I have two friends and both are christians. One, a sister, God-fearing who has been trusting God for marriage partner. The second friend also is a believer, a brother who is looking up to God for a wife. Both eventually went to their church leaders handling marriage issue to declare how God is leading them to marry eachother. The brother claimed to have God's assurance and conviction on this matter and likewise the sister. The only problem according to the brother is that physically speaking, he does not like, neither admire the sister. The brother is always shameful, sees dryness and unhappy whenever he is with the sister and it appears that he does not have love for her. This brother seems not to have the same eagerness Jacob had in the Bible that made him to labour for that long years because of love he had for his wife. The only thing that is making the brother to still believe the leading is because of the similarities he saw in the way God leads him in the job he is doing and this present marriage issue. On the side of the sister, she is not aware of the problem the brother is having. This my brother needs you to advise him on what to do. At the same time, counsel me please so that I can advise the sister. I am just an intermediary between them.

Thanks future and A hope for your encouraging words. Its really encouraging

I am deeply happy for all the people who have taken their time to read and comment on my post, I see the time and talent they have used as a sacrifice because tight schedule may not permit this. You will not be left alone in life in Jesus name. Notwithstanding, I have this to say: I value Biblical restitution the same way I value salvation, santification, Holy-Ghost baptism and the likes. I have heard about people who having realised their sins in results/certificates matters restituted it though I didn't know the nature and contents of their certificates' sins. Some of them, they returned the certificates while some didn't. I heard about others who were pardoned and still in poccession of the certificats. So, my concern and question is this: is it in God's manner to accept restitution the way I had done it as touching my educational life even if the exam body involved - NECO would not reply/pardon or would like to pardon? This is a question that must be answered with eternity/paradise in view. I am still alive now, something can still be done because after death judgement. And I think it is petinent to settle correctly restitution on earth here than to face it in eternity where it will be too late. I still further count on and value your contributions as they will be highly appreciated. Thanks again.

Desi2007 I really thank you very much for your contribution, may God bless you too. Sincerely speaking, I have forgiven myself long ago contrary to what you said but I believe in restitution and it seems I don't know how I should apply it to my case. I think you believe in Biblical restitution or I should list the Bible verses that discuss it?

By the grace of God, I have given my life to Christ since year 2009 because God opened my eyes to see the hatred He has for sin and love He has for sinners. But in my own case I can say that I have not been enjoying perfect peace and joy that are in Christ Jesus and my problem is associated with restitution as seen and commanded in the word of God. This is the whole matter summarily: I repented of my sin and prayed for forgiveness when I was in the university. After this, I remembered many of the sins I had committed in the past and started to do restitutions as the Spirit of God was speaking to my spirit. After this, I had peace in my mind and spirit and I continued in faith. However, there was a particular restitution which I did when I was still in the university. The restitution is this: I discovered shortcomings and sin in the results I used for admission into the university. That is to say, I passed the exams with one form of cheating or the other and violation of rules and order, the results of which I used for university admission. So when I discovered this terrible thing, I was sorry and sorrowful because I cheated and had used the results for the completion of my polytechnic education and university admission. Upon realising this, I went to discuss it with some believers and I was advised. After this, I wrote and posted a letter of restitution to NECO - the council that organised the exam begging for forgiveness and pardon. I then continued in faith praying for God's mercy and favour. After I had sent the letter, I had peace and also was fearful of what might be the outcome. Since year 2009 that I had sent the letter, I did not receive any response from NECO and I eventually graduated from university in 2011. Because of no response from NECO, I later sent another letter of restitution through email to the council (about two years after) together with the one sent in 2009. Most times, one spirit would tell me that the restitution I did was not adequate and appropriate, another spirit would say I am forgiven and that I can continue. I have been believing the second spirit which says I am forgiven and that God has accepted my restitution and what I discovered was that God has been granting my heart's desires by giving to me what I asked from Him. But all the same, this first spirit ceases not from telling me that the restitution I did was not okay. That I must re-enroll for another exam and seek again admission into university. Sometimes I used to dream in my sleep that I was in the secondary school class and behold I am 33years plus now. I knew this type of dream has spiritual meaning. It means backwardness and not-moving forward. Finally, could it be true that God has not accepted my restitution to NECO? Could it be that I must go back and start processing for another exam result and university admission? Is it that I am the one who is not having perfect knowledge of biblical restitution? People overthere who are reading this, sincerely I am confused and disturbed. I find myself in a problem of 'I don't know what to do'. Please, come to my rescue and advise me scripturally, prayerfully and sincerely. Please be simple and straightforward in your advice. This problem has been standing as a mountain before me over the years. Please I just want to hear the truth from you on this matter, don't pity, deceive or sweet-talk me. I thank you in anticipation for your valuable Godly advice

I thank all of you who have responded to me in time of this trouble. May God be with you all in Jesus name. I am sorry that it takes me this long time to respond back.

Before you judge whether to watch a movies or not as a christian expecting Christ's soon return , ask these three question: 1. Does it glorify God? 2.Does it have a good lesson to teach you? 3. Who are the sets of people that are acting this type of movies? Asking and answering sincerely these questions, you will discover that horror movies has nothing good to offer, it can only mar and destroy. Apart from this, ask yourself, how many good christian movies have you watched before you will now come to conclusion to watch horror movies? A reasonable person would not want to be feeding on good food and dust and still expect to be alright. Watch what you watch!

Nebula asthe name sounds, thanks a lot for that quick response and the time u have taken to write that. God bless you.

The topic above is surely above marriage, what can a christian borther of age 33years plus do if after he had prayed for will of God for future partner and answer seemed not to come forth and most times temptations often come to the point that he fell to the sin of masturbation and watching porn films and would not like to continue rising and falling as a result of sexual temptation?
