How To Know When Your Marriage Needs Help

How To Know When Your Marriage Needs Help

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We all need help at some point or another. Needing help just shows that we are only humans and there is nothing to be ashamed of when we need help.

Some couples out of shame and not being sincere have sabotaged their marriage. In the physical, we have hospitals and Doctors to the sick. What of if the sick is ashamed and refuses to open up or go to the hospital? He simply die in his sickness.

Help is always available to whosoever will seek the necessary help when necessary.

In marriage too, we need help at different times for different reasons.

Your marriage may need help if these 5 signs are obvious in your marriage but of cause, it is not limited to these 5 things.

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

1. If the wife is always denying her husband sex either to punish him or get her way.
The need for sex in man is so enormous that this need has to be met. A man is satisfied and optimal condition when he has regular Jerusalem trips.

Yes, the wife could have a lot of reasons why they deny them but please this has to be talked about. Seek help through books or counselor. Don’t keep quiet, as this could be detrimental to your marriage.

2. When there is regular misunderstanding and strife that lingers.
Find the source of your constant quarrels and prayerfully get to the root of it.
Obviously, you will marry someone opposite of you. Your spouse will be of a different temperament to you. Try and accommodate your spouse excess while you grow up to maturity together.

To be continued…

God bless your marriage.

I seek the needed help when I need it.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Learn To Verbalize Your Love To Your Spouse

Learn To Verbalize Your Love To Your Spouse

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In marriage, our intentions don’t count as much as our actions. So verbalizing our affection to our spouse is very important. Learn To Verbalize Your Love To Your Spouse

It does something to the wife hearing from her husband that she is the best cook in the world. Honestly, she will want to live to the expectation of her husband and the name he has called her.

Of course, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Husbands also respond to words spoken to them by their wives. If you call your husband unromantic, you are right because the little ingenuity he has will be lost and he will be very unromantic. Call your husband romantic, and I believe he will go out of his way to see to it that he is more romantic. All in all, we all respond to words whether negatively or positively.

There is a king and a beast inside every husband. It is the one you call that will come forth. As wives, we should always try to call and address the one that makes you happier. Some wives address the beast and their husbands behave like one.

Also, inside every wife is wisdom, folly, a queen, virtues as well as a beast. Address the one you want. Not just occasional but learn to do it always. If you want the queen, then address her gently and with sweetness. You will see her behavior change.

This is a principle in marriage that I believe God wants us to practice.

In Genesis, where the first marriage existed, we saw Adam using the same principle.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Gen 2:23-24

In verse 23, God was the one that took a rib from Adam and made a woman, but it was Adam that spoke up and called the woman bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh.

He called her my intimate friend, the one that is like me, the one who meets all my needs perfectly like no one else would. As a result of his confession, the cleaving process was now possible and then they could become one flesh.

The principle is very simple but it requires our commitment.

Say good things that you want to see and believe God has put inside your spouse and you will begin to see your spouse manifest such.

God bless your marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I speak positive words to my spouse.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
God teach me how to love my spouse with all my heart

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Gen 2:23 [TLB] “This is it!” Adam exclaimed. “She is part of my own bone and flesh! Her name is ‘woman’ because she was taken out of a man.”

Dear Couple, Enjoy Yourselves Now

Dear Couple, Enjoy Yourselves Now

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Bible says husbands enjoy the wife of their youth. This means enjoying yourself while you have strength as a young couple. Don’t be too serious at home and learn to live together as best friends. Don’t allow the pressure of finances, raising children, in-laws, and others to destabilize your togetherness.

Your spring water is for you and you only, not to be passed around among strangers. Bless your fresh-flowing fountain! Enjoy the wife you married as a young man! Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose — don’t ever quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love for granted! Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a whore? for dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?

Prov 5:17-21 [MSG]

Between the two of you, one person will be more playful. Let the playful one take the initiative and the other follows suit.

The Holy Spirit knows what He’s saying when He says enjoy the wife of your youth. Be deliberate in making each other happy. Do not make others outside your home or marriage happy at the expense of your spouse.

Learn To Overlook Your Spouse’s Weaknesses

Learn To Overlook Your Spouse’s Weaknesses

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The ability to enjoy whatever God has given to us despite imperfections is the maturity that takes for happiness in life and marriage. It is in loving our spouse unconditionally that makes marriage beautiful and fulfilling. We all have so many buts, we can choose to or choose not to consider in our spouse.

