Magnificent Marriage Ministry Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 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. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 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. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 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. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

MARRIAGE IN GENERAL MARRIAGE - means unite in wedlock, the contract by which a man and a woman become husband and wife. “And the Lord God said: it is not good for the man to be alone .I will make a companion who will help him. So the Lord God formed from the soil every kind of animal and bird, He brought them to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam chose a name for each one. He gave names to all the livestock, birds and wild animals. But still there was no companion suitable for him. So the Lord God caused Adam to fall into deep sleep. He took one of Adam’s ribs and closed up the place from which He had taken it. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib and brought her to Adam. At last! Adam exclaimed. She is part of my own flesh and bone! She will be called woman because she was taken out of a man. This explains why a man leaves his wife and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Now, although Adam and his wife were both naked, neither of them felt any shame ‘Genesis 2:18-25. God`s creative work was not complete until He made woman. He could have made from the dust on the ground, as He made man. God chose, however, to make her from the man’ flesh and bone. In so doing, He illustrated for us that in marriage man and woman symbolically is united into one .This is a mysterious union of the couple’s hearts and lives. Throughout the Holy Bible, God threats this specially partnership seriously. If you are married or planning to be married, are you willing to keep the commitment that makes the two of you one? God forms and equips men and women for various tasks, but all these tasks lead to the same goal, honoring God. Man gives life to woman; woman gives life to the world. Each role carries exclusive privileges’; there is no room for thinking one sex is superior to the other. God gave marriage as a gift to Adam and Eve. They were created perfect for each other. Marriage was not just for convenience, nor was it brought about by any culture. It was instituted by God and has three basic aspects. STRONG MARRIAGE INCLUDE ALL THREE OF THESE ASPECTS 1. The man leaves his parents and, in a public act, promises himself to his wife. 2. The man and woman are joined together by taking responsibility for each other‘s welfare and by loving the mate above all others. 3. The two are united into one in the intimacy and commitment of sexual union that is reserved for marriage. Have you ever noticed a little child run naked through a room full of strangers without embarrassment? He is not aware of his nakedness, just as Adam and Eve were not embarrassed in their innocence. But after Adam and Eve sinned, shame and awkwardness followed, creating, barriers between themselves and God. We often experience the same barrier in marriage.
Ideally a husband and wife have no barriers, feeling no embarrassment in exposing themselves to each other or to God. But, like Adam and Eve, we put on fig leaves [barriers] because we have areas we don’t want our spouse, or God, to know about. Then we hide, just as Adam and Eve hid from God. In marriage lack of spiritual, emotional, and intellectual intimacy usually precedes a breakdown of physical intimacy. In the same way, when we fail to expose our secret thought to God we break our lines of communication with Him.” Do not make treaties of any kind with people living in the land. They are spiritual prostitute. Committing adultery against me by sacrificing to their gods. If you make peace with them, they will invite you to go with them to worship their gods. and you are likely to do it. And you will accept their daughters who worshiping other gods. You must make no gods for yourselves at all. Exodus 34:15-17. Do not intermarry with them, and don’t let your daughters and son marry their son and daughters. They will lead your people away from me to worship other gods. Then the anger of the Lord will burn against you, and He will destroy you. Deuteronomy 7:3 “So Israel lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and they intermarried with them. Israelite sons married their daughters and Israelites daughters were given in marriage to their sons And the Israelites worshipped their gods. Judges 3:5-6 The Israelites discovered that relationship affect faith. The men and women of the surrounding nations were attractive to the Israelites. Soon they intermarried, and the Israelites accepted their pagan gods. By accepting their gods into their homes, the Israelites gradually began to accept the immoral practice associated with them. Most Israelites didn’t start out determined to be idolaters; they just added the idols to the worship of God. But before long they found themselves absorbed in pagan worship. A similar danger faces us. We want to befriend those who don’t know God, but through those friendships we can become entangled in unhealthy practices. Friendship with unbelievers are important, we must accept people without compromising or adopting their patterns of behavior. RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES 1. It is easy to minimize religious differences in order to encourage the development of a friendship, but seemingly small difference scan have an enormous impact upon a relationship. God gives us standards to follow for all our relationships, including marriage. If we follow God’s will, we will not be lured away from our true focus. 2. Friendship with women of other religion may follow marriage which is a weakness of man .God knows our strengths and weakness, and His commands are always for our good. When people ignore God’s commands, negative consequences inevitably results .It is not enough to
