FOR SPOUSES: WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU’RE AT YOUR WIT’S END
OUR SCRIPTURE PASSAGE FOR TODAY PRESENTS the story of a married fisherman by name, Simon, who left his wife and family to catch fish. He came out at the most advantageous time for fishing: the night season. He toiled diligently all night long but caught nothing; not even one of the smallest fishes strayed […]
THE MASTER KEY TO ENJOYING A GLORIOUS MARRIAGE
WHEN GOD WANTED AN ARK BUILT, He gave Noah very clear INSTRUCTIONS on the kind of wood to use, the exact measurements of the length, height and width of the peculiar edifice. Quite strangely, it was to have only one door and one window; and the lone window was to be on the roof! Noah […]
THE DANGEROUS MENACE OF FAKE HUSBANDS AND FAKE WIVES IN FAKE MARRIAGES!
ONE OF THE DUTIES OF THE SERVANT OF GOD is to bear tidings that are obviously not going to make the hearers feel good and shout “Preach on, Sir! I hear you!!” Such is the message of today’s devotional. In 2005, I met a colleague in Ministry who told me how he went to […]
GOD STRONGLY BELIEVES IN MARRIAGE AND SO SHOULD YOU!
GOD DIDN’T JUST INSTITUTE MARRIAGE, He personally loves it and believes in it. And that’s why after the Flood of Noah, when He had the opportunity to scrap, modify or reconstitute it, He didn’t. He instead BLESSED IT AND RE-ESTABLISHED IT; EXACTLY AS HE DID IN THE BEGINNING IN EDEN. We can see this in […]
AS YOU PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS, PLEASE HEAR THIS.
DECEMBER IS A BEAUTIFUL MONTH. And it’s beautiful for many beautiful reasons. It’s the month of thousands of weddings that result in the birth of thousands of brand new marriages, families and homes. It’s a month of holidays as most civil servants prefer to have their annual leave in December. It’s also a month of […]
THE HOUSEWIFE: A LOVER AND A WARRIOR.
WHEN THE EGYPTIAN OPPRESSION OF THE CHILDRENof Israel began, their enemies definitely thought they’d reduce their population in no time. But because the Israelites kept their marriages intact and fully functional, the depletion of their population didn’t only get quickly replenished, their ROBUST LOVE LIVES IN THE FACE OF TYRANNY became a great source of […]
THE PRIMARY PLACE OF SPOUSAL ADDICTION IN MARRIAGE
WHEN I WAS ELEVEN YEARS OLD, my parents were transferred to Lokoja, Nigeria. It was there that I saw an Addict for the first time in my life. Sadly, this Addict was a woman. People called her “OGOGORO WOMAN”. She was addicted to the illicit gin popularly known as OGOGORO. Her addiction was so bad […]
WHEN AS A WIFE, YOU’RE RICHER THAN YOUR HUSBAND, PLEASE BE HUMBLE!
GOD’S COMMANDMENTS TO WIVES to be submissive to their husbands(Eph. 5:23-24; 1 Pet. 3:1-5; Col. 3: 18) are not meant to give the impression that women are weaklings, underlings or that they are “inferiors” in the marriage relationship. Far from it! Neither is the word “HELPER” used to describe her purpose in Genesis 2: 18 […]
SPOUSES: ARISE AND SERVE GOD ON A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION!
OUR FIRST SCRIPTURE PASSAGE PRESENTS THE STORY OF A WEALTHY COUPLE IN SHUNEM, whose name the Bible has chosen to conceal. They were financially and materially blessed. One day, the wife of this unnamed man invited a passerby for a meal in their home. The passerby was Prophet Elisha. He promptly declined her invitation. […]
THE BEDROOM IS MIGHTIER THAN THE CRUELEST TYRANT AND HIS DECREES!
AFTER THE DEATH OF JOSEPH, there arose a new king over Egypt who unleashed a reign of terror on the Israelites. His name? Pharaoh Seti 1. He was the one that began the cruel enslavement of the Israelites. However, our concern today is how the Israelites stood tall in the face of that cruel […]