The Bible says love covers a multitude of sins. It means if we choose to walk in love, we can ignore or better still, hand our spouse’s flaws to God.

This prayer becomes handy; Lord give us the Grace to change the things we can change and the courage to leave the ones we cannot.

When we hand over such things to God, we should know that God is capable of handling them in His own way. Once in God’s hands, we should rest and trust in His love.

What most people do is that they give God and then collect it back. God knows what best to do to change a man. There is no overnight transformation. Even God appreciates the process of gradual change or transformation.

Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.

Rom 12:2 GNB

Am I asking us to keep quiet and suffer in silence? No. Neither am I justifying wrong behaviors or any character flaws or defects. Most of the character flaws we see in marriage were already there as singles. It only became amplified in marriage.

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

An irresponsible man had always had those tendencies. It was only fully expressive in marriage.

If we will not focus on the temperamental differences of our spouse, we would have done well.

So far as what we complain about are our differences, fear not. God will always see us through. The opposite will always attract. You found yourself attracted to your spouse and eventually married him/her because he was different from you.

If you are a fast person, you will be attracted to a quiet, easy-going person. A serious person will marry a playful person. It is these same differences that later repels, annoys and, gets us aggravated.

Some couples say, I love my spouse but she talks too much, but she is lazy, but she is careless. I love my spouse but he is aggressive, but he works too much, we can’t even go for vacation….and on and on.

What we should do is appreciate and thank God for the difference. Know that God put the differences there so you can accomplish much in your marriage. Try and let love, understanding, and patience have their full course in your lives.

You have to understand that neither you nor your spouse is correct or wrong, it is just about being wired differently, having different opinions, and seeing things from different viewpoint and perspectives.

So if you are hoping and thinking, ‘I love my spouse, but…’, you have to begin to remove the ‘but’ from your marital dictionary and begin to love your spouse despite their faults. Learn to forgive and forgive fast.  Never allow issues to linger for long before seeking to forgive. Don’t allow ego or pride to finish your marriage.

I know a couple whose marriage is fast heading for the rocks. The wife has chosen to believe she is right and is waiting for her husband to come rolling on the floor begging. The husband too is unwilling to bend, saying she is fond of doing that and that he is tired of begging.

The wife has refused to listen to counsel. It is their differences that the devil wants to use to scatter their marriage. We are to walk through our differences allowing God to mature us.

May God bless our marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I love my spouse and my sin covers his/her flaws

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, help me enjoy the wife of my youth

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

The Power of Mentoring Among Couples

The Power of Mentoring Among Couples

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Power of Mentoring Among Couples

One of the foundational ingredients of a successful marriage is being under authority. By authority, I mean good authority because it is possible for someone to be under a negative authority.

It is good when your spouse has someone or people (not too many) that he/she listens to. The importance of this cannot be overemphasized. You should at least have a spiritual authority figure that can speak into your lives as a couple.

When you have questions or you have hot arguments, there must be someone you can run to, someone who loves you enough to correct your wrong and give you the right direction.

This has been the undoing of so many marriages. They have decided to live like an island. There are no custom-made issues in marriage. The problems in marriage are common to all marriages. They may come in a different flavor but basically, they are the same things.

You take the pressure off your marriage when you have someone you can talk to and most importantly, LISTEN to.

The person has to be considered a mentor because he/ she is considered older, more experienced, and more spiritual.

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

Your mentors may not be your parents because it has been discovered that parents could be sentimental in their judgments.

You don’t have to learn from experience. Learn by the wisdom of your mentors. There are a lot of things we assume we know, but we do not know as we ought to know.

So many marriages are achieving below their marital potential. They have denied themselves their great destiny potential because they feel they can handle stuff by themselves.

Even Jesus had to grow, had to be subject to his parents, had to be taught, and had teachers.

I remember an issue we had a while ago. It was so knotty, it was as if the devil was ready to throw in confusion and disagreement into our home. Thank God for our mentors, it was not so much of what was said, it was their intercession for us that solved the issue.

So don’t be afraid of sharing your problems. Some think they have not solved their own problems before they are solving other people’s problems. That’s being childish. Is like saying a doctor is not qualified to help the sick because he has malaria himself.

A doctor is graced and anointed with the wisdom and knowledge to help the sick. Of course, if he doesn’t apply the same principles he is giving to the sick to himself, he will be sick and have to use the same medicine he is prescribing to his patient.