know God’s Word or even to believe it; and apply it to our daily activities and decisions. Take God’s commands seriously. 3. Marriages with women of other religions may have political advantageous but spiritual it is deadly. 4. A woman of other religion can bring wicked influence into family, causing the generation to forget God and turn to her gods. WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT MARRIAGE 1. MARRIAGE IS GOD’S IDEA “And the Lord God said; it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion who will help him. So the Lord God formed from the soil every kind of animal and bird. He brought them to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam chose a name for each one. He gave names to all the livestock, birds and wild animals. But still there was no companion suitable for him. So the Lord God caused Adam’s ribs and closed up the place from which he had taken it. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib and brought her to Adam. At last; Adam exclaimed, She is part of my own flesh and bone; she will be called woman because she was taken out of a man. This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one” Genesis 2: 18-24 2. COMMITMENT - IS ESSENTIAL TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE “So they call Rebekah; Are you willing to go with this man? They asked her. And she replied, Yes I will go. So they said good bye to Rebekah and sent her away with Abraham’s servant and his men. The woman who had been Rebekah‘s childhood nurse went along with her. They blessed her with this blessing as she parted: our sister, may you become the mother of many millions! May your descendants overcome all their enemies?” Genesis 24:58-60 3. ROMANCE IS IMPORTANT “And because she was his cousin, the daughter of his mother’s brother, and because the sheep were his uncle’s Jacob went over to the well and rolled away the stone and watered his uncle ‘s flock. Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and tears came to his eyes Genesis 29: 10-11 4. MARRIAGE HOLDS TIMES OF GREAT JOY Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 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.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church. Ephesians 5:25-29 5. RAISING CHILDREN - Marriage create the best environment for raising children “You cry out, why has the Lord abandoned us? I’ll tell you why! Because the Lord witnesses the vows you and your wife made on each other on your wedding day when you were young. But you have been disloyal to her; though she remained your faithful companion, the wife of your marriage vows. Didn’t the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and in spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard yourself; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. Malachi 2:14-15 6. UNFAITHFULLNESS - BREAKS THE BOND OF TRUST, THE FOUNDATION OF ALL RELATIONSHIP “But I say that a man, who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorce woman commits adultery.” Mathew 5:32 Jesus said that the divorce is not permissible except for unfaithfulness. This does not mean that should automatically occur when a spouse commits adultery. The word translated UNFAITHFUL implies a sexual immoral life style, not a confessed and repented act of adultery. Those who discover that their partner has been unfaithfully should first make every effort to forgive, reconcile, and restore their relationship and restore their relationship rather than excuses to leave it. 7. MARRIAGE IS PERMANENT “Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separates them, for God has joined them together.” Matthew19:6 Two schools of thought represented two opposing views of divorce. One group supported divorce for almost any reason. The other believed that divorce could be allowed only for martial unfaithfulness, Jesus focused on marriage rather than divorce. He pointed out that God intended marriage to be permanent. Guard yourself; always remain loyal to your wife, means to have the same commitment to marriage that God has his promises for his people. Our passion should be reserved exclusively for our spouse
