Make your partner your bestfriend

Image
There are many relationship and marriages that are suffering today because of trust issues. Anyone who should know and understand you the most should be your partner. There shouldn't be secret between you two. A partner who is shy to be naked among each of you in the presence of the other is keeping secrets, not just secrets but deep secrets. Some men or women in a marriage can tell their best-friend everything they want to see in their marriage, but for them to tell their spouse, its like a load on them. Every relationship should first be built on friendship in-order to avoid trust issues although this usually happen with the male folk. No man is an island, every one wants to have a good marital life, but if your partner is not aware, how can they make adjustments. Your best-friend won't and can't tell your partner or help you resolve the issue, you are only creating a space in your marriage. You might think that you don't know how the person will take it, just say it,

Two are better than one in marriage

Marriage is a union created by God, every marriage should have a strong foundation in order to stand the test of time. There is no perfect marriage, let no one deceive you. Husband leave your family and cling to your wife that's what the bible says, not get married and stay with your family. Wife leave your family and cling to your husband not also your family or friends. There is something which is constant, and it is change. When you get married, you are supposed to change your life style including most of your friends. A single lady can not give you an advice about marriage, not all married women can give you advice also, but those who are God fearing and hves passed through that stage successfully. When you get married, you have to limit your relationship with an outside body because you are no longer part of them where you belong to is your husband, because the both of you have become one. Husbands listen to your wives, you were created to have listening ears, while women were

A wife is a blessing from God

Image
He that finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtain favour from the Lord. The moment you stop acknowledging it, the favour ends. Many marriages and relationship are failing today because the men are now taking glory for what God is doing in their lives. God is a jealous God, he won't share his glory with any man, also pride brings a man down. If God blesses you because you have found a wife, but you leave the woman with hunger, tears, pain, to be with another woman outside, even without saying a praying you are bringing curse upon the blessing. God said because you did not give thanks for the blessing he gave to you, he will curse it. When a man don't acknowledge the blessing of God, that is curse number 1, if he maltreat his wife that is curse number 2 and so on. If God should bless a married man especially because of his wife, if he don't take care of her as he should or like himself, it will turn to a curse. That is why many men are striving today, they work hard and so

Give and it shall be given unto you

Give and it shall be given unto you Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, press down, shaking together, and running over shall men give unto your bosom. This is a common verse we hear almost everyday when given our offering in church, the bible is not only about what we do when we are church but about our daily life. What ever you give comes back to you with extra. If you give love, you will receive love with extra added to it, but if you give hate, it will also come back with extra goodies. The bible taught us to love one another the way Christ loves the church. Also we should  forgive 70*7 times daily. No one can offend you that much in a year talk less of a day, so no one has an excuse not to forgive and forget, and love again. It is also written that we should not let our anger to last to the dawn of a new day. According to Bishop David Oyedepo 'Delay obedience is equal to disobedience'. If you do not forgive and forget on time you are directly or indirectly

God's presence in your home

God's presence in your home. Part 1. By Pastor Faith Oyedepo There is a popular song that says, “ When Jesus is in a family; happy, happy home…”  This is true.  A godly atmosphere is the one that is filled with the presence of God. This atmosphere involves upholding the fear of God in the family and practically obeying His commandments concerning family responsibilities for the man, woman and children.  Therefore, let the man obey God’s commandment by carrying out his covenant responsibility of loving his wife  (Ephesians 5:25).    When unconditional love in words and actions is showered on the wife, it will automatically flow to the children and a godly atmosphere that keeps joy flowing continuously in the family, is retained. Let the woman on her own part, also obey God’s commandment of submitting totally to her husband as the head of the family as commanded in  Ephesians 5:22,  with no reservations. Her submission will let love flow from her husband and allow the presence

The Secret of Honour in Marriage

The Secret of Honour in Marriage. Part 1.  By Pastor Faith Oyedepo. Before exploring the secret of honour in marriage, what is marriage all about? Marriage is ordained by God as a unique relationship for a man and a woman to give and receive satisfaction for their needs and desires.  God, Himself, instituted Marriage, that’s why it is honourable. Many people, especially Christians, think that a good marriage is a promise from God, so they wait endlessly for the fulfilment of that promise.  To others, they think it comes by wishing, so they keep wishing. Marriage is a covenant relationship, not a promise.  It is a covenant because it involves a formal contractual agreement between two or more parties, with each party agreeing to do something as a prerequisite to receiving some benefits. This covenant of marriage involves two parties: God on one hand, and the man (and his wife) on the other.  God is the Initiator of the covenant, and His terms of agreement are sealed up in Hi

Marriage is an Holy Instituition

Marriage is an Holy Instituition Marriage is not a must for everyone. God created Eve for Adam because he saw Adam was lonely. But if you know that you are not lonely why should you marry. Live your life the way it pleases you, instead of subjecting someone to life punishment. The reward is coming, it may tarry, but it will surely come. It might not be on this earth, but when the judgement day comes we all shall be asked how we lived our lives. Jesus is the head of the man, and the man the head of the woman. How did you take care of the woman I gave to you? that will be the question not how did you retaliate when she offended you. Respect is reciprocal, treat her like a queen, she will treat you like a king, treat her like a trash, she will treat you like a bin. God has no business wth a woman, even from the beginning, it was never writing that Eve was questioned why she gave Adam apple. Adam was asked by God why he ate the apple. He was also responsible for Eve eating the apple. He d
