TOPIC: ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS IN MARRIAGE FOR FAMILY EXPLOITS
TEXT: Zechariah 9:14-16
KEY VERSE: Daniel 11:32 … But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits

Bible says in Proverbs 18:22, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” This scripture shows that marriage is a divine institution set up to bring great blessings to the family. It is not an institution of regret but of great joy and favour from the Lord. To harness these blessings of marriage, there are certain conditions that must be present as “blessing facilitators.” Let me identify some of them.

1. Trust. This is an essential ingredient in family relationship. Every relationship is built on trust. In the absence of mutual trust, the relationship cannot go far because doubts and suspicions will set in and cause friction and disharmony. Sometimes, mistrust comes from past behaviours such as wife stealing from husband’s purse or diverting food allowance to personal use. A promiscuous husband too will make it difficult for his wife to trust him on matters involving the opposite sex. Let there be repentance and forgiveness to restore trust.
2. Confidence. Do not underrate anybody in the family. Do not underrate each other’s intelligence. Intelligence does not come by academic qualification alone. Do not allow past errors to affect your judgment. Cultivate the habit of encouraging each other even in your failings.
3. Mutual Respect. Respect is reciprocal. As partners, respect one another … spouses, children, everybody. Let it not be said among you that you use foul language against each other. Give room for errors as nobody is above mistakes.
4. Common Goal. Share a common family goal. There are certain decisions even the father as head of the household cannot take alone. Carry each other along in critical decisions affecting the whole family. Nobody is barren of ideas. Rob minds together and place your options before God in prayer.
5. Love. Love is the bond of friendship. Love covers all sins and forgives easily. Love is not selfish but thinks of the interest of others. Love is patient and kind. Love never fails.

Thought for the day: Keep your family together in love.
Song for the day: Lord make us instruments of your peace…..


Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 11-12; 1 Corinthians 15:33-58.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