HOW TO TRASH YOUR MARRIAGE IN EIGHT EASY ACTIONS The divorce rate is at an all-time high, and marriages are falling apart everywhere you look. Marriages of church-going people are crashing and burning especially fast. There are forces in our culture that contribute to marriage stresses such as pornography, the prevalence of drivenness, two-career families, and the dynamics of the blended family. But people also make foolish choices to destroy their marriages from within. Talking about the family, Proverbs 14:1 says: “The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands.” Ephesians 5:28 exhorts husbands to love their wives as their own bodies, nourishing and cherishing them. God’s plan is that we treasure and cultivate our marriages, but it’s very easy to trash them instead. Let’s take a tongue-in-cheek look at eight ways that people trash their marriages. 1. Be Selfish The first step is to be selfish. My pastor once said that the AIDS of marriage is justified self-centredness. Everything needs to revolve around you because, let’s face it you are at the centre of the universe, right? If you find something you like to do that ignores your spouses’ feelings and interests, go ahead and do it! Too bad if they don’t like it! You only go around once in life, so grab for all the gusto you can get! Always insist on having things your own way. If you don’t get your own way, throw a tantrum. Or freeze your spouse out. Get your kids involved in this game by saying things like, “Would you please ask your father to pass the salt?” Don’t be afraid to withhold sex if your spouse isn’t letting you have things your own way. There’s a lot of power in that, so don’t waste it! If there’s only enough money in your budget for what one of you wants, make sure you get what you want. Especially if you’re the wage earner, or if you make more than the other. Money is power, and don’t be afraid to use it against your spouse. Make demands instead of requests. Wives, let your husband know that he will do things your way, or you’ll make his life miserable. Husbands, when you want your wife to do something, just tell her to do it. “Please” and “thank you” are for the kids. This is your spouse you’re talking about – they don’t need it. Save all your courtesy for strangers; don’t waste it on the person you said you’d spend the rest of your life with. What we really mean to say: Selfishness is guaranteed to hurt marriages, so ask for God’s help in putting your husband or wife ahead of yourself so you don’t trash your marriage. 2. Pick at Each Other The second step is to pick at each other. If you know that something you do annoys your spouse, be sure to do it often. And intentionally. When she complains about it, tell her to buzz off, it’s not as annoying as the stupid things she does to bug you. The more childish the annoying habit, the better. Be critical of the smallest thing the other one says and does. Don’t let your spouse get away with anything! Stay vigilant for every little offense.
Be sure to address these small details with an air of superiority… unless it works better for you to act like a martyr, as if you deserve the Nobel Prize for putting up with someone who doesn’t squeeze the toothpaste from the end. Always get the last word when you’re arguing. Someone said that the most accurate predictor of divorce is when people don’t allow their partners to retreat with dignity. So make your spouse feel whipped and defeated at the end of a fight. As long as you win, that’s what matters. 3. Let the Kids Be More Important A third step to trashing your marriage is to let the kids become more important than your spouse. Moms, make your husband feel left out of the intimate, secret relationship between you and your baby. As the baby grows, continue to draw the line where it’s you and your child on one side, your husband on the other. Keep your Mommy hat on all day and all night. Your kids don’t care if your hair is brushed and if you put on perfume and a little makeup before Daddy comes home, so why should he? Dads, invest all your energies into making your child succeed at what he’s good at, or what you want him to be good at. Squeeze out Mom so that you will be your kid’s favourite parent. Work so hard on homework and school projects that there’s no time for family time. Let the kids and your other priorities crowd out your “alone together” time. Date nights are for unmarried people! In order to be fulfilled as a person, it is essential to invest all your energies in parenting, career, housework, church commitments and hobbies, so don’t worry if there isn’t enough time left over for the two of you. It’s no big deal. There’s always tomorrow. Or next year. What we really mean to say: Hey! If you don’t find yourself doing these things, stop! You don’t have to trash your marriage! 4. Show Disrespect Show disrespect for your spouse, especially in public. One of the best ways to disrespect your partner is ugly name-calling, especially about thing he or she can’t change. However, the old standbys of “stupid”, “fat”, “ugly”, “weak”, and “loser” are always affective too. Complain about your spouse to your friends. It’s even more powerful if you do it in front of your spouse. Then, if he objects, punch him in the arm and say, “I’m just kidding! You take everything so seriously!” There are a number of ways to show disrespect with non-verbal communication. Roll your eyes, cluck your tongue, and narrow your eyes in contempt. The heavy sigh is a real winner, too. Wives: Straighten out your husband when he makes a mistake, especially in front of others. Lecture him. Ridicule him: his feelings, his behaviour, his dreams, and his thoughts. Do everything you can to emasculate your husband. Husbands: Let your wife know you think your opinion is better than hers. Interrupt her when she’s speaking.
