The Diary Game //20-04-24// Went for a Leadership Retreat at Ile-Ife
This Saturday was one where I had a lot of time on my hands. So when I got an invite to a Leadership Retreat at the Spokesman Sanctuary Of Hope Church Ile-Ife, I hopped on it.
my breakfast
This is not the first time my colleague would be inviting me, so I decided why not?
After doing the necessary clean ups I had to do around the house, I had my breakfast and left the house by 9:05 am to the bus stop waiting for the car that will take us to the venue.
On the Way
Having been in a remote part of in my service year, going to the town was amazing. I was able to ask around on how to fix my laptop since I could find where I live.
The Retreat started on Friday, then ending on Saturday. Since it's Saturday, it was open to o everyone, both young and old. You'd see a children sitting in the hall.
Morning Session
They did a recap of the Friday Activities, then moved to the morning session which consist of Marriage Counseling. They wanted to start this session in the morning because to address the youths in the church.
Topic: Making the right choice
The speaker spoke about a lot of wrong things happening in marriages today. Some relationships have no definite definition, heading to no where. It's good to know if it's a fling you are having, one that has an expiring date or the one you know will end in marriage. He listed questions that must be answered before you consider marriage or getting into a relationship that leads to one. They are 👇
- What is the purpose of being in the relationship. What's the end result.
- Is it proper to formally enter a relationship when you don't have marriage as an end plan?
- When should I consider getting into a serious relationship that would lead to marriage.
- What steps to take when ready for a relationship?
- Do you know each other genotypes and the implication going ahead with the wrong one can cause?
- Do you understand the significance of running an HIV/AIDS tests?
- Who are the authority figures in your life and how much influence do they have on you?
During a 10 minutes break, we went on a sight seeing around the environment and found something to eat.

Afternoon Session
The next session was a discussion session where we discussed on how to have a better relation with people and God.
How is the relationships we have with people?
How do we practically demonstrate our love for God with one another?
- By obeying his commandments
- By showing love to our fellow human beings. Kindness is a currency
- By giving to God
- By sacrificing
- By serving
- By interceding for others in the church
No matter how small, always be part of the church. Help the church grow and God will make a way for you too when you don't expect it.
After prayers, I had to by 4 pm because I had some things to do at home so I could stay until the end.
