PUT GOD FIRST BEFORE YOUR SPOUSE

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: PUT GOD FIRST BEFORE YOUR SPOUSE 

TEXT: MATTHEW 22: 36-40 

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 19TH

Key verse: Matthew 22: 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 
Believer, you must put God first before your spouse. Adam, why not God first? Why put your wife in the first place before God? Adam, God said you should not eat that fruit, but you have obeyed your wife to disobey God and have eaten. God first! Do not listen to your wife if it contradicts God’s Word. Do not mind her crying; otherwise, she will put her blame upon you as Sarah did. Abraham asked, “Were you not the one that advised me? Sarah answered, Why did you take it when you knew my advice would lead you away from the will of God?” ‘But you were crying.’ “If I cry, will I not get tired? Ignore my cry; do what God tells you. Now that you have not done it, it has become a problem at home.” God first, not your wife. Do not mind her crying, “I will leave this house; you do not love me.” God will bring her back if she goes because He will be on your side. Love God first, then your wife. Love is not divided. Your love for God will naturally flow to your wife. 
Likewise, if you, a woman, love God first, it will flow over to your husband. The love for your spouse will be pure because the love of God is pure. Similarly, it would flow fresh and pure to the children. Love God first, and then you can go ahead and love your wife and children, which is the second commandment. As a wife, you can love your husband after doing the first duty: to love the Lord. When you are connected to Him, the love will flow down. God is up; man is down. Throw love up to God, and it will fall on man. The Lord will allow it to fall on your husband and children as you throw love up to Him. God first! The man must not contend with Jesus for headship. Since Jesus willingly gives His headship over the marriage and family, the man must not compete with Him for headship. Man, do not struggle for headship with Jesus. Jesus is the head. 

Thought for the day: Throw love up to God, and it will fall on man. 

Song for the day: Jesus loves me, He died for me…

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 20-21; James 1

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
