Soundhealth: The Joys of Marriage. IV.

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST.

DATE: Thursday, March 7, 2019.

THEME: The Joys of Marriage. IV.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.”
Jeremiah 33:6.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Matthew 9:20-22.
“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we observed that prosperity, enable one to be able to provide for his or her needs and that of the family, (whether immediate or future) needs. For Poverty brings frustration into marriage, while prosperity supply a kind of joy that all will is well.
Notwithstanding, today we will be looking at Soundhealth, as one of the seasonings that makes marriage sweet and enjoyable.
Wellbeloved, come to think of it, let assume, the woman with the issue of blood, had a loving husband, caring children and wealth all around her. I doubt, if she would enjoy them at all, for her health had failed her, and her personal wealth is gone.
Let not forget, for good twelve years, they been taken her about without remedy, this would have made many of them (family and friends) to depart from her, while resources diminished totally. If you doubt it, ask Job.
“Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.” (Job 2:9) All because of his seemly prolong and incurable disease.
Furthermore, an adage says, _”Health is wealth.”_ And to crown it all, our memory verse expressly declared the mind of God saying: *”Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.”* I pray for as many, that their health had denied them marital joy, the Lord will visit you this season in Jesus name. Conclusively, sound health is of great importance to enjoy marriage. It is a personal asset, that you cannot transfer or share with anyone. May your health, not fail you in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I declared:I have a perfect health of Spirit, Soul and Body. My health will not fail me.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are my healer. In your mercy, heal me of every form of infirmities upon my life and family in Jesus name. Amen.

The family Joys of Marriage. III.

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST.

DATE: Wednesday, March 6, 2019.

THEME: THE JOYS OF MARRIAGE. III.

MEMORY VERSE:
“In the day of prosperity be joyful…”
Ecclesiastes 7:14.

TODAY’S TEXT:
1 Kings 17:12.
“And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we observed that fruitfulness (Childbearing) is one of the seasonings that makes marriage blissful and beautiful.
Notwithstanding, it is a good thing to have adequate resources to cater for the children. For when there are children, and no money to provide for their (immediate or latter) needs, it can be disastrous and tiresome.
However, our memory verse declared that; _”In the day of prosperity be joyful.”_ The truth is that when you are married and wealthy, you will have a kind of satisfaction that money is available, and a kind of joy, will fill your heart, that materially you are buoyant.
Nonetheless, our today’s text says of a woman, who had little or nothing to feed on with her son. She said; *”I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse… that i may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”* What a pity! May God save us from such situation in Jesus name.
In conclusion, Beloved in Christ, do know that Acceptance of your spouse, fruitfulness and prosperity, are part of the seasonings that makes marriage joyful, blissful and beautiful. May the good Lord, continue to supply the needs of our families in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
Though, my beginning is small, my latter end, shall be very great.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are the Lord that provides. Please Lord, bless my marriage and my home according to your riches in glory in Jesus name. Amen.

THEME: THE JOYS OF MARRIAGE. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
Psalms 127: 3.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Psalms 127:4-5.
“As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the opening of this series, we considered _’Acceptance of one’s spouse,’_ as one of the ingredients that produces joy in a marriage. Taking your spouse as of the same flesh, bone and heart, always ignite firepower to cook a joyful married life.
Nevertheless, today we want to look at another substance: “`Childbearing“` and that, if mixed with acceptance will elongate the lifespan of joy in a marriage. Most culture, bank on this mixture for a happy home.
Afterall, our today’s text declared that, *”As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed…”* Beloved, just like arrows sent on an errands, children are also sent from God to support and comfort.
Furthermore, the scripture says; ” Happy is the man or woman that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed. Invariably, any marriage with children is expected to be joyful, famous and comfortable.
In conclusion, our memory verse expressly stated that, *”Children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”* Children are gifts from God, which God gives at will. Therefore, we must wait on God, to bestow this privilege on us. And as many that childlessness had eroded them of marital joy, the good Lord, will visit you this season with your own children in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared!

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will see my children’s children, so say concerning me, the Lord of host.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, children are heritage from you. Bless those looking for fruit of womb with children. And those you have given, may they remain sources of joy to the family in Jesus name. Amen.

The Joy of Marriage. I.

THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST.

THEME: The Joy of Marriage. I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.”
Genesis 2:22.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Genesis 2:23-25 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.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
We do say, ‘Life is beautiful’ when all seems to be alright with us, even in Marriage. Therefore, what then is marriage? Marriage is the state of being married: i e, the union of two people, usually to the exclusion of all other males or females, in the union.
Certainly, our memory verse expressly declared that God took a rib from the man, to make the woman, and God brought the woman to the man. Invariably, God connect them together in Order to continue the work of love, procreation and dominance.
Meanwhile, the man and the woman’s togetherness is filled with many blessings and joy. As our today’s text revealed Adam declaration about the woman, saying: *”This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman.”*
More so, beloved in Christ Jesus, _the acceptance of God’s gift of a spouse is one of the joys of marriage._ when you accept your spouse from God and see him or her, as your better half; your flesh, and the bone of your bone, then your joy will be full.
Furthermore, our scripture says; *”Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh… and were not ashamed.”* It implies that, when you cleave to your own, there shall be no shame.
Conclusively, for joy to last in our marriages, the married must see the spouse as his or her flesh given by God. While the unmarried, must seek God diligently, to bring his or her own flesh, and accept the fellow. Don’t forget that, when God is involved, all will be well in the marriage. May joy not diminish from our marriages in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
There shall be increase of joy in my marriage.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you instituted marriage that we may love and live as one. May oneness of mind and joy, not depart from my marriage in Jesus name. Amen.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
Proverbs 20:1.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Proverbs 31:5-7.
“Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we saw that one of the nets satan uses to drag people to hell, is coition with strange man or woman, other than your lawful spouse. Because God hates adultery and fornication, Satan secretly lure men and women away with it.
Meanwhile, today we will be looking at Alcohol or strong drinks, as one of the nets to drag people to destruction. Our memory verse expressly stated that, *”Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”* strong drink will mock and disgrace you, and whoever that is deceived by the smoothness of the drink and fall, is not wise.
More so, medically alcohol or strong drinks such as: Beer, Rum, Gin, and the rest of it’s kind that contains alcohol, are harmful to human body. For the content contain injurious chemical compound that gradually affect and damage human liver. And once Liver is damaged, the excretion system of the body will automatically shut down. No way for the liver to filtter the body system. And such individual, will die untimely, invariably suicidal.
Furthermore, a drunk will forget the law and pervert judgements of the afflicted. While under the influence of strong drink, a drunk will be biased and give wrong verdict.
Finally, our today’s text declared that, *”Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish…”* Beloved, satan trap people with alcohol, that they may perish. A drunk can cross the road unconsciously and involved in an accident. He may develop Liver failure, or act irrationally and by the way, get killed. May you and I not perish in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not perish, I will live to proclaim God’s goodness.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, don’t let me enter into Satan’s trap. Help me Lord, not to perish with the world, but to live eternally with you in heaven in Jesus name. Amen.