5. Refuse to Meet Emotional Needs Another easy way to trash your marriage is to refuse to meet your spouse’s emotional needs. Men and women need different things from their life partners. Husbands’ top needs, it turns out, are: first of all sexual fulfilment; second, recreational companionship; third, an attractive spouse; fourth, domestic support; and fifth, admiration. Wives, if you want to trash your marriage, ignore his need for sex and that you are there for him in leisure time. Disregard his desire that you look your best and he can be proud that you’re his wife. Make your home as stressful and chaotic as you can, and never, ever tell him what you admire about him. Wives’ top needs are: first of all affection; second, conversations; third, honesty and openness; fourth, financial commitment; and fifth, family commitment. So guys, if you want to trash your marriage, don’t show your wife you love and appreciate her. Don’t talk to her. Close off your heart to her. Make her constantly worry about finances. Don’t be a faithful husband and father. 6. Treat Your Friends Better Than Your Spouse The sixth easy step to trashing your marriage is to treat your friends better than your spouse. Since a lot of men unfortunately don’t even have friends, this is something women tend to do more. Women know how to treat their girlfriends. They call them up just to encourage them. They drop off flowers for no reason. They send them cards, and they listen intently to whatever’s going on in their lives. They are emotionally invested in their friends. They are quick to mention when someone looks nice or does something well because women are usually good at affirming each other. If you want to trash your marriage, don’t do any of these thoughtful kindnesses for your husband. If your girlfriend is having a bad day, go out of your way to take her a wonderful casserole and fresh salad and dessert but serve your husband instant noodles But husbands, if your wife needs you for something at home, and your buddy scores some tickets to a game, tell your wife “too bad, so sad”. After all, she’ll be around forever but tonight’s rugby game won’t. If someone at church or in the neighbourhood needs something fixed, drop everything to take care of it, even if it means that the broken things around your house will continue to go unfixed. 7. Be a Pansy Step number seven for trashing your marriage has two parts. Husbands, be a pansy. Retreat into the safety of passivity. Refuse to take initiative or responsibility in making plans or suggestions. That way, when things go wrong, you can say, “Don’t blame me! It’s not my fault! These are great ways to trash your marriage. Be His Mother Wives, be a mother to your husband. When people ask how many children you have, say things like, “Two – three, if you count my husband”. Tell him to wear a coat when it’s cold and take an umbrella when it’s raining, because he can’t figure it out on his own. Be sure to say “I told you so” as often as possible. If he is passive or irresponsible, jump in and rescue him so he won’t have to deal with the consequences of his own choices. Make sure he feels three years old. Tell him how to live his life, down to the smallest detail. What we really mean to say: Please, if you find yourself doing things, ask for God’s help in being constructive instead of destructive. We want to help you build your marriage, not trash it.
8. When you’re Angry, Blow Up Let’s talk about one final way to trash your marriage. Yell and scream, or quietly say hurtful words; it doesn’t matter. Inflicting pain is the important thing. Call each other names in the heat of your emotion. Dredge up the past and bring up old hurts. You can hit or slap with words as well as with hands, and they each leave a different kind of lasting damage to your spouse and to your marriage. Losing control when you’re angry is a powerful way to hurt your spouse.
Build Your Marriage in Eight Harder Steps Well, enough of ways to trash your marriage – how about eight steps to build it? All we have to do is look at the opposite of this article’s negative, destructive steps. 1. To build your marriage, fight selfishness by developing a servant’s heart. Commit yourself to acting in your spouse’s best interest. Do at least one unselfish deed for your husband or wife every day. 2. Second, instead of picking at each other, choose to let things go. Be grace-givers. Remember that “love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8) 3. Third, be intentional in keeping your marriage at the centre of your family. Have regular date nights, and schedule times away to invest in the intimacy of your relationship. 4. Fourth, commit to actively be respectful to your spouse by never saying anything negative to other people. Be kind in your words and actions. Treat each other as courteously and with the kind of honour you would bestow on a stranger or a dear friend. 5. Fifth, talk about your spouse’s particular emotional needs. Find out which ones are most important to your partner, and do everything in your power to meet them. 6. Sixth, treat your husband or wife at least as well as you treat your friends. Be as thoughtful and encouraging and affirming as you can possibly be. 7. Seventh: Ladies, resign as your husband’s mother. You married an adult, treat him with the respect an adult deserves. Men: Your wife needs a servant-leader – someone who refuses either passivity or tyranny – to love her as Christ love the church. 8. And last, when you’re angry, express it wisely and constructively. Use words like “I’m angry about this” instead of yelling or hurtful silence. If you’re too mad to speak with self-control, wait till you cool down. And don’t go to bed without dealing with the situation (Ephesians 4:26). You don’t have to trash your marriage. You can treasure it instead and ENJOY the Blessing of Marriage!
