    WISDOM ENGENDERS GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (B)

    Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
    Colossians 3:19 (KJV)

    The husband has a responsibility to love his wife as HaMashiach loved the Church. Our opening text states, “and be not bitter against them” meaning that the wife has the capacity not just to annoy her husband but to behave in such a way that will embitter the man. To be bitter means to express severe grief or regret about something. It means marked by strong resentment or cynicism. The husband must know that the wife could behave in ways that could bring strong resentment in his heart towards her and from the beginning make the room to love her in spite. The Church is not close to being perfect but HaMashiach still loves the Church and gave Himself for her. Husband remember that loving your wife has a yardstick and it is a very high one. It is as HaMashiach loves the church and gave himself for her. Loving your wife is something you must be intentional, dedicated and consistent about. She does not need to be perfect to deserve your love. The Church was lost when HaMashiach died for her. It was that sacrifice of love that brought us into relationship with Yahweh. It is loving your wife that will bring out the angel and comforter in her alive. Put showing love to your wife in your budget. Be intentional about it. Your open heavens amongst others depends on your wife’s disposition towards you.

    1 Peter 3:7 says that husband should dwell with your wife according to knowledge. Knowledge here means that the husband is to know his wife in all the departments of her life in order to be able to read the mood of his wife per time and act according to that knowledge. You know when your wife is tired and needs rest and you help her get the needed rest and rejuvenate herself. You know when your wife is moody and needs succour, you try to bring her to smiles and joy. You know when your wife is happy and you don’t puncture that mood. When you don’t act towards your wife according to knowledge, you become the enemy of your own destiny because your prayers will be hindered. Loving your wife is just for your own good.

    Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath. I see a situation in my generation where fathers have abdicated their responsibility of training their children. It is the responsibility of the father to teach the family, the word of Yahweh. Train the children. Give instruction before you apply discipline. The word of Yahweh is for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. If you as a father don’t have time for the Word of God, how can you teach it? We have absent fathers that only come in to try to discipline on what is not done well while they have not taken time to give instructions and training. When you do that, you are provoking the child to wrath and the end result is going to be rebellion. You don’t want to have that situation, would you?

    REMEMBER: Wisdom instructs the husband to love his wife to enjoy marital bliss.

    CONFESSION: As HaMashiach is, so am I. I love my spouse and respond in understanding to my family. Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that your family shall begin to experience bliss from this day in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    WISDOM ENGENDERS GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (A)

    18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
    Colossians 3:18-19 (KJV)

    Man is a creation of Adonai. It is also only Him that knows the best way that the man can function and fulfill purpose. That is why, it is wisdom to go to the manufacturer’s manual for man which is the Bible and find out the Wisdom steps to take to maximize his life. There are wisdom steps in the Word for every area of the man’s life including his marriage. Marriage is Yahweh’s initiative. He therefore, knows the best way to enjoy it. It is Wisdom to search out the keys the creator of marriage has made available for unlocking the treasures in the institution. It is important to note that the wisdom of Yahweh looks like foolishness with men. However, the foolishness of Yahweh if there is anything like that is wiser than men (see 1 Corinthians 1:25). No matter the school you attended and the resultant certificate that you parade, if you don’t humble yourself and subscribe to the wisdom of Yahweh concerning marriage, you will make a shipwreck of your marriage. The evidence of the foregoing statement is the divorce statistics the world over and it looks like the number is more with the well read class. Education is not equal to wisdom. Divine Wisdom is a function of hearing and hearkening to the Word of Adonai. If you are too big to hear and obey the word of Yahweh – the Bible, you are too big for success in marriage. If you are too educated to humble yourself before the Word of Elohim, you are too educated to succeed in marriage. Truth is truth. There is no new generation truth. Truth is timeless and ageless.

    The position of the wife in the family is a spiritually sensitive and strategic one. Contrary to several years of teaching that the success of the family hangs on the head of the home who is the husband of the home, the Word actually teaches that the rise and fall of a home is almost 100% dependent on the wife of the home. In almost all the New Testament references about the family, the first person to be addressed is the wife. In Ephesians, Colossians and Peter that addressed the home, the wife was always the first person to be addressed. Proverbs 14:1 (KJV) says something striking, ‘Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands’ Proverbs 23:4 says that ‘Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:’ Every building is built by the operation of Wisdom. This is very critical. How does the wise woman build her house? Our text explains how: wives submit to your husbands as unto the Lord. This is not human-made postulation. This is Divine Wisdom for a successful marital life. No matter your estate in life, if you submit to this Wisdom, you will enjoy peace like river in your home, even if Satan is your husband. Did you notice it says that you should submit to your own husband as to the Lord? That is in the same measure that you would submit to the Lord Yahushua, is exactly the same measure that you should submit to your own husband. That is grave to me, just thinking about it.

