This morning, I’d like to share something crucial with husbands and wives. Of course, we’re all aware that marriage doesn’t magically work; it requires effort and commitment.
Secondly, the couple must be honest with themselves and be open with each other.
As I’ve said repeatedly over the years, insincerity invites the devil. We must not give the enemy of our souls any room!
Let’s take a look.
1Pe 3:6 (MSG) Sarah, for instance, taking care of Abraham, would address him as “my dear husband.” You’ll be true daughters of Sarah if you do the same, unanxious and unintimidated.
1Pe 3:7 (CEV) If you are a husband, you should be thoughtful of your wife. Treat her with honor, because she isn’t as strong as you are, and she shares with you in the gift of life. Then nothing will stand in the way of your prayers.
Addressing your husband is a crucial skill for every wife to learn. After all, respect is a significant concern for men. As devoted wives, developing effective ways to express your affection and admiration for him is essential. By doing so, you can create a stable and harmonious home environment. A good wife should make it a habit to praise and acknowledge her husband’s efforts and qualities regularly.
For husbands, the Bible advises honoring and delighting in their wives’ entire person, not just their physical appearance. It emphasizes the importance of treating your wife with respect, as this will not hinder your prayers. Furthermore, it encourages you to be thoughtful of her, ensuring that she is constantly on your mind.
When you treat each other with love and respect, the Bible assures us that nothing can stand in the way of your prayers.
Decide to commit to your marriage with a sense of covenant. Don’t undermine each other. Stay on the same page. Work together, and you’ll be able to accomplish many things together!
How about God doing something new in your relationship, marriage, and life? Well, that is exactly what God wants to do. That is one of the words God has given us!
Let’s check it out.
Isa 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
There are a few elements I’d like to highlight in the verse above. Let’s take a closer look.
1. BEHOLD
Isa 43:19 (KJV) Behold…
To behold means to see intently. To pay attention to. God needs you to focus on the new thing He is about to do!
2. I WILL DO
Isa 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do…
This is a statement of surety and not of hesitation. God has made up His mind, He has decided to do a new thing in your life and that is exactly what is going to happen.
3. NEW THING
Isa 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing;
A new thing signifies something fresh and novel, something you’ve never encountered before. It heralds the arrival of a new season, a new phase, and a fresh perspective in your life!
4. NOW
Isa 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now…
What God wants to do is now! Don’t postpone what God intends to do because of the natural limitations or your present situation. Now is the present moment! Believe in it!
5. SPRING FORTH
Isa 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;
I love the phrase “spring forth” because it suggests that there might not be any indication beforehand, but it will still happen because God said so!
Something great will spring forth for you in Jesus’ name!
6. SHALL YE NOT KNOW IT?
Isa 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?
This tells us that what God wants you to do requires your cooperation through your faith and realization. In other words, it is not left to God alone, but you need to come into awareness and cooperate with the force of heaven to do the new thing!
7. MAKE A WAY
Isa 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Lastly, God will make a way and manufacture rivers where there is none!
Are you ready to receive something new? This is the time and the moment. I declare that God will do a new thing in your relationship, marriage, and life this year in Jesus’ name! And it is starting now!
I intend to share with you one of the scriptures that God revealed to me as a young Christian this morning.
Praying this scripture opened me up to the supernatural. As if the curtains of the heavens were drawn, I became aware of many things, including His direction for my life and His specific desires for me at each moment.
Here is the scripture.
Jer 33:3 (KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
You know what I love about this? It’s the fact that God promised to answer your prayers immediately, without any delay.
Call upon me, and I will answer you…
Notice that He didn’t promise to fulfill your request, but He simply said He would answer your call!
He will respond! How will he respond?
He is going to reveal things to you!
Great Things! Mighty Things!
Which you don’t know.
The reality is that what you don’t know is more than what you know. Yet, what you know determines your progress in life.
God said He would show you!
Let’s take a look at other translations.
Jer 33:3 (MSG) ‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvellous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.’
Wondrous things and marvelous things that you can’t figure out alone, He said He will show you!
People of God, get ready for God this year to show you marvelous and wondrous things, and you will know it is God showing you because they are things you could not figure out on your own!
This will give you an advantage in life and propel you beyond your contemporaries!
I pray that this year will be a year of revelations and insights that will advance you massively in Jesus’ name!
Isa 60:22 (KJV) A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
Welcome to your best season yet. Welcome to the dawn of a new era that promises to be the best you’ve ever experienced on this side of the world.
Welcome to the year when significant events will occur rapidly in your favour!
Whenever God wants to communicate with His people, He sends them a message.
Well, we have the privilege and a rare opportunity to have received a prophetic instruction for the church, the ministry, and by extension to everyone who identifies with us in Kisses and Huggs Club and in Shouts of Grace Center.
Wow! The instructions are incredibly simple.
God has been incredibly gracious in revealing that 2025 will be a fantastic year for all of us. To manifest this, He has given us a daily commitment of one hour to Him in prayer and praise.
Essentially, we will be raising storms of prayer and praise to God daily! We will dedicate 30 minutes of our morning prayers to a “prayer storm” and 30 minutes of our nighttime prayers to a “praise storm.” We have named this initiative the Global Prayer and Praise Storm (GPPS).
You can join Prayer Storm and Praise Storm using these permanent links.
Prayer Storm begins at 6:00 AM WAT, followed by Praise Storm at 9:00 PM WAT.
There’s something truly special about being on God’s side. You can achieve effortless victory when others are succumbing to defeat or falling.
As we look ahead to the coming year, it’s hard not to feel uneasy. The global economic situation is not a cause for celebration. All signs point to a challenging and uncertain future.
However, you are aware that the scriptures have already foretold us about these challenging times.
Isa 60:1-2 (KJV) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. [2] For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
You are to arise and shine!
Don’t be afraid or let trepidation hold you back. The darker it gets, the brighter your light shines!
I particularly love the Amplified Version.
Isa 60:1-2 (AMPC) ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you–rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! [2] For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you.
You can rise to a new life in the coming days! You have the opportunity to transform your life in the coming days!
How do you stand tall when others are falling? How do you maintain your composure when others are losing their footing?
Psa 20:7-8 (KJV) Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. [8] They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
It is where you put your trust that matters!
Don’t join others in trusting in chariots, horses, man-made solutions, and inventions; rather, put your trust in God!
These are the times to remember the name of the Lord!
Take these Prayer Points:
I will not fall in Jesus’ name
My light will shine and will never be put out in Jesus’ name
Lord, teach me and grant me the grace to always trust in you, in Jesus’ name!
