The Crazy Thing About “I Do”

The Crazy Thing About “I Do”

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Crazy Thing About “I Do” The day you walked down that aisle and said “Ido,” something happened. It’s almost crazy! Your body is no longer your own, it belongs to your spouse. 

A fusion takes place in the realm of the spirit, which is so strong that God proclaimed, “let no man put asunder!”

God becomes the witness of this union, and any attempt to drive a wedge in between this union is coming against God Himself. 

As couples who are believers, and well-grounded, the weapon of the devil against you is strategic.

If you are a weak believer with no firm resolve, he can easily bring adultery and infidelity to the table and you will be swept off your feet if you are far from God.

But with those who may be grounded, the devil still has strategies. His weapon is to keep you divided, torment you in your thoughts, and keep you perpetually in strife. 

You are not in adultery, but in your mind, you are probably worse off.

This will affect the whole family because your thoughts are magnetic and will determine many things around you.

How will you pray and agree together when the mind of one of the spouses is riddled with doubt, contempt, and dislike for the other?

This is the devil. And you get to know this in little things.

Your spouse is easily excited talking to others but irritated when you are alone. 

The friend you saw in your spouse as courting sweethearts has evaporated into thin air!

Sometimes, this shows up as singles in courtship too. Unexplainable and perpetual irritation from one party could be an indication of deep-seated issues. 

Before you start blaming him or her, you should take responsibility first for where you find yourself, humble yourself and ask God to help you.

It is another problem entirely when you keep blaming your spouse for your own actions, neglect, and carelessness. That can be unfair and you will never change that way.

It is like a General Manager who keeps blaming his employees for losses and the employees who keep blaming the Manager for their ineffectiveness. That organization is in a quandary!

Stop the blame game! It is a trap of the devil.

See, there is no point wasting your time, there is much to do!

Why would you fast forty days and then use four days of strife to rubbish everything?

Why would you sow seeds for years and then pull them out with careless, selfish thoughts and words?

Common, get on the same page and combine your weapons against the enemy of your soul.

From the day you got married, you can no longer do it alone!

So, get over trivial issues, be it husband or wife, and be on the same page so that you can both enjoy the fullness of God’s blessings in your life.

As singles in courtship, you are simply dissipating a lot of power when you entertain strife continually!

May God bless your relationship, marriage, and home.

‘For Better, For Worse’ In Marriage

‘For Better, For Worse’ In Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

COUPLES –

We used to hear this phrase a lot long time ago, but nowadays, we hardly hear such a thing.
The world has gone digital, fast and every body seems busy.

Knowledge has made people to replace old values with modern ones. The question is does modernization makes our conclusions about marriage right?

The modern day view of marriage is contractual while the good old days view marriage in Gods eyes as a covenant.

Contractual view says, you do this, then I do that’. While covenant says, I will do this for you because I am committed to you. It doesn’t really matter what you do or don’t do’.

Marriage as a contract is always based on negotiations, convenience, and protection of self. Each spouse maintain their lanes and do what is expected. Otherwise, the marriage contact does not work and they go their separate ways which means separation or divorce.

In this case, marriage is not for a common goal. There is no fulfilling purpose or destiny together on view. There is no sense of purpose or God bringing the couples together to fulfill a mandate or an assignment.

All that is involved is ‘I am attracted to you, and you to me. We have a love connection between us and we are good to go’.

Marriage is for better, for worse. This is a little scary which brings with it a sense of awe. Two hearts and should beating as one is a mystery. That mystery can only be unraveled by the help of divinity.

Here, there is a sense of a divine assignment. Marriage is not just lived on their terms but on the terms of God, who is the covenant witness and judge in the marriage union.

Each couples live their lives following a particular road map created by the creator. That means there is a supervisory role performed by God.

The husband cannot just do whatever he likes to do, neither can the wife do whatever she likes or wishes in the marriage.

There are guiding principles, guiding both husband and wife. There is a race set before each one to run, and each one runs with passion looking to God for grace to accomplish his/her race.

Here the wife is protected as well or as much as the husband is protected too. Both husband and wife have a common father who protects their interest.

It is not based on human standards that the rights of the husband is protected above the wife. Where the woman is subjected to servitude.

Or in some cultures, where the wife is overly protected above the husband.

Marriage is indeed till death so us part.

May God grant us grace to do His will.

God bless our marriage.

CONFESSION FOR TODAY
My marriage is blessed.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, help me to live marriage as you ordained.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Go through your marriage vows again.

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY
Matt 19

How To Please Your Lover Without Displeasing God – Part 3

How To Please Your Lover Without Displeasing God – Part 3

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Continued from yesterday. You can read Part 2 HERE

Make sure he knows God. Make sure he loves God. Make sure his priorities are that of the Lord. That way, you will serve God gladly and not be persecuted all the days of your marriage.

You really don’t want to get married to someone who tells you after your wedding that you should try out a threesome! You really don’t want to get married to a man who says he loves it in the anal.  

That is out rightly demonic and as a wife, you don’t have to risk your health and life! Seek counsel and don’t die in silence! You really don’t want to get married to a man who brings out ropes and other sadistic objects and says he doesn’t really feel it until he ties you up!

For those who are already married and are caught in this thicket of obeying God and disobeying him or obeying him and disobeying God, thereby kicking against the pricks, I want to offer a piece of advice.

