it almost felt like something to celebrate. Among my friends, experiences with women were treated like achievements. People compared stories, laughed about them, and sometimes even competed over them as if they were collecting trophies.

At that time, nobody talked about consequences. Nobody talked about the emotional weight those experiences could carry into the future. Nobody talked about what would happen when you eventually met the woman you truly loved.

Then I got married.

And that was when I began to understand something I wish someone had explained to me earlier.

You see, when you share that level of intimacy with multiple people before marriage, your mind sometimes carries memories you cannot easily erase. Moments that seemed harmless at the time suddenly become mental comparisons that you never asked for and never wanted.

There were times when I found myself battling thoughts I hated. Not because I didn’t love my wife—far from it. I loved her deeply. But I realized something painful: my past had introduced unnecessary struggles into something that was meant to be pure and peaceful.

My wife deserved better than that.

She deserved to be the only story in that area of my life. She deserved a man who was discovering everything about intimacy, connection, and vulnerability with her alone. Instead, I had to fight through memories that should never have existed in the first place.

And that is where the regret comes from.

Not because pleasure existed in the past, but because those choices followed me into my future.

People often think sexual discipline before marriage is just about rules or religious expectations. But I’ve come to realize it’s actually about something much deeper: it is about protecting the peace of your future marriage.

When you guard yourself before marriage, you are not just obeying a principle—you are preserving something beautiful for the person you will spend the rest of your life with.

You give them something rare in today’s world: a heart that has been kept, a mind that is free from comparisons, and a love story that begins with them and them alone.

Looking back now, if I could speak to my younger self, I would tell him this:

What feels like freedom today may become a burden tomorrow.

And what feels like restraint today may actually be the greatest gift you give to your future spouse.

Because the truth is, the greatest gift you can give the person you marry is not wealth, success, or even romance.

It is a heart that chose faithfulness before they ever arrived.

HUSBANDS AND WIVES WAKE UP!!!

-Bishop David Oyedepo
Beware of pride: It has thrown many, many decent people naked. Beware of pride!!
You can't be the wife and the husband at the same time: that is what you are trying to be.. It is not normal.
Husbands: wake up and also win the respect of your spouses. They mustn't be chasing after you for money for food that you will eat. No. People don't get respect, they earn it.
They earn respect Sir. Earn the respect of your spouse - 1 Timothy 5:8
There could be challenges because you are partners, you are working together, that is not a problem. But you will be doing 'Omo jaiye jaiye' all around town, it is not normal.
You know 'Omo jaiye jaiye' - it has no English interpretation, because I have been trying to, I used to be an Interpreter for an Evangelist but I can't get that one: 'Omo jaiye jaiye', 'O jaiye lo' (Yoruba phrase)
These are simple things, these things are very easy.
Now watch me: you know I am a local man. I have never bought a piece of socks, I never bought for our children when they were growing up. I don't buy food, I don't know the price of any food
That is not my area. I need my time for everything. So we have a set budget that goes for running the house and we are still in it and our house runs like a hotel. We are still in it.
My wife is a very efficient manager of those things
"They want to buy bread": They are looking for you. It is not fair. It is not fair on your time and then you start praying when they are coming. They say, "Okay, anytime you finish prayers."
I told the person in charge of my accounts, "don't bring me anything to sign on Sunday morning, I don't have time to sign anything. Bring in what I need to sign for Sunday worship on Friday."
The time is not there.
It's that time you will now wake up: Children, this is 1 Naira for your...I have never done it. When they were growing up, their mother was in charge of their offering, already budgeted.
By the time you now go to town, you are now buying yam!
One lady said to me, she said, "prices have gone up." I didn't know what it was before. How will I know now?
When I was a bachelor, one woman was helping to buy some things: the way they insulted her, I felt so much her. I said, "Is that how market is?"
"...carry it, come and steal it."
-The good news, every tension in every home goes off finally today.
-Every miracle marriage resulting from this Service will never know crisis.
-Every separation brought about by the workings of the devil, they are now restored.
-This week shall be a week of commotion of testimonies.
-Before the 7th anniversary of the Wonder Double Visitation, you will hear news: that what you are waited for years has finally happened, in the name of Jesus

How I stopped Drinking Alcohol.

~Pastor Dolapo Lawal

Some of you don’t need another prayer, you need a decision that leaves you with no exit.

Go on your social media. Turn the camera on your face and say it boldly:
“I’m making this post to the whole world, I will never go back to this again. By the grace of God, I will never return to this life. I am a Christian, and I will remain one till the day I die.”

If that’s the structure you need to burn your bridges, then do it. Stop negotiating with what is meant to be buried.

Because sometimes, the problem isn’t lack of desire, it’s lack of finality.

I remember, even before I gave my life to Christ, I used to drink for no sensible reason. And if I’m being honest, it didn’t even make sense to me.
First, it wasn’t sweet.

Second, it was expensive. Coke was 30 naira. This thing was 180 naira. So you’re not enjoyable, and you’re costing me more? Why am I even doing this?

So I sat down and thought about it.

Then one day, I was out with my friends. Everyone was ordering drinks. I said, “Give me Amstel Malt.”
They laughed. “You? You won’t drink?”
I said, “No. I won’t.”

They mocked me. Pressured me. Said, “In this place, you will still drink.”
Then I made a statement that trapped my future:

“If I ever drink again, don’t take anything I say seriously.”
The next week, we went out again, this time to Gondola Lounge. There was a moment I felt the urge. You know that feeling, you want to loosen up, you feel like you need that substance to be free.

But then it hit me:

I already spoke.

I already drew a line.

And that was it. I stopped. Completely.

Not because it became easy, but because I made it final.

Some of you are still going back because you’ve left doors open.

You still have options.
You still have “just in case.”

Listen carefully:

You don’t break cycles by managing them, you break them by ending them.

Burn the bridge.

Make it impossible to return to the version of you that God is calling you out of.

It’s either God or nothing.

Not God and something.

Not God when it’s convenient.

It’s either God of all… or He’s not God at all.

Make a public commitment today, write it on the comment section, post it, declare it. Then live like there’s no way back.

It has been statistically proven that relationships put on social media tend to end faster than those kept off it.

You just started dating two weeks ago, and you’ve already begun posting yourselves everywhere, ‘my love,’ ‘my heart,’ ‘the love of my life.’

What you’re doing… you’re setting that relationship up for strain. You’re placing unnecessary pressure on something that hasn’t even had time to grow.

I’m not saying you can’t post, post your spouse. But then some people swing to the other extreme: ‘I’m not posting them,’ and you end up posting just a hand. A hand? All those things… what exactly are you trying to prove? Nobody really cares.

Be private, but don’t be secret. Let your parents know, let his friends know, let your friends know, people who genuinely matter to you.

It doesn’t have to be the whole world; at least a handful from each side, your inner circle, should know.

It shouldn’t be that kind of relationship where ‘nobody must know.’ You’re too mature for that. That, in itself, is a red flag.

If your calling came from God, He is responsible to fulfill it. You do not have to force what God promised.
