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
The Key Of Acceptance I
‘“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 second key to having a great relationship whether married or single is the key of acceptance. Adam had never seen a woman before. Eve was the first woman he set his eyes on, yet Adam saw Eve and he said ‘at last – bone of my bone’. Meaning Adam accepted Eve totally. For some people, God has brought them Eve but their heart is sent on sampling other options. We have to learn to accept the people that God has put in our lives. Read the rest of this entry
The Key Of Being
‘He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him’ Gen.2:20
Over the next few days we will be discussing three keys to having a great relationship. The first key to having a great relationship whether married or single is the key of being. Adam was not busy going from one singles event to another trying to look good and not even listening to the speaker. Many singles these days are what I call paranoid. They go from one place to the other just trying to make themselves available. And if the women Read the rest of this entry
Check Your Readiness II
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her’ Eph.4:25.
Men let’s check your readiness. God forbid, but let’s say you find yourself in a situation where you are asked to pick who dies between you and your wife. God expects you to step forward and take the bullet. That is what is in the Bible – that is the kind of love that Jesus is talking about, the love that can sacrifice himself. In other words, a selfish man is not ready to get married. Selfishness and marriage do not go together. If you are a 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
Adam And Eve
‘“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female’ Matt.19:4
‘God made them male and female’. God did not create Adam and Steve. God did not make Adeline and Eve. It is a misnomer to see two men in a relationship. It is a misnomer to see a woman doting over another woman. Something is wrong with that. These are cases for deliverance, pure and simple. Identifying that there is a problem is the first step to deliverance. But people who insist on rationalizing their problems can never be 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
