DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Text : 1 Corinthians 6:9&10.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
 *Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.* 

 *Domestic violence is not just a crime against humanity, it is a sin before God. Say 'NO' to it.* 

Domestic violence is any violence or abuse committed in a domestic setting such as in marriage. 

Domestic abuse comes in different forms;  physical abuse,  emotional abuse, sexual abuse and so on. Whichever form it takes, abuse is wrong and should be frowned at at any quarter. No one should be subjected to any kind of abuse whatsoever. 

(If you are been abused in anyway, please, speak up, look for a right person to report to and don't forget to report such to God, He will fight for you.)

However, one very silent abuse that goes almost unnoticed even among Christians is the verbal abuse. 

Verbal abuse is a harsh and insulting language directed at a person. The word of God refers to verbal abuser as a reviler. To revile is to attack someone with abusive language. 

Doesn't it amaze you that a reviler is part of the list of those whom God says will not inherit His Kingdom. A reviler is grouped alongside with an adulterer and idolaters. 

The words you write or speak to others can leave a huge impact and create a lasting memory-either good or bad–so it is of utmost importance to choose them wisely. 

Words can make or break a man. Your choice of words and the way you express yourself can build up or destroy you, or your listener.

Don't engage in domestic violence through verbal abuse,  rather, Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man. (Colossians  4:6).


Bible  Reading: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, forgive me of every idle words I have spoken and cause my tongue to be seasoned with grace and salt henceforth in Jesus name.

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...
