When Do You Need Jesus In Your Marriage?

When Do You Need Jesus In Your Marriage?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

COUPLES –

Continued from yesterday…

You should not only call the disciples (other friends) into your marriage, but you need to call Jesus as well. Both Jesus and his disciples were called. When they needed a miracle, it wasn’t the disciples that turned water into wine, they were busy drinking wine, but it was Jesus. There are times when the wine of the marriage dries up, and it is Jesus you need at such times.

In marriage, you need the person of Jesus and the principles of Jesus to make it. But you know, a marriage full of sexual compromise and lack of self-control is not giving space for Jesus at all. When you start having adultery, you are doing things worthy of self-rustication from the school. You are kicking at your teacher and you are trying to say you want things done your own way.

A marriage where the husband, wife or both of them are cheating are disenfranchising themselves from the very help and wisdom they need in their marriage! The scripture advises that you drink water from your own cistern!

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 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. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? – Proverbs 5:15 – 20

When you drink water from your own cistern (talking about making love with your wife), it is like water turned into wine. How sweet it is!

But, when you drink water from strange women and cisterns, you are taking poison! It tastes sweet in your mouth but it will hurt you!

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. – Proverbs 20:17

The teacher is compassionate! He stands at the door of the class, in your heart, and simply wants you to extend an invitation to him to enter the class! In your marriage, the wine will always be insufficient.

Your own wisdom will fail you. But he is there to help you out, if you invite him!

Will you invite him today? It is the best thing to do. He will save you from shame and keep the wine of your marriage, life and destiny flowing beautifully. He will teach you how to make your marriage a bliss and not full of blisters, how to make it a haven and not an oven!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
In my marriage, I will not be cut off in the midst of my days. I will last in the marriage institution.

PRAYERS FOR THE DAY
Lord, open the eyes of my understanding as regards my marriage

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Mal 2:15 MSG GOD, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage. And what does he want from marriage? Children of God, that’s what. So guard the spirit of marriage within you. Don’t cheat on your spouse.

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY
Matt 8:14-34; Mark 4-5

You Too Can Walk On Water

You Too Can Walk On Water

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Do you know that you too can walk on water? That’s the word of God dear child. God wants you and I to do exploits on earth just like Jesus did. He wants you to live a life of wonders, a life filled with amazing things and he wants you to do exploits.

In the bible, Peter asked Jesus if he could join him on the water and Jesus bade him come, and as he stepped out in faith keeping his gaze on Jesus, Peter actually walked on water.

The story is recorded in

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. – Matt 14:28-29 (KJV)

Walking on water is the least thing God wants you to do. He also said you can move mountains if you believe. All you need to do is believe that all things are possible through and with the power in the name of Jesus.

Think of the things you can do.

You can come out top in your school, pray for the sick and they get healed, believe God to bless your parents financially, ask God to strengthen your family, and so on.

What can you do to achieve this?

1. Read your Bible daily.

Faith comes by hearing the word of God. You have to know what God is saying about what you believe him for.

2. Pray always.

Prayer is you communicating with God; it’s how you express how you feel and God speaking back to you.

3. Asking questions.

Whatever you do not understand in God’s word, ask your parents, elder ones, or Sunday school teacher in the church.

4. Behave well everywhere you find yourself

5. Always pay attention in school

Prayer:
Lord, give me faith that moves mountains. Amen

Action point:
Do the points listed above

Declaration:
I will excel in all my endeavors
