Today wewill be looking at the topic “Ten ways to show respect to yourselves in marriage”
Against contrary opinions, respect in marriage is mutual. People are of the opinion that respect for the husbands is a big deal. Yes, it is. Just as men do not want to be disrespected in private or public, so also women need a dose of respect.
Men can readily tell what a bruised ego is and in this part of the world. an average man will not tolerate to be disrespected in any form, method, shape or size. In other to have a relationship that is healthy and mutually beneficial, respect has to be mutual.
Some of us don’t even know when we are being disrespected. The gospel of men dominance has been preached for so long that women feel they are not worth much. that they are just worthless, less than good, helpless, weaker vessels.
Contrary wise, women have tremendous strength, ability, knowledge, wisdom and great dexterity. It takes great strength to be a mother and give birth to a child, to keep a home, multitask, submit to your husband and stay married. All these take great strength.
But if we are going to have a healthy marriage relationship we would know that submission to one another in the fear of God is essential. A man not submitted to Christ is a difficult man and hard to submit to.
This is not teaching or telling wives not to submit to their husbands. It is addressing that fact that marriage is meant to be mutually beneficial to both the husband and the wife.
Tomorrow, I will show us practical ways we can submit to one another in marriage.
God bless our marriages.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I am submitted to my spouse.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, teach me how to submit to my own spouse.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Ephesians 5:21(KJV) Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
In this series, we would be looking at some great habits children should pick up that will greatly advance them in life.
What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [god’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow?
Romans 6:1 AMP
What’s a Habit? A habit can be defined to be a set of actions we do regularly, especially if it’s for a long time and quite hard to give up. There are some great habits and there are some bad habits. Let’s take a peep into your life: What are the things you do regularly that you have been doing for a long time and is very hard for you to give up? Can you mention them? Now are these things good or bad?
So habits can be good or bad. It depends on what you are doing. Do you lie a lot? It’s because you probably have spent a long time doing so. Do you smile when you greet others or just pass by without a hello or hi? Is it what you have been used to doing? These are not some great habits you know.
They say it takes 5 days to form a habit and 21 days to break it. So, you can learn to be a bully within 5 days and spend 21 days to try and stop being a bully. You see that it easier to get on some great habits in your life than to break bad ones?
But the thing about habits is that, most people don’t complete that 21 days cycle. There’s the tendency to revert to the old habit. It’s just so hard to do.
Imagine if you always read your bible daily at a particular time of the day? That’s a habit you have formed. And it has been a part of you and will be quite difficult for you to stop doing. There you have it! You can form some great habits.
In this series, we will be looking at some wonderful habits you should form as a child of God. And why you should.
God bless you. Amen.
Prayer: Lord, help me to form some great habits in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Action point: Can you make a list of all your habits. Which ones do you want to keep and which do you want to stop?
There will always be issues in relationships and marriage. There will always be challenges. There will always be something to sort, discuss, solve or resolve. When two people live together, this is expected.
It is for this reason that communication becomes important in any relationship and marriage. Once communication becomes defective, there will be assumptions. An assumption is the lowest form of knowledge, so naturally there will be wrong conclusions. The wisdom then is to keep on talking and never keep malice with your spouse, fiancée or friends.
There will be problems to SOLVE. It simply means to find the solution to a problem or question. For example, attitudinal tendencies can become problems. There can be attitudes that have been picked up while your spouse is growing up. These can form into habits that can become lifestyles.
Once there is a negative attitude, then you simply have a negative lifestyle. What do you do with such? You are to confront and solve, not deny or pretend that they are not there.
There will be quarrels to RESOLVE. To resolve means to reach a conclusion after a discussion or deliberation. If two people live together and both of them are thinking, there will be disagreements. But as Kenneth Hagin said, you can disagree to agree! Resolve every disagreement. Remember you are to complement each other not compete.
There will be wrong mindsets to DISSOLVE. There will be wrong relationships to dissolve. For example, you cannot be getting counsel on how to run your home from someone who has no home! He could cancel your destiny in an attempt to counsel you!
Take decisions. Solve the problems, resolve the quarrels, and dissolve the relationships that can ruin you.
If you are single and courting, and you are constantly involved in sexual affairs, it is time to dissolve such because the laws of cause and effect will soon take their course. You cannot outrightly disobey God and expect his protection, favour, and blessings.
May God grant you understanding.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I am not confused. I have the mind of Christ. I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, strengthen me in my inner man to do the impossible this year.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Job 12:13 MSG “True wisdom and real power belong to God; from him we learn how to live, and also what to live for.

Five Things About Falling In Love And Staying In Love was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 11th of July 2021 at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan.
In his teaching, Rev. Dunamis made mention of the following important points:
As a single, stop falling in love with more than one person at a time.
If you STAY with God, everything will be beautiful. But what happens most times is that we don’t want to stay with God; we want to follow our feelings and emotions.
However, you cannot survive in the realm of your feelings; you must come to the realm of reality.
When God communicates with you, He does not do it through your feelings; He does it through your spirit.
Your feelings would eventually become your decisions if your dwell there.
When you see terror and minimize it to fun, you are in deadly trouble.
In falling in love, the first order of things is to RENEW YOUR MIND. Your mind is everything.
The moment you start having more than one person in mind, confusion has set in. Stop falling in love with more than one person at a time.
In his teaching, Rev Dunamis talked to married couples on How To Deal With Attractions For And From Others Who Are Not Your Spouse. He made the following points:
Ignore, Refuse, And Reject
Open up to your spouse
Five Things About Falling In Love And Staying In Love
Love Can Intoxicating
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth– For your love is better than wine.
Song of Solomon 1:2 (NKJV)
Love can can make you lose your mind. Before you taste the wine of love, make sure you are of age. Before you allow him/her to kiss you with the kisses of the mouth, make sure you are married.
Kissing awakens love, and when love is awakened at the wrong time, you will do the right things at the wrong time. Kissing and sex is good, but only within the confines of marriage.
As a single if you don’t learn how to wait then you are headed for doom. Waiting is powerful.
The place of maturity is the place of discipline – you tell yourself you won’t do this despite the urge to do it.
Kissing wakes up unnecessary feelings. Say no to kissing before marriage – it’s easier to kill the seed than attack the harvest.
Rev Dunamis ended the sermon by talking to the married couples on a few tips that will help them rekindle their love:
Take yourselves out from time to time
Keep speaking your love language
Don’t stop wooing each other
Forgive quickly
Have a mentor over your marriage
