Proverbs 14:1
"Every wise woman buildeth her house...."
Why not sit back, know the qualities before trekking the streets of Lagos in the name of "whosoever findeth".
What are the main qualities to look forward to in a woman?We have to consider the issue of women or rather wives. On the contrary, I didn't have to move round Surulere to write this article. I just looked deep into the bible. You see that's the beautiful thing about the bible. It's so funny we have an encyclopedia of all life questions answered to detail, but we just toss it around and leave to a Sunday-Sunday affair whilst we listen to the opinion of men setting them as our standard.She must be slim, curvy, have a British accent, natural hair, cook jollof well (lool!)...the list continues. I think this is the reason why so many ladies are seriously working out. But who would marry the fat ones?...that's a topic for another day.You see, women differ and God designed them to be help mates. Therefore we could infer that God designed all women to be help mates...In short all to have a husband sort of. Therefore, there's surely more to a helper than the curves and jollof. This qualities are deep and to be cultivated.Looking at this scripture, it gives us the wisdom of caution in choosing and also helps us (especially for those already courting) to know whether you are with the right lady.
If during dating/courtship, all she does is spend, spend, spend...from iPhone to BB classic to all sorts and she never for once talks about the future...Mehn rethink oooooo!She never encourages you to dream big, instead she makes huge withdrawals; emotionally and financially. Baba wakeup!!
You can easily infer two things concerning her attitude from today's scripture.1) She is not wise
2) Obviously she's foolishLet me add an unconscious third..Guy, the difference between you and an automated teller machine is slim..very slim..Someone would say, this is so basic, everyone knows this...Alright, how come many are still victims?Get my point, I am not saying the physical qualities are bad; in fact that fosters attraction. My point is simple:
"MARRY A BALANCED LADY"
The divorce rate is getting higher, together we can stop this by implementing simple steps starting from dating.Someone would also say..how does a futuristic girlfriend (who spends reasonably) tie up with prudence?
The bible verse below answers your question
"The wise in heart shall be called prudent..."
She can't be wise and not be prudent. Simply put, the symbol of wisdom is prudence. I mean with time, money,resources.I'd pick it up from here next time..till then, THINK ooooo...before you enter and begin to say "It's better for man to be alone". Hereby, avoiding stories that touch! Run for your life!!!!

This is a guest post from a very good friend of mine.The article is a spiritual one that resonates with me and I'm sure you will resonate with it too.
Proverbs 17:27-28
27 "He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28 "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding"
"Sometimes it's better to be quiet and be thought a fool, than to speak and clear all benefits of doubt" - Seun A.
This quote and the bible passage are in complete harmony. A man of understanding is characterized by two things;
1) Few words
2) Excellent spirit.
Zig Ziglar nailed the essence of this post in his quote "The funny thing about people who talk too much is that they have nothing upstairs". Few words and excellent spirit goes hand in hand. They follow a basic rule..."If you don't have anything important to say, shut up and observe...and seriously people would ask you of your opinion".
It just works. Infact you would be thought to be very wise and of an excellent spirit after u've spoken because you've virtually listened to all they've said and put it eloquently in a good summary, drawing out the basic conclusion.
Prov 15:23 said "A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: a word spoken in due season, how good is it!"
When you speak at the right moment; it becomes a good word. Speaking when it matters most also makes you feel good and smart. Even if you don't know anything about the subject being told; relax and listen to what all of them have to say..then draw a smart conclusion that gets their heads all nodding. Doesn't mean you are smarter than they are intellectually; but shows a your understanding on a basic biblical tool for the wise in heart!
Action point: Act on this quote I got from a friend: "Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that will carry you to power." Right moment speeches carry power!

The article below is spiritual (not religious in anyway) and it resonates with me. The article was sent to me by a very good friend of mine. I hope it resonates with you too....
"And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?" [Acts 19:15]
Reading your bible is non-negotiable as a Christian or else you'd be oppressed, beaten and battered by the enemy. You have to know who you are, your standing in Christ because that's what gives you the authority to use His name.
In [Acts 19:13-15] it was clear that the sons of Sceva didn't have any identity in Christ. Examine the statement the evil spirit said in verse 15: "Jesus I know and Paul I know; but who are ye?". The evil spirit even gave them an opportunity to talk about their standing by asking "Who are ye?".
But they obviously didn't have any standing and obviously no answer, they simply copied Paul. The end result was clear in verse 16. They enjoyed the beating of their lives.
In our daily lives, challenges would come asking this same question "Who are ye?". YOU EITHER HAVE AN ANSWER OR GET A BEATING. There's no mid-point. It's high time we started studying the scriptures consistently.
ACTION POINT: Start from a daily study of the word to build a strong sense of your rights and privileges in Christ.