God bless your marriage

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I am humbled to listen to the counsel of my mentors.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
God give a listening ear and a receiving heart

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Pro 24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Change Your Mind, Change Your Marriage

Change Your Mind, Change Your Marriage

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We change so many things in life. We change our cloths, shoes, bags, makeup, etc.

We even change our friends, change our cars, change our jobs, change our houses, change our location, change our addresses etc.

The one most important thing we should change is our mind. Our minds are so important. It dictates and  affects everything we do.

Inside our minds lies the seat of our emotions, intellect and will.

Our minds are responsible for our thinking which informs our feelings which eventually informs our actions.

That’s the Bible says as a man thinketh in his heart so he is. Pro 23:7

If you don’t gird the loins of your heart or mind as the bible advise in 1 Pet 1: 13,  you will allow all manner of junks in your minds.

We cannot allow our minds to be a refuse dump for all manner of thoughts to just fly into. 

Assumptions that are not true or are half true.

The devil puts strongholds in our minds to gain control over our minds and our final actions. He gains control over our lives this way. Like you gain control over a dog you put on a chain. You decide where it goes and where it doesn’t.

Strongholds are strong arguments with evidences to back them up. These strongholds are like walls in our minds.

Bible tells us what we should do to these strongholds. It tells us to constantly destroy strongholds.

For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,

1 Cor 10:4-5 AMP

 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; 

and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)

We destroy strongholds, refute arguments, and lead every thought captive to the obedience of what the bible says. 

All these we do by taking charge of our minds and being in control.

As married couples, the devil seeks to throw husbands and wives apart. He seeks to gain control and dictates what we think which is usually wrong. He seeks to destroy the unity and harmony in our marriage. 

We should refuse him by not cooperating with him. That’s why we have to change our minds. 

In 2Tim 2:16, bible says we should shun profane and vain babblings for they will increase ungodliness.

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

In our marriage, we are to shun vain babblings of the devil in our minds through friends, families, our feelings etc. We are to focus on building our marriage and building unity and harmony.

Shun every arguements that have strong evidences. The evidences are so strong you can almost vouch for them. 

Anything that is from base on love or that is not based on what bibles we should think on, don’t entertain them in your thoughts against your spouse. Choose to follow the way of love.

For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].  

Phil 4:8 AMP

I pray God will strengthen us to begin to break every negativity in our minds that is standing in our way of being united as couples in Jesus mighty name.

God bless your marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I give priority to meditating on God’s word and so my mind is renewed and transformed.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, help me to always keep my mind on things that are true, pure, just, and gracious.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Philippians 4:18, AMP For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].  

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
What are the wrong notions that you think you have about marriage. Go into God’s word to find out the truth about that situation

How To Respond In Love In Our Marriage

How To Respond In Love In Our Marriage

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It is not just the wife that needs to be schooled on how to respond, husbands also need to know how to respond in a way that is not offensive.

We all come from various backgrounds and as said a number of times, our background usually affects the way we behave, our value and almost every other thing.

Some of us have the bad habit of responding in ways that may boomerang into a negative behavior from our spouse. Example, some give the silence treatment, some respond in anger, some with tears, some by shouting, some by being judgmental, critical, shaming and rejecting their spouse.

It should be noted that it is our response to our spouse’ verbal and non verbal communication that will inform whether the communication will be sustained or not or whether it will turn to an argument.

My husband talks more and plays more than I do. He used to tell me that I give him the silence treatment. I had to be schooled that not only is silence treatment rude, it is so unpleasant. I had to change my behavior.

Change is the only constant thing and we must not be rigid but always willing to change. We change to suit our spouse and our spouse also changes to suit us. That is the work that marriage entails.

We can get away with some of our negative responses based on our spouse temperament. You can’t compare how a Choleric will react to how a Sanguine will react to a negative response.

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

For every single issue, event, situation and circumstances there is always a good or bad response. We should always keep in mind that in every situation we should learn to be pleasant and be a Christian at least, lol.

We should allow our responses to reveal the fruits of the spirit within us.

Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Husbands and wives be gentle with each other. Being a man doesnt mean you cannot be gentle.

Let us as wives to willing to suffer long with our husband. When the resources are not enough, let us be found still standing by our husbands. When things get better they will respect us forever,( for men that are sane).

