It’s a generationwhere husbands and wives are cheating on each other, even within the church. People have a lot of excuses why it had to happen.
It’s all sounding as if God has revised the scriptures and is now accommodating such lifestyles, but truthfully, the scripture remains the same. God still frowns at it!
The devil is a master strategist. From the very day you are married, he begins to plot and twist, all in a bid to bring you against your maker. You must do well not to slide into his slimy descent of deception.
As couples, you have to stay chaste and stay faithful no matter the pressures!
Have you found yourself where you ought not to? Here are three simple steps you can take to exit!
God wants you to exit, not try to edit the whole thing!
1. God Exit You have to settle with God first. Your relationship with Him which has been damaged as a result of disobedience has to be repaired. This is done with a genuinely repentant heart.
“But if we freely admit our sins when his light uncovers them, he will be faithful to forgive us every time. God is just to forgive us our sins because of Christ, and he will continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
(1Jn 1:9, TPT)
God forgives!
However, you must make up your mind not to go back into that sin again.
After settling with God, the next is your spouse.
2. Spouse Exit This is the difficult part but very much necessary. You need that openness to demonstrate your honesty and resolve to change. Remember, however, that after disclosing it, you may be relieved, but for your spouse, a cycle of pain, and struggling with forgiveness just began. It might take a while to earn trust back. You must be careful not to break that fragile trust again.
3. Counsel Exit Here you need someone you are going to be accountable to who will also help you navigate the terrain of rebuilding trust and staying true to your resolve not to dabble into the murky waters of adultery again!
May God help you indeed!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I choose to cooperate with my spouse
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, help me to cooperate with my spouse
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 1 John 1:9 (BBE)If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.
I suppose you alreadyunderstand what I mean by the word “chamber.”I am not talking about lawyers! Smile…and this is for married couples. This is married couples’ devotionals. If you are single before I count three; Oya! 1…2…Pim!
There are some times that love is made in what we often refer to as a quickie. That is understandable. And it’s one type of doing it. And it’s cool.
However, if you want to make your wife happy and give her an earth-shaking big “O,” then you are going to spend some more time or longer time before the actual thing.
This is because it takes a longer time for her to be ready, in comparison to the man. The mistake an inexperienced husband often makes is to assume she is feeling the same way he feels.
But it’s entirely different for her. A lot of husbands don’t know why their wives are unexcited at it. An inexperienced husband is apt to think she doesn’t really love him. But contrary is the case.
Make it exciting for her. Do not stick and be content being a missionary alone. Do something different, explore! Take a look at the scriptures:
“Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.”
(Pro 5:19, KJV)
God wants you to focus and enjoy your wife’s body!
Take a look at some other translations:
“Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose— don’t ever quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love for granted!”
(Pro 5:19, MSG)
“a loving doe and a graceful deer. Always let her breasts satisfy you. Always be intoxicated with her love.”
(Pro 5:19, GW)
I love that! Get intoxicated with your spouse! There is a blessing in doing just that! Have a great day!
Did this bless you? Then share before leaving via Facebook! And leave your comments too!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I am satisfied with my spouse. I am thrilled by her love.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, help me to focus on my spouse alone.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Prov 5:19 (AMP)Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant doe [tender, gentle, attractive] — let her bosom satisfy you at all times, and always be transported with delight in her love.
ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY Spend more time in the chamber.
I love the way our Easternbrothers usually refer to their wives. They will say “My Woman!”
Well, your wife is your woman. She is yours and no other. So you simply take care of her.
“Oh yeah, Pastor, I am taking care of her.’
“Have you really asked her and engaged her to know her definition of being cared for?
It may be way different from what you think.
What a woman interprets as care is often influenced by a lot of factors which may include background, parental upbringing, schools attended, church attended, personality type, temperament, past experiences, and so many other factors.
This is where communication becomes really important. Talk about how she wants to be taken care of.
For some wives, it’s to take them out to eat in some fancy restaurants.
For some, it’s to take them out to see a movie.
For some, it’s to buy a surprise gift.
For others, it’s to discuss the gift to be bought. For example, my wife doesn’t like surprises. She wants to know and be involved in whatever you want to do. Your own wife may be different.
For others, it’s to sit down and talk with them.
For some, it’s to write them a cheque.
For some, it’s to go on a dream vacation.
Whatever it is, ensure you pay the price in the place of pleasing and taking care of your wife.
May God enable us to be good spouses to our loved ones.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I know how to take care of my wife.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Ask for divine wisdom to take care of your wife
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Matt 19:16 (AMP) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

Choleric wives are energeticand 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.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I love my spouse passionately.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Ask for the grace to be a submissive spouse.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 1 Cor 7:2 (GNT) But because there is so much immorality, every man should have his own wife, and every woman should have her own husband.