First of all, the scripture says you should submit to your own husband. So we see right away that it is wrong for you to listen to one man, maybe your boss, against your husband.

You are to submit to your own husband, not another woman’s husband. Your boss is another woman’s husband.  

So when he is making advances at you, you are to gladly and boldly disobey him. You don’t try to keep a job and then lose your joy!

Then the next thing is that you are to submit as unto the Lord.

What does that mean?

Let’s take a look at other translations.

Wives understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. – Ephesians 5:22 (MSG) 

Whatever will not show your support for God should not be done.

You should politely, “submissively” refuse anything that will violate your conscience, that will set you against your maker and that will give access to the hordes of hell to plummet your destiny!  

For example, he asks you to follow him to a herbalist. That is a direct affront between the kingdom of light and darkness. You are probably the last hope of that family and the last ounce of strength the children are looking up to, so you refuse! If you “submit” to such, it would not be as unto the Lord, and that might put the whole family in eternal danger.

 So, what do you do in such cases?

You seek counsel. You pray in the Spirit. You keep walking in love and refuse to enter into strife.

If you do this, you will eventually have the victory and your husband will respect you more for this because he will realize it later. But if you listen to him, he will blame you when he realizes his mistakes; he will blame you for not stopping him from plunging the whole family into regrettable depths!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I will not miss it in marriage

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Oh Lord, lead me to that person you have designed for me

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Wives understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. – Ephesians 5:22 (MSG)

How To Make Progress In Your Marriage

How To Make Progress In Your Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

How To Make Progress In Your Marriage. Your past is your past because it happened in your ‘yesterday’. That yesterday could be 20 years, 30 days, 12 years and it could be a day ago. It becomes our past the moment we consciously put it behind us.

The past before our marriage too has to be dealt with in this manner. These include past relationships, past habits, those friends you used to have late night hang out with. Any thing that you know will be detrimental to your new status as a married man or woman.

The pains, hurts, challenges, shortcomings and weights of yesterday must be laid at the feet of the cross of Jesus. If we must experience the marriage that God has in mind for us.

Some people are holding so many people in unforgiveness. Some wives are holding so many people in their minds. Even people who they have no business holding in unforgiveness. Some are unfruitful because of holding unto the past.

In your marriage, you have to let the past go. The past is too heavy a weight to carry with your today. Your spouse will offend you not on purpose most of the time. But the onus is on you to let go of the past.

We must learn to embrace the truth of how to let go of the past like the prodigal son did.

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! – Luk 15:17

The Bible says, he came to himself. We must come to ourselves every now and then about our past hurts and offense.

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. – Luk 15:20

He arose, he took step in dealing with his past. He didn’t leave it as an intent, he did something, he took action.

Until you take action to deal with your past, don’t expect God to grant you the freedom He has in store for only those who let go of the past.

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: – Luk 15:22 

May God help us to let go of our past in Jesus name.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
My past does not slow me down

PRAYERS FOR THE DAY
Oh Lord, heal me from my past

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. – Heb 13:4 (KJV)

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Put the above points to use.

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY
Luk 15

The Day Womenfolk Collided With Menfolk – Part 2

The Day Womenfolk Collided With Menfolk – Part 2

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Continued from yesterday…

“I should not ask for respect right, but you can be asking for Ice cream and jewelry all the time, right? That was how you never allow me to touch you, always forming holiness!”

“So, you want to touch us before marriage, abi? So that you can taste us and sample us and then back out?”

“We are wiser now!” Pastor Dunamis said no wedding, no sex!”

“Is that even possible in this age? One man said? That pastor must be wicked”

“It is you who want to desecrate us that are wicked.” I love my pastor!”

Why did we allow these men to join us in this journey,” one woman said, getting tired already.

Her husband heard that and screamed, “You too? I have been waiting for you to speak since. We will meet at home.”

“Which home? Are we married?”

“Eh! These ones are sinners o, they are tasting something without getting married!”

“Was he not the one that convinced me that we would do our white wedding after we have sex just once and then the next thing was that my tummy shot out?”

Did you miss out on yesterday’s devotional, we’ve got you covered. Kindly go HERE. For KHC video Devotionals, kindly go HERE

“Kai! Wicked man!” Another woman said.

“But you didn’t tell them that you were begging me to marry you and you packed your things into my house before the wedding!”

“Is that what you would say? You are an ingrate, upon all the pot of stews I cooked for you with my money.”

“Your money? What about the laptop and the iPhone X I bought for you when I saw you were using an android?”

“Say it and let everybody hear now, shameless man! iPhone X nonsense that was always freezing when other men were buying Pro Max for their wives!”

“By the way, my wife changes her phones every month and I take care of the bill.” Another man said.

“Who wants the phones?” His wife replied.

“I want you! Today, you are in Japan, tomorrow, you are in China, I never knew I was getting married to the traveling secretary of the astronauts.”

They ranted on and on….and in the end, stopped their journey and turned back home.

They discovered that what one wife wants was already another woman’s problem and what the other doesn’t want is exactly what another is praying for. 

They had to make decisions.

Tomorrow, we will be looking at the decisions they took.

Don’t miss it.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I will respect my partner at all times

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord Jesus, lead me to the rightful person for me

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
After all, we don’t want to unwittingly give Satan an opening for yet more mischief – we’re not oblivious to his sly ways! (2Co 2:11 MSG)

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Decide to do it God’s way
