HAS YOUR MARRIAGE LOST IT’S TRADEMARK QUALITIES?
IF YOU’RE VISITING A HOME WHERE THERE’S A NEW BORN BABY, as you walk into the sitting room, the fragrance of baby powders, soaps and hair oils are first to greet you. Thereafter, the piercing and persistent cries of the infant soon confirm it’s presence. When you visit the hospital, the harsh smells of disinfectants […]
TRUTHFULNESS AND TRANSPARENCY IN MARRIAGE
WE HAD HOLIDAYED IN THE VILLAGE ONCE AGAIN after so long. This time, I and my younger brother got to know the secrets about Masquerades and “the spirits of the Ancestors”. The bigger village boys had allowed us to join themwhere they hid to make all theeerie sounds that made women, girls and children cringe […]
DEALING WITH CHARACTER DEFICIENCIES IN MARRIAGE (PT. 2)
PEOPLE COME INTO MARRIAGE WITH DIFFERENT character flaws; some so small and negligible and others so horrible and most unexpected. Never be dismayed by yours or those of your Spouse; because they’re not beyond divine remedy. I remember a law enforcement officer who was caught in the market in the 1960s for stealing an expensive […]
DEALING WITH CHARACTER DEFICIENCIES IN MARRIAGE
SOME TIME AGO, THERE WAS A WEDDING during which the Bride and her new Mother-in-law had an altercation. Sadly, it was about something so simple: FOOD. The Bride had some of the festive food set aside for her parents during the reception party. However, because more guests had arrived, the Mother-in-law approached her and requested […]
DEAR SPOUSES, BUILD UP ONE ANOTHER!
IN MARRIAGE, YOU INTERACT WITH YOUR SPOUSE on any given day by words more than by hugs, kisses, embraces and sexual intimacy combined. Therefore, the happiness, peace and tranquility in your marriage is greatly determined by the kind of words you speak to each other. Marriage apart, God did not give us mouths to speak […]
THE CRUCIALITY OF PROPER FEEDING IN MARRIAGE
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT GUARANTEE peace of mind and cordiality between Spouses is the absence of the lack of basic necessities, the first of which is FOOD. Ever before God instituted Marriage, He first set up A HOME for the couple. And one of the first things He made available for the coming Spouses […]
DEATH PENALTY FOR ADULTERY!!!
SOME YEARS AGO, WHILE ON THE INTERNET, I STUMBLED ON A VIDEO of an American television game show titled “The Moment of Truth”. It’s a show in which the main Guest is hooked to a Lie Detector device and asked questions to win as much as half a million dollars, if they would truthfully […]
THE CHRISTIAN HOUSEWIFE AND HER HUSBAND (PT. 2)
IN YESTERDAY’S DEVOTIONAL PIECE, we saw that the Christian housewife is in her husband’s life as a person of great power and influence to motivate, prompt, affect and arouse him to serve God much more than he would ordinarily; just like Jezebel negatively impacted King Ahab to serve the devil to the extreme. Today, we […]
THE CHRISTIAN HOUSEWIFE AND HER HUSBAND
I ONCE VISITED A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE who had newly built an imposing and monumental mansion in one of the choice quarters of the city. In answer to my surprised look, he said it was his wife: she was the brain behind that conspicuous edifice. Left to him, he confessed, he would have built […]
CELEBRATING YOUR DIFFERENCES AND PECULIARITIES IN MARRIAGE
GOD IS A CREATOR WHO TAKES PLEASURE IN DIVERSITY AND VARIETY. For instance, when He spoke the Earth’s vegetation into existence in Genesis 1: 11-12 , He could have made miles upon miles of carpet grass with no trees and shrubs any where in sight. But you don’t need anyone to tell you that such […]
