THE WRONG AND RIGHT ATTITUDES IN MARRIAGE

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 
TOPIC: THE WRONG AND RIGHT ATTITUDES IN MARRIAGE           July Wednesday 15th
TEXT: Colossians 3:10-17
KEY VERSE: Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 

Evil character in a marriage does not give room for true love to operate. Rather, it puts marriage in contention. Some of the characters that manifest in such marriage include:  

1. Anger. Easily provoked and intolerant. Proverbs 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go. This is a serious problem, because the partner is not just a friend but a wife or a husband. 
2. Lying. This makes the person untrustworthy and hard to be believed because lying is known to be his or her second nature. If he or she says good morning, you may need to check outside to be sure it not night already. 
3. Hatred. It runs in your family and you continued in it. Your partner shows love but you respond with hatred. He buys you gift, but you pay back with insults. Instead of you to be grateful to God, you envy your wife because she earns more. 
4. Witchcraft. The woman gets initiated to manipulate or punish her husband. She has hijacked the headship arrangement of God. God's judgment is upon her. You are angry because your husband did not consult you before taking some decisions. Did Abraham consult Sarah before he took Isaac to offer as sacrifice? Why fight for yourself? Why not take your case to God?  
5. Suspicion. You are always suspecting your partner. Never trusting. That is an unclean spirit. You are fully convinced on lies. You need deliverance! 
6. Never Appreciative. You are always complaining. Why push your spouse to steal or cheat in order to satisfy your appetite? 

Some marriages have ended in divorce (which God forbids) as a result of these sins. What God now desires from you are found in today’s reading text (Colossians 3:10-17). Kill that pride in you that makes you look down on your partner. If you don't think too highly of yourself, you will not look down on your partner. Jesus says of Himself, “I am meek and lowly of heart.” Learn meekness and longsuffering. Be patient and show longer tolerance, trusting that God will settle the matter between you and your spouse. Be forgiving and ignore offences. Don't be too pained by offences. Don't be vengeful. Show love to your partner. Genuine love is devoid of hypocrisy. Promote peace. Learn to say sorry when you are wrong. And finally, be thankful always.

Thought for the day: A marriage guided by biblical principles will withstand all storms and endure.
Song for the day: Lord give us Christian homes…..
Bible reading for the day:
Psalm 17-18; Acts 19:1-20

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...
