MEMORY VERSE:
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction.”
Proverbs 3:11.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Proverbs 1:8-9.
“My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we look at the need and importance of the couples practising the same faith. As in one Lord, one faith and one baptism. Having one belief is necessary for spiritual stability and growth. Stability and growth are part of the parent’s duties and responsibilities to their children.
Meanwhile, today will be looking at some specific roles assigned for each couple in marriage towards the child upbringing. Therefore, a father is given roles, Father has a duty of provision, protection, stability, discipline and role modelling to mention a few. As a man may God grant you grace to provide for your home.
Nevertheless, the mother also has duties to the family, she has a duty of affection, nourishment, safety, training and role modelling. While the father is the breadwinner, the mother is the home manager. So, as a woman, may God grant you the grace to manage your home.
In summary, both man and a woman in marriage have roles, duties and responsibilities to the marriage and the children. Whether as a breadwinner or a home manager, you must be diligent and ready to do your best regarding your God-given roles. Don’t forget, you are a role model to your wards. They will learn from you. Shalom.

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will be diligent in my roles, duties and responsibilities to my marriage.

PRAYER POINT:
Almighty God and Father, give me the grace to perform my daily roles genuinely and adequately in my marriage in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME:
The University Of Marriage. VIII.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?”
Nehemiah 13:27.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Numbers 36:6
This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we discovered that husband and wife are not the owners of their children, that they are simply custodians, children are God’s heritage and they belong to God. Children are given to the couples for proper guidance, care and support in life.
However, today we will discuss one of the criteria necessary for proper guidance of our wards. This is caption as, *”One Lord, one faith, one baptism.”* (Ephesians 4:5) Although our main text advises marrying someone best for you but must be of your family in faith. While our memory verse kicked against marrying a strange spouse, for it is a sin against God.
More so, the scriptures say, *”Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?”* (2 Corinthians 6:14) This implies that, marrying a man or woman outside your faith, will drag you backwards, break down your communication and fellowship with God.
In summary, *”Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”* (Proverbs 22:6) Beloved, with what faith are teaching your children? Balanced or in balance faith? Are you rooted and rooting your wards in the teaching and knowledge of God? Hear this, husband and wife must be of one faith. Failure to do this will be very unfortunate and disastrous for the children. May you not fail in teaching your children, the way of the Lord. Amen. Shalom!

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
My household will serve One Lord, have one faith and one baptism in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:
Father Lord, help my household to remain one in faith and service to You. And give me the grace to train my children with a genuine knowledge of God, that my family may abide in the truth of the gospel always in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME:

MEMORY VERSE:
“My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding.”
Proverbs 5:1.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Proverbs 4:3-5.
“For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we further emphasize the importance of true love in marriage. Love remains the soul of every working relationship, it practices forgiveness, respect, acceptance, unity and trust. In love there is no ill, love cares, love strengthens and beautify marriage.
Meanwhile, one of our ordination in marriage is to be custodians of God’s heritage, (the Children). That is to say, in marriage, husband and wife, have a duty of care and protection from dangers assign by God.
However, it is important to collaborate, help one another and be firm in discharging our duty and responsibilities with love to our wards through daily guidance and support. This requires daily meeting God for direction
In summation, as custodians of God’s heritage, we must guide through right counsel, introduce God to our wards, and must be of a good example through our words and actions. Shalom.

God bless you.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous.”
1 Peter 3:8.

TODAY’S TEXT:
1 Peter 3:6-7.
“Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we discovered that love is the central and one of the things that make the marriage work. Not forgetting that love hold no grudge, love unites and strengthen the relationship. Love is essential, it cannot be neglected.
However, in our days more attention is been given to eroticism. Well, it is pertinent we further look at love, not as an act of copulating alone but that of acceptance, respect, forgiveness and trust, simply put, the driving force of a good marriage.
Dear friend, the truth remains that, the love that sustains the marriage, is beyond copulation. It requires accepting your partner the way he or she is made by God, not because of physique or possessions. Most importantly, cherish all that you share with your spouse, the good and the bad ones.
Finally, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.”
(1 John 4:11) The forgiveness of wrongdoings is borne of love, also respect his or her personality, views and boundaries. When you truly love, you will trust your spouse, there is no doubt in love. Let true love reign in your marriage. Shalom!

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not take my spouse for granted, I will always accept, respect, forgive and trust my spouse at all times.

PRAYER POINT:
Oh God of Creation, You are love personified. Please Lord, in your goodness, help me to accept, respect, forgive and trust my spouse; your gift to me in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

MEMORY VERSE:
“Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.”
Song of Solomon 4:7.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Romans 13:10.
“Love works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we discussed the importance of understanding your spouse’s family setting or background, the life pass experience that might be playing out in your marriage. And the need to work on your differences, for better results in your marriage.
Meanwhile, the differences, if not harnessed positively, could be devastating. Today’s truth is simply about love, for love is the soul of any marriage. And as Christians, we learn from God’s love towards us. And without love, a marriage relationship will be sour.
More so, dear friend, do you genuinely love your spouse? Do you cherish and care for your better half? Don’t forget that there is power in unison. Love is crucial in marriage, so let there be love. And with love, you can take your relationship to the climax. Your marriage can be spotless and without wrinkles, when you truly love.
In summary, love works no ills, love unite, love strengthen marriage, it is the key to balance the differences and advance together as one, as ordained by God. Shalom!