Don’t let our response by that of complaint like Jobs wife

Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

What will inform our good responses all of the time is the help of God. We all need God’s help not to blow it. If we do miss the mark we should not build a tabernacle there. Let’s be quick to ask for forgiveness and learn from our mistake.

Let us understand that our response has the ability to hurt our spouse deeply. Our response matters a lot.

My husband told me how much my response affects him and either gives him the energy to pursue or to give up.

Imagine if Dave Meyer has responded to Joyce Meyers call to Ministry in a non Challant way, how would Joyce be so impactful?

Let’s be careful, lest we be found guilty of being an hinderance to our husbands or wives fulfilling purpose and destiny.

May God help us.

God bless our marriage

Confession of the day
I walk in the spirit and not in the flesh, so I respond well to my spouse

This is Why You Must Honor Your Marriage Vow

This is Why You Must Honor Your Marriage Vow

Reading Time: 2 minutes

What makes a marriage powerful is not the living together of a man and a woman under the same roof. It is the sacred vows shared on the wedding day.

What makes the vows powerful was that it was said before God.

Many don’t even realize the sacredness of what they were doing exchanging marriage vows. A marriage covenant was enacted the moments those vows were said to each other and more so, God being a witness to the vows.

There is no marriage without an officiating minister conducting the marriage. In fact, the priest has to read the vows for the intending couples. The presence of the priest, representing God and doing the joining, proves that God is involved in the union.

Mal 2:15 [KJV] And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

Mal2:16 [Amp] For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment [his wife] with violence. Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit [that it may be controlled by My Spirit], that you deal not treacherously and faithlessly [with your marriage mate].

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

God put a lot of premium on treating your spouse well in marriage. Not only is God against cheating but everything that is an appearance of evil.

Dealing with your spouse treacherously also means not having an understanding of your spouse’s temperament and love language.

God asks us in order to fulfill our marital vows to watch our spirit and let it be controlled by His Spirit. When we are controlled by God’s Spirit, we will not walk in the flesh.

Such things as anger tantrums, silent treatment, criticizing, shaming, conterminous your spouse will not be there. Rather we will look out and fulfill our roles as leaders (for husbands) and helpmates (as wives)

Even God recognizes the fact that it takes Him by His Spirit to help us. The marital journey can never be fulfilled on our own.

Seek God’s help in every area. Whatever is the peculiar need of your spouse, receive Grace to satisfy it. Remember, your spouse will always to the opposite of you.

Some spouses complain my wife/husband like Jeru trip too much, my spouse is too shy, my spouse is too slow, my spouse is tight-fisted, my spouse is careless, my spouse is too spiritual, my spouse likes food too much etc, the list goes on and on

Remember, God has equipped you with whatever your spouse needs, just as whatever will fulfill your own needs he will meet. You have what it takes to satisfy your spouse. Use it well. It could be demanding but do it anyway rejoicing.

God bless our marriage

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I will love my spouse rightly.

Three Things Every Couple Needs – Part 2

Three Things Every Couple Needs – Part 2

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Three Things Every Couple Needs – Part 2

Yesterday, we started this topic. If you missed the devotional, you can read it HERE

What are the three things every husband or wife wants?

1. Prayers

2. Words of affirmation

3. Jeru trip

Lets take these items one by one.

1. Prayers
There is so much you can pray for about your spouse.  The issue is that you won’t know until you decide to start praying for him/her.

You have to remain prayed up for your spouse. Let no day pass without you bringing them before the throne of Grace and Mercy. Not just a general prayer but specific prayers.

You can have a prayer journal where you follow up on your prayers intelligently. You won’t know how much you are short circuiting God’s favor, mercy, goodness etc until you start praying for each other.

2. Words of affirmation
There is no one that doesn’t appreciate some good words. We thrive on words and so some good, encouraging words would help us when we are overwhelmed by life.

Learn to speak into the life of your spouse. Declare Gods words over him/her. Take authority over the devil and any depressive spirit around them.

Encourage your spouse, celebrate him/her when they have done something good, praise and eulogize them. This will encourage them to do better.

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

3. Jeru trip
This is essential because any marriage lacking in good and intimate Jeru trip has been reduced to a club or association. Intimacy in marriage is achieved when both can be naked and not ashamed, where you can lay bare everything.

Jeru trip in marriage keep couples healthy spirit, soul and body. It releases tension and renews energy and creativity to move on.

Remember, your spouse needs you.

