Honor Her
‘So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband’ Eph.5:33.
A lot of people find themselves in abusive relationships. Even some Christian marriages today are under the yoke of abuse and God will break the back of it today in Jesus Name. Godly women who are being severely beaten up by their husbands are wondering if they should stay in the abusive relationship. If you are a woman in such a marriage relationship reading this, let me on behalf of all the men say we are very sorry. We apologize and by the help of the Holy Spirit, we won’t do that again!

You Will Receive
‘So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him’ Luke 11:13
Are you one of those who haven’t received the baptism of the Holy Spirit despite attending several sessions? The first thing you need to know is that there is nothing necessarily wrong with you, just be sure that there is no un-confessed sin in your life. Some people say a Christian should not bother about confessed sins yet this is one of the things that can hinder what God wants to release into you. Be sure that there is no mental block. For some their mental block is as a result of bad experiences, wrong doctrine, or they have been Read the rest of this entry
No Other Name
‘There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved’ Acts 4:12
‘Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me’ John 14:6. So what about other religions, some of them are really good people, what will happen to them? God loves every Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist; God loves every single person He has created. I don’t even think God loves Christians better, so to speak, on the foundational basis of God’s love. A lot of these people are actually good people who do good things. You know Steve Jobs of Apple Computers as a child used to walk Read the rest of this entry
Primary Responsibility
‘Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life’ Prov.31:10-12
Cultures vary from place to place but God has clearly defined the role of the man and the woman within the marriage relationship. Depending on the season in a marriage, responsibilities within the home can be shuffled around. So you are a young couple and your wife has just landed a job that pays her a salary that is four times your combined salaries. And you want to know if it’s acceptable to be a stay at home dad to allow her focus and maintain stability within the home. It’s definitely something to think about but you need to Read the rest of this entry
To Correct And Teach
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right’ 2 Tim.3:16
Today we will continue our discourse on relationships so as to learn what is wrong in our lives and let God’s Word teach us and equip us for good works even amidst our relationships. There are quite a number of Christians who are engaged, not married yet but have begun to sleep with their intended spouses. Some are just doing it, not ignorantly but because it seems everyone is doing it. Again it is important to know that not everyone is doing it, just those who are vocal about it and so it seems like it has become acceptable. Do not Read the rest of this entry
Secret Saving
‘So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband’ Eph.5:33.
Every Christian home should have a sense of security and it is the responsibility of the husband to provide that security. So, it does not come as a shock to me when a woman asks if it is acceptable to have a secret saving account. Some even want to know if they are really required to tell their husbands their exact wage. The reason why this question pops up varies from one woman to the next but the underlining emotion that drives it is security. With one woman, as soon as she got married, her mum began to pump her with the Read the rest of this entry
No One Gets Hurt?
‘Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives’ Gal.5:24-25.
Sadly, the notion that no one gets hurt has set people going off on various tangents and most times it is away from God. A lot of people today, even teenagers, want to know what is wrong with masturbation after all no one gets hurt. I have done extensive research on this subject and I will share those findings with you. Interestingly God has been silent on this particular subject. One school of thought says there is nothing on this subject in the Bible. Another school of thought points to Galatians 5:19-21 particularly the Read the rest of this entry
What Will Jesus Do?
‘For I hate divorce!” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty, ” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife’ Mal.2:16.
It will surprise you that one question I get consistently is under what condition can I divorce my spouse? I don’t just get this question from men; even women want to know if they can divorce their husbands. And when I get this question, I just ask myself what will Jesus do? ‘Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?’ Matt.19:3. So today I am presenting you with the same answer that Jesus gave. ‘Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus Read the rest of this entry
His Temple
‘Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body’ 1 Cor.6:19-20
Quite a number of ladies are faced with intense pressure when it comes to getting married. Many Christian ladies are confronted with the demand to get pregnant before marriage because their in-laws want to ascertain if they can have children or not. I’ll say it is simple, just tell them that you are a Christian and that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and refuse to do it. It may sound funny but that’s the Word of God; going along with that plan means walking contrary to the path that God has laid down for you. Sadly, Read the rest of this entry
God’s Truth II
‘So, God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them’ Gen.1:27
You need to understand the truth in the Word of God. The Word of God will set you and your children to the third and fourth generation free! You do not even need to be a theologian; you can discern these things just by studying the anatomy of the human body. God’s plan from the beginning and till date is a male and female pair. I once got into a conversation with a family friend of ours who is a very intelligent medical doctor. I cannot remember how we got to the topic of homosexuals but her opinion was that Read the rest of this entry