THE HEALING OF MARRIAGE – THE TRUTH WILL HEAL We pray the Will of GOD be done in our coaching and discussion with married couples.
1. Marriage is GOD’s idea for mankind He is the Author and Finisher of ALL things He is the protector of marriage He is Head and He is the foundation of marriage He is the GIVER of children and ALL Blessings! 2. A commitment was made to GOD as the Day of your Marriage Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in fear of God .Wives submit yourselves unto your own husband , as unto the Lord. For husband is the head of the wife ,even as Christ, is the head of church :and he is the Saviour of the body .Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be their own husbands in everything .husbands, love your wives , even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it: That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That He might present it to Himself a glorious church , not having spot , or wrinkle, or any such thing: but it should be holy and without blemish . So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh: but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church. Ephesians 5:20-29
3. Leave your mother and father per Genesis 2 and Ephesians 5 Husbands love your wives, even as Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it: 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. This is great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let everyone of your in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians5:25-33 The LORD God caused deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs ,and closed up the flesh instead there of: And the rib, which the LORD God has taken from man, made he a woman ,and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh: shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:21-24
4. Honour Christ as the head and the foundation of your Marriage per Matthew 7 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saints unto me, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he/ she that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven Many will say to me in that day ,Lord ,Lord , have we prophesied in thy name ? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these saying of mine and doeth them ,I will like unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock ; And the rain descended , and the floods came, and the winds blew ,and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock And everyone that heareth these saying of mine, and doeth them not shall be likened unto foolish man , which built his house upon the sand; and rain descended , and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell : and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7: 18-27 5. Always word Based [ The Word do Issues but instruct obedience to His Word] Our Father which art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it in heaven .Gives us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. For if ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly Father will also forgive you; But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:9-15 6. Forgiveness , Peace and joy Bitterness, resentfulness and non-forgiveness brings DEATH Christ forgave us ALL our sins at the tree on Calvary – John 3: 16-20 We all spit in His face and drove the nails in His hands; “Father FORGIVE them’ 7. Three Divine spiritual Keys for your heartMost of the challenges verbalized by people relate to broken relationship, hurts, hatred, bitterness and non-forgiveness.

8. Pray unto the Lord God to ADD you to the Body of Christ per Acts 2:47 Become Obedient to weekly participate in the four Spirituals Disciplines INSIDE the Body of Christ per Acts 2:47 Weekly Break Bread INSIDE the Body of Christ per 1 Corinthians12 Become ACTIVE inside the Body of Christ per Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 Avail yourself unto Christ work INSIDE of you per 2 Corinthians 5:15-22 9. Be Expectant of many Mighty Miracles to Manifest your Marriage AND in the lives of your precious children- Hallelujah! Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:33-34
Husband and Wives – Our God given ministry in marriage – The Body of Christ Giving thanks always for all things unto the Father in the name Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husbands is the head of the wife, even as the Christ is the head of church; and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 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. So ought men to love their wives as their bodies .He that loved his wife Lovett himself. For man ever yet his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the church; 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. This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 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 5:20-33 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due to benevolence; and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife has no power of her body, but the husbands; also and likewise also the husbands also hath no power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud {do not withhold marriage rights} ye no one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourself to fasting and prayer: and come together again, the Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandments. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner ,and another after that .I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I .But and if she depart ,let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I not the Lord: if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified husband; else were your children unclean; but now are the holy. 1 Corinthians 7:1-14 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering: forbearing one another, and forgiving one another if any man has a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And all above these things put on charity [Godly LOVE] which is the bond of perfectness. And ye are thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in words or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as to the Lord, and not unto men: knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the
Lord, and not unto men: Knowing that of the wrong shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ .But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. Colossians3:12-25 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands. Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose daughters ye, are as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Likewise, ye husbands dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers not hindered. Finally, be ye alone mind, having compassion of one another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous; Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile; Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 1Peter 3:4-12 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her. So that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil as the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants’ ships she bringeth her food from afar. She ariseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to household, and portion to her maidens. She considereth a field by, and buyeth it; with the fruit of hands and planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengheneth her arms .She perceiveth that the merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth to the spindle, and her hands hold distaff. She strecheth out her hand the poor, yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself covering of tapestry her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in, when the sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come .She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all, Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in gates. Proverbs 31:10-31

ALL THESE FACTS are enclosed Incorporated by TRUTH!
