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
Eagle-eyed I
‘Try to live in peace with everyone. And try to keep your lives free from sin. Anyone whose life is not holy will never see the Lord’ Heb.12:14[ERV]
‘Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord’ Heb.12:14 [KJV]. What does it really mean to see God? It is three fold – in eternity, in communion with God, and in perspectives.
#1: In eternity: Jesus is saying that it is the pure in heart that will access heaven in eternity. ‘Blessed are those Read the rest of this entry
Offering Compassion
‘There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others but if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you’ James 2:13.
Unfortunately, some people think that the mercy of God is a license for sin. The truth is when you truly experience the mercy of God you would not want to touch sin again. God said to Moses, ‘if you are to describe me then say I am the Lord compassionate, merciful, slow to anger, plenteous in mercy, I will not always chide neither will I keep my anger for ever’. God wants to be known as merciful. The problem with us is if God that has every right to judge Read the rest of this entry
Your Inheritance!
‘Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance’ Heb.6:12.
The Bible says ‘blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth’. There is a land before you that you are not being patient about it. Guess what? There are other people that are willing to be patient with that land. And guess who will inherit the land? Blessed are the meek [the patient] for they will inherit the land. It is the doers of the Word that enjoy the blessings that are attached. A lot of married couples are not willing to be patient with their Read the rest of this entry
Be Submissive
‘And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord’ Eph.5:21-22
To be meek is to be submissive. Blessed are the submissive. The truth is that it is not only wives that are meant to be submissive to their husbands. Husbands are also supposed to be submissive to their wives. Now some men don’t like to hear this truth but God’s Word states ‘And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ’ Eph.5:21. God is actually saying to the husband and wife ‘submit one to another’, before He says wives submit to Read the rest of this entry
Love And Obedience
‘And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?’ Matt. 16:26.
Knowing God is learning and understanding the things that He approves of and the things that don’t please Him. Loving God is moving beyond the afore mentioned into doing the things that please the Father. Jesus says ‘if you love me, obey my commandments’. John 14:15. So when a young lady comes to me and says she has been living with a man for five years and this man has paid her school fees. The first question is ‘do you really know the Father?’ Read the rest of this entry
Follow The Word!
‘A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach’ 1 Tim.3:2 [KJV]
Some issues can only be addressed based on the Word of the God and not based on the doctrines of men. ‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness’ 2 Tim.3:16 [KJV]. The Word of God says, ‘that male and female created He them’ – one man one wife. God did not create three wives for Adam. ‘For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined Read the rest of this entry
Better And Better
‘The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day’ Prov. 4:18
If you are striving to keep your marriage in the honeymoon stage then that is a red flag. Does this mean you do not expect better than your honeymoon? Someone that remains or insists on remaining in the honeymoon stage of his or her marriage will never grow. When you first give your life to Jesus you experience a honeymoon stage where even before you close your eyes your prayers have already Read the rest of this entry