God bless our marriage!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I pray for my spouse and encourage him/her with my words.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, help me sow good seeds into my marriage

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Ephesians 5:31. (KJV) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Make a decision to do these 3 things

Three Things Every Couple Needs

Three Things Every Couple Needs

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Every once in a while, every husband and wife needs these three things. It basically takes care of most of the needs we have.

My husband is very busy and I’m sometimes amazed at how he joggles many things together. The mere fact that he never went to any computer school nor had any formal training and he knows so much keeps me amazed.

He designs the KHC website and other sites and manages all our outfit online including our podcasts. Sometimes, he has to research all by himself for days and sometimes burn the night candle to get things done.

He also has a church to take care of, bills to pay and a family to look after. He also has stay at the cutting edge of ministry which involves a lot of prayers and studying God’s word.

As his wife, I have to provide the most conducive environment for him to function at an ultimate level, avoid strife and be very understanding.

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

I most confess here, I do fall short of my responsibilities at times, but thank God for His Spirit and Grace that always helps me.

My husband has to teach me and tell me how important my support is to him.

I also feel we are meant to create the support system our spouses need. Husbands to wives and wives to husbands, we all need these support systems if not, the purpose of marriage is defeated.

Tomorrow, I would share just three of these support we can give each other at any given time.

God bless your marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I pray for my spouse and encourage him/her with my words.

The Five Magic Words Every Couple Should Know

The Five Magic Words Every Couple Should Know

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I was thinking about why they are called magic words. Are they really magical in the use of them or they are merely nursery rhymes, we learnt when growing up?

I believe these words are truly magical. Just as the Bible says that soft answers turn away wrath

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Pro 15:1

In marriage, words are so important because in marriage what we do basically is talk. We express our feeling, our emotions, our thoughts, our insecurities, and all these could either be positive or negative.

Communication is however not complete until what we are saying is understood by the other party.  Ninety percent of the quarrels in marriage can and would be avoided if we follow the Bible injunction of using soft answers.

Couples who have mastered the art of speaking in certain ways or using certain phrases in their marriage have been more successful in avoiding strife.

It really works, when my husband and I started saying to ourselves, ‘I cannot fight you, we are one and we are joined together. It helped us better resolve whatever was bothering us.

As insignificant as these words seem, their effects on the hearer work wonders. Remember, God will not come down to help us speak to our spouse. We have to learn the art of being pleasant, speaking calmly, and avoiding harsh words.

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

Of course, we are not restricted to just these five words:

1. I am sorry

2. Thank you

3. Please

4. Excuse me

5. Pardon me

We can adapt these words in our different situations. Let learn to stop, calm down before we speak. Don’t let us be rash in our speaking and with our tongue. Let us learn better ways to communicate better.

We can say the same things in several different ways. Let’s also watch our tone and our body language. Respect is important to guys and any form of disrespect, they frown at it immediately.

Dear husband, your wife is an emotional being and they respond to words.

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

Psa 55:21

If your words are kind and soft, you will get a better reaction from her. You cannot get the best from your wife if you keep shouting at her and throwing commands at her as though she is your servant.

Make your marriage better by speaking to yourselves more kindly.

God bless our marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I speak with my spouse kindly and respectfully

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
I receive help to bridle my tongue

How To Handle Overwhelming Situations In Marriage

How To Handle Overwhelming Situations In Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

How To Handle Overwhelming Situations In Marriage

1. Focus on the blessings of being married

Just because you have a headache is not enough reason you should wish your head were cut off. We all know that the benefits of having a head sitting on your neck far outweigh having a headache.

2. Take time out when you notice a burnout

A burnout could mean that you are driving yourself hard too much and need to slow down a bit. Taking time to relax could be as often as daily and as simple as laying down on your bed undisturbed with your favorite music, doing something you love or simply, having thanksgiving. You will surely feel refreshed, especially in your marriage.

3.  Enjoy your own spouse and children

Learn to enjoy yourself with your family and you will see the feeling of being overwhelmed will go. Learn to laugh and play, and your joy will return. You will find your strength renewed and find new reasons to love again.

Have you registered for KHC Couples’ camp meeting yet? It is going to be awesome! Go HERE if you have not done so.

4. Thanksgiving

It is high time we know that thanksgiving brings God’s presence. We make warfare with our thanks. Thanksgiving opens doors to the heavenlies.

Depressive feelings are often entering point or invitation to demonic operations that are responsible for draining our strength.

The Bible actually put it like this, ‘The joy of the Lord is our strength’.

