Deliberate Leading
“You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.” Gen.3:4-5.
Everyone that will fulfill his or her destiny in God and the greatness that God has for him/her must overcome the spirit of seduction. Please note that today’s devotional has an 18PG rating. The dictionary defines seduction as the process of deliberately enticing a person in order to lead him/her astray sexually. Seduction is a process and the process of seduction starts with flirting. Flirting is any act that stimulates or is intended to Read the rest of this entry
The Key Of Communication II
‘But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden- except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, your are sure to die’ Gen.2:16-17
My mum is a teacher and she used to tell us that the teacher has not taught if the student has not understood. As a leader you have not communicated if the person you are talking to has not understood. When giving my colleagues an instruction, a lot of the time I watch them. When I think they do not understand what I am saying, I ask them to repeat it to me. Sometimes they tell me very strange things. With my colleagues that are Read the rest of this entry
The Key Of Communication I
‘It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat or even touch it; if you do, you will die’ Gen.3:3
The third key to having a great relationship whether married or single is the key of communication. All these keys are from Adam and Eve’s relationship. Adam failed on two grounds. Firstly, Adam failed to communicate accurately with Eve. And that is almost always a problem in our homes. The way men communicate is different from the way women communicate. A man will just summarize and give you bullet points and go on with his Read the rest of this entry
The Key Of Acceptance II
‘“At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man’ Gen.2:23.
The grass is not greener on the other side; the grass is greener where it is watered. So water your own grass and it would be green. A lady I really used to respect sat before me with her husband and I was really put off by the way she was talking to her husband. In my heart I wondered why she would ever talk to her husband like that. As if that was not bad enough, right there in the presence of her husband she said, ‘if only my husband can Read the rest of this entry
The Key Of Acceptance I
‘“At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man’ Gen.2:23
The second key to having a great relationship whether married or single is the key of acceptance. Adam had never seen a woman before. Eve was the first woman he set his eyes on, yet Adam saw Eve and he said ‘at last – bone of my bone’. Meaning Adam accepted Eve totally. For some people, God has brought them Eve but their heart is sent on sampling other options. We have to learn to accept the people that God has put in our lives. Read the rest of this entry
The Key Of Being
‘He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him’ Gen.2:20
Over the next few days we will be discussing three keys to having a great relationship. The first key to having a great relationship whether married or single is the key of being. Adam was not busy going from one singles event to another trying to look good and not even listening to the speaker. Many singles these days are what I call paranoid. They go from one place to the other just trying to make themselves available. And if the women Read the rest of this entry
Check Your Readiness II
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her’ Eph.4:25.
Men let’s check your readiness. God forbid, but let’s say you find yourself in a situation where you are asked to pick who dies between you and your wife. God expects you to step forward and take the bullet. That is what is in the Bible – that is the kind of love that Jesus is talking about, the love that can sacrifice himself. In other words, a selfish man is not ready to get married. Selfishness and marriage do not go together. If you are a Read the rest of this entry
Check Your Readiness I
‘For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. [Absolute and total submission – my addition]. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.’ Eph.5:22 &24
Ladies let’s check your readiness. ‘For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. [Absolute and total submission – my addition] For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of His body, the church. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.’ Eph.5:22-24. So again I ask, are you ready for that kind of submission? A lady was Read the rest of this entry
Stay There!
‘And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery – unless his wife has been unfaithful’ Matt.19:9.
You know what they did back in the day? If they marry a wife and discover that the woman has a bad odor, they will divorce her. Just like that! Jesus says, ‘I am changing all that – stay there!’ [translated]. Perhaps both of you have what has been termed ‘irreconcilable differences’ and have both decided to go in different directions. Jesus says, ‘there is nothing like that – stay there!’ Some men say their wife is rude and disrespectful. Jesus Read the rest of this entry
Are You Ready?
‘And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together”’ Matt.19:5-6.
We are praying that every single male/female in God’s Favourite House and every single male/female reading this devotional today that desires to get married, will get married in the Name of Jesus. It is our prayer, we are seeing it happen and we will see it happen. By God’s grace a time will come when we will be conducting twenty weddings at once. But you need to be ready for marriage. I have had the privilege of serving sorrowful single Read the rest of this entry