Hear, Receive, Believe, Embrace, and Confess and Daily LIVE the TRUTH! Freely we receive the TRUTH- Freely we Preach and TEACH the TRUTH
Wherefore grid up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end of the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy: for I am holy, And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’ s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear; Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of the lamb without blemish and without spot;
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and Hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the TRUTH though the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren , se that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently; Being born again , not corruptible seed, but of incorruptible SEED, by the Word [TRUTH] of God, which liveth and abideth forever. 1Peter 13-23 MORE TRUTH TO SET YOU FREE INDEED Christ is the Creator and Christ Jesus is our Saviour, Redeemer and coming King-Amen Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son; In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins; Who is the image of the invisible God the firstborn of every creature; For by CHRIST were all things created, that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And Christ is before all things, and by Him all things consists. And He is the head of the body, the church; that is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things He might have the pre-eminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell; and having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto, Himself; by him, I say, whether there be things in earth, or things in heaven. Colossians1:12-20 He that believeth on Jesus is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he hath doeth TRUTH cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John3:18-21 Not everyone that saints unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth [Obey] the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord have we prophesied in thy name? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these saying of mine, and doeth [OBEY] them I will like him unto wise man, which built his house upon a rock! Matthew 7: 21-24
A Question to answer - Are you Living in the TRUTH and DOING His Will? Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. But with thou know, O vain faith without works is dead? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also! James 2: 18, 20, 26 For we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto Good works, which God hath before Ordained that we should walk in [Obey] them Ephesians 2:10 If I am living in the TRUTH, then I will be obedient in DOING the following practical deeds Weekly participate in the four spiritual disciples of God as per Acts 2:42 Weekly receive teaching from five gifts Ministries inside the Body of Christ per Ephesians 4:11-16 Do daily the Will of the Father in Heaven- Matthew 7:21-25 Daily manifest the LOVE of the Messiah IN my life as per 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Daily Shine and share our Saviour 24/7 ~365 days per 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Daily grow to become a Mature Ministering Members and Messengers on Missions for the Master in the Marketplace and in the Messiah’s Body!

The M12 lifestyle for Christ
A Biblical Fact: Darkness in the absence of TRUTH and the LIGHT! And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth TRUTH cometh to the light that his deeds maybe made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 3:18-21 We must be very SURE that we are LIVING in the LIGHT of Christ ‘s WORD as there are many deceivers and false prophets in the midsts of the Church That we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro. and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, cunning and craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive Ephesians 4:14
This know also, that in the last days perilous time shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves covetous, boasters, proud blasmephers, disobedient, to parents, unthankful, unholy without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors heady , high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away, For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins , led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawareness, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into the lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our God Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting claims under darkness unto the judgments of the great day. Jude 1:3-6
Be very sure that you are LIVING in the LIGHT of the TRUTH of His Incorruptible SEED Be sure you are OBEDIENT IN DOING the practical deeds from above. Be very sure you are not being deceived by the false teachings of clergy and laity which Christ hates – Revelations 2: 6-15 Be very sure you are obeying the Will of the father –Matthew 7:21-25 Be very sure you are an active and added member in the Body of Christ. Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 3 and 12
THE WAY OF ESCAPE – ARE YOU LIVING IN THE WAY There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death and destruction! Proverbs 14:12 Whereof let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man : but GOD is faithfully , who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able ; but will be the temptation also make a Way to escape that you may be able to bear it! Corinthians 10:12-13 We can be sure as the sun shines, that trials, tribulations and various temptations will continuously come our way while we are on this side of the grave- Amen The WAY OF ESCAPE FOR CHRISTIANS IS EMBEDDED IN THE FOLLOWING WORD TRUTH 1. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life! John 14: 6 At our salvation we become married to Christ per Romans 7:4 and Jesus become our Spiritual Ark. John 15 and Peter 2 In Him we are more than conquerors and we are seated in heavenly places. Ephesians2: 6 He blesses us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places Ephesians 1:3 Christ Jesus full INDWELL our heart and soul per Colossians 1: 27-29 2. The Body of Christ is our tangible and practical Ark for the short eighty years we spend on earth. The teaching of Apostle Paul is very clear about the vital importance of being ADDED to the Body of Christ and being taught true Gospel of God Jesus gave some, apostles and some prophets and teachers; For the perfecting of saints, for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ; Till we all come in the unity of the faith , and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children ,tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind if doctrine, by the sleight of men, cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Jesus in all things, which is the head, even Christ; From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint suppliants’, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4: 11-16
