Faith in God is the absolute way to having victory over various life situations. It is the most important prerequisite to overcome life's challenges!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." (Hebrew 10:38 -NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is characterized by several uncertainties and these breed fear in our hearts as we proceed in destiny. We often find ourselves in situations which put us in thought of absolute freedom from life's challenges. However, the word of God has gone ahead prior to whatever we may be going through. We can only be assured of victory if we have faith in God's word.

The Israelites took a bold step to advance into the promised land according to God's word even when they have no idea of how to get there but in the process the red sea and river Jordan parted to give way to them, the wall of Jericho fell flat by the virtue of their faith in the word of God. David when he confronted Goliath didn't know how he will be victorious but by faith he had victory. Daniel and 3 Hebrews overcame the lion's den and the fiery furnace respectively by the virtue of the faith they had.

Your case will not be an exception; faith is all you need to overcome all challenges of life. Consider the word of God coming to you and key into it for victory.

Focus: Marriage: A Suitable Platform to Validate the Fruit of the Spirit

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." (Galatian 5:22-23 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marriage is the only platform that gives room to absolute unclothedness. It is an eye opener. No matter how wonderful a man appears to be, he has no hiding place in marriage. His real attribute will only be revealed in marriage. Therefore, a man is not known until there is an access to his unclothedness.

When you come into a deep knowledge of who your partner is, it is time to reveal the true nature of God. Many come into marriage thinking they will be served in terms of their needs but in the actual sense marriage bring men into an era of greater responsibility. The responsibility to be more loving, living joyfully and peaceably.

When a man comes into a marriage, he will at every time as long as he lives be subjected to the test of love, peace, joy, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. More of these will be required of you when you marry. Your faith is not established until you have come to know and become very sure that you did not fail in these things in marriage.

Allow the Holy Spirit to find expression in your life. You can't afford to be a failure in destiny. Humble yourself and acknowledge God to help you to be a fulfillment in every facet of life.

When the Lord is truly your portion everything about you will fall in pleasant places. In all situation of life, be mindful of the fact that the plan of God for you is for good!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance." (Psalm 16:6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is a wonderful privilege to be a child of God and to have an assurance that He is standing by your side to bring His word to pass. Irrespective of your experience; with God on your side, the lines have fallen unto you in pleasant places. Everything is working for you and for your good.

When Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt it seems as if God had forgotten him. When he was implicated and thrown into the prison for the sake of righteousness, it seems as if his life was advancing from worse to worst but in the actual sense, his life was falling into the rightful place to bring about the expected end as planned by God for him.

The lines falling in pleasant places for you is not limited to what you have and your achievements but the conformity of your life to God's plan and purpose. A life with wonderful prospects under God. Whatever the case may be with your life, live in absolute obedience to God being mindful of the fact that His thought over you is peace.

WORD FOR TODAY
A man tends towards becoming irrelevant in various domains of life if he does not have love. Every good things of life can only be preserved through love!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal." (1Corinthians 13:1 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is the essence of a man from whom you cannot gain anything? People will not but desert a man who is not an epitome of love. Irrespective of what a man appears to be and what he stands for, the fact still remains that he is nothing if his testimony as far as love is concerned is negative.

The primary essence of our existence is to love and to be loved. No man can make a mark in the sand of time without love. Most of the good things we enjoy today are product of the sacrifices of some men who laboured to ensure that generations to come have better life.

What benefit is a leader or follower in any domain of life whose existence is not a blessing? What gift will such give to his world in the days of his opportunities? Whatever you truly love will take much of your sacrifices. You can't afford to leave every scene of life without been remembered for love. Every man who comes and will come in contact with you will leave with an impression of whether you are loving or not; whether you are a blessing or not.

Focus: Allow God to Exalt you

WORD FOR TODAY
When men exalt you, you will be forced to do their will at the detriment of God's precious plan for your life. True exaltation comes from God alone!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." (1Peter 5:6-7 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever a man does doesn't last forever because man and his work is transient. It is only what God does that last forever. As you proceed in destiny, one of those things you must always seek is the promotion that comes from God.

It is very expensive to manage the exaltation of men. You may be forced to compromise every moral standard to please men. The truth of the matter is that you can never please a man in a long run without sinning against yourself and God.

There is a limit to what a man can do for you. Don't stoop low to any man's advancement in every quest for exaltation. The favour of men motivated by disobedience to God increases your labour and burden rather than blessing. Wait upon God to exalt you in due time. You only need to obey God's will to manage His exaltation and you will have peace of mind without any trouble.

