Loving a Choleric Wife Without Shutting Her Down

Loving a Choleric Wife Without Shutting Her Down

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Choleric wives are energetic and creative. They never run out of ideas. They are full of boundless energy and they cannot sit in one place. Properly channeled, nurtured, and encouraged, they can fit into the energetic virtuous man described in the book of Proverbs

They are very independent, and they can act like they don’t need their husbands for anything.

She is productive, has the capacity to have several businesses running at the same time and she will usually climb to the zenith of her career if she chooses.

All these can come at a price to pay, however. The husband of the choleric woman is usually calm and cool. He is most probably of the opposite temperament, reserved and extremely laid back, almost translating into laziness.

This makes the choleric wife cranky most time because she can’t understand why her husband is so slow and demotivated.

But in reality, that slow, laid-back husband is often the backbone and encourager of the choleric wife especially when she is down and she cannot meet her goals in time.

The choleric woman is also bossy, almost looking like she is the one running the home in terms of decision-making. She needs to honor and respect her husband in this regard.

The husband of the choleric wife must be secured and allow his wife to function maximally with all her unending ideas that she never seems to run out of.

The husband must always remain calm, a hot-tempered husband cannot survive with a full-blooded choleric wife. That marriage will crash really fast. The husband has to be patient and lovingly teach his wife how to take life easy.

As they grow together lovingly, they will come to even understand themselves the more and understand why they act the way they do.

May God grant you both more understanding in Jesus name.

Help Pastor, My Heart Is Broken

Help Pastor, My Heart Is Broken

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Betty gave her all to that relationship. It was the very first time she would fall in love and it meant a lot to her. She saw nothing other than a glorious wedding, a blissful marriage, and wonderful children ahead. She fantasized herself being with Bode, loving each other as married couples.

She nearly failed her exam at a time because she was in love. The love was like drugs to her. She thought about nothing other than Bode. Her friends told her to slow down but she told them they were jealous and it was because theirs weren’t working.

“Nobody will mess up my romantic story,” she would say.

As time progressed, quarrels reared their heads. The love story began to develop unwanted twists that nearly ended the story abruptly. But she hung on.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was when Betty discovered that Bode was cheating on her with three different ladies, one of them being her best friend.

Her heart was shattered, scattered, and battered.

“All men are scum!” She said.

She went from anger into hurt and then bitterness. From there she entered acute feminism and she was beginning to sing that “marriage is not for me”

Have you ever find yourself in this kind of scenario? I have a word of the Lord for you this morning.

Even though you are hurting and bitter, God will heal your soul! Yes, He promised that!

HE RESTORETH MY SOUL: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Psa 23:3 (KJV)

He would not just heal your soul which is battered, He will restore it and reset it! Then He will now lead you into His God’s ordained plan for you maritally.

So when you are hurting, don’t stay in that hurt, go to God and let God do only what God can do.

I pray for you, healing and restoration will come to your soul in Jesus Name!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
My soul is restored in God.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Pray for your emotional healing

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Ps 23:3 (AMP) He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him — not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Take your hurting heart to God

Dear Couples, Avoid Nagging in Your Marriage

Dear Couples, Avoid Nagging in Your Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

There is a habit that is so unhealthy for any marriage. Do all you can to avoid it like a plague! It’s called Nagging!

One of the persons you should respect when he is offering marital advice is King Solomon. You will never be able to break his record. With a thousand women in his harem, no living human being has been able to break that record.

He was simply in a class of his own when it comes to women. He had them all and he would know a lot about them.

So he gave a piece of advice in the book of Proverbs.

It is better to dwell in a corner of the HOUSETOP, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Pro 21:9 (KJV)

The Message Translation puts it this way:

Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.

Pro 21:9 (MSG)

So, nagging can make a man relocate from his bedroom to the penthouse!

But that was in verse 9.

Suddenly in verse 19, like someone just hit with a revelation or who just woke up from slumber, he said

It is better to dwell in the WILDERNESS, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

Pro 21:19 (KJV) 

He must have remembered another one of his wives!

Here, he says nagging from an angry woman will not only drive a man to a penthouse but to a desert, a wilderness!

Nagging can be irritating and frustrating. The Message Translation says here

A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet;

Pro 27:15 (MSG)

If most men were sincere, they would tell you they often keep late at night and stay longer at work to avoid the nagging that might be waiting at home!

A wise wife will refrain from nagging!

Let me conclude by giving you a Dictionary definition of nagging

Adjective; continually faultfinding, complaining, or petulant: persistently recurring; unrelenting:

May God grant you more understanding!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I will cooperate with my spouse at all times.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Pray to God for a patient spirit.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Prov 21:9 (AMP) It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop [on the flat oriental roof, exposed to all kinds of weather] than in a house shared with a nagging, quarrelsome, and faultfinding woman.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Quit nagging your spouse!

What It Means To Please God By Pastor Dunamis (12th September 2021)

What It Means To Please God By Pastor Dunamis (12th September 2021)

Reading Time: < 1 minute

What It Means To Please God was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 12th of September 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:

Anchor Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:1-12

Everything repeats; there’s really nothing new under the sun. You must therefore seek to learn from the experiences of other people.

You can overcome whatever comes your way. There is no custom-made problem or affliction.

When you isolate yourself, you stay in desolation.

Anything that is a departure from what God asked you to do is evil.

Everybody is an influence, directly or indirectly, in their environment, family, church, office, etc. You are influencing people on a regular basis – people are admiring you; you desire to be like you. So you must live a life that is well pleasing to God.

Whatever you prioritize over God is your idol. Therefore anything can become your idol; it can be music, relationship, your spouse, job, ministry, food, sex, phone, etc.

You are not meant to love anything above the LORD, even your spouse.

Beware of the following, for God is displeased with them:

  • Lusting after evil
  • Idolatry
  • Tempting Christ: Living in habitual sin and still operating in the anointing. You preach against the very things you do.
  • Fornication
  • Murmuring
  • Discontentment

Murmuring can lead to death. You can be so involved in activities – looking so spiritual, singing, instrumentation, preaching, cleaning the church, ushering, etc. – and God may not be pleased with you. Is God please with you?
