For Your Good II
‘But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband’ 1 Cor.7:2[NIV]
Songs of Solomon is a very graphic book when it comes to sexual relationships between a man and a woman. You cannot be holier than God. God says something is holy then it is holy. God says sex in marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled. Then it is honorable. So why do you feel guilty anytime you make love with your spouse? Something is wrong somewhere. There was a lady that we had to do some form of deliverance for because every time she is with her Read the rest of this entry
Physical, Spiritual, and Emotional Oneness
‘The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality –the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband’ 1 Cor.7:3 [MSG]
Sex is a physical, spiritual, and emotional oneness. Sex transcends the physical. Meaning, sex is not just physical. When you have sex with someone, you are not just physically vulnerable to the person; you also carry every disease the person has. Therefore, you are also spiritually and emotionally vulnerable. So if the person is carrying a baggage of curses, when you have sex with him/her what happens is you get it too. When the person is carrying legions of demons when Read the rest of this entry
Leave Eros Alone I
‘Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, not to awaken love until the time is right’ Sng.8:4.
If you are single, leave Eros alone until marriage. ‘I plead with you, I beseech you o women of Jerusalem not to awaken love until the time is right’ [Please also read Songs of Solomon 2:7, 3:5, 8:4]. And this is so important for those of us that are single. Don’t awaken this thing called Eros until the time is right. You will mess up too many things in your life. Let the sleeping dog lie. Don’t awaken it until the time is right. Why such a strong plea not to awaken love ahead of Read the rest of this entry
In Marriage
‘The husband should fulfill his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband’s needs. The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife’ 1 Cor.7:3-4
For you to have a fulfilled marriage you must experience Philia, Agape, and Eros. If you are married and all you have been experiencing is Philia and Agape then you cannot have a fulfilled married life really. Singles are even better positioned because they don’t need to be worried about Eros. One mistake a lot of married people make is compartmentalizing sex and viewing it as separate from love. In marriage, sex is love. I hope this doesn’t sound Read the rest of this entry
Get Busy!
‘Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground’ Gen.1:28
God said to Adam and Eve ‘be fruitful and multiply’. In other words, get busy! How can you be fruitful? Get busy! Sadly Adam and Eve did not act on that instruction on time. I am sure you are wondering how I know. Well, they did not get busy until Genesis chapter four. Perhaps if they had acted immediately instead of hanging around the tree talking to the serpent, a whole lot of things would have been different today – just perhaps. The key thing is get busy. I say to people Read the rest of this entry
A Plan
‘You’re the one I was looking for! I came out to find you, and here you are!’ Prov.7:15
If a man is deceived it is largely based on seduction. When he has been seduced then he can be deceived. The problem with flirting and seduction is that it always starts innocently. Some men actually tell their wives that they have nothing to do with other women but they just like flirting with them. You have to stop it. Flirting 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
Conceive And Birth It!
‘Thou shall make thy prayer unto him, and shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways’ Job 22:27-28
‘Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children’ Eph.5:1. One aspect of imitating God is in speaking forth things – call it forth. The Bible says about God that He ‘…calleth those things which be not as though they were’. You might not be who God wants you to be right now but if you stay with Him long enough, you definitely will be. Why? It is because He will transform you from the inside Read the rest of this entry
