As Yourself
‘In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself’ Eph.5:28.
There is a French adage that says, “he who loves well, punishes well” [translated]. This was the mindset and pride of the medieval man. They believed that loving their wives meant punishing and disciplining her. And they even try to quote scripture, ‘the child that God accepts, God chastises’. She is your wife – not your child. You will never see in the Bible ‘husbands discipline your wives’. The mentality of the abuser, they think they have to take personal Read the rest of this entry
Your Responsibility
‘The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged’ Ps.69:32
I feel a need to stress this point again because a lot of people have abandoned their destinies for greener pasture. Yes, the grass sometimes appears greener on the other side. When you stand at a distance, the grass can look greener on the other side. But the reality is that when you get closer to that grass you will find that it is not greener. The grass is only greener where it is watered. So water Read the rest of this entry
Consistently Choose
‘Three things will last forever – faith, hope, and love – and the greatest of these is love’ 1 Cor.13:13
Love and sex are marathons. They are not sprints -they are marathons. Some people have a level they want to get to in their sexuality with their spouse and they want to achieve it on day one. That is not the way to go about it because you will hurt yourself and you will hurt your relationship. Sometimes, some things take time. You grow in loving your wife. As a man I had to learn, and you Read the rest of this entry
Leave Eros Alone II
‘Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem, by the gazelles, yes, by all the wild deer: Don’t excite love, don’t stir it up, until the time is ripe—and you’re ready’ Sng.3:5.
Love is as strong as death. Love intoxicates and anything that intoxicates seeks to control. Love makes you do weird and crazy things so if you awaken it before time you would be in serious trouble. Is it love to wash the undergarments of a woman? If she is your wife yes, there is nothing wrong with it. Sadly, some of us cannot love our wives that freely and that is not right. I can proudly say that I have washed the undergarments of only one woman and she is my wife. I am not 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
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
Fresh Start II
‘Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives’ Ps.90: 14.
As the day breaks for some of us, our fresh start would be the next level of entrepreneurship. But it is important for you to know that it does not get easier when you run your own business. I encounter a lot of people who are tired of working under someone and want to start their own business. If that is your only motivation, then you might just be looking for another job very quickly. You need to Read the rest of this entry
Fresh Start I
The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lam.3:22-23
The first thing you need to know as the day breaks, is that you get a new and a fresh start. You get a new and a fresh start. Every morning, as this season affords us, gives us the prospect of fresh opportunities of God’s mercy. Some of us actually believe that we have exhausted God’s faithfulness. Guess what you have not. He is going to show you another dimension of faithfulness today and you will Read the rest of this entry
Just A Smile
‘Good-tempered leaders invigorate lives; they’re like spring rain and sunshine’ Prov.16:15 [MSG]
Another invaluable thing we can give this season is a smile. You can give a smile to your neighbor. Try it out and see how much warmth it brings to your relationship. Some of us see our neighbors while driving out of our houses but we just keep a straight face. It does not cost you anything to give them a smile. They say it is more difficult to frown than to smile because the face uses a lot more muscles to frown than to smile. God wants us to be radiant. You cannot frown and be radiant at the same time. The gospel is the Good Read the rest of this entry
Lend Your Arms
‘And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them…’ Acts 20:1 [KJV]
Another way to give this season without spending any money is to give a hug to the lonely. For some people the hug they receive from you this season is the only hug they have received this month and for some it is the only hug they have received this year. What will it cost you to give someone a hug – absolutely nothing? God is counting on you to lend your arms and bring His warmth to the lonely heart this season. ‘And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you Read the rest of this entry
