1. Focus A great marriage is made of a couple who are so into themselves. They focus on each other’s needs. They love each other tirelessly. They are best friends of themselves.
For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
Isa 50:7 (KJV)
God will help, but you must set your face like a flint, which means to focus. Focusing on each other will help you to be faithful to each other in your marriage.
2. Forgive A fantastic marital journey is made up of two forgivers. In fact, there is such thing as advanced forgiveness. As couples, avoid bitterness like a plague. Runaway from strife and don’t touch it with a mile-long pole.
3. Forget Oh, you must learn to forgive the hurts of the past. Dear couples, help your spouse by not repeating what you promised you won’t do again. If you keep repeating a particular thing you promised not to do, you make it difficult for your spouse to forget.
Each reiteration of the act will be a painful reminder of that which has been buried.
Absolutely forgetting a thing is almost impossible, because that has to be a condition of amnesia, however, you can forget the pain that comes with it.
4. Forsake There are things to forsake as you move on in the marital journey. There are things your spouse does not like and which keep bringing conflicts from time to time. Forsake them, that is what growing is all about.
Don’t assume a fixated posture like you cannot change. It’s only God that changeth not, and you are not God.
You deal with the flesh. You put the body under. You remain disciplined. You get better by the day.
Good morning. God bless you.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I am getting better by the day
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, help me to dutifully focus on my spouse
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Isa 50:7 (AMP)For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded. Therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY Write out the word you are standing on
There are habits that are stubborn, resilient almost bothering on strongholds, that hold you by the jugular, breathing down on your neck, suffocating God’s blessings, and ruining the operations of God’s favour
These habits can be killing. You have read about it, you have heard sermons about it, you have prayed and fasted about it, yet this weakness or habit stands tall, cocky, and refusing to move an inch.
What do you do?
Samson found himself in this kind of addictive trap. He knew Delilah was from the enemy. He knew Delilah wanted to kill him. Yet, he played along and cooperated till he lost his life.
Samson that all of Philistines were scared of! Samson that used the jawbone of an ass to kill a thousand men! Samson that killed a lion with his bare hand!
How did Samson get to this point?
He cooperated with the enemy of his soul. He ignored that which clutched to his very soul. He underestimated the power of the enemy because of his past victories.
Samson knew Delilah was after his life, yet he could not disconnect from her. He knew Delilah wanted to kill him, yet he clung to her and would not let go. In the end, his eyes were gouged out and he had to ask for his own death.
How many things are we doing now that it looks as though we are cooperating with the enemy?
I am here to tell you by the power of the Holy Spirit, to let go of what doesn’t want to let you go!
That something is holding unto you will not be an excuse for holding on to that thing!
Let go.
It could be a boyfriend, a girlfriend, an affair, a habit, an addiction, a deception, or some lifestyle or any other works of the flesh… whatever it is, Let Go!
Then you can let God.
Good morning!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I receive grace to let go and let God.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, give me the grace to let go.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Isa 43:18(CEV)Forget what happened long ago! Don’t think about the past.

September To Remember – Day 22
The Lord is blessing me indeed. The blessing of the Lord is resting upon me. The Lord is enlarging my coast. The hand of the Lord is upon me for good. As the Lord granted speed to Elijah, so also I’m receiving speed. I am kept from evil. I am shielded from the evil one. The eyes of the Lord guides me everywhere I go. I am protected and defended. The power of the Lord is upon me. My heart’s desires are granted. All I have requested, the Lord is giving unto me according to his will. I will not be in pain. I will rejoice all the days of my life.

It’s a generationwhere husbands and wives are cheating on each other, even within the church. People have a lot of excuses why it had to happen.
It’s all sounding as if God has revised the scriptures and is now accommodating such lifestyles, but truthfully, the scripture remains the same. God still frowns at it!
The devil is a master strategist. From the very day you are married, he begins to plot and twist, all in a bid to bring you against your maker. You must do well not to slide into his slimy descent of deception.
As couples, you have to stay chaste and stay faithful no matter the pressures!
Have you found yourself where you ought not to? Here are three simple steps you can take to exit!
God wants you to exit, not try to edit the whole thing!
1. God Exit You have to settle with God first. Your relationship with Him which has been damaged as a result of disobedience has to be repaired. This is done with a genuinely repentant heart.
“But if we freely admit our sins when his light uncovers them, he will be faithful to forgive us every time. God is just to forgive us our sins because of Christ, and he will continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
(1Jn 1:9, TPT)
God forgives!
However, you must make up your mind not to go back into that sin again.
After settling with God, the next is your spouse.
2. Spouse Exit This is the difficult part but very much necessary. You need that openness to demonstrate your honesty and resolve to change. Remember, however, that after disclosing it, you may be relieved, but for your spouse, a cycle of pain, and struggling with forgiveness just began. It might take a while to earn trust back. You must be careful not to break that fragile trust again.
3. Counsel Exit Here you need someone you are going to be accountable to who will also help you navigate the terrain of rebuilding trust and staying true to your resolve not to dabble into the murky waters of adultery again!
May God help you indeed!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I choose to cooperate with my spouse
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, help me to cooperate with my spouse
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 1 John 1:9 (BBE)If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

Confession For Today
September To Remember – Day 21
In the name of Jesus, I reject everything not in consonance with God’s plan for my life. I refuse to accept the workings of the devil over my life, relationship, marriage, finance etc. By the mercies of God, I break off my neck every evil yoke I have carried thus far. I reject whatever my God has not planted in me. Henceforth, I declare, I am no longer under the control of the devil and his cohorts. Sin shall no longer have dominion over me. As I wait on God, my power is increased. My inner strength is increased. I have the capacity to say NO to the things I do not want. I bind the devil and his agents sent to weary me and slow me down. I make tangible advancement in Jesus mighty name, Amen
