It’s Okay to Compromise in Order to Maintain Peace

During Jesus’ time of earthly ministry, the Israelites used to pay temple tax before entering the synagogue. In the context of Jesus’ spiritual understanding, it wasn’t right for God’s children to pay tax before entering the temple to worship. He knew this, but the Pharisees didn’t. Nevertheless, in order to avoid causing offence and to maintain peace, he performed a miracle, got money out of a fish’s mouth and paid the tax for himself and Peter. At that moment, Jesus valued peace more than his knowledge [Matthew 17:25-27]. Not everyone has your level of spiritual understanding. Deal wisely with people.

Protect Destinies by Obeying God

If the wise men had disobeyed God, baby Jesus would have been killed by Herod. The saviour of man wouldn’t have executed His divine mandate — that is, taking away the sin of the world (John 1:29). That also means there would be nothing like salvation, and people would have continued wallowing in sin worse than today. One simple obedience has collaborated to billions of people having access to salvation today and counting.

Pray for God to Lead Your Man

Don’t watch the enemy steal your man from you. It’s not just about meeting a godly partner but keeping him, both before and after marriage. When a man hears from God to do something, he might not say it immediately. Joseph didn’t explain why he still took Mary home as his wife, even though God told him to do it. So dear lady, pray for your man because when he’s under Elohim’s leadership, you also will be safe and enjoy each other.

It’s About the Fulfilment of Prophecy

Joseph was from the tribe of Judah. So if Mary had lost him, we wouldn’t have had any right to call Jesus the “Lion of Judah.” Can you discern your man well, virtuous woman? Don’t treat him like a jerk or a son. Love him, respect him and care deeply about his welfare because men rarely get even a little of this kind of treatment from women except for their mothers and sometimes sisters.

God Protects Godly Relationships from Failing

Joseph was a just man. He was faithful to the laws of God. And because of his integrity, he wanted to divorce Mary quietly after finding out she was pregnant through the Holy Spirit. What this would have meant is that Mary would be stoned to death and also accused of committing adultery since Joseph wasn’t the one who impregnated her. But God protects godly relationships from failing.

Two Are Better Than One

God didn’t create you to do life alone. You may never know when you’ll need another person’s help. You may not know when another person will also need your help. Walk with wise people, and have at least one friend in Christ who’ll be with you every time of your life.

Purpose Existed Before Marriage

Did you know that purpose existed before marriage? Well, it’s plain in the scriptures. God created Adam first and gave him work to do. That is, to tend and keep the garden of Eden. Then three verses after, God got an idea to make a suitable helper for Adam, which is Eve.

Flee from Sexual Immorality

Understanding why God has given you a body for the Holy Spirit to dwell in and becoming conscious of it is an even more powerful way to flee from sexual immorality. Why? Because you’ll learn how to control your body and use it purposefully.

Looking for the Right Partner in the Wrong Place?

A question many Christians about relationships is, “can we date anybody we like?” Well, God knew this was coming. So He set the standard way back in Genesis. He made a suitable helper for Adam after realising that it’s not good for the man to be alone. But before that, something happened in Genesis 2:20. Read More…

Woman, Build Your House

The Bible doesn’t say “a wise wife builds her house…”. It says “a wise woman builds her house” (Proverbs 14:1). That means a woman doesn’t necessarily need to be someone’s wife to build her house. Again, she doesn’t need to possess large sums of money in her bank accounts to construct a physical house though she can do it with the strength of God. There’s one principal thing she needs. It’s called divine wisdom.

Find a Wife

Young man, the picture-perfect person you’ve created in your mind to share life with doesn’t exist. God may have blessed you with one of His daughters to be with, but probably that female isn’t exhibiting all the Christ-centred character traits you desire. Can I tell you something profound in the Word? Read more….
