Boy noun, \boi\a young man who lacks maturity, judgment.

M any desperate s is ters have been deceived by nice looking and wel l

behaved brothers who end up being the wrong choice. A boy as def ined in this ar t ic le is an adul t male who seems to be ready for marr iage but is actual ly not. Some boys t ry to marry s is ters but they already have a wife and in some cases chi ldren in other places. When a relat ionship is made known to the church some of these facts are brought to l ight. I t is bet ter for one to wai t for God’s choice ins tead of ending up wi th a boy.

•CommunicationThe way or frequency wi th which a couple communicate shows how strong a commitment they have to each other. I f an intended is too busy to cal l , beware he may be a boy. The Lord sets the example by saying “Men ought always to pray and not to faint .” When we faint we are edging closer to death. I t

is in the place of praying or communicat ing wi th God that our fai th is bui l t up and we receive empowerment to l ive out His word and promises to us. When you enter a home the way a man, his wife and their chi ldren communicate wi th each other wi l l te l l you how heal thy their relat ionship is . So i f he is too busy to cal l or communicate wi th you, he may not be the one. Prov 18:22 says “Whoever f inds a wife, f inds a good thing and obtains favor from The Lord”, and Eph 5:31,”For this cause shal l a man leave his father a n d m o t h e r and shal l be joined unto his

wife . . . . . . . .” Marr iage is for men and not for boys.

•Honour1Peter3:7 “Likewise,Husbands.. . . . . . .giv ing honor unto the wife. . . . . .” You are a man and not a boy when you know how to treat a woman. Wife beat ing is a big no-no. When you beat your wife regardless of your age, your appearance, your profess ion or s tatus in l i fe, you are s t i l l a boy. Many s is ters have made wrong choices that led them into marr iages of physical and emotional abuse.

•TogethernessWhen a man spends more t ime wi th the boys than wi th his wife, he is s t i l l a boy.

When a man hardly spends t ime at home wi th his wife he endangers the marr iage. •Priceless JewelCompet ing wi th your wife or feel ing threatened by her potent ial and try ing to cap her abi l i t ies means one is s t i l l a boy and not a man. Did the word not say that the two shal l become one? When you promote your wife you are promoting yoursel f . The Bible says a man is a cover ing for the

wife and not a l id or a s topper. Many marr iages suffer because of this .

• The Love of MoneyA brother who places money above his wife or chi ldren is s t i l l a boy. Some old brothers who

think they have money refuse to set t le down because they think no one is good enough for them. A boy thinks he can buy a good marr iage wi th money. Money has l imi tat ions. I t can buy you books but i t can’ t buy you brains. Money can buy you a man or a woman but i t can’ t buy you f idel i ty . I t can buy you the Transcorp Hi l ton, or a nice place of worship but i t can’ t buy you heaven. A boy thinks everything is about money and he misses the r ight person God chooses for Him. He forgets that poor people fal l in love, marry and have happy marr iages. When the pursui t of money is the top pr ior i ty , then you are s t i l l a boy. Contd on Page 4

Girl noun, \gurl\a young, immature woman.

By Pastor Tunde Benjamins-Laniyi

DHP FEBRUARY EDITIONAre you declaring the praise of the Most High God? If you are not, you need to start right away! Psalm 117 says nations and people should praise the Lord because of His great love towards us and his faithfulness that endureth forever. In February’s edition of Declare His Praise, we had Flo lead us in worship. As his name suggests, he indeed knows how to flow in intense worship and usher people into the presence of God. It was truly an awesome experience! People were lost in worship of our God.

Declare His Praise has indeed become a signature program in RCCG Throne Room parish. It holds every first Sunday of the month at the Congress Hall of The Transcorp Hilton Hotel. We look forward to seeing you at future editions of Declare His praise for a truly awesome worship experience.

The father needs to deliver us from girls. Remember Prov 18:22 says “Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor

from The Lord”. A man finds a wife not a girl.

