The Importance of God’s Word

The Importance of God’s Word

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Do you know the importance of God’s Word? Now, what does a lamp do? It gives light to a dark area, right? Dark areas are beyond the physical dark places in your environment that require you to switch on the light or use a torch to see.

The unseen dark areas of your life include the times when you are unsure of what to do out of maybe confusion, fear, or pressure.

While in these dark places in your heart and mind, you need light and not a physical light but the light of God. Divine light instantly lights up everywhere, driving out shadows and making you see well. This divine light is God’s word, the bible.

The psalmist in chapter 119 and verse 105 acknowledges what God’s word does for him.

Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

“A lamp to my feet…”

This shows that with God’s word as your light, you won’t lose your footing.

You won’t fall into any form of sin, fear, confusion, or bow down to any form of pressure from anyone to make you commit a sin.

And even if you happen to want to fall, His word will still help you not to fall.

Look at the second part of the verse – “…and a light to my path”. His word won’t let you fall for they will lighten up your path. They will give you an understanding of any situation you are facing at school, home, or anywhere.

His word will teach you how to handle the situation. He will guide you on what to say, do, or how to act.

God’s word is very powerful. Able to guide, teach and save you from any challenges you might have. His word is also able to show you how you could have managed past problems. This way, when such situations rise up again, you already know how to handle them.

Remember this verse when you seem not to know what to do. Go into God’s word and let his light keep your feet firm and your path bright.

God bless you. Amen

Prayer:
Lord, I thank You for your word and how it divinely helps me walk right in this world. In Jesus name. Amen.

Action point:
Rely on God’s word for all your situations. 

Declaration:
The word is my life.

Twenty Two Things We’ve Learnt In Twenty Two Years Of Marriage

Twenty Two Things We’ve Learnt In Twenty Two Years Of Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

So basically, today is our wedding anniversary! It has been twenty-two years! God has been good. God has been good over us and our children.

It has not always been an express road with so smooth a ride, but it has been one filled with bumps and pot-holes!

However, our marital vehicle did not break down! God kept us. At some times, the engine nearly got knocked, but God did not allow it.

Below are twenty-two things we have learned in twenty-two years of marriage

1. God leads. He always does. Finding out His Will for your life is the most beautiful thing you can do.

2. God’s mercy is real. Without that mercy, nothing remains, really. That is why we are alive! That is why we have not been consumed.

It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

Lam 3:22 (KJV)

3. Communication is key. The absence of it can lead to the marital life being maimed.

4. Become friends before becoming lovers. Don’t jump. Follow the process.

Did you miss out on yesterday’s devotional, we’ve got you covered. Kindly go HERE. For KHC video Devotionals, kindly go HERE

5. Prayers are important. Talk to God about everything. I mean everything.

6. Be a voracious book reader. Read like your life depended on it.

7. Start your day with His word. That day will be blessed.

8. Loose living and an indisciplined sexual life will always terminate in regrets.

9. Get ready for the conflicts that come from male-female differences. Read ahead and be prepared to handle them.

10. Stay honest. Stay on the side of truth. The truth will always set free.

11. Be open with each other. It’s naked and not ashamed.

12. Be sacrificial. Seek to please your partner. That is the simple definition of marriage. Seeking to please him or her. You see, after pleasing God, the next person to please is your spouse.

To be continued tomorrow.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I will not miss it in marriage.

PRAYERS FOR THE DAY
Oh Lord, increase my passion for my lover.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
1 Corinthians 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Celebrate yourself

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY

Twenty Two Things We’ve Learnt In Twenty Two Years

Today is our wedding anniversary! It has been God o! Literarily.

And the way the years moved so fast? Like it has been twenty two years! Twenty two long years!

Even though, it kind of looked so fast, I can assure you it has been a long marital road. However, I can also tell you this of which I am sure of, the long road of our marital journey is laced with mercy!


GOD’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up.

Lam 3:22 (MSG)

We travelled on mercy. We had junctions of His favour! We had stops where angels ministered to us. To God be the praise!

Did you miss out on yesterday’s devotional, we’ve got you covered kindly go HERE. For KHC video Devotionals kindly go HERE

Here are a few things things I have learnt that may help you in your marriage

1. Pray a lot as married couples. Do everything in prayer. The battle is intense, but God has all the power.

2. Stay close to each other. Do not allow a third party to break your bond.

3. Get a marriage mentor that you can speak to from time to time. Very important.

4. Be open and honest with each other. Avoid unnecessary secrecy.

5. Be faithful to each other. Avoid emotional affairs. Do not starve your spouse emotionally.

6. Be quick forgivers. Forgive quickly and avoid strife like a plague

7. Be friends. Laugh a lot. Play with each other. You need that to live long

8. Do not allow anything to steal your joy. Keep your joy intact.

9. Do not deprive each other sexually. Satisfy each other and never refuse yourselves. Sex is never a tool of punishment or a reward system. It is simply an obligation

10. Decide to be sacrificial. Live to please each other. That is what marriage is all about.

11. Never stop communication. Do not give each other silent treatment. Crack jokes a lot and play together

12. Give a lot. Work hard and trust God for His favour upon the works of your hands.

To be continued tomorrow.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I celebrate my spouse today and always

PRAYERS FOR THE DAY
Oh Lord, increase my passion for my lover.

Thou Shall Not Judge

Thou Shall Not Judge

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Thou shall not judge. Beatrice scolded Mary from afar with her eyes. How could she not know that taking money from the cashier’s table was stealing? And now everyone knew what had happened.

They were good friends at school and Beatrice couldn’t bear the shame and embarrassment her friend had brought on her. She vowed not to be friends with Mary again.

Weeks before, Beatrice’s mother had followed her to school to see the principal. Beatrice had four textbooks that didn’t belong to her. She had taken them from the bags of her classmates without them noticing.

The principal had scolded her and asked her to return the books and meted out some punishment to her.

All through this, Mary never disowned her or felt embarrassed or ashamed as Beatrice felt now. How come Beatrice suddenly thinks she is better than Mary and labels her a sinner?

Here is what the bible says about sinners.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Romans 3:23

The verse tells us that we were once sinners and not fit to receive God’s love but for Jesus who died that we might experience the glory of God in our lives.

No one can say that he or she has never sinned. Only God can not sin. Once we were sinners and now God has redeemed us from the consequences of sin through Jesus.

With this verse, understand that we can only continue to ask for forgiveness for our sins and receive help to not sin consciously.

And we are not to also judge others as sinners. Do not be like Beatrice, be like God, and don’t judge.

May the Lord give you the grace to not judge anyone. Amen

Prayer:
Lord, help me not to judge anyone, most especially my friends. Help me to love them.

Action point:
Before you judge anyone, ask yourself if you have ever done anything like they did. Would you like to be judged? 

Declaration:
I will not be judgemental.
