Is Your Marriage Honourable?

Devotion for Wednesday June 6, 2018

Sing A&M 463; Abu 132

Topic: Is Your Marriage Honourable?         

Text: Hebrew 13:4  

The first 3 verses of this chapter stipulate what the social life and responsibilities of Christians should be. It went further to give command on private lives too (v4). Christian couples have the responsibility to give honour to their marriage, and remain faithful to one another in it due to the vows they made before God. This would include promises to continually love one another mutually, to remain faithful in thought, attitude, and action, and to support and provide for each other. Hebrews shows how best to do these – we should stay away from immoral behavior and adultery. Immorality and adultery have split marriages for thousands of years. God’s commands against immorality (given for people’s own good) have been in place for a very long time now (see Exodus 20:14, 17; Job 24:15-24; Proverbs 5:15-23). Christians are to maintain high standards (Matthew 5:27-28). Marriage being honourable means being right, proper, and for ministers of the gospel as well as others. As marriage is God's institution for the happiness of man and the prevention of fornication and other abominable vices, he who forbids or discourages it increases the temptations to fornication, and exposes himself to the just indignation of God. Hebrews makes the point that even if no consequences are seen right away, promiscuous people will incur God’s wrath and He will surely judge them.

Food for Thought: How faithful are you in your marriage?

Memory verse: 13:4

Prayer: Pray for all couples that they will remain faithful in their marriages especially those whose marriages are having problems.

The Wise Woman

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Devotion for Mothering Sunday March 26, 2017

Topic: The Wise Woman

Text: Proverbs 14:1

Happy Mothers’ Day celebration to all women especially those of Anglican Communion Worldwide! Prov. 31:10ff give an insight into what a virtuous woman looks like. Such a woman can be described as the wise woman. Today, in our society, most women cannot be classified as wise simply because of their ineptitude, selfishness, greed and poor understanding of their roles in marriage.

A wise woman by her prudent and industrious management increases property in the family, food and raiment for her household. These increases also include wealth, children, social status through wise control of the family’s resources, support for the husband and godly training of the children (Proverbs 31:10ff).

The foolish woman diminishes her home by arbitrary and careless mismanagement of the family which includes wealth, children, husband, etc. She destroys her home through her ineptitude, selfishness, greed and poor understanding of their roles in marriage.

As we celebrate Mothers’ Day it will be proper for our women and mothers to re-assess their lives; their marriages and their families. How industrious are you in making home an envy of others or you destroy your home with arbitrary quest for fashion and outward beauty at the expense of your family urgent needs? The quest for things worldly should not take precedence over the things eternal. Build your home by complementing your husband.

Action: Write down the ways a wise woman builds her home and the ways a foolish woman destroys her home, and make a comparison with your life.

Memory verse: Proverbs 14 verse 1 - The wisest of women builds her house,
but folly with her own hands tears it down (ESV).

Prayer: Lord God; bless all women and mothers, and make them wise in Jesus name. Amen.

SUBMIT TO ONE ANOTHER: Devotion for Wednesday August 31, 2016

SUBMIT TO ONE ANOTHER: Devotion for Wednesday August 31, 2016

Text: Ephesians 5:21 – 33         Memory verse: Ephesians 5:21

Submitting to another person is an often misunderstood concept. I witness a counseling of an intending couple. The priest counseling them laid so much emphasis on the woman submitting to the man as if the instruction was meant for the woman alone. In the real sense of submitting to one another, it means yielding cheerful obedience to proper authority, from regard to God, who established it.

Paul proceeded to expand on the matter by the mention of particular cases. When we submit to God, we become more willing to obey His command to submit to others, that is, to subordinate our rights to theirs. In a marriage relationship, both husband and wife are called to submit. For the wife, this means willingly following her husband’s leadership IN CHRIST. For the husband, it means putting aside his own interests in order to care for his wife. Submission is rarely a problem in homes where both partners have a strong relationship with Christ and where each is concerned for the happiness of the other.

The love, Christ has for the church is an example Paul used in this case, which is sincere, pure, and constant, notwithstanding her failures. How sincere is your love for your spouse; your children, your parents, your subordinate, your boss, your neighbour, your colleagues, etc? Do you love them as you love yourself? We shouldn’t be so tenacious on our own will or opinion in matters indifferent, as to disturb the peace of the Church; the peace with our spouses, our neighbours, our colleagues, etc. Relationship thrives on the basis of give and take. In all such matters, give way to each other, and let love rule (Phil. 2:3). That is what Paul admonished us here to do in terms of submission.   

Food for Thought: 1 Peter 5:5

Prayer: Lord, remove from me spirit of self and pride and grant me the grace to be submissive in all things lawful in Jesus name.

LOVE WITHIN THE HOME

   

LOVE WITHIN THE HOME     Monday July 20, 2015

Text: Ephesians 5:21 – 29        Memory verse: 21

Paul speaks about the expected relationship within the home. He urged couple to submit to one another in the fear of God. He noted that the duty of wives is submission to their husbands, which includes honouring and obeying them, from a principle of love for them. Husbands are to love their wives using the love of Christ for the church as an example, which is sincere, pure, and constant, notwithstanding her (church) failures. Our duties in marriage are included in unity and love. We (spouses) should learn our duties to each other so as to prevent evil and also avoid many painful effects.

Submitting one to another is clear evidence that we have Spirit-controlled relationships, and it requires the Holy Spirit’s guidance and restraint (4:2, 3). Also in the church, the Christians should be willing to learn from, serve, give to, or be corrected by others in the fellowship. Such submission can allow growth both individually and corporately as we seek to follow Christ.

Action: Write down the ways you can create a peaceful and lovely home.   

Prayer: God grant us a Christian home where bible is loved and taught
