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.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
