Ten Things That Keep Couples Together

Have you seen couples married for over 15 years? One thing that strikes you is that they begin to look alike. There's just something that makes them closer and begins to look alike. Well, it's not a fast and hard rule that couples who have been together for years should look alike. I guess that is the reason why the bible says, the two shall become one flesh. I guess they truly become one flesh in the real sense of the word. The truth is that, if you want to remain close and knitted together, there are some things you…

Don’t Let Joy Wither From Your Marriage

Today's topic is very important, And I want you to give it rapt attention, "Don't let joy wither from your marriage". I know you are a perfectionist. You like to fix everything and everybody. You don't like things out of order. You feel the compulsion to fix your spouse. They have to be in a certain way. Eat in a certain way, laugh a certain way, or talk in a certain way.  Oga, free yourself! You are not the Holy Ghost. You cannot change anybody so don't kill yourself trying. You are sensitive. If things don't go the way you…

How To Maintain The Spiritual Glow As A Couple

One of the most difficult things to do is to try and maintain the spiritual glow now that you are married. Before marriage, my husband would read about 40 chapters of the bible, pray in tongues for hours and practice the presence of God. Apart from the fact that he is a pastor and must study and pray, all those times given to reading 40 chapters are no longer there. When you are a married couple your time just seemed to be shared. It is no longer your time. The home is there, the kids are there to take care,…

How To Experience Fruitfulness In Your Marriage

This morning I prophesy to you, the womb of your life shall not be empty. Receive the power to experience fruitfulness in your marriage in the name of Jesus This prayer is not just for married women only looking for the fruit of the womb but for every man and woman who wants to be fruitful, to multiply and to fulfill destiny in life. God abhors fruitlessness and you will see God in scriptures opening wombs and causing them to conceive and bear children. I am persuaded this morning that if you are trusting God for your own miracle child,…

How To Receive A Happy Marriage

Many of us have some unpleasant things going on in our marriages. We may have been praying for a long time for God to answer our prayers. We may be frustrated about God not answering our prayers. I don't know if you have been there before. A friend came to visit me and she told me when discussing that it’s a man’s world. For wives, in our marriage, we always feel that way. We have to go through God in prayers for God to speak to our husbands before we have some of our desires. That is the process for…

Let The Beams of Your Marriage Be Cedars

Imagine two love birds intending to get married. They are so much in love. And then comes a time, when the parents of the bride wants to know where the intending groom lives, and as a consequence where their daughter will be domiciled. And then he proudly leads them to his house, a makeshift shaft, tent-like material supported with tiny sticks which can collapse anytime. Right there and then, the parents will change their mind. Jesus spoke about a house built on sand and the other built on the rock. If you were to choose one, which will you choose?…

In the Beginning, It was Not So – Part 2

So today, let's ask ourselves what did God say about our marriage? Do we see anything in our marriage right now that is not meant to be so? Are there things in our marriage that are aberration to what God said in the beginning? Hear what is written concerning you and your marriage from the beginning: And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be…

In The Beginning, It Was Not So

This is a particular statement "In the beginning, it was not so" was declared by Jesus Christ our Lord, when He was asked if husbands could put away their wives, treat them anyhow, or not be compassionate to them. He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Matthew 19:8 KJV Jesus was and is qualified to talk about the beginning because He was there at the beginning of all things. He was there when the heavens and the earth were being…

Dear Couple, It’s Fruitfulness and Nothing Less!

God’s first words to Adam and all of humanity, encapsulated in the loins of Adam is “Be Fruitful!” How encouraging and strengthening that is! Let your imagination run free! Adam, in his huge frame stood before the Almighty! God in his divinely amplified voice, (I guess it will be loud and soothing at the same time) massively reverberating to the very core of Eden, proclaimed over Adam and in effect over you and I “Be Fruitful! Hey! Your marriage is blessed! Irrespective of the antics and attacks of the enemy of our soul, God’s voice is a resolute and firm.…

How To Love Your Spouse With The Original Plan

In today's devotional we are looking at loving your spouse with the original plan. We sit at the feet of our master, Jesus this morning as we glean directly from His words and bring light to dark areas of our marriage. Mat 19:7-8 (MSG) They shot back in rebuttal, "If that's so, why did Moses give instructions for divorce papers and divorce procedures?" [8] Jesus said, "Moses provided for divorce as a concession to your hardheartedness, but it is not part of God's original plan. The reality sets in. Whatever you see in your marriage, is not to be swallowed…
