SUBMISSION: YOUR SCEPTER FOR REIGNING AS QUEEN IN YOUR HOME (PT. 2)
IN YESTERDAY’S DEVOTIONAL PIECE, we noted that the dethronement of Vashti the Queen was avoidable. It wasn’t something either she or her husband desired. Yet it happened. Even though human beings lay the blame for virtually all negative occurrences at the devil’s doorsteps, this certainly isn’t one of them. Neither could it be blamed on […]
SUBMISSION: YOUR SCEPTER FOR REIGNING AS QUEEN IN YOUR HOME
JUST THIS MORNING, I READ ONCE AGAIN THE SAD ACCOUNT of the avoidable dethronement of Vashti the Queen(Esther chapter 1). It wasn’t desired by her husband, King Ahasuerus. Neither did Queen Vashti wish for it. It happened because Vashti would not submit to the SIMPLE COMMAND of her husband to come and DISPLAY HER BEAUTY! […]
SORROW NOT FOR GOD HAS YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART
MANY TIMES WHEN WE READ accounts of the painful experiences of people in the Bible, we just run through their stories without much thought about how they must have felt and the tears they might have shed. Our anchor scripture passage presents the story of a man that was born blind. Have you ever considered […]
SEASONS OF COMPULSORY ABSTINENCE
EVEN THOUGH IT’S TRUE THAT SPOUSES are entitled to full romantic and sexual satisfaction in Marriage, the fact also remains that there are times when it’s not possible for you to enjoy those rights. And this is not new. In Bible times, married men like David, Joab, and indeed the entire army of Israel would […]
BRIDGING THE DESIRE GAP BETWEEN SPOUSES IN MARRIAGE
IT’S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT IN LOVE AND MARRIAGE, opposites attract. This means that persons of opposite personalities or physique are drawn to each other. At the beginning of their relationship, the differences are not really visible as they’re so much engrossed in love and admiration of each other and selfishness is at its lowest. Each […]
UNHEALTHY PRETENCE IN MARRIAGE
GOD INSTITUTED MARRIAGE, WE DIDN’T. We are only beneficiaries. God isn’t just the Originator of Marriage, He’s also the Creator of the bodies of Spouses by which they’re One Flesh. When you are hungry, the solution is not to listen to a Sermon on Holiness or Handel’s Messiah. Neither is the solution in picking up […]
MUTUAL RESPECT, SUBMISSION AND INTERDEPENDENCE IN MARRIAGE
MARRIAGE IS LIKE THE HUMAN BODY. In Marriage, the Husband is the HEAD while the Wife is the BODY. Understanding how the HEAD and the BODY relate will aid you in living harmoniously with your Spouse. The HEAD and the BODY have been designed by God to live closely together AND TO DEPEND ON ONE […]
YOUR ROMANTIC IDENTITIES IN MARRIAGE
AS MARRIED MEN AND WOMEN, EACH OF US HAS IDENTITIES by which we function in the respective places of our diverse callings and duties in life. For instance, in the home, husband and wife are Spouses, Parents and Householders. At the work place, you’re identified by the name of your profession, business or vocation. In […]
BE CONTENTED WITH YOUR GOD-GIVEN WIFE, ‘COS SHE’S GOT ALL YOU NEED IN A WOMAN!
SOON AFTER I LEFT SECONDARY SCHOOL, I found myself in a place where married men celebrated infidelity. It was an enclave of Adultery. Married men had a field day committing adultery because they were far from home. One evening, I saw a former Secondary School Principal bring a woman. Another evening, I saw the mother […]
ARE YOU CHEATING ON YOUR SPOUSE? (PT. 2)
ON BEING CAUGHT RED-HANDED IN THE ACT OF ADULTERY, the woman in our anchor scripture for yesterday knew that a horrifying death awaited her. But Christ’s intervention saved her life. But how was her life from that time forward? Obviously, it couldn’t be what it used to be. In our present world that overflows with […]
