THE MISSING LINK-PART 2

 

The Missing Link-Part 2

Many couples are fond of using Mr A's formula to solve their own marital problems and when it doesn't work out the devil politely suggest to them to work out of that marriage because it's not working. With this, we keep hindering the plan of God for us in our marriage. I can say this with all assurance that Mr A formula for marriage can't solve Mr B marital problems, everyone have to find the missing link and fixed it up. 


However, this doesn't mean we have to ignore advice from people but when it comes to applying it you need to look inward if it will serve as the missing link in your marriage.



What's this missing link all about? Do I have to start looking for it once I have any issue in my marriage? The answer is NO! God is the all-knowing, he knew that there will be challenges and misunderstandings in marriage so he already provided the solution even before the problem but this is where most people get it wrong, we ignore this solution thinking we can fix it up on our own and when the reality of the situation comes it becomes very difficult to manage. God gave a very clear solution to any potential problems in every home and that is found in Ephesians 5:22-29. God commanded the man to love his wife and the wife to submit to the the husband likewise children to obey their parents but in this generation we choose to ignore this thinking our knowledge is all we need to resolve every conflict in our marriage. Note this that ANY MARRIAGE THAT GOD ISN'T THE HEAD, GOD WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. You have to make God the head in your home, follow his lead and apply his teachings in your marriage before God can shoulder the responsibility of your home. 


It's a must our marriage must work, we must not give the devil a chance to disrupt the plans of God again as he did in the garden of Eden. We must rise up and take responsibility to find the missing link and fix it up so that our home can be heaven on earth.




Shalom

Devoted or Distracted?

Image
We are becoming more and more distracted these days. There are so many things vying for our attention that if we are not careful we can quickly become disengaged. It’s hard to walk down the street without being bombarded with signs and billboards trying to sell you something. These advertisers are trying to convince you that their product(s) will actually save your life, save you time, or save you money. And how about the gossip magazines, and the last-minute ‘must have’ items that are strategically placed where you can see them while you wait in the checkout line at the grocery store? These things are not only distracting but can add additional money to your budget that you never planned to spend, causing you to go over your budget. In church on Sundays , you will see people sitting next to you with his or her iPad. The moment they walked in – and most time they always come late, they will pull out thier iPad and start flipping through it, and had it out for almost the entir...

The Witness Box

Image
A young lady committed a crime and she was sent to court. The punishment for the crime was life imprisonment. She shed tears for help but to no one available for help. When the case was called in court she started weeping. Her family and friends who accompanied her started weeping but there was no hope. But something happened. Before the young lady could stand in the witness box a man stood up and the court room was silent. Everyone looked at Him. He was noble and gentle. He stood in the witness box and interceded on behalf of the woman. The case was difficult, yet He used all His strength, energy and resources to fight on behalf of the woman. After a long legal battle between the man and the accusers, the lady was set free. The lady fell before the man and asked 'WHO ARE YOU' The next day the lady deliberately committed another crime and was sent to the same court. As soon as she entered the courtroom, she saw the man who interceded for her the previous day on the judg...

Do you even need Jesus?

Image
Ever wonder why someone you don't know will stop you on the road and tell you sir/ma, Jesus loves you and with a gaze in your eyes you will be like "i know!" or sometimes you say "that is not my business right now" some people will even sit you down and start narrating the bible to you on why you should accept Jesus but deep inside of you, you start asking yourself some questions like do i even need Jesus? I'm doing fine in school, i'm married, blessed with good job and lovely children and everything seem fine and all right. Do you know that the more success you attain in life, the more of God you need?  The devil is so dangerous that he doesn't want anybody to have peace of mind knowing fully that you will be able to serve God comfortably.  That is why the bible describe him like a roaring lion roaming about seeking whom to devour. The devil is so diligent in his work that he gives you no reason to accept Jesus knowing fully that He's...
