Hello madam,
Its good to read you again. I ask God to give me strength to be a Deborah. You have made her story more meaningful to me. I have heard of Deborah for long and have read a few passages in the Bible on her. This article have brought the meaning of her life and assignment clearer to me. Having waited for long for your article, this is rewarding. Thanks.

Can we get a Deborah in this 21st century? Where women walk the streets like demons? Perish the thought.

I just read Bimbo Odukoya's article and then read yours. Combining the two, its a tall order to expect any moral from these girls these days. A real tall order. There is no single Deborah in our churches again. Maybe articles like this will wake them up.

Good example there. But how realistic is it to get a Deborah now?

A teaching article like this will go a long way to touch lives than the sensational ones in this edition like 3 Rich Pastors, Oyakhilome's mega business, etc.
Please focus on teaching because we don't get such in some of our Churches again. Pastors now quote philosophers, Jim Rhon, Napoleon Hill, John Maxwell, etc, rather than quote Jesus or the Bible.

Thanks for writing at last. I hope you will expand on the issue of tithe someday.
I drink from different but credible rivers, that is I attend one physical church here in Lagos but I also attend other churches through the television. I can say I get more blessed like that. And its like I'm attending internet fellowship at elifeonline.net because I visit this website every single day. And I get blessed too. Where will my tithe go to.

Hello Madam,
I am Tolu, whom you responded to at the help page on my delayed marriage. I hope you still have me on your prayer list.
My question now is, what do you think I should be doing in this waiting period? What should be engaging my time? Where should I be going to meet the right people? I am so confused. So confused. So many advisers. So many sympathisers. Its like Ive lost billions. Everybody now greet me with "God will do it." Ha!, I feel like running away.
I have to come to this page to hear from you because only your response gives me peace.
Tolu, Ibadan.
Pastor Mrs. Adeyemi responds:
Dear Friends,
Thanks for your comments. I love you all. Really, we have some Deborahs and can still have more in this 21st Century as God's plan is to anoint people like you to be one.
Bro. Olatunde Olapade,
I thank God for your life. I discovered from your comment that you don't spend your time on unprofitable things, rather you love to hear the word of God in so many ways.
About on the issue of tithe, my advice is that you should pay your tithe to your Church where you worship all the time. If on any occasion, the Holy Spirit instructs you to pay a specific tithe to a specific man of God that is good, you can as well send gifts/donation to any Church as the Holy Spirit leads you, but your usual tithe must be paid to your Church. That is where you receive your constant blessing.
My dear Tolu,
Your name is always on my prayer list. You have become a special friend to me. Look here, where have you got sympathisers? I hate the sound of that! You haven't got any problem, have you? You are only waiting for the will of God. Please don't allow the devil to steal away your faith, Read and meditate on Heb.11:1,6. Read and read over verse 6. Now get this right, your salvation is greater than marriage. Marriage is good because it is an institution of God, and that is why God made an Eve for every Adam. Your Adam will walk into your life in Jesus name. Did I hear your Amen? Listen, Daniel and his friends decided to go into the fire even if God will not rescue them instead of bowing for an idol. They prefer to die as children of God.
Our faith should develop to that stage. You know the result of their faith, God eventually deliver them and their deliverance was so glorious. God is ever faithful. Such shall be your testimony in Jesus name. Don't run away, it could be dangerous.
Remember you are not the only lady in that situation. It is never late. What you should engage yourself with is the word of God. Read about Hannah, Daniel, and Abraham etc. The Bible has answer to all your enquiries. Common, REJOICE in the Lord ALWAYS. You don't need any special places to go in order to meet your man, it is the POWER of God that will connect you, not your wisdom.
Eat well, fast occasionally as the Spirit of God leads you, dress well, always be in the presence of God, put your mind off the issue, focus your mind on spiritual things , don't entertain the so called sympathisers, never you weep, be strong and before you know it, God will sort you out. Do you know this song? sing it always, it will strengthen you " Aigbagbo bila, temi Loluwa". Tolu, I'm waiting to hear your testimony soon.
Remain blessed.
I thank you Madam. The Lord bless you.
Tolu.
Im thrilled by what I read here. I never knew there is a website like this from Africa. Its great to know that we could interact on healthy, soul building and soul winning website like this.
However,
I want to agree with those who said to find a Deborah now is a tall order. When I read the fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs of the article by Mrs. Adeyemi, (I guess she is a Nigerian) I want to believe she must be talking of a full-time housewife.
If any 21st century man waits to have such attention from his wife, especially here in London where the man washes the plate as the woman cooks the meal, they will soon divorce. Here in London, as Mrs Adeyemi herself knows, no man should wait on woman to do all these. Except in Africa, especially, Kenya, where I come from. Her article is just an idea, not practicable.

How nice it would be to find one to marry. May be the writer could tell us where to get one.

The writer is not saying this is a must. She is only appealing to us that we should aspire to be one. Stop reading unnecessary meanings to harmless articles.
Allan Adeola,
Texas.
She herself knows that in a world where we have all lost faith in mankind, in a world where mother kills her child for money rituals, in a world where divorce is twenty for a cent, in a world where you can marry on the internet, such virtues have died long ago.

Hello Madam,
Thanks for responding to me specifically. I just read your husband's response on the tithe matter. He said I should pay to where Im blessed. ..."Where Do I pay My Tithe? You are to pay your tithe to wherever you are receiving Spiritual instructions that is benefiting your soul."
You said I should pay my tithe to my church .... "About the issue of tithe, my advice is that you should pay your tithe to your Church where you worship all the time."
Well, im to decide what to do now.
Thanks.
