12 SECRETS TO HAVING A STRONG RELATIONSHIP

If you desire a loving and lasting relationship with your partner, you and your partner need to adopt the following habits below:

1. COMMITMENT:

Commitment is very important if you desire to have a strong relationship with your partner. You have to decide to stick with your partner and make the relationship work irrespective of the flaws your partner might have. Couples who renew their commitments everyday, in words and deed, are on their way to having a strong relationship.

2. KEEP YOUR PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE

When you put your relationship on social media, you invite the public to your relationship. Keep your private matters private. It’s a relationship between you and your partner and not between you, your partner and the public. You can share your fun dates with your partner or some nice photos together on your Facebook or Instagram app but make sure you draw the line where necessary.

3. KNOW WHEN TO LET THINGS SLIDE AND LEARN HOW TO MANAGE CONFLICTS

Finding ways to reduce the frequency of conflict in your relationship by letting go of the little things will help you build a strong relationship with your partner. Arguments are normal in a relationship but you should make sure you never insult your partner during an argument. Always listen to what your partner has to say during an argument.

4. LEARN TO LISTEN

Speaking less and listening more is important if you want to build a strong relationship with your partner. It’s important you always pay close attention to what your partner has to say. Ask your partner how his/her day went and listen to him/her talk about their day.

5. MAKE TIME TO DATE

Spending quality time with your partner is important if you desire to build a strong relationship. Nothing substitutes for time together. No matter how busy you are, always create time to go out on dates with your partner.

6. BE TOTALLY TRANSPARENT

Partners in strong relationships have no secrets. If you desire to build a strong relationship with your partner, you have to be completely transparent with your partner. You don’t need privacy in your relationship if you want a strong relationship.

7. TRY NEW THINGS TOGETHER

Whether it be something as simple as watching a movie neither of you has seen, or something as extreme as skydiving, trying new things together as a couple is important if you want to have a strong relationship. Trying new things together keeps the excitement and passion going in your relationship.

8. COMPLIMENT YOUR PARTNER

You shouldn’t save the compliments for big events alone, make complimenting your partner a regular occurrence. You make your partner feel special and noticed when you compliment him/her and this helps build a strong relationship

9. NEVER PUT EACH OTHER DOWN IN PUBLIC

How you treat your partner in front of others matter if you desire to build a strong relationship with your partner. Never ever put each other down or say anything negative about your partner in public. Only say supportive and kind things to each other in public and save disagreements for when you both are alone.

10. NEVER GET TIRED OF SAYING “I LOVE YOU”

These three little words “I love you” are important if you want to build a strong relationship with your partner. No matter how long or hard your day was, always end your day by telling your partner how much you love him/her. End your day with the words “I love you”.

11. LEARN HOW TO COMPROMISE

You have to understand the value of compromise if you want to build a strong relationship. You may not always want to do what your partner wants but if it’s important to your partner, do it with a smile on your face.

Lastly.....

12. Pray and Play Together:

Couples that pray and play together stay together. Hand in hand each morning before you face the vicissitude of life, read a devotional and pray together.

Take turns to pray for your marriage, your challenges &your children. If its your turn to pray, lift your spouse's burdens to The Lord and thank God for the wonderful spouse He gave you.

Never miss an opportunity to celebrate life's milestones together. Celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. Make it simple and sweet. Play and laugh together. Be merry with the person you married and watch your love for each other grow from strength to strength.

You will not fail in marriage in Jesus' name.

A mother told her daughter: "God be with you".
Ironically, the daughter replied: "there is no room in the car except in the trunk". On their journey there was an
accident where all the people inside the car died but the trunk remained intact, the egg crates in the truck none were broken.
A dad told his son, "may God protect you", and the son said, "my friends will protect me more than God", while he was returning from work, a stray bullet killed him where the friends looked at him but could not protect him.
A boy went to a church and started urinating on the cross saying "there is no GOD", the next day he lost his arms and confessed the desecration.
A man received this message and deleted it saying what!! "God does not exist", the man suffered for 8 years before he died, another man received this message and shared it to as many people as possible, he was promoted in his job.
GOD opens doors that no one can close through this message. And if you don't need GOD, ignore this message and don't spread it...

Why the Dedication of the Ark Project Needed a Review: A Comparison of the Faith Tabernacle and the Ark Legacy Project of Living Faith Church

by Daniel Breakforth

In the heart of Nigeria’s Ogun State stands a bold testament to faith, architecture and vision: In a portion of Canaanland marked out as 'Shiloh', the 50,000 capacity Faith Tabernacle, once the world’s largest church auditorium by seating capacity sits gracefully. Just a few meters away, rising steadily from the soil of Shiloh, another landmark is taking shape—the Ark Legacy Project.

Both megastructures were conceived and commissioned by Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel International), under the leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo. While each project reflects the church’s spiritual mandate and commitment to large-scale development, they represent 2 distinct eras in the ministry's evolution.

