Introduction

The Bible passages today encourage us to always commit our ways into the hands of God for a proper and successful ending. With this, we would realise the importance of courtship in marriage planning. Courtship is a period of relationship between a man and a woman in which they seek to determine if it is God’s will for them to marry each other. During courtship, intending couples are expected to become more exposed to each other's backgrounds and accustomed to each other's habits. It is a period for alignment of purposes, sharing of thoughts, feelings, aspirations, dreams, beliefs, ideals and values in other to test each other’s maturity, character and personality and to determine whether or not the couple really love each other and are seriously ready for marriage. However, it is very important to note that christian courtship is totally different from dating which is factored on selfish goals of having fun and enjoying romantic attachments; rather, christian courtship thrives on godliness, holiness, transparency and honesty through engagement in joint prayer, Bible study and church services together to strengthen their faith.

1 Corinthians 11:24-25
“And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’
In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ of Akure Anglican Diocese

Happy Mothering Sunday! 🌷

Today we celebrate the incredible women God has used to nurture, guide, and love us so deeply. Mothers are a beautiful reflection of God’s care—strong, patient, sacrificial, and full of grace.

“Her children arise and call her blessed.” – Proverbs 31:28

To every mother, grandmother, and mother figure in our lives: thank you for your prayers, your sacrifices, and your endless love. May God continue to strengthen you, bless you, and reward you for all that you do.

Happy Mothering Sunday! 💐
