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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