Faith Tabernacle, a Monument of Supernatural Speed was commissioned in 1998. The Tabernacle was constructed following what the church describes as a prophetic mandate borne out of the 10 April 1982 utterance that 'at the base of this Commission , a tent will seat 50,000'. At the time, it was to commence, the Tabernacle was an ambitious undertaking—an auditorium designed to seat 50,400 worshippers under a single, column-free roof, a feature then rare even among commercial and stadium structures. One which timeframe of one year was rejected by all the big time Construction players in the industry, both foreign and local.

Groundbreaking took place on 29 August 1998 while construction began on 18 September 1998 and was miraculously completed in exactly 12 months, with the dedication service held on 18 September, 1999. I still remember the painting of the Tabernacle 7 days to dedication day while the glass panels above the Honour Entrance, the last to be fixed, were completed on the dedication morning.

Notably, the project was funded entirely without debt, relying solely on voluntary offerings and sacrificial giving from church members and church branches around the world. At the time of its completion, it earned a Guinness World Record as the largest church auditorium in the world by capacity. Beyond its architectural feat, the Faith Tabernacle became the anchor of the larger Canaanland vision, which would eventually include Covenant University, residential estates, and various ministry headquarters. This was captured in a 12 year project called the Canaanlsnd Project (CLP).

Fast forward to the Ark: A Transgenerational Vision:
While the Faith Tabernacle marked the fulfillment of an earlier prophetic vision, the Ark—also called the Legacy Project—is the embodiment of a long-term, transgenerational agenda. Envisioned in the mid-2010s with the first mention I recall of such a plan in April 2012 before the full blown announcement at Shiloh 2015, it was officially launched with a groundbreaking on Thursday 25 March 2021, The Ark is projected to seat about 109,000 worshippers, more than double the capacity of the Faith Tabernacle. In the event that all spaces within the Ark is occupied, it could take up to 200,000. This has been explained many times. The structure is designed to span a footprint of about 66,753 square metres, making it one of the most expansive church buildings under construction globally and the largest in the world by size. It will be 3 times the size of St Peters Basilica and more than 2 times Our Lady of Peace Basilica.

Unlike the single-level, single overflow Tabernacle, The Ark will feature multiple floors, including mezzanine levels, basement access and integrated smart infrastructure.

Architecturally, it departs from the simplicity of its predecessor, embracing a modernized, complex form that reflects not just growth in numbers but evolution in scope and functionality. Still, one principle remains unchanged: the Ark is being built without loans or foreign financial assistance.

The project is intentionally labeled a “legacy seed”—a structure meant to outlast its founders, speaking to future generations of the power of vision, commitment and spiritual dedication. The Founder has often emphasized that if Jesus tarries for another 1000 or 2000 years, He will meet the Ark filled with on fire and vibrant worshippers.

Contrasting Structures, Unified Purpose
Although both projects differ in scale, complexity and technological advancement, they are unified by a consistent philosophy: faith in divine instruction, financial integrity and spiritual purpose.

The Faith Tabernacle will forever be remembered as the project that validated the church's capacity for large-scale execution within improbable timelines. It is a symbol of obedience and supernatural accomplishment. In contrast, The Ark is about legacy—ensuring sustainability, scalability and continued relevance for decades or even centuries to come.

Moreover, both structures have cultural and symbolic importance beyond their physical form. They represent African-led innovation in global Christianity, challenging traditional Western-centric models of religious expansion. They also contribute to urban development, educational advancement and spiritual engagement across multiple continents through Winners' Chapel’s global network.

The Faith Tabernacle and the Ark Project are more than architectural marvels. They are physical embodiments of spiritual convictions, raised not merely to house congregations but to serve as landmarks of faith, vision, and transgenerational purpose. As The Ark continues to rise in Canaanland, it builds not just upon concrete and steel—but upon the unshakable foundation laid by the Faith Tabernacle, a foundation of faith, sacrifice and divine fulfillment.

Most projects anywhere close to this have taken between 12 and 15 years in modern times but none even close to the dimensions of the Ark. The nearest for now with 33 elevators, 8 chillers of 300 tons each and in terms of footprints is the KJC KINGDOME with a footprint of 58,400 sqm which took about 12 years as well as the Salvation Ministries Hand of God with 9 floors, 400 toilets in 20 units and a footprint of 56,800 sqm which has taken close to 15 years.

To the glory of God, we look forward to the dedication of this Generational Project with 129 elevators and escalators, 20 chillers of 600 tons each, 1,200 toilets, 12 floors and a footprint of 66,753 sqm at a time most suitable by the grace of God.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

In the event that all spaces within the Ark is occupied, it could take up to 200,000. This has been explained many times. The structure is designed to span a footprint of about 66,753 square metres, making it one of the most expansive church buildings under construction globally and the largest in the world by size. It will be 3 times the size of St Peters Basilica and more than 2 times Our Lady of Peace Basilica.