Christianity EtcPrinciple Of Communication In Marriage by jonatoye(op): 7:23pm On Oct 13, 2018

________________________________
[13-10-2018]

Focus: Principle of Communication in Marriage

WORD FOR TODAY
The time invested in communicating in marriage is a time invested in the oneness of the party involved. The purpose of God is not achieved in a marriage until the man and the woman becomes one!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But from the beginning of the creation, God "made them male and female.' For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh."
(Mark 10:6-8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ultimate strength of a marriage is rooted in oneness of the man and the woman involved. When oneness is achieved in a marriage, it becomes totally impossible for divorce to take place. Oneness in marriage is not possible without communication.

When the devil and his agents want to perform their enterprise in a marriage, they target the oneness by ensuring that there is a break in communication at certain level. The first marriage between Adam and Eve did not have issues until the devil came in between them to give an ungodly counsel which destroyed the original plan of God for their lives.

When you do not invest in knowing your husband or wife and communicating things that has to deal with the purpose of God for both of you, third party will have a foothold in your union. Therefore, every man must place priority in investing so much time in communication; to listen and also share your burdens and thoughts. You are to communicate your weakness, strength, failure, successes and all issues that has to do with your desires and aspiration.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:28 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every living thing created by God is not without a companion. The Lord blessed the human race to multiply and dominate after giving the man a companion. The human life is not designed to live and achieve anything in isolation. You need at least the involvement of a man to experience increase in every facet of life.

You must understand the concept of agreement and come in collaboration with people that matter in every domain to experience multiplication. No man can build anything alone. You must be mindful of the fact that you must be in a team or a team player to be who God wants you to be.

The strength of a leader is his/her follower. If a marriage will work to fulfill God's purpose in all aspect of life, the husband and the wife must be knited together. Agreement is very essential to have increase. Don't underestimate the contribution of men in every quest to fulfill your dreams. However, your collaboration with men must not put you out of God's favour. Cooperate with God even as you submit yourself to work with men designed by God to help you in destiny.

Focus: Walk and Work your Faith

WORD FOR TODAY
If there is faith there is also a work that corresponds to that faith. When your faith is genuine, it prompts you into action in line with God's will for your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." (James 2:26 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Genuine faith takes it's root from the word of God. However, faith becomes inactive when it is not supported with the required action in the direction of God's will. When the word of the Lord comes to you, your responsibility is to believe and do accordingly.

Abraham was on the course of becoming the father of faith the day he took step in obeying the call of God over his life. The promises attached to this call would have not been fulfilled if he didn't take that step. A man will remain stagnant at a point and live a miserable life as if he doesn't have God if he fails to put His faith to work.

Every promise of the Lord over your life is waiting for absolute obedience to God's word. Don't sit and fold your hands expecting magic to occur. The promises of God will only be fulfilled in the premises of obedience to His word. Go forth in life to walk and work in the direction of God's will for your life.

"He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed." (Proverb 13:20 NKJV)

What you are and what you will be depends absolutely on the nature of relationship. When you walk with good people you will be good. If you move with Godly men you have great potential to be godly. When God brings men your way it is to strengthen and help your life. Both good and bad people have a part to play in the fulfillment of your destiny.

The bridge between you and the place of your fulfillment is relationship. Don't underestimate any form of relationship irrespective of how they appear to be whether beneficial or not.

Handle your relationship with care you might not know if your future depends on it. Be mindful of the fact that there is a measure of God in the lives of all men created by him.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered. In this way, God qualified him as a perfect High Priest, and he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him." (Hebrews 5:8-9 NLT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Experiences through various challenging situation of life teaches a man the real and accurate value of life. What determines your approach and methodology to various issues of life is what you have passed through. Life challenges are meant to shapen our lives into the desired purpose of God.

The Lord took the Israelites through the wilderness just to let them know that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD (Deut 8:3). This was done to give them a life that has a relationship with God.

Your motives and sense of judgement will not be correct if every issue of your life and desire falls exactly the way you expected it. Life over the time has taught us that you cannot always have your way and get what you want in the exact way you think. This principle does not exempt anyone; Jesus Christ also comformed to it, serving as an example to us.

[07-10-2018]

Focus: The Freedom of Self control

WORD FOR TODAY
You cannot do everything you want to do and you cannot have all you desire but you have the liberty to choose what to do. Self control is the fruit of the spirit which enables a man live freely without guilt in every facet of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control." (Proverb 25:28 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Self control is the government of the Holy Spirit in the life of a man. A man who does not have self control will eventually not have his desire met. There is no freedom without self control. It is an important attribute you must have if you must achieve the great things you desire and at the same time in cordial relationship with God.

