Daily Seven Recipes’ Worth Giving Your Spouse

By Leave a Comment

When it comes to giving, many married people are generous to everybody except their spouses. There are seven things but not limited you should consciously give your spouse daily. These are not weekly, monthly or annual giving. They are healthy, lovely medicinal things I called them, you should and must endeavour to give your spouse daily. Let’s see at least some of them:

1. Give Your Spouse A Gracious TOUCH:

One of the ways to bond with your spouse is to give him or her a gracious warm touch. We have such touch as – Encouragement Touch, Affirmation Touch, Healing Touch, Apology Touch, and we have Sexual Touch. Study your partners and know what touch to give at a particular time. If you want God to touch your marriage graciously and gracefully, touch your spouse with a warmly heartfelt love. Don’t let today go like that without touching your partner with God’s abounding goodness and BLESSEDNESS that’s within you in Christ Jesus.

2. Give Your Spouse A Refreshing SPACE:

As much as you need to bond with your spouse and be together for daily intimacy, communication, affection, planning, etc., yet, you still need to give your spouse his/her space. There is time for couple’s prayers, time for couples bonding. Also there is time for personal prayer, personal meditation, personal rest, personal planning, etc. Don’t choke your spouse. Don’t be over-possessive and over-demanding to your spouse. Stop unnecessary policing and monitoring. Give your spouse a space they need when they need it. It helps each other to refresh and regain energy to spice up that relation by every measure.

3: Give Your Spouse An Affectionate CALL/CHAT:

Some people can chat with all the contacts on their phones & all the friends on their friends list on their social media platforms and such likes –  Facebook and Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp, Twitter and Facetime, SMS message and email, etc. But they will never chat or call their spouse throughout the day. Chatting or calling your spouse in a day at work is a way of saying, ‘Dear, despite my busy schedule, I have you in mind. I am thinking about you’. Make sure you send a chat, or give a call to your spouse today. Make it a daily thing. No body can be tired of receiving a caring chat or a call from someone they love and care about.

4: Give Your Spouse A Memorable HUG:

Hugging is fast disappearing in many marriages today. It has been researched that, hugging is one of the emotional needs of every human being. It is scarcity of spousal hug that makes many men to hug ladies who are not their wives indiscriminately. Many women too crave for hugs and they allow every Tom and Jerry to hug them because their husbands are not giving them hug. It might be in the morning, or at night, let no day pass without hugging your spouse. It is one valuable thing you must give your spouse. It could be a welcoming hug, a goodbye hug, an appreciating hug, affirmative hug. Hugging is a non verbal means of communication. Use it well. Don’t let your husband or wife crave for hug from strangers when you are still alive. Hug Now. Hug passionately. Hug romantically and Hug Always.

5. Give Your Spouse A Lovely SMILE:

God smiles on a home when couples smile at each other. A smile is a way of telling your spouse, ‘You delight me’, ‘Your presence amuses me’, ‘I am pleased with you’. Frowning at your spouse is not a thing that should last a whole day. One of the way to know your marriage is SMELLING bad is when you are not SMILING with each other. Smile. It is one of the best gifts you can give your spouse in a day. I love to smile a lot and I love to see my Queen smile. I don’t like people who are not generous with their smile. It is free. You don’t need to pay to smile. Just relax your muscles and smile. Couples – smile, keep smiling! To prevent your marriage from smelling bad, keep smiling with your spouse.

6: Give Your Spouse A Homely Peace Of MIND:

The home is the end-point of every thing we do daily. Let me explain it this way. If you are a doctor, you can’t sleep in the hospital all the days of your life. You will need to come home. If you are an engineer, you can’t sleep in the site all days. If you are a lawyer, you can’t sleep in the bar or court all days. Even as a pastor, you can’t be in the Church 24/7. We all must go back home. Home is the end point. So, if your spouse will be excited to come home, it must be a peaceful home. You need to stop nagging, fighting, insulting, abusing, threatening, and humiliating your spouse all day long. Give him rest of mind. Give your wife rest of mind. Be the head of your wife that leads not boss, not the headache of your wife. Madam, be a wife, and not a ‘knife’ to your husband. Blessed are the couples that give each other peace of mind daily! Amen!!

7: Give Your Spouse A Heartfelt PRAYER:

No matter how wealthy or highly connected you are, there are things you can not do for your spouse. You are limited. One of the ways to show love to your spouse is to commit him/her to the unlimited God. Say a word of prayer to your spouse daily. Every other thing may fail and may not work. But no force can withstand the power of prayer. You can’t heal your spouse, only God can heal him/her. You can’t lengthen the days of your spouse. Only God can do that. You can’t save your spouse. You can’t take away addiction and evil habits from your spouse, only God can do that for him/her. Pray to God. Mention the name of your husband/wife to God. As a man, you are the priest, prophet and king of your family, lay your hands on your wife, or hold her hands and say a word of prayer to her life. It is a major gift many couples find so difficult to give each other. Blessed is that wife whose husband gives a gift of prayer daily (vis-à-vis).
Pray for your spouse if you don’t want him/her to become a prey and victim in the hand of the devil and his cohorts.

FINALLY:

All these seven things but not limited, you must endeavour to give your spouse daily, are very easy, simple, free and important. Put them on your ‘to-do-list’. Don’t forget to give it. Remember, givers never lack. If you give your spouse all these, I can assure you that, there is a high assurance that you will get it back.

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive“ Acts 20:35.

“The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: 25 the Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace“ Numbers 6:24-26.

I love your marriage. The joy of your family is my priority.