I hope this has been helpful.

God bless your marriage!

Two Important Things Every Wife Should Know

Two Important Things Every Wife Should Know

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Two Important Things Every Wife Should Know

Sometimes, our husband hammering on our weakness may be what we need to continually draw us to our knees to talk to God.

Our husbands, most of the time, their aim is never to hurt us but maybe their approach is the best for us based on our temperament.

Whichever way, two things are important:

1. Be wise enough like the old cow to eat the hay and spew the straw.

Look beyond his method and pick his wisdom in correcting you.

Grow beyond the hurt and embrace his wisdom.

2. Be teachable, humble, and meek.

The Pharisees couldn’t benefit from Jesus because they were unteachable and too full of pride. Humbly accept his correction and rebuke.

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

We all had parents whose approach in dealing with us was not totally correct, but once we accept their method, we are better for it.

So, wives, you are not alone. It’s all part of the package. Sometimes, we may not be appreciated or understood. Never mind, our reward is sure. And you know what? God, Himself is our shield and exceeding great reward.

God bless our marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I am a faithful wife, humble, meek, and teachable

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, help me to humbly receive my husband as my head and submit to him

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Rom 8:28 For we know that all things work together for good for those that love the Lord.

Do These Things And Make Your Spouse Happy

Do These Things And Make Your Spouse Happy

Reading Time: 2 minutes

1. Accept your spouse and never attempt to change him/her. 

If one has to be happy, one must make up one’s mind, that no matter what, I must keep my joy in place.

Some marriages are very problematic and require extra effort to stay happy.

All in all, every marriage has its own peculiar problem and each one has to do certain things just to stay and remain happy.

2. Be contented with whatever you have per time

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

1Ti 6:6  KJV

Bible says there is great gain in being content, with being godly. Why? Because with your godliness, your situation will eventually change for the better.

You may start out with your spouse from not enough, not being able to afford the basic necessities of life, just hold on to the Lord. Most of the great men of God you see today had stories of humble beginnings.

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

Be content with your husband or wife’s temperament. Know that her weaknesses are good for you because the other temperament you admire so much, also has a weakness you will never be able to cope with.

3. Find a reason to laugh every day

No matter what life throws at you, laugh. I know it is easier said than done. Life has to be approached by doing what has to be done no matter whether it is convenient or not.

A good hearty laugh is a healthy medicine.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Pro 17:22 KJV

4. Be grateful and thankful that you have a family

One of the things that keep anyone happy is having a grateful attitude.

The truth of the matter is that you will have more things to thank God for than you can ever imagine. Take time out to be thankful for yourself, your spouse, and all the so-called ‘little victories’ you have.

Be grateful for each day. The gift of life, for the air you breadth and all the things we so take for granted.

5. Forgive your spouse easily

Not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting the other person that offended you to die. This will never happen. The effect of the poison will always be on the one who drank the poison,

Learn to forgive easily and quickly. Not forgive and then hold your spouse in strife and malice and don’t talk to your spouse again.

Marriage is for two great forgivers. When you forgive you are lighter in your spirit and happier because you can have a free flow of the spirit and then you enjoy the joy of salvation.

Wisdom, understanding, and peace can also access your spirit when you are void of unforgiveness.

Do these five things and you will see that you are a more happy person. Not that your situation will change immediately, but you will have peace with yourself.

God bless your marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I am a happy person and am full of life

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, help me to embrace those things that make me truly happy.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Pro 17:22 KJV A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Do these things and watch your marriage transform

How To Embrace Wisdom For Your Marriage

How To Embrace Wisdom For Your Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

There are certain rules that govern the affairs of any successful marriage. These rules or laws can be applied by any person. That is why someone who is not a Christian can have a good marriage if she/he applies these rules. That is the secret of some of our old parents who despite all, kept their marriage.

Wisdom such as

* When angry don’t talk.

* Calm down and don’t overreact

* When one person is angry the other person should try and keep calm

* A soft response always saves the day.

* Good food is the way to a man’s heart

All these are natural wisdom but have their root in biblical truths.

Let’s check out two of these biblical facts and truth.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Gal 5:16 [KJV]

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Rom 8:1

It is actually in the marriage that you can practice walking in the spirit the most. That’s why it is said that marriage is for the spiritual and the matured.

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

When we say you should be spiritual, it is for your good and for the good of your marriage.