    Did you notice that I said that even if Satan is your husband, that you would have peace at home? That is exactly what 1 Peter 3:1-6 was explaining. The Apostle Peter says that even if your husband does not obey the word meaning is not a Christian, he may be won by your chaste character which he will observe. The wife wields so much influence in her home that she literally holds the rise and fall of the home. May the Lord give every wife wisdom to walk by the Word. Shalom!

    We shall continue with the husband tomorrow…

    REMEMBER: Submitting to your husband in everything is the wisdom for marital bliss.

    CONFESSION: I am a woman/man of wisdom. I walk by the word of the Lord, pleasing him in all my ways. I submit to my husband as unto the Lord and I receive the fruit of heaven on earth marriage Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you work in this wisdom as a wife, I declare peace, love and rest in your home in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THANKFUL FOR FEBRUARY 2023

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday FEBRUARY 28, 2023

    THANKFUL FOR FEBRUARY 2023

    Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
    Colossians 2:7 [KJV]

    Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we devote the last day of every month as our thanksgiving day where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has seen us through the month. We do not take for granted the mercies of the Lord from the first of the month to today the last day. It has been a torrent of the word on Love and we owe the Lord thanks. We have returned today to thank Him for the success of the month of FEBRUARY 2023. In case, you cannot see anything to thank Yahweh for – I know such a person will not be reading this now; let me remind you that not all that saw 1st of FEBRUARY 2023 are alive today to see the 28th of FEBRUARY 2023. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed (see Lamentations 3:22). We owe Him thanks today. Also, our attitude of thanksgiving determines, what the next month will be for us. Let us explore more on the benefits of thanksgiving.

    Our text says that we should abound with thanksgiving. The Greek word translated abounding is ‘perisseuo’ meaning to superabound (in quantity or quality), be in excess, be superfluous; also (transitively) to cause to superabound or excel. You see that the English word abounding did not capture the Greek rendering. What the text is saying in essence is that we should superabound with quality and quantity thanksgiving, and allow our thanksgiving to be in excess. This is beyond theology brethren. The Lord wants us to superabound with quality thanksgiving and quantity thanksgiving. We are not just expected to thank Yahweh but to superabound with quantity thanksgiving. Thank Adonai until it is in excess. Let us think a bit. How many hours can you thank Yahweh today that will be in excess and will be of highest quality. You see that thanksgiving is not something to be mindless about.

    One of the benefits of thanksgiving is that it is the major channel of increase in the Word. Whenever, something is in short supply and there is need for increase and abundance then thanksgiving was employed. We saw the Lord Yahushua feeding the multitude with limited resources available but with thanksgiving, it became more than enough. In John 6:11(KJV), ‘And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.’ In case there is an expectation that is yet to materialize in the month of February, it is not late yet, if you can offer quality thanksgiving for the issue today. Don’t murmur, nor grumble, just be full of gratitude to the Father, for that expectation and watch how it turns to your manifestation. Congratulations and see you in March 2023!

    REMEMBER: Thanksgiving should be in quantity and quality.

    THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, we are not worthy of the least of Your mercies. What shall we say for bringing us to the end of this great month, no loss, no tears, we saw goodness and mercies, abundance of blessings in front and at the back. Thank You for the salvation of my soul. Thank You for the continuous flow of Your Word on this platform. Thank You for Your preservation, provision and supplies. Thank You for encounter with Your love this month. To You alone be all the glory in the Name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Having returned with thanksgiving today, I declare that everything with your name on it still hanging be released now. There shall be no carry-over of February releases in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN THE MARKETPLACE OF LIFE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday FEBRUARY 20, 2023

    DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN THE MARKETPLACE OF LIFE

    Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
    Matthew 7:12 (KJV)

    The World is a marketplace. A market place is a place of buying and selling. If you are a banker, you are selling your banking skills and knowledge and the management of the bank is paying you for it. Everybody is either selling something or buying something. The marketplace is a place we meet people and interact with them. Those in your marketplace are those you meet in the course of buying or selling skills, commodities or knowledge. Those that come in contact with you in the course of making your money are people of your marketplace.