Many have destroyed their lives because they failed to deny themselves through self control. People have dragged the name of the Lord in the mud due to lack of self control thereby hindering the work of God in the lives of men. It is an established fact that men who fail to deny themselves over something they desire end up in disgrace.

It is good to take some time and pause each time you want to make a decision; think about what the outcome will be and allow the Holy Spirit to find expression in your life. A single act of self denial can save your mandate like that of Joseph, it can save your marriage, career, ministry and relationships while a single act of lack of self control can destroy them all beyond repair. Submit yourself to God always and choose to do His will in all situation of life.

Focus: The Evil of Selfishness

WORD FOR TODAY
Selfishness is the work of the flesh that deprives men of every physical and spiritual blessing either in a short or long term. A nation whose leaders are selfish will not but continue to live in disunity, disintegration and abject poverty!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves]. Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others." (Phillipians 2:3-4 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where there is selfishness there will never be sacrifice. A nation whose leaders and people are selfish can never be great nor measure up to God's expectations for her. What do you expect in a nation where what belongs to thousands or millions of its own citizens is being taken by few individuals. The so called infrastructure, policies, laws, constitution put in place by selfish people will do more harm than good with the people at the receiving end.

When we have pastors, lawyers, men of the force, teachers, bankers, politicians, administrators, who are selfish the citizens and future of such nation will be at the receiving end. The good things we are enjoying today is a function of the sacrifices of the people of yesterday; the sacrifices people fail to make today will have detrimental effect on a nation both now and the days to come. Do not be selfish, play your own part by giving your best to the benefit of men around you.

[04-10-2018]

Focus: Characteristics of Selfish People

WORD FOR TODAY
When the works of flesh is at its fullest in the life of a man, he will not have an option but to be selfish. When the attributes of God does not find expression in a man's life selfishness comes to play!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. (1Corinthians 13:4-6 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God is love. Anything that is not born out of love and sacrifice is selfish. No matter how good and nobel the work a selfish man does it cannot bless men. His motive and motivation in whatever he does is centered around him and for his gains. Selfish people irrespective of who they are; wife, husband, employee, employer, students, boss, pastor etc:

1. Cannot suffer long, They are not patient nor can they wait upon the Lord. They will always find their way.
2. They are not Kind: their act of kindness is for their selfish interest.
3. They are envious
4. They are boastful
5. They are very proud
6. They are very rude
7. They are self centered: they don't care about what happens to other or how they feel.
8. They are easily angered most especially when you stand in their way.
9. They don't forgive men their shortcomings.
10. They are prone to doing evil if that is what it takes to achieve their aims.

Selfish people are the most dangerous people on earth however they always dig their own graves and destroy themselves. You are called into a life of sacrifice and love. Don't be selfish!

Focus: When God Blesses that Which is in your Hands

WORD FOR TODAY
The only assurance you have that your needs will be met without lacking anything is the blessing of the Lord on that which is in your hands!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all." (Mark 6:41 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No one could ever imagine how five loaves and two fishes can feed more than 5000 people. But Jesus did that by blessing it. This sends a message to us in this end time that our pace in life and achievement is not the function of what we gather for ourselves but the blessings of the Lord.

There is no limit to what God can do in your life when you go forth in destiny by His blessing. Don't be intimidated by how small the allocated resources at your disposal in every quest to fulfill your mandate in destiny.

A man told his son in law that he had just N300 when he got married and that he achieved alot in life and the N300 has not finished till date because the grace of God was on it. Take a bold step to achieve the plan of God over your life not minding how small what you have may be if God has given you His blessing!!!

WORD FOR TODAY
Selfishness is the work of the flesh that deprives men of every physical and spiritual blessing either in a short or long term. A nation whose leaders are selfish will not but continue to live in disunity, disintegration and abject poverty!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves]. Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others." (Phillipians 2:3-4 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where there is selfishness there will never be sacrifice. A nation whose leaders and people are selfish can never be great nor measure up to God's expectations for her. What do you expect in a nation where what belongs to thousands or millions of its own citizens is being taken by few individuals. The so called infrastructure, policies, laws, constitution put in place by selfish people will do more harm than good with the people at the receiving end.

When we have pastors, lawyers, men of the force, teachers, bankers, politicians, administrators, who are selfish the citizens and future of such nation will be at the receiving end.

Focus: The Habit of Blessing your World

WORD FOR TODAY
Whatever you curse cannot bless you; Cultivate the habit of blessing your nation, home, family, wife, children, business, church and every domain you find yourself!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For Zion’s (Nigeria's) sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s (Nigeria's) sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou(Nigeria) shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married." (Isaiah 62:1-4).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The world in which we find ourselves is not a perfect one because it is a temporary abode. There is no nation, marriage, home, ministry, church, organization without it's shortcomings. Anywhere you can find mortal men heading, you will find shortcomings there.

