DEAR BROTHER

Text : Proverbs  19:14  

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Dear Brother, if you are married, we thank God for your life and we pray for wisdom to lead a fruitful life. Your marriage will not be a  barrier to fulfilling God's mandate for your life rather, it will give you a better platform to fulfilling it in Jesus name. 
Also, you need to take heed to God's word coming to you today so you could give qualitative advice to your sons and the younger generations. 

If you are not married, I say congratulations! This is because you still have the chance to retrace your steps and get it right maritally.

Dear brother, you must know and note that the wife you married can to a very large extent determine your success here on earth as far as God's mandate is concerned, and can invariably determine where you will spend your eternity. Why should you because of a fleeting pleasure jeopardise the eternal purpose of God for your life?

There was a king in Isreal by the name Jehoram, who did what the Lord considered to be evil in His sight. Categorically, the Bible says he did this evil because of the kind of  woman he married. 

He lived like the evil kings of Israel, following the example of Ahab’s dynasty, since he had married Ahab’s daughter, and he practiced what the LORD considered to be evil.2Ch 21:6. That is, if he had married another woman, there's a possibility that he could have led a different life.

Prior to this verse six, it was recorded concerning Jehoram, who was the first born son of his father, King Jehoshaphat, that  after he had assumed the throne and consolidated his rule over his father’s kingdom, he executed all of his brothers, along with some of the rulers of Israel. How more cruel can a man be?
 
Again in the next chapter, we saw that another man's destiny was cut short by this same woman. 
First she was the wife of King Jehoram and the brain behind the evils he perpetrated which ultimately led to his untimely and uncelebrated death. 
Now, she is the mother of king Ahaziah. 

Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. His mother was Athaliah, Omri’s granddaughter.
He followed the example of Ahab’s dynasty because his mother gave him evil counsel. 2Chron.
22:2-3.

Your wife will eventually become the mother of your children. If you don't like what you see in  her, don't marry her, because she will reproduce same in your children.

One woman destroyed the destinies of two generations to say the least, just because one man married wrongly.

See how his life was summarised in 
2Chron. 21:20  Jehoram was 32 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years. He left this earth—to nobody’s regret—and they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

Dear brother,  a prudent wife can only be gotten from the Lord. If she's not from the Lord, she's not good enough for you.

Note also that one important thing to consider is the family she came from. Abraham will not allow  his son, Isaac to marry from just any family, because a man (and woman) is as good as the upbringing he or she receives. BE WELL GUIDED. 


Bible Reading : 2 Chron. 21:1-20.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