Man has no original thoughts. Every thought is either from the devil or from God. When you are spiritually minded, you mind the things that pertain to God.

If you are carnally minded, you mind the things that pertain to the flesh. So you walk in the flesh when you give mind to the thoughts of the flesh.

For example, your flesh wants to curse, fume, and fight back when you are abused and pushed to the wall. Your flesh wants to fight to finish and have to last word.

Whereas, when you are spiritually minded and led by the spirit of God and yield to the dictates of the spirit, you want to do things that are contrary to what your flesh wants you to do.

It is actually wise to be controlled and allow yourself to be influenced by the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit dictates to us how to live and we yield to Him, we experience peace and joy. He makes all things work together for our good.

When the Holy Spirit leads us to pray instead of talking back in anger, when he tells us to smile back at our spouses’ rude response, when we find the strength to labor out of love and not out of annoyance etc then God can work on our behalf to give us a miracle in our home and marriages

May God give us the strength to always yield and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit in our marriages.

God bless our marriage!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I walk in the spirit and so I do not walk according to the dictates of my flesh

PRAYERS FOR THE DAY
Lord, help me to continually follow after your voice in Jesus name

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Walk in the Spirit

How To Celebrate Yourself In Marriage

How To Celebrate Yourself In Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Yes, you’ve got to celebrate yourself on your way to becoming better. God thinks you are a big deal, so don’t let the devil suggest to you otherwise.

You are very special to God and He loves you so much. Stop focusing on your failures and shortcomings. God understands our frail humanity. He knows our daily struggle against sin and the devil.

God says we should confess and repent of our sins and He will forgive us and remember them no more. He will blot out our sins and it will be like we never committed any sin.

That is good news. No matter how bad we may have been, God forgives and gives us another chance until we get it. God never gives up on us, instead, He celebrates us.

We should learn to enjoy the love, goodness, and mercy of God. A songwriter calls it the ‘overwhelming, never-ending love, reckless love of God. God’s love is so extravagant and reckless.

He pours His love and His power to forgive us in a reckless manner. We should take time to celebrate this love because we are the object of His love. In all of creation, He chose us as the focus of His love.

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

Celebrate your victories no matter how little they are. Learn to pause and thank God because He has a plan for your life. He is taking you somewhere glorious and He is not done with you.

As you celebrate yourself, it becomes easy for you to celebrate your spouse and what God is doing in their lives as well.

All of us are a work in progress. God does not make failures and so we are sure we are not going to fail.

As you trust God to become better and to move on to maturity in the things of God, celebrate yourself and give thanks to God. This attitude of celebration is needed to keep us going.

God bless our marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I celebrate myself and my spouse and keep rejoicing.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, help me focus on what you are doing in my life.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Ps 139:14[NKJV] I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

Some Helpful Hints For Your Marriage – Part 3

Some Helpful Hints For Your Marriage – Part 3

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Most of the time, we get so much information that we do not care to be grounded in what we think we know and sometimes, head knowledge is different from real knowledge. You don’t know something until you are doing it.

So please don’t get itching ears as the Bible says for just what’s new. Let’s take time to be grounded and think about what I am writing about.

We have looked at

1. Know your spouse’s temperament

2. Don’t take each other for granted.

We will look at:

3. Don’t waste your energy being overly angry at your spouse.

We all get angry at our spouses. Our spouses do things we consider childish, silly, stupid, annoying, disobedient, etc, but please don’t fuss over any matter for so long.

The Bible told us to be angry but not to sin. Let the sun not go down on your anger.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Eph 4:26 

When we have these negative emotions, they do more harm than good. We are to forgive our spouse and not allow a root of bitterness.

Don’t let us dwell on the negative things they do. If not we give place to the devil and we will allow unforgiveness, hatred, suspicions, malice, wrath, etc

Anger in marriage weakens our bonds in marriage. We all can testify to the time we were angry at our spouses and would not talk to them. Sometimes, we are even on the same bed but wouldn’t talk to each other.

You may feel justifiable but you know what, little demons are rejoicing and having a nice time in your home and marriage. If this is not controlled on time, it may lead to some other negative effects.

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

Take time to think about what we are angry about. Really some of the time, it is not worth it. We want to get rid of as many negative emotions as possible from our lives.

Be angry if you must be but please get over it on time and move on to becoming a better person with a good attitude. After all, we are all a work in progress.

May God grant us more understanding.