When your expectations are not met in a domain and things are not going the way they should try as much as possible not to say evil about it or curse it but rather bless it. It is in blessing it that you can be blessed.

WORD FOR TODAY
Faithfulness is an important hallmark of a great nation. When the Lord have mercy on a nation He raises for himself a faithful priest!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his house, and he will minister before my anointed one always." (1Samaul 2:35 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The experience of a nation will be far from what it ought to be until a faithful priest whose agenda is to do according to what is in the heart and mind of God, oversees its affairs. Irrespective of the terrible experience the nation might be having at this point in time; it is in the heart of the Lord to raise for Himself a faithful priest.

In the chronicles of kings in the land of Israel, the Israelites only enjoyed peace and prosperity at a time when they had a king who obeyed God and sacrificially served the people. Those kings who did evil in the sight of God didn't last long and their memories was cut short. This will also be the experience of those who who live their lives the same way.

You also, are a priest. You are raised to be an ambassador for God in every domain of your placement.
You are expected to be a faithful priest. Your world becomes a wonderful one if you choose to be faithful to do the will of God at your own level: it all begins with you.

WORD FOR TODAY
The success of a man of God is not his car, houses, material possessions, fame or popularity nor the signs and wonders through his hands but doing exactly the assignment given to him by God.!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness." (1 Timothy 6:10 -11 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are not a man of God because of your attire, office, title, certificate or the number or calibre of the congregation you lead but because you place much priority to doing the will of God like Jesus did and that men can see and obey God through your ministry.

Many people have lost their call because of money and other pleasurable things of this life. As far as God is concerned, you only belong to him and working for Him if you do His will and the measure of your success in ministry is the degree of your obedience to His will and how much you submit yourself to your calling.

You must be mindful of the number of souls your ministry present as saints to God for eternity, the people that know, fear and relate with God personally, having sound doctrine through your ministry. True success under God in ministry is only possible when we pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Cast me not off nor send me away in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent and my powers fail." (Psalm 71:9 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Psalmist in the Bible verse examines his life and discovered that he will become old. He also established the fact that at old age his strength will be spent and his power will fail. He now resolved to praying to God for help in his old age. Hence, I want to remind you that you will become old.

Your friends, certificates, ideology, body, wife and everything about you will become old. You will be relieved of your duties to give room for younger generation. I have seen men who traveled far and wide to achieve great feat in life but later retired home only to sit and watch what happens in the neighborhood as well as reading books, bible and newspapers.

The attitude of the old men around you is actually your anticipated attitude; the question they are asking will become your questions. In the manner you see people leaving various scene of life so also you will. It will soon become your experience if you also find grace from God. Now that your strength is with you in various aspect of life make best use of your opportunities. Use your strength to make impact in the sand of time.

WORD FOR TODAY
Careful observation and prompt response in absolute obedience to God's word is the most important recipe for good success!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." (Joshua 1:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a remarkable difference between having success and having good success. A man can have success using any means but good success comes from God. whatever success a man achieves without due regard for the word of God is not a good success.

The instruction in the Bible verse above came to Joshua at the time he was about to lead the Israelites into the land of promise. This is necessary despite the promises of the Lord concerning His presence as they marched into the promised land. The implication of this is that the Lord will only honour His word in the lives of His people if and only if they honour His word by working and walking accordingly.

To have good success the word of God must come first in your thinking. You must live for it, by it and promote it. Every man who succeeds under God from the likes of Joseph, David, Abraham, Daniel never did without honouring the word of God.

" Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them--the children of Israel." (Joshua 1:2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a time like this, there is a special purpose for your placement wherever you find yourself. There used to be some people who were there but now they are not. The responsibility given to you at this very point in time used to be someone's before now. When time comes, it will surely pass.

In the text above, the Lord is making it clear to Joshua that the time of Moses despite being​ a great man has passed. The night shade has already fallen over him and that the time has come for him to take responsibility and fulfill his mandate. It doesn't matter who you are and what you are doing; the most important thing is that the time of your manifestation has come.

Based on the measure of grace made available for you, make an indelible positive mark in the sand of time because this time will soon pass and will wait for no one. Take responsibility and fulfill the purpose of God before the days of your opportunities run out.

"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. (Joshua 1:7 NIV)

As you proceed in destiny, tough time awaits you. There is no man who will not experience His own ordeal in the land of the living. In this life, whenever a man set out to make progress and achieve something serious for his life he will be welcomed by various resistance to discourage him and strip him of the required confidence he needs to succeed.

