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
Read The Bible!
‘And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ’ Eph.5:21
How many of us would agree with this statement, ‘the man is not the head of the woman!’ Not many men would agree, in fact some men get really upset when you bring up topics like this. Yet the truth is that the man is not the head of the woman. It is in the Bible [Eph.5:22]. Yes, the husband is the head of his wife but every man is not the head of every woman. Haven’t you noticed that you are not the head of my wife? Read the rest of this entry
Agape Love
‘Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged’ 1 Cor.13:4-5.
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. How is your love walk? Agape is God’s Love. Embodied in Jesus is the perfect example of God’s love. This is the strongest kind of love and is the pillar on which every other kind of love should lean on. In other words, every other kind of love finds it’s existence and essence in the agape love. Agape love is the love that lasts forever. ‘And I am Read the rest of this entry
Eros Love
‘For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh’ Eph. 5:31.
Eros love from which the word erotic derives it’s origin is love between a husband and his wife. It is sexual love designed by God for the institution of marriage. The world has tried to pollute and corrupt this kind of love by promoting it as cheap emotions responded to only on instinct. The truth is that God designed it as a fulfilling kind of intimacy reserved solely for married couples. If you are currently sleeping with someone who is not your husband or someone who is another person’s husband, what you are doing is not the eros kind Read the rest of this entry
