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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
