  JOYFUL MAN  Ephesians 5:25-33 Devotional:- “So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself” (V. 28) NKJV Love is the summary of the great responsibility God has given to a man who wants to be happy in his home. Love is the attitude of the matured. Loving does not mean that all will be well. Loving your spouse is the act of molding and raising her for the best. That is why love in the family either to the spouse or the children should be with positive education (Ephesians 4:13-15). But love interprets so many things. Love is sacrificing time, money and self. It is creating time, money and self to help and build a united and happy home. Where there is love, there will be honour, which is the major weapon to win your wife (1 Peter 3:7). Not as becoming their subject, but understanding her nature and putting her where she belongs in your heart. A man who wants to be happy should also respect his wife and recognize her importanc...

COMMUNICATION

Colossians 4: 1-6
Devotional:- "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." (V. 6)

    As God's kingdom citizen please understand that for any relationship to be strong there must be effective communication. A family that share together stays together and journey together. Communication is an act of sharing our mind together. It could be in form of counseling or guide. It could also be in form of sharing our mind in a lighter mood or commending one another. It could also be in encouraging or correcting each other. 

​In the scripture we read today the Bible gives instruction on how we should communicate with others. God's word says our words should always be gracious. This means words of that help to motivate and encourage others. That way we will be able to rightly communicate with others and we shall have good response. 

​Don't be abusive or commanding, there is a place of commanding but not always. Not even to an adult (1 Tim 4:12). Have a right motive towards others because your mouth cannot really divorce your heart (Matt 12:33-37). Be a good listener and not in a haste to respond (James 1:19, Proverbs 29:20). Let your word encourage, comfort and edify others (1 Cor 14:3). Then your relationship will always be sweet. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always have a good heart toward others.

"If you can speak well, you can live well"

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
