Dear Reader,
God has made provisions for marriage to
produce good for you and I, but we have a
responsibility to develop that plan. It is like
the negative film of a picture. The
photographer must spend time in the
darkroom developing the negative and come
out with a beautiful picture. A negative must
be developed before it becomes enviable.
This is the same thing with marriage. You
must develop your marriage by doing those
little things that you may think don’t really
matter.
So far, we have seen the potency of the
words that can transform a marriage. This
week, God has another powerful secret for us
which is, Touching & Giving of Gifts.
This is a very important act. Sometimes, a
touch speaks just as much as words. It
communicates, “I am in touch with you.” It
keeps the fire burning at times, when words
are clumsy. When this vital factor is lacking,
the couple stays aloof and withdrawn. The
atmosphere in the house is usually tense.
A touch communicates warmth. When a
husband, for instance, puts his arms around
his wife, it brings warmth that neither money
nor words can produce. Husband and wife,
study to be romantic. Couples are to be
“ravished” by each other’s love! God’s Word
says: … Be thou ravished always with her
love (Proverbs 5:19) “Ravished” means
transported by delight. It works!
Husband, there may be times when your wife
is down physically. Remember that “love is
medicine.” At such times, all you need do is
to show a little more love and she’ll be well!
Some kind words, a little physical touch, some
kisses or a little gift from you as husband to
her as a wife! The time she would have spent
at the doctor’s office could be used by you to
demonstrate your love to her and you
wouldn’t need to spend your money on drugs
anymore! I’ll never forget an experience I had
some years ago.
There was a time when I was really down
physically. My husband went out one of those
days and came back with a little gift,
beautifully wrapped and personally presented
to me; to further express his love for me.
Could you believe that little act of love from
him brought me health and I never needed
medication? There’s no woman who hates to
be loved.
These are little things, but they have the
ability to lift up your marriage. Love is
medicine! We love those who are precious
and honour them.
God so loved the world that He gave His son!
If you claim to love, it must find expression in
giving. A thoughtful little gift at the right time
can work wonders! You must make it a point
of duty to remember special days such as
birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions,
and share the joy of the moment by
exchanging gifts. These were the things you
did while courting; you shouldn’t let them slip
by just because you’re now married.
A gift at the right time to your spouse can
enhance your relationship and make it more
precious. Remember Elkanah and Hannah?
Elkanah was sensitive to the needs of his
wife. He had so mastered the art of
ministering to Hannah’s emotional needs that
he could say to her, …Am not I better to
thee than ten sons (I Samuel 1:. You will
not fail in Jesus’ name!
If you are not born again, it will be impossible
for you to benefit from what has just been
discussed. But if you want to be born again
and become a child of God now, you can say
this simple prayer with me in faith: “Dear
Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I
am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and
cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me
from sin and satan to serve the living God.
I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Make
me a child of God today. Thank You for
accepting me into Your Kingdom.”
If you prayed this simple prayer,
you are now a child of God. He loves you
and will never leave you. Read your Bible
daily, obey God’s Word and seek Christian
fellowship (John 14:21).
Congratulations! You are now born again! All-
round rest and peace are guaranteed you, in
Jesus’ Name. Call or write, and share your
testimonies with me through
contact@faithoyedepo.org ; OR 07026385437
and 08141320204.

me are available at the Dominion Bookstores
