GOOD SPOUSE

  GOOD SPOUSE 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 Devotional:- “Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband” (v.3) NKJV One of the greatest places where God expects love to be demonstrated is in the family, and most strongly between the husband and wife. It is a pity that this generation does not have many spouses enjoying true love in their relationships. Many have turned the home into a children-producing factory, and there is nothing strong that ties them together. And today, men can no longer understand the purpose of God for instituting marriage. The scripture we read today gives us some great instruction for our distinction in this world of destruction. God’s word says, "Each should render to one another due affection." Affection is love. God expects you to love each other (1 John 4:7). It is as you love each other that the atmosphere is created for God to mend and amend things in the house. Understand that the word 'love'...

Genesis 24:60-67
Devotional:- "Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death". (V. 67)

    A fundamental attitude of love is to welcome others. When I say welcoming, I mean accepting other and allowing others to share with us. Several times we will find ourselves among people that we do not anything in common with. One of the first principles of love is to welcome others.

It was a divine assignment for the servant of Abraham to locate a wife for Isaac. He trusted in God and he was successful to bring Rebecca to Isaac. Though meeting her for the first time, Isaac welcomed Rebecca. She was said to be beautiful but it does not mean she was an angel with a perfect body. Isaac threw away all the minuses and welcome Rebecca.

It's a sign of pride when we resent people. We have the right to chose whether to relate with the people or not. We have a right to determine the level we can allow people to go with us in relationship, yet, we are not to be irritated when meeting with people (Romans 5:8). Give people the benefit of doubt to prove their worth. Spouses, please accept yourself and not comparing your spouse to another (2 Corinthians 10:12). There is no greener grass at the other side of the fence. So, looking at other person as better than your spouse is a sign of weaknesses in you. Whatever you want in your spouse, God can help you to put them in place. Celebrate what God has given you and be happy. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a true heart of love

“Every bad person needs a good person to make them good. Be the one”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
