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'...

BACKGROUND

Proverbs 22:1-6
Devotional:- “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (V. 6)

   

    Everyone grows up from a background. Our background is the nature and the behavioral attitude of people we grew up with. Our background is the lifestyle of our parents and our relations. This goes a long way to affect our beliefs and our concepts of life. It registers in our mind permanently as what we belief that life should look like. Our background often becomes so difficult to change because they are what we are introduced to in our early learning years.

The background nature of Joseph kept reflecting even in Egypt. Our background becomes what other people in relationship will have to manage to have a good relationship. The background flow out in life with us and that is why people say charity begins at home. Some people’s background makes them traders, others partying, others well disciplined, some academics etc. Some people have such terrible background that often stands against their progress in life. Faulty background could stand as self-limiting factor in life.

The moment you notice a background behavior is negatively affecting your life, please be willing to change. It is all about forming contrary habits. This is possible by forming an opposite habit and practicing them repeatedly for 21 days over. Whoever desires to change a man’s background should be patience to explain with understanding about the fault in the background. It will gradually reveal to us a better concept of life. That is when people will agree to change their habit for a better relationship. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be able to change for better.

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.