Despite the fact that the promises of God is over your life just like the case of Joshua, the fact still remains that they will not be fulfilled if you are not strong and courageous as you proceed in destiny. Irrespective of whatever betides, believe the promise of God and keep your faith alive to reach your goal.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:7 NIV)

Your life will be free from disappointments if you live your life with the consciousness that nothing truly last forever. Various situations of life have proven the fact that there is nothing a man can be without the help of God.

The nature of man is a type that evaluates what is at his disposal to measure his confidence in various affairs of life. Some have money, riches, power, connections, good intellect, good job, wonderful career, booming ministry, material possessions, good health, good wife/husband, wonderful children and relations.

However, as wonderful as these things appear to be they are not meant to last forever. There are people who used to have them but now they don't. When things are falling in the rightful place for you, try as much as possible to humble yourself and acknowledge God who rules in the affairs of men.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name." (Psalm 86:11NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By all indication our knowledge is too shallow to go on in the journey of destiny all alone in the midst of various ways placed before us by self, satan, world and God. If you must walk aright; more by faith and less by sight in your marriage, career, business and other aspect of life you must always seek that God should teach you His way and
lead you with Heavenly light.

In this life, you need to know the way of the Lord; because doubts and fears may arise when storms overspread the skies so as to shine through the cloud, rain, sorrow, toil, and pain to make your pathway plain. When you are sad at heart and every earthly joys depart; your greatest consolation is the way of the Lord. So also in hours of loneliness, times of dire distress and in failure or success.

As long as your life shall last and
wherever your lot be cast, you must know and walk in the way of the Lord till your race is run, journey’s done and the crown is won. The summary of our duty as a living soul is that we should seek that God teach us His way and submit ourselves to walk in them in all situations.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. (1Corinthians 7:10 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no marriage without it's peculiar challenges. Marriage fails when men fail to honour God by yielding themselves to the principles He instituted for a godly home. When the marriage of a man fails it affects his entire life, his career, ministry, children, mental stability and emotions.

A wrong marriage can work out to be wonderful if the party involved will humble themselves to follow the principles of God for a godly home. Every man must ensure that he doesn't separate himself from his wife and vice versa for any reason be it logically​ or physically; this is word of the Lord.

Handle your marriage with ultimate care and don't allow anyone to influence you to quit your marriage. The easiest way to destroy the destiny of man is to destroy his marriage. The first testimony you have as far as moral standard is concerned before men of this age is your marriage.

Focus: Unforgiveness: A degree of Arrogance and Wickedness

WORD FOR TODAY
Unforgiveness is an attribute that depicts a show of arrogance and wickedness before God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." (Jamas 4:6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man is an offender before God. The fact that God forgave our sins put everyone of us under compulsion to forgive those who offends us. Therefore, we have no justifiable reason before God not to forgive others their shortcomings towards us.

A woman came to a point of knowing that she would die considering the pains she is going through on the sick bed. The sins of her husband came to her remembrance and she said at the point of death that: "I will not forgive my husband". We don't know if the Holy Spirit is ministering to her to forgive to ensure that she also gain access to God's mercy as she embark on the journey to eternity. But unfortunately she refused to forgive.

If your heart is so hard that it cannot be broken to the point of letting go of people's offence, you need serious deliverance because it will lead you to destruction. There is an evalasting resistance before any man who displays or harbour unforgiveness and that resistance is God Himself. Humble yourself under God to forgive men their sins and be mindful that there is a measure of God in the lives of men created by Him.

WORD FOR TODAY
It takes a strong man to forgive the wrong doings of men, apologize his wrong doings to men, be at peace with all men and humble himself to do God's will at all times!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. (Roman 12:17-18 )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the most difficult thing to do as a man is to forgive those who offended you and to acknowledge your shortcomings before men by taking a bold step to apologize in a bid to ensure peace. It is the will of God for us to be strong in this aspect irrespective of the offense of people towards us and how humiliating it seems to be when acknowledging your weakness and offence before men.

It is an outright sign of weakness under God if you still find it difficult to forgive those who sinned against you and to acknowledge your sins before men and God. Jesus said: people of this world subscribe to "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" But for us He commanded us not to resist an evil person and that whoever slaps us on your right cheek, we should turn the other to him also (Matt.5:38-39).

We resemble Him when we give people another opportunity to offend us the more even as we forgive them again and again in the manner we sin against God and receive forgiveness again and again. The devil will be finding every means to discredit your faith in God by reacting like a baby. Be strong in the Lord; be an advocate of peace with people.