Unlike the single-level, single overflow Tabernacle, The Ark will feature multiple floors, including mezzanine levels, basement access and integrated smart infrastructure.

Architecturally, it departs from the simplicity of its predecessor, embracing a modernized, complex form that reflects not just growth in numbers but evolution in scope and functionality. Still, one principle remains unchanged: the Ark is being built without loans or foreign financial assistance.

The project is intentionally labeled a “legacy seed”—a structure meant to outlast its founders, speaking to future generations of the power of vision, commitment and spiritual dedication. The Founder has often emphasized that if Jesus tarries for another 1000 or 2000 years, He will meet the Ark filled with on fire and vibrant worshippers.

Contrasting Structures, Unified Purpose
Although both projects differ in scale, complexity and technological advancement, they are unified by a consistent philosophy: faith in divine instruction, financial integrity and spiritual purpose.

The Faith Tabernacle will forever be remembered as the project that validated the church's capacity for large-scale execution within improbable timelines. It is a symbol of obedience and supernatural accomplishment. In contrast, The Ark is about legacy—ensuring sustainability, scalability and continued relevance for decades or even centuries to come.

Moreover, both structures have cultural and symbolic importance beyond their physical form. They represent African-led innovation in global Christianity, challenging traditional Western-centric models of religious expansion. They also contribute to urban development, educational advancement and spiritual engagement across multiple continents through Winners' Chapel’s global network.

The Faith Tabernacle and the Ark Project are more than architectural marvels. They are physical embodiments of spiritual convictions, raised not merely to house congregations but to serve as landmarks of faith, vision, and transgenerational purpose. As The Ark continues to rise in Canaanland, it builds not just upon concrete and steel—but upon the unshakable foundation laid by the Faith Tabernacle, a foundation of faith, sacrifice and divine fulfillment.

Most projects anywhere close to this have taken between 12 and 15 years in modern times but none even close to the dimensions of the Ark. The nearest for now with 33 elevators, 8 chillers of 300 tons each and in terms of footprints is the KJC KINGDOME with a footprint of 58,400 sqm which took about 12 years as well as the Salvation Ministries Hand of God with 9 floors, 400 toilets in 20 units and a footprint of 56,800 sqm which has taken close to 15 years.

To the glory of God, we look forward to the dedication of this Generational Project with 129 elevators and escalators, 20 chillers of 600 tons each, 1,200 toilets, 12 floors and a footprint of 66,753 sqm at a time most suitable by the grace of God.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

Why the Dedication of the Ark Project Needed a Review: A Comparison of the Faith Tabernacle and the Ark Legacy Project of Living Faith Church

by Daniel Breakforth

In the heart of Nigeria’s Ogun State stands a bold testament to faith, architecture and vision: In a portion of Canaanland marked out as 'Shiloh', the 50,000 capacity Faith Tabernacle, once the world’s largest church auditorium by seating capacity sits gracefully. Just a few meters away, rising steadily from the soil of Shiloh, another landmark is taking shape—the Ark Legacy Project.

Both megastructures were conceived and commissioned by Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel International), under the leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo. While each project reflects the church’s spiritual mandate and commitment to large-scale development, they represent 2 distinct eras in the ministry's evolution.

Faith Tabernacle, a Monument of Supernatural Speed was commissioned in 1998. The Tabernacle was constructed following what the church describes as a prophetic mandate borne out of the 10 April 1982 utterance that 'at the base of this Commission , a tent will seat 50,000'. At the time, it was to commence, the Tabernacle was an ambitious undertaking—an auditorium designed to seat 50,400 worshippers under a single, column-free roof, a feature then rare even among commercial and stadium structures. One which timeframe of one year was rejected by all the big time Construction players in the industry, both foreign and local.

Groundbreaking took place on 29 August 1998 while construction began on 18 September 1998 and was miraculously completed in exactly 12 months, with the dedication service held on 18 September, 1999. I still remember the painting of the Tabernacle 7 days to dedication day while the glass panels above the Honour Entrance, the last to be fixed, were completed on the dedication morning.

Notably, the project was funded entirely without debt, relying solely on voluntary offerings and sacrificial giving from church members and church branches around the world. At the time of its completion, it earned a Guinness World Record as the largest church auditorium in the world by capacity. Beyond its architectural feat, the Faith Tabernacle became the anchor of the larger Canaanland vision, which would eventually include Covenant University, residential estates, and various ministry headquarters. This was captured in a 12 year project called the Canaanlsnd Project (CLP).

Fast forward to the Ark: A Transgenerational Vision:
While the Faith Tabernacle marked the fulfillment of an earlier prophetic vision, the Ark—also called the Legacy Project—is the embodiment of a long-term, transgenerational agenda.
