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.

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
