Love rocks! Few things can be compared to the joy of being in a strong, healthy and happy relationship. But you would agree that relationships require hard work, time, attention, planning, and executing activities that ultimately lead to the intimacy and happiness you so desire. Without the necessary efforts to keep the love alive, the relationship will wither. Do this for 1, 3 or 8 years, it's eventually time to walk down the aisle…and suddenly there is a REVELATION!…which oftentimes becomes the genesis of a super story.
Let me to introduce you to Lanre – resourceful, pretty, hardworking Advertising Executive and God-fearing too. Lanre is engaged to be married to a widower. They have been together for 4years and she's ready to tie the knot with the love of her life. It's been a long time coming. "Have you asked for God's blessing on this wedding? Are you sure he is the man for you? Let us go and seek God's face" suggested Aunty Kella.
A visit to a religious leader reveals Lanre is headed for destruction if she marries le boo. The chances of her dying on her wedding night are as high as a mountain. Fast forward 3 days and it is end of engagement, end of her highly anticipated wedding. Lanre is 37.Now here's what I think… Deciding whom you'll marry is hugely important and will affect extensively the rest of your life. Given the weight of this decision, it's only natural to want reassurance that you're doing the right thing. What I really do not understand is why that reassurance should come only from a religious leader – Pastor or Alfa in our part of the world.
No offense, but why is he seeing this vision when the couple is a step away from singlehood? Why not see it in their 1st or 2nd year of dating? Is it the same vision that gives a man the audacity to walk up to a woman and tell her that God has revealed to him that the lady in question is his wife when in actuality, all he has done is donate handsomely to a religious leader so that he will see the vision to his advantage?
Whilst it's okay to seek HIS guidance in the choice of a marriage mate, where exactly do you draw the line? Whatever happened to praying on your own or with your would-be spouse?

What do you think? Would you listen to a religious leader's advice to leave the man/woman of your dreams because he foresees danger…after dating le boo for only God-knows-how-long? Your heart tells you to stay. You know you are meant for each other, you have invested so much in the relationship. 5 years no be beans.
Breaking your heart and his is the least thing you want to do right now. Would you go ahead and cancel your wedding or would you listen to the late Joan Rivers who said – "Don't follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise."
Please indulge us, what has He revealed to you while reading this article? Pray, tell!
TITLE>>>>>>FORBIDDEN
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
.... Chapter Seven Mr. Jacobs was sitting in the dark inside the cathedral when he saw the three figures. They were carrying a small sack. He wondered who the boys were; so, these were the thieves that did not believe his story that it was the forbidden fruit and had been stealing from it. He picked up his cane and went out through the side door as noiselessly as possible. He began to tiptoe towards the boys who were busy picking the oranges and plucking the ones their hands could reach. "Now, all of you come over here to me," Mr. Jacob said. The boys froze and looked around but they could not see him in the darkness. They were nonetheless frightened. "You all go on your knees," Mr hicobs voice came again, then his figure came as he left the shadow of the cathedral. Afraid, the boys fell on their knees. They were too young to know that he had not seen their faces in the darkness and would not recognize them if they ran off "Do you know you have sinned? That you disobeyed me by going to the orange tree? I told you the fruits were the forbidden fruits yet you went there. And since it did not belong to you, you stole from it," Mr. Jacobs said. ....
