Women are interestingly influential. Ok, the man is the head of the house, agreed, but the woman wields a lot of influence in the home.
Satan wanted to get to man, he went through the woman. He knew if he could get the woman to eat the fruit, the rest is history with the man, and that was exactly what happened. We see this in Genesis 3:6
When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it—she’d know everything!—she took and ate the fruit and then gave some to her husband, and he ate.
Gen 3:6 (MSG)
Look at that scripture!
She gave some to Adam and he simply ate it! No question, no resistance, no objection. He ate it in love!
The woman is influential!
So much is the influence a wife wields over her husband that the scripture even says a wife can influence her husband without even saying a word!
Let’s take a look at it.
1Pe 3:1 (TPT) And now let me speak to the wives. Be devoted to your own husbands, so that even if some of them do not obey the Word of God, your kind conduct may win them over without you saying a thing.
That is instructive! Without a word. How true can this be? Without saying a word. Can you begin to see that you don’t need to talk too much till your husband feels completely nagged.
You can be a woman of few words and yet of tremendous influence.
As a wife, decide to be a good wife by influencing your husband in a good way. Job’s wife was a bad wife, she asked her husband to curse God and die. Thank God he never listened.
Decide today and watch how that will impact your marriage massively.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I make a positive impact on my spouse.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, help me to influence my spouse positively.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 1 Peter 3:1 (AMP) IN LIKE manner, you married women, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of God], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [godly] lives of their wives,

September To Remember – Day 10
I declare, my heavens are opened. I will no longer operate under closed heavens. The rain of God’s blessing is pouring on me. Buckets of God’s goodness are poured on me.
The earth loosens up for my sake. Whatever I put in the ground, is growing. Nothing dies in my hands. My children receive the blessing. My relationship/marriage receive the blessing. My job, business, career, and the works of my hands receive the blessing. Everywhere I turn to today, I see the blessings. So shall it be in Jesus name, Amen.

This One Thing Will Always Birth Crises In Marriage
I have counseledhundreds of couples in the last twenty-two years. Marriage has always been and will always work. There are things you do and it is guaranteed that the marriage will work. There are things you ignore and it is sure that crises will emanate.
There is one sure thing if undone, will always birth crisis every time. This has to do with accountability.
Ever met anyone who does not want to be accountable and doesn’t want to talk to mentors? At the root of this is Pride! This is accentuated in the scriptures.
Let’s take a look at the scriptures
Wisdom opens your heart to receive wise counsel, but pride closes your ears to advice and gives birth to only quarrels and strife.
Pro 13:10 (TPT)
How do you know a wise couple? They are open to wise counsel. You see, there are issues that will come up in marriage that will be beyond you. God forbid that you have nobody to talk to!
Many a couple’s heart are closed to counsel and this is not good because they are only operating by what they know and the reality is that what they know is limited. Limited by their age and experiences.
It is wisdom then, to open yourselves to counsel because God will surround you with at least one person who has wisdom to help in whatever imbroglio you might have found yourselves.
That scripture says pride closes the ears to advice and shockingly, pride also gives birth to quarrels and strife.
Is your marriage riddled with strife and quarrels? Then find out if you have not made statements like “You must not discuss me with a third party!”
Yes, you must not discuss your issues all over the place, but you should have at least one person who serves as mentor or pastor you should talk to. And this person shouldn’t be either of your parents in any way. They will always be biased.
Have a great day!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY My marriage will work.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, give me the needed wisdom to build my marriage
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Prov 13:10 (AMP) Through pride and presumption come nothing but strife, But [skillful and godly] wisdom is with those who welcome [well-advised] counsel
Welcome to Day 8 of September To Remember! September To Remember Fasting is a prayer and fasting programme that called God so we can receive strength to birth the greatness we have within.

The ambitious early men were too focused to be distracted. Their project was clear. They were going to build the tallest building in the world. Whatever technology existed at the time, God Himself attested to the fact that they will succeed.
and he said, “Now then, these are all one people and they speak one language; this is just the beginning of what they are going to do. Soon they will be able to do anything they want!
Gen 11:6 (GNB)
God said nothing will be impossible for them because of the oneness in their speech and language. God knew what to do to stop their ambition. He tampered with their speech.
Come, we’ll go down and garble their speech so they won’t understand each other.” Then GOD scattered them from there all over the world. And they had to quit building the city.
Gen 11:7-8 (MSG)
The resultant effect of their garbled speech is that they could no longer understand themselves, then a scattering and then they quit building.
This is quite instructive and interesting.
O yes, in marriage, there will be little quarrels and disagreement here and there. You know what? Keep on talking. Papa Kenneth Hagin said learn to disagree without being disagreeable!
Do not allow strife in your marriage. When you stop talking as a result of hurt, your speech has been garbled and you will soon be unable to build anything. Now, this is the plan of the devil. He wants you scattered. He doesn’t want you to build anything. He doesn’t want you to do anything meaningful together. Ensure you don’t cooperate with him anyway.
Keep on talking. Don’t hurt too deep. Be a quick forgiver. Laugh a lot. Enjoy yourself as couples and do not allow anybody to pour “stones” into your “Garri!
Have a blessed day with your spouse!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I do not give place to the devil. I keep on talking with my spouse.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Pray that you are sensitive to your spouse.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Gen 11:6 (HCSB)The LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