    The first and greatest commandment according to Matthew 22:36-39, “36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” is to love Yahweh our Lord God. Coming right after that is to love our neighbour. In explaining who our neighbour is, the Lord Yahushua used the example of a total stranger to a Samaritan traveller, in fact someone that was considered an outcast. To a Jew of Yahushua’s day, a Samaritan is an outcast, someone that is of the mixed breed that is not worthy of association or relationship. When that Samaritan came, he helped the wounded Jewish man and took him to hospital, paid his fees and upkeep. That was the second greatest commandment to love our neighbour. Beloved, the Yahweh-kind of love is something that suppose to flow from you to the people you meet in the marketplace of life. As you go about your business or career’s activities, you are supposed to radiate the love of Yahweh to the people in your world. The marketplace of life is full of people that are hurting and broken. So many are in pains as a result of hidden illness and affliction. So many are having marital challenges that are wrecking their emotional life. What an opportunity to shine the love of Yahushua to their lives. The marketplace of life is a big opportunity for the believer to show that the divine love in him can win the world. Even the most stubborn hardened heart can be won by the meekness and patience of divine love.

    We have established the fact that the Love of Yahweh is Yahushua HaMashiash. The believer is one who have encountered the love of Yahweh which is Yahushua and therefore, is poised with that love to give to the people of his/her marketplace. Manifesting the love of Yahweh in the marketplace is ensuring that everyone you meet knows about Yahushua and the salvation He offers and can make a choice to accept or reject His offer. Manifesting divine love in the marketplace is taking the place of service. Be the one who volunteers first to get that task done especially when all others are likely to hesitate. Take an interest in others at work. Be known to care for people’s welfare. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The marketplace of life is the best place after the family to shine divine love.

    CONFESSION: I am born of divine love and supernaturally equipped to release love to the people in my world. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see impact of this Divine Love reaching the people in your marketplace this season in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN MARRIAGE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday FEBRUARY 17, 2023

    DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN MARRIAGE

    18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
    Colossians 3:18-19 (KJV)

    The first place that the characteristics of the Yahweh-kind of love manifests is in the family between husband and wife, then extends to the children and then to the Church and society at large. This is why the failure of people to function in the Yahweh-kind of love in their family has resulted in the high rate of disintegration of families these days. The scripture is littered with instructions to love our spouses. It is only the Yahweh-kind of love that can hold marriage together making it a heaven-on-earth experience of a home. Submission is a function of humility and patience which are all characteristics of the Yahweh-kind of love. When the wife is told to submit to her own husband, it is another way of telling the wife to love their husbands. Titus 2:4-5 brought it out clearly, “ 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” When you love your husband, as a wife, you would be kind, obedient, patient, courteous, generous and appreciating him for the things he does for you and the family. The author has seen from experience as a pastor counselling numerous people that a godly woman is the best blessing a man can receive. Just as the scripture says in II Peter 3:1-2, “ 1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands? that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives? 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.”; the author has seen the impact of godly submissive wives on ungodly husbands which confirmed the Word that they are always drawn by the chaste conduct of their wives.

    When a husband loves his wife, there is a security that love brings on the home front that even Satan himself cannot dare. The love of a husband is the wall of defence of the home. When a husband loves his wife, he can go to any length to make the home comfortable for him and all inhabitants of the home. Remember that we are not talking about natural human love which is very fickle. We are talking about the Yahweh-kind of love which is a supernatural manifestation of the Holy Spirit. When a husband loves his wife with this divine love, the security and prosperity of the family is secured. The Yahweh-kind of love triumphs over every form of assault of the devil on the family.

    It takes a mind renewed with the Word of Yahweh and a body submitted to the Lordship of the Holy Spirit to function in the Yahweh-kind of love. When the husband loves his wife according to 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and the wife does same, no force of devil can introduce tension in their home. The Yahweh-kind of love has never been to the divorce court and will never. No more tension in your home from now! Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Yahweh-kind of love triumphs over every assault of the devil on your marriage.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Help me Lord to love my spouse with the Yahweh-kind of love in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the tension in your home disappears now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (12): HOPES ALL THINGS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday FEBRUARY 15, 2023

    CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (12): HOPES ALL THINGS

    … its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, …
    I Corinthians 13:7 (AMPC)

    This word we see translated as “hope” is the Greek word “elpizo” which means to expect or confide. The word is translated in other places as “trust” and “expect.” It is the confident expectation of something to come. To “hope all things” means to confidently expect the long-term spiritual growth of our fellow brothers and sisters in HaMashiach; to expect that their lives will turn out right; to expect that their situation will change for the better; to treat them according to that beautiful future you expect. To “hope all things” means that we never consider another to be a lost case. It means that we never give up on each other, even when we see one another fall and fall hard.

