TOPIC: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN MARRIAGE               November Monday 25th
TEXT: Gen 2:24; Gen. 3:17
KEY VERSE: 1Pet3:7 “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.”
Resource management in marriage is one of the major areas which brings serious conflict in marriage. Sometimes the conflict or contention is so sharp that it results in separation or divorce. Even if it does not result in divorce, because of certain considerations, as religious background of the couple, it may cause a temporary or permanent damage to the marriage such that righteousness and holiness are affected in the life of the couple. God does not want such situation in the life his children for they are both heirs of salvation.
What are resources? Dictionary defines a resource as: (1) That which is resorted to for aid or support. (2) Available means or property; a supply that can be drawn on. In the context of this topic, resources means family property which the couple depends on for living – money, people, vehicles, food, farm, houses etc. In the management of family property the scripture has stipulated the basis and acceptable standard for usage in righteousness and holiness, which if followed will not only yield peaceable co-existence between the couple but also enables them to enter heaven at last.
Three vital areas of importance in marriage resource management are: (1). Obedience of the wife unto the husband as unto the Lord; (2). The submission of the wife’s resources to her husband. (3). Wisdom in Submitting Your Resources in Righteousness and Holiness. The wife’s righteousness will be affected if she obeys the husband against the commandment of God. For example; if the husband asks the wife to buy him a bottle of beer. She should not obey. There was a case of a husband who asked the Christian wife to put dye on his hair the wife refused, telling him that it was a sin. Even though it caused her serious persecution she did not yield. Wives, be strong in the Lord and sin not. That is not disobedience to a husband. Let wives always take God first. Apart from breaking the law of God, the wives must be totally obedient in everything. Some women are obedient to everything that their pastors tell them but they will not do so to their husbands. This is wrong. Similarly, every struggle for headship with a man by a woman will attract God’s judgment.
Thought for the day: The man should have the final say matters of righteousness and decision
Song for the day: He is the great Provider (4x) He will surely provide for you.....
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 34-35; 1 Peter 2

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...
  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