Share to bless a family.

MOTHERHOOD TRIUMPH – If I WERE A Mother

By Leave a Comment

 

“Inspiring And Igniting Godly  Women To Be Achievers And Live Triumphantly In Christ Jesus”

This book is looking at Motherhood from a Biblical perspective. What the Bible teaches on motherhood and how to be a better parent. It’s a way for those who are not mothers or women even, to appreciate the mothers in their lives by understanding the enormous challenges that they may go through or be going through. It has a clear concise topics and written in a didactic way. There is an opportunity to do further study using the Bible Study outlines on the book.

Spiritually healthy families result in healthy societies. The way families are nurtured is what this book is about. Present social problems are due to family breakdown and as much as it’s not just up to mothers to be responsible for this – this book covers and addresses children, husbands and fathers alike too. It’s written from a godly perspective for all who quest after God in their affairs and ways of doing life by it. The core issues that affects motherhood and parenting in general have always remain the same despite changing times in society. This book just tailored those issues in the language of today’s society.

I would like readers to know and understand that the Bible covers every area and aspects of their lives; and for any quest in life, answers can be found in the Bible. Also, that it is best to know what the Word of God says about the experience of motherhood and in this case being shown from the perspective of one who is not a mother. I learnt lots basically from my mother, and from many women and mothers I have being privilege to be their Pastor; more so, from numerous incredible mothers and grandmothers I have had the privilege to be close to in cause of time.

‘I DO PRAY THAT YOU MAY ALWAYS REMEMBER: THAT BEING A MOTHER IS NOT NECESSARY ABOUT WHAT YOU GAVE UP TO HAVE A CHILD, BUT WHAT YOU’VE GAINED IN AND FROM HAVING ONE’

Marriage – A Great Mystery!

LOVE AND SUBMISSION MAKES MARRIAGE A GREAT MYSTERY

“Marrying someone you love and loving  (being faithful and trustworthy to) the person you marry is the beauty of true and intimate manhood”.

“Marrying someone you can submit to and submitting (in excellent spirit) to the person you marry is the virtue of true womanhood”.

“Many a man proclaims his own loyalty and goodness, But who can find a faithful and trustworthy man?” Proverbs 20:6 (Amplified).

“An excellent woman [one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous], who is he who can find her? Her value is more precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls “Proverbs 31:10 (Amplified).

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33 (KJV).

“In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won over [to Christ] without discussion by the godly lives of their wives, 2 when they see your modest and respectful behavior [together with your devotion and appreciation—love your husband, encourage him, and enjoy him as a blessing from God]. 3 Your adornment must not be merely external—with interweaving and elaborate knotting of the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or [being superficially preoccupied with] dressing in expensive clothes; 4 but let it be [the inner beauty of] the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, [one that is calm and self-controlled, not overanxious, but serene and spiritually mature] which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this way in former times the holy women, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands and adapting themselves to them; 6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham [following him and having regard for him as head of their house], calling him lord. And you have become her daughters if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear [that is, being respectful toward your husband but not giving in to intimidation, nor allowing yourself to be led into sin, nor to be harmed]. 7 In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the marriage relationship], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered or ineffective. 8 Finally, all of you be like-minded [united in spirit], sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted [courteous and compassionate toward each other as members of one household], and humble in spirit; 9 and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been called for this very purpose, that you might inherit a blessing [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection]. 10 For, “The one who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not], Must keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from speaking guile (treachery, deceit). 11 “He must turn away from wickedness and do what is right. He must search for peace [with God, with self, with others] and pursue it eagerly [actively—not merely desiring it]. 12  “For the eyes of the Lord are [looking favorably] upon the righteous (the upright), And His ears are attentive to their prayer (eager to answer), But the face of the Lord is against those who practice evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12 (Amplified).

Making A Marital Choice

By Leave a Comment

The Scripture of James 3:13-15 speaks of the various choices that people can make to respond to life. It also speaks of ways of living well and living wisely as its written:

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from ABOVE is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace”.

The wisdom from above as in James 3:13-15 speaks of ways of living well and living wisely. In order to be wise one needs to be humble. Those who are envious and self-seeking and twist the truth to suit their doings have the kind of wisdom that is said to be earthly, unspiritual, sensual and even demonic. With envy and strife come confusion and evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those that make peace. The only wisdom of great choice that is gracious and heart-felt is results orientated.

Marriage: A Covenant of Grace

By Leave a Comment

Marriage is HonourableProv. 20:6 ”Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, But who can find a Faithful man? ”

Prov. 31:10 ”Who can find a Virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies”

Heb. 13:4 ”Marriage is Honourable among all, and the bed undefiled . . .”

Marriage is God’s: A place of reverence, love, faithfulness and trust in His Church. A covenant bestowed with Honour, dignity and integrity. God made it a covenant and not a mere contract, for the good of mankind.

Marriage is made to be favourable, admirable and blessed to be a blessing – it’s not a curse or necessary evil. Marriage is made male and female, also, for a man and woman – not for boys and girls. Success in marriage is an act of wisdom – knowledge and understanding – to make it work, endeavouring to maintain it’s worth; It involves falling in love many times and always with the same person; It’s more than finding the right person – it’s being the right person: Looking for a Faithful Man? Are you a Virtuous Woman? Marriage is worth celebrating – there – God bestowed Honour, Dignity and Blessings. Marriage is far more than having a child or children or worldly goods in essence – It’s a covenant of grace for God’s glory and the blessings of mankind. Amen!
