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
God’s Truth I
‘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. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work’ 2 Tim.3:16-17.
We can never thank God enough for the gift of His Word. God inspires all scripture and it’s useful to teach us what is true. To make us realize what is wrong with our lives so that we can make corrections. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. You can rely on God’s Word for clarification on any and every subject. Today we will be treating a question that is bothering a lot of people in today’s world. Are people born homosexuals? There is a current trend in the world today that some people are born Read the rest of this entry
Blameless Word
‘Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse… if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes…’ Mal.3:10-11.
A lot of believers have questions about tithing. Some say they always bring an offering to God but do not tithe so they want to know if God will kill them. I would say no, God won’t kill you but devourers just might because they will face your finances. The only answer to avoiding devourers is to tithe, nothing more nothing less. The Word of God is clear on this. God says ‘should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! But you ask, what do you mean? When did we ever cheat you? You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings Read the rest of this entry
Upright Word
‘Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body’ 1Cor.6:18
I have encountered a couple of people who are faced with the temptation of sexual sin. Quite a number of men today are being seduced by their best friend’s wife and vice versa. Some initially start out trying to resist the temptation but as time passes, they realize that resisting sexual sin is tougher than most people think. What should you do? Three simple words answer this question – RUN, RUN, RUN! When it comes to the devil, the Bible says submit to God, then resist the devil and he will flee from you. But when it comes to Read the rest of this entry