3. The four spiritual Disciples is weekly Word manna from Christ our Saviour and soon coming King. Acts 2:42-47 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized; and the same day there added unto them about three thousands souls and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and sign were done by the apostles. Acts 4:11-16 4. The breaking of bread is a Love feast where we remember His Victory at the Cross and our marriage union with Christ as our Lord and Saviour. At the Table we grow in the unity of faith Ephesians 4:13 We are cleansed through the washing of the Word [Open ministry around the table] I examine my own heart whether I’m routed in the faith 1 Corinthians 11 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith, prove your own eyes. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2 Corinthians 13:5 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Christ, and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Galatians 2:16 5. The Holy Spirit is GIVEN to the children of God for Ministry purposes We have received the Holy Spirit to guide and help us in the following area of life To be a comforter and a Counselor to all Believers –Hallelujah! To reveal and expound the Word of God to us – which is JESUS To ONLY exalt and glorify the Name of Jesus To change us into in the image of Christ Jesus and bring forth Fruit – Galatians 5:22 To reprove the world of sin , of righteousness and of judgment to come – John 16 To empower us to be Witness [the hands and feet] of Jesus Christ – Acts 1:8-12 To protect us and keep IN Christ Jesus, full of OIL, ready to be raptured1 Thessalonians 4:13-16
6. The regular gathering of the saints to pray, fellowship and grow together in the image of Immanuel I beseech you brethren, [ye know the house of Stephanas, that is the first fruit of Achaia and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of saints] 1Corinthians 16: 15 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praise of Jesus who hath called you of darkness into his marvelous light; Which is time past were not people, but are now the people of God: which has not obtained mercy. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold glorify God in the day of visitation. Peter 2:5-12 7. Let none of us ever “think” we have “arrived” and obtained any worthiness by our own works, lest we FALL in pride and sin as Satan! The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than the divide the spoil with the proud. He that handles matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. The wise in heart shall be prudent: and sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. Understanding is a well spring of life unto him that hath it; but the instruction of fools is folly .The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Pleasants words areas and honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. He has that laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is a burning fire. A froward man soweth strife; and a whisperer separeteth chief friend. Proverbs 16:17-28
Ministry for Women and Wives according to the WORD It would appear that there is much confusion and even deception to this area of ministry in the Body of Christ. Let us consider the scripture as Inspired by the Lord JESUS CHRIST Ephesians 5:20 -27 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one another in the fear of GOD. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ, is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject, so let their wives be their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives , even as Christ also loved the church; and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse the washing of water by the word, 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. Colossians 3: 15-19 and let the peace of God rule in your heart, to which the also ye are called in one body and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in your richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing, with the grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in the word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and father by him. Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 1 Timothy 3:8-13 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithfully in all things. Let the deacon be the husbands of one wife ruling their children and their own houses well. For they used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and a great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 1Peter 3: 1-12 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if obey not the world, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting hair , and of wearing gold ,of putting on of apparel; But let it be hidden man of the heart , in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit , which is in the sight of GOD of great price
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands; Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto wife, as unto the weaker vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. Finally, be ye all one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing, knowing that ye are there unto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days let him refrain his tongue from evil ,and his lips ,that they speak no guile; Let him eschew evil, and do good, let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and his ears are open unto their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. Titus 2:1-5 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Philippians 4:3-7. And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 12:6-13. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
It is clear from SCRIPTURE that women and wives are called to minister in the following areas of life: Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. As the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be their own husbands in everything. Even so must their wives be grave, not slanders, sober faithful in all things. Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands Let be the hidden man of the HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For the eyes of the Lord are over righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers. That they may Teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands , to love their children, To discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good obedient to their own husbands Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanks giving let your request be made known unto God To receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and to be used in the operation of nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit, as directed by the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ The WORD is faithful and the WORD is TRUTH - Hallelujah! The five Gift Ministries of the Ascended Christ has been GIVEN by GOD to saved brethren in the Body of Christ – Ephesians 4:1-6 ALL the members of the Church will steadfast continue in Acts 2:42 And the Christians continued steadfastly in the [1] apostles doctrine and [2] Fellowship [3] breaking of bread, and in [4] prayers Ephesians 3:9-11 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ; To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen
Comprehending LIFE – People do NOT Understand LIFE It is sad to witness that most people live without purpose, no vision and without any achievable goals in their lives.
