TOPIC: WISDOM IS REQUIRED IN SUBMITTING YOUR RESOURCES TO YOUR HUSBAND     
TEXT: 1 Samuel 25:2-37
KEY VERSE: Matthew 7: 6 “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
Talking about submission of wife’s resources to her husband, it should be done in wisdom. This is because some wives are married to difficult unbelieving husbands and unbroken believers, who are like dogs and pigs. While wives are commanded to submit to their husbands, wives of such husbands must be cautious in such obedience, otherwise the holiness they are trying to earn or possess by submitting their resources may become polluted or tarnished in the sight of God.
In submitting to such difficult men, sometimes, their actions in return will bring hurts to their wives whereby it causes them to sin. Sometimes when the wife submits all her property in obedience to the word of God, such husbands, like Nabal, Abigail’s husband, can turn back and scatter the Christian life of the wife so much that there will be no more holiness.
For example, a wife submits all her salary to her husband and he refuses to give her any money to feed the family or pay school fees of the children. The man may use all the money to drink, chase women or even to look after his own parents and siblings; or the husband receives all her money but will not give her transport to come to fellowship. He may refuse her taking out her tithes which is God’s portion of money.
In any of these cases, the wife will becomes frustrated and the holiness she is even trying to gain or protect will be lost. It may seem that the more you are trying to submit, the worse your husband is becoming in his wickedness. There is no wisdom in what you are doing. You are not gaining any righteousness, you are losing. You will even be promoting his foolishness.
May the Lord help you to submit totally to your husband, not only your property, but your whole self in every area. Submission of your property alone will not help you if your heart is not submitted as well. Your heart must first be submitted to God who will make your total submission easy for you.
Thought for the day: Submission of resources to your husband should be done in wisdom.
Song for the day: I love that man of Galillee......
Bible reading for the day:Zechariah10-12; Revelation 20. #Horemow

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...