God bless our marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
We root out negative emotions from our marriage

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Help me, Lord to extend Mercy to my spouse in forgiveness

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Eph 4:26  Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Some Helpful Hints For Your Marriage – Part 2

Some Helpful Hints For Your Marriage – Part 2

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We started yesterday on this topic and we have looked at

1. Know your spouses temperament:

This will reduce a lot of tension, hurt and frustrations in marriage.

Today, we will be looking at

2. Don’t take yourselves for granted.

Our needs differ from each other. Part of the reasons we married was for companionship. We have to be gentle and patient when dealing with each other.

We must take time off our busy schedule to be with each other. Just sit around your spouse and talk.

Talking could be therapeutic and prevent certain bodily ailments. Before any issue gets out of hands, we should have talked about it.

Let nothing mean more than our spouses. Some have valued business, office projects, friends, money, party etc more than our spouse.

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

Every other thing we achieve and do, the wealth we amass and the associate or business partner we get will all leave us, but the one person who will faithfully stay with us is our spouse.

Let us all build long lasting and strong relationship of love, respect and understanding. It is going to take hard work on our part but on the long run it will be worth it.

Take time to know the state of your spouse. Some people just sleep and wake up together, they don’t know their spouse, their challenges or what is going on with them.

If and when our relationship with our spouse is good and cordial, God will ensure that we prosper. The Holy Spirit will grant us the wisdom and give us divine connections to prosper us.

God help us all as we make efforts to meet each other’s needs.

God bless our marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Some Helpful Hints For Your Marriage

Some Helpful Hints For Your Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

So many times our marriage is not what we would have wanted it to be.

Most of us have childhood dreams of a wonderful family, loving and understanding spouse, a beautiful peace to live in and everything rosy.

In our imagination of marriage and family life, we never dreamt or thought of hardship, lack, quarrels, arguments and problems. We sometimes think to ourselves, ‘I never bargained for this in marriage’.

God never promised us that life (marriage inclusive) was going to be a smooth ride. He only promised us ‘he will be with us’.
He said ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’ Heb 13:5

He has promised us all that we need to weather the storm. He promised wisdom, Grace, peace, His word, the blood of Christ etc. But we have to make up our minds to use all these.

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 few helpful hints you can use as a married couple

1. Know your spouses temperament.

I will suggest every couple read about temperaments. Know what your temperament is and endeavor to know your spouse temperament is.

You cannot run away from who you are. You can only improve on it and become spirit controlled temperament.

I remember reading TimLahaye, it literally changed the way I saw myself and my husband.
I know why I behave the way I do and I know why my husband behave the way he does. Knowing your temperaments, you can now work on improving yourself.

Joyce Meyer put it like this, “we are all a work in progress and we can enjoy our lives and marriage on our way to becoming a better you”

I will continue tomorrow by God’s Grace.
God bless our home and marriages.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I am becoming a better me.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Give me understanding oh Lord.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

How To Mind Your Business In Marriage

How To Mind Your Business In Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We must have heard someone telling us to mind our business. We have always thought it to mean focusing our attention on our own business. Well, there is more to this than just focusing on your own business.

I will like to give attention to engaging our minds in unleashing the unlimited power embedded in our minds. I once read a caption many years ago that read, ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste’. This caption is very true and we need to find ways of putting our minds to help us in achieving our expected goals as it relates to our marriage.

Our minds seats our thoughts, and our thoughts have a lot to do with the outcome of our marriage. No matter how loving your spouse is and how much they are trying their best to make you happy, your thoughts can work against you.

The difference between what you are experiencing now and what you desire to see in your relationship is in the way you have been using your mind.

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

Check out the kind of conversations you have with yourself. What is your monologue like?

If you have thoughts like ‘I will never be happy in this marriage’, ‘ My spouse does not understand me’, I will end up heart-broken”, we can never be happy together, ‘I am trying so hard to please him/her but we are so different’, and so on, such thoughts will never make you enjoy the bliss of marriage.

You have to replace these thoughts of defeat with that of winning and victory. Be intentional about living. Focus and reprogram your mind to have that marriage of your dreams. Focus on a specific vision, be committed to it, pursue it, and be resolute because it is achievable.

Purposeful living is engaging your mind to live intentionally in your marriage.

God bless your marriage.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY

I will give attention to my marriage.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Pray for Grace to ‘mind your marriage.’

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Romans 12:2 [KJV]And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Review your thought pattern in light of the above.
