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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