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps (obey) the words of God, blessed is he in his life. Proverbs 29:18 Many people do NOT comprehend life and merely live in a Survival Cycle Syndrome! Only the Word of God can OPEN the understanding (mind) of a living soul and give comprehension to understand the PURPOSE of LIFE! The effect of the Word on the mind of a human being is very unique: “Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments” Psalm 119:129-131 "Light" and "Understanding" is produced by the TRUTH of the Word. This is much more than education - It is a revelation of God and His eternal purposes! Jesus said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened Jesus their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures (The TRUTH), And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:44-49
Spirit filled Christians are empowered to be ambassadors of the Love, Wisdom and Power of Christ Jesus per 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 and Luke 4:18-19.

In whom we have redemption through Christ’s blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; Wherein Christ hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Having made known unto us the Mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times God might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Christ who worketh ALL things after the counsel of His own will: That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ! Ephesians 1:3-12 To whom God would make known what is the RICHES of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ IN you, the HOPE of glory! Colossians 1:27 The oxygen, water, sunshine and good health that we NEED to live is all FREE gifts from God Almighty!
Life – Tests, trials and temptations
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. James 1:1-17 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:1-17
Life - Relationships
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:37-39
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God loves his brother also. 1 John 3:17-21. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Philippians 2:3 Do NOT judge people that has disappointed you, rejected you or abused you. Extend the love of Christ Jesus to the person (father, husband, brother or coworker) Pray unto the Lord Jesus to touch, bless and guide the person that has done you wrong into the Light and Love of Christ!
Life - Marriage
Marriage is a wonderful gift from God and must be cherished as holy and consecrated Marriage is designed by the Lord Almighty and is to glorify Him Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 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. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Ephesians 5:20-33 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That Christ 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. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 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. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 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 5:20-33
Life - Children
Children is an awesome Gift from God our Creator Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Ephesians 6:1 Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. Proverbs 4:1
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Proverbs 13:22 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. Proverbs 14:26 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Proverbs 17:6 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. Proverbs 20:7
Life – Working and careers
For us to apply our natural God given abilities and talents in the Marketplace to provide for the daily needs of our families But if any provide not for his own and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 1 Timothy 5:8 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 To work with a grateful heart unto the Lord our Creator and not just to please the boss Our work is NOT to become an idol nor our personal road to “glory” on earth Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. Isaiah 2:8 We are to shine, share and manifest the LOVE of Christ in the Marketplace The oxygen, water, sunshine and good health that we NEED to live is all FREE gifts from God Almighty!
Life - Financial matters
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he has sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Luke 14:28 If you fail to plan you are planning to FAIL! We are to budget our monthly income and spend our monies wisely We work unto the Lord and therefore our entire income is from the Lord God We are to honour the Lord with our entire lives including our finances. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
Life – Living in General It is VERY CLEAR from the Scriptures that the Lord Jesus has purposed for us to KNOW His perfect Will and to OBEY His Will - Amen
JESUS our Saviour died to DELIVER us (free us) from our own carnal will and now the Lord Jesus daily leads us to DIE to self (me, myself and I) and live in daily OBEDIENCE to the divine Will of our heavenly Father! Matthew 7:21; Galatians 2:20 and John12:24
We have been redeemed from the law but as Christians we are INSTRUCTED to Obey the Will of God - Amen
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know the TRUTH, and that no lie is of the truth. 1 John 2:14-21