•Mental and Spiritual MaturityOne’s composure and mentality may be that of a girl and this may discourage men from asking for your hand in marriage. A woman must be a wife first before she can be found. A lot of eligible bachelors may have beautiful girlfriends but when they are ready to marry they call their mothers in the vil lage and ask them to find them wives. This is because they know the difference between a wife and a girlfriend. Neither your age nor your size makes you a wife. Your mental and spiritual maturity does.

•ValuesWhen a woman is ready to start with a man in one room she is a wife. If a woman says she can’t marry a man unless he has a Jeep then she is

sti l l a girl. Do you know that the builder of the house has more honor than the house according to the Bible? The owner of the car should have more honor than the car. If the Jeep is more important to you than the man , you are sti l l a girl. Don’t marry a man because of the quality of his job; marry him for the quality of God in his life. Don’t marry a man because of the size of his mansion; marry him because of the size of his mission. Many successful couples today started with very li t t le but invested over the years and have grown. Superficial girls are not ready to marry. They are impressed with the house, the gadgets, the size of the TV, etc. Don’t marry a man because of the size of his television . Marry him because of the size of his vision. A woman should look for what is on the inside of a man. Dynamite, it is said, comes in small packages. Women pray that the Lord will help you not to miss His choice for you. My prayer for the church is that there will be many successful marriages contracted this year in the precious name of Jesus.

By Bro. James IniamaIMPORTUNITY IN PRAYERS

Men do not seem to have power with God and I am hoping by this write

up, to encourage us men to take up our priestly mantle for ourselves, our families, the church and our nation. There is a crying need for the revelation of the will of God as we seek to fulfi l l our leadership role. John 1:12 tells us that the people who receive Him become His sons and get to share in the power and inheritance of God’s kingdom. Jesus’ l i festyle was epitomized by prayer before, during and even at crucifixion. Even though the disciples may have had difficulty l iving the lifestyle of prayer, they must have seen that he looked different after emerging from a time of prayer and that He was fi l led with power and the revelation of the Father’s will. This was probably the reason why in Luke 11:1-4, they humbly asked Jesus to teach them how to pray.

T he acknowledgement of a man’s spiritual poverty and a desire for change opens the door to the kind of relationship God wants

to have with us. We need to ask the Lord to teach us to pray, believing that He will answer. Luke 18:1b says” men ought always to pray and not to faint”. Jesus taught that we should be persistent,unrelenting, unceasing and fervent in prayer.In a prayer transaction with God there is :• The man who prays• The subject matter of the

prayers• The adversary and• God who answers prayer and before whom all

things are possible.Importunity in prayers invites a Christian to grow in a lifestyle of continuing, persistent prayer with total dependence on God. Whether we get immediate answers or not , our persistence builds an unbroken relationship with God. It also strengthens our faith. James 5:16b says” the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”(KJV). Jesus admonished a lifestyle of praying day and night. In Luke 18:7 He says, “Shall not God avenge His own elect which cry day and night to Him?” in reference to His teaching on the unjust judge. Our faith, according to the Lord, is a necessary ingredient of prayer. He recommends

T hat we may believe when we pray so that we can receive. That we should

not waiver when we ask the father, and we must not stop trusting the Lord for our righteousness is of Him.If we pray only to have our needs met, our prayer life will be unfruitful. Our priestly duty requires us to stand before God for ourselves but much more on behalf of others. Matt 7:7-8 seems to suggest that prayer may not be convenient and can be

stressful but that it requires a persistent attitude. Because we

invite God’s response in prayer we increasingly get to know Him

for who He is. Prayer enables us take hold of Gods pleasure(Isaiah

56:1-8). It enables us to take sides with God in His plans, purposes and will.

P aul invites the church at Ephesus to pray always, to supplicate, to pray in the Spirit, to maintain an intercessory watch and to do all these with

perseverance(Eph 6:18). If men will pray always and not faint, if men will earnestly desire to have a relationship with God, if men will purpose that they will be priests, first onto themselves, families,

businesses and the nation; we will f ind many more men who will f ind power with God! It is only in persistent prayers we learn to pray. It is in persistent prayers we love praying.

We overcome self in persistent prayers. Every knee bows when we are

relentless in confronting the thrones of darkness because we

would do so in the Name of Jesus Christ. We must be unceasing in our prayer lives. Jesus Christ introduced another dimension to importunity in prayers when the people pressed for the signs of the end time. He taught them not only to pray always, but to ‘’Watch and Pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man’’- Luke 21:36. To watch is an entire subject on its own and is a priestly duty. It is a resolved position, and a lifestyle that demands discussion. That is how the Lord and teacher considered importunity in prayers and I say to all pray always that we may be accounted worthy to escape!

I want to testify to the glory of God for His miraculous provision during and after our wedding, which took place on the 1st February, 2014. My then fiancé and I joined the church in June 2013 as corp members. We wanted to get married before the end of the service year but didn’t know how it was going to happen. We asked the pastor to pray for us and he assured us that God would make it possible for us. After listening to the teaching on favor we felt led to sow the money we had been saving towards the traditional marriage ceremony

and for renting an apartment. Thereafter we fixed dates for the traditional and church wedding even though we had no more money. Two weeks to the traditional wedding we still had no money and it seemed as if we had deceived ourselves. We couldn’t even proceed with the preparations. Exactly one week to the wedding, God proved himself to be Jehovah El-Shaddai (The all sufficient

God). He raised helpers from where we least expected. We were able to pay for a well furnished apartment, have a successful wedding and had money left over at the end of the ceremony. We sincerely appreciate the pastor and his wife and all the ministers of God who gave us their spiritual, moral and financial support. Bless God for He alone can do the impossible. He is indeed our all sufficient God. Charity Daniel Isiuwe

“Testimonies have a way of reproducing themselves”

Divine Healing

While my younger sister was undergoing treatments in India for other ailments , some lumps were discovered in her breasts. The results of the ensuing mammogram were” Ill defined echoic mass with high density in both breasts”. The other treatments were suspended and the results were reviewed by several oncologists. She was asked to do an MRI but this couldn’t be done due to the other treatments she was undergoing. A biopsy was ordered instead. After the procedure the oncologist said that the prognosis wasn’t good. He felt my sister had stage three breast cancer because the lumps were said to be “ bilateral, bloody and big in size”. My family and I were very worried as we awaited the results especially because several members of the family have had cancer in the past. The week we spent waiting seemed to be the longest in my life but we kept praying and trusting God for a miracle. The Lord answered and before the results were due the doctor couldn’t wait to give us the good news that the tests came out negative. Praise the prayer answering God!!!

Divine Provision

Divine ProvisionDeliverance From Death

I would like to bless the name of the Lord for my mother’s life. I thank God from saving her from dying in a fatal car accident on the 19th of March. She was driving on her way back from a visit to her sister, when her car was hit by a trailer that had swerved to avoid a keke napep. Her car was badly damaged and the driver of the keke napep was badly hurt. But my mother was not hurt because the Lord most high delivered her. Further tests at the hospital confirmed that she had no injuries. I would like to give all the Glory to God. He is indeed an awesome God. Sis Helen

I was offered a place to study for an M.Sc in Nursing Science at a university in the U.K. Before leaving for Lagos to complete my documentation I asked the pastor to pray for me. He prayed that the Lord would send helpers of destiny to me. During the processing of my paperwork, I was asked to make a payment I couldn’t afford. To my greatest surprise the Lord sent a man who I had never met before to support me with N2,500,000.00. A few days later while my visa was being processed, another helper was sent by the Lord. This person promised to sponsor my Ph.D. Praise the God of the Throneroom for His provision in my life. Sis Divine Olayinka.

Growing Up: How To Give Your Children a Good Start in Life

Bringing up a child is one of the most difficult responsibilities an adult can have. Yet it is the job for which we have had practically no

formal training. Most people acquire knowledge about child rearing from the people around them or from their own upbringing. As a result, when they become parents, they often find themselves repeating patterns from their own childhoods that might not be appropriate to their own children. The way in which the parents behave towards and speak to their children has enormous influence on their development. Worse than that, they may hear themselves admonishing their kids with phrases their parents used to use, and which they vowed never ever to utter once they had children of their own. Where there are two parents actively involved in bringing up a child, it is important for them to communicate constantly with each other on issues of discipline and also on what they expect of their children’s behavior. In this way they will also present a united front with their partner – and this will give their kids

useful messages about security and consistency.

Why is Discipline Necessary?

Discipline enables parents to demonstrate acceptable and non-acceptable behavior to their child. By establishing boundaries

for the child, you are helping them to learn what is expected from them and how to behave in society. This is necessary for the child to grow into a responsible adult. Discipline is a

difficult issue as it must be fair and consistent.

Lack of consistent and appropriate discipline may produce confused and rootless children who constantly seek to test others in order to establish

the boundaries within the relationship. Maintaining consistent discipline can be very demanding and time consuming. In a two-parent family, life is much easier if both partners keep talking through their methods and goals together. By doing this they can give each other support in situations where it’s tempting to just give in for the sake of peace and quiet.

How Do You Provide Your Child With Self-Confidence?

A child’s self image develops from ‘Day one’. Children become very aware of their parents’ feelings and behaviour. They hear not only the

words they say but the tone of their voices. They observe and recognise their body language. They watch their facial expressions closely. The children

model themselves on the things they say and do. Therefore, the way in which the parents behave towards and speak to their children has enormous influence on their development. Most importantly, it can affect the children’s self-confidence. When parents constantly praise and affirm their offspring, they ensure that their children grow up with appropriate self-esteem. But when parents are critical or inconsistent or even unloving, their children will invariably grow up undervaluing themselves. Some parents focus on their children’s bad behaviour and criticise them all the time. A degree of helpful criticism may be necessary, but if a child hears only anger and criticism, his or her self-confidence will be undermined. More than

that, he will learn that the only time he gets attention is when he is bad – so he will behave badly. Praising and rewarding good behaviour is more beneficial than constant criticism. To hug the child and praise him or her for good behaviour encourages the child to see that being nice or kind or agreeable brings rewards. It also encourages good self-esteem. Remember, it is important for children to hear you say you love them. If your child has behaved badly, you should criticise the bad behaviour and not the child.

THRONE ROOM CARE CENTRES

On the 14th of February, in the spirit of love, the youth of the RCCG, Throne Room Parish were treated to a lovely time at the Vines Hotel, Durumi, Abuja. The event was organized by the No Compromise Connect, the youth fellowship of the church. The youth and singles had a fun evening of dinner, games, karaoke and laughter. The event was a time for the youth and singles to bond and express themselves without fear or shame in a Godly environment. The No Compromise Connect focuses on providing opportunities for members to gather in His name and mutually edify and encourage one another in faith, strengthening each other in the Spirit and the Word. This is just one of the many events the NCC have planned for this Year of the Overflow. Be sure to not miss out.

FEBRUARY 14TH YOUTH GAME NIGHT

GBAMFA COMMUNITY: REACH OUT AND TOUCH OUTREACH

“For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye

visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” Matt 25:35-36

On the 1st of March, 2014 , the gospel of Christ came to Gbamfa community, Abaji. After more than a 3 hour drive from Abuja city center, we had to step out to fix the simple plain wood bridge just to make way for our vehicles. As we arrived, the small square was full of villagers. They came empty handed but because of the free will donation of RCCG Throne Room Parish, they received food, clothes, shoes, bibles, medical consultation, and free dugs from our medical team. The medical teams gave free medical attention to the sick as well as HIV tests. There was also a counselling team available. Above all, we shared the gospel of hope to them and many gave their lives to Christ.