    When we fail to “hope all things” we consider failures of sin to be a final judgment. It is portrayed in quickness to write the other off. We have critical notions of others and when they meet our expectations of their weakness, we cross them off our list and push them out of our lives. When we fail to “hope all things” we separate. We separate because we feel we have to move on, as if the offender has fallen out of our boat and won’t recover. And what is most awful about losing hope is that it can be so silent. We usually won’t even bother to confront them in hopes of producing repentance, simply receding from them, quietly, withdrawing from their orbit. We even convince ourselves that we are actually “covering their sin in love” by staying quiet.

    We must come to that point where we expect the best of them, possessing an optimistic view of how things will turn out, in this life or, more importantly, in eternity. We must recognize ‘…that all things work together for good to those who love Yahweh, to those who are the called according to His purpose.’ (see Romans 8:28 KJV). This kind of attitude is tested when troubles arise, but possessing this kind of love means we will continue to confidently expect the best of the person we love. It also means we will do what we can to help that positive and Godly outcome become a reality. This can sometimes be a challenge. Sometimes circumstances develop or decisions are made that make it difficult to maintain an optimistic expectation for someone. That is where we need to remember that the essence of this love is the commitment to the best interest of the one we love. It is also important to remember how often we are on the other side, making decisions that make it difficult for someone who loves us to maintain that confidence in us. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The Yahweh-kind of love expects the best future and works to help actualize it for people in the person’s world.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for the love shed abroad in my spirit by the Holy Spirit. I ask for the grace to see the people in my world with your eyes and to treat them with love even when they are not getting it right in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: There is nothing that brings one divine presence and interventions like walking in love and I declare that as you make walking in love your great quest, everything mocking the glory of God in your life is cursed now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (10): BEARS ALL THINGS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday FEBRUARY 13, 2023

    CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (10): BEARS ALL THINGS

    Love bears up under anything and everything that comes …

    1 Corinthians 13:6 (AMPC)


    The more I try to comprehend this love, the more I am amazed and feel like I have not even started at all. The acid test of spirituality is walking in the Yahweh-kind of love. The Yahweh-kind of love bears up under anything and everything that comes. The Greek word rendered bears up or beareth (KJV) is stego. It means to cover and is related to the word indicating a roof, or a covering that offers protection from the elements. In his commentary, W. E. Vine explains that this covering either supports what is placed upon it, or covers what is placed underneath it. Love acts in both ways in bearing all things. The implications of this is awe-striking.

    Love protects what is within. Love guards against resentment, anger, and discouragement. It isn’t hypercritical. Love doesn’t look for every fault or point out every shortcoming; it doesn’t complain, quibble, or criticize. How often we attack rather than protect. We expose rather than cover. We neglect rather than draw near! It is John MacArthur that says, ‘[Love] does not expose or exploit, gloat or condemn. It bears; it does not bare.’ In marriage (or any relationship for that matter), there are some things we must choose to overlook in our husbands/wives or in our marriages – as hard as it is. We must let that complaint, that shortcoming, that inconsistency go into the hands of Yahweh and choose not to pick it up again, dwell on it, or nurse the hurt. Because we love, we cover over what we do not like in another person, defending their character within the limits of truth and giving up our right or desire for revenge or justice. Instead of focusing on the faults, imperfections, or mistakes of each other, love chooses to focus on the positive and the good. But it’s a struggle! Bearing all things requires sacrifice and selflessness; really, nothing short of HaMashiach in us!

    Love protects against the enemy without. We do not choose all of our circumstances. Life can be hard, but love supports what is placed upon us, standing up under the weight of it, no matter what tomorrow brings. Love bears the pressures, faces the trials, and does not give up. In addition to the trials that come in life, we will face many temptations. The enemy of our souls would love nothing less than our marriages destroyed, our families torn apart, and our characters demeaned. We must be on guard, ready to protect from whatever strikes. When attacked from without, love acts as a shield, keeping out the threats, not allowing them access to the person or the relationship. Like a roof keeps out rain or walls protect from wind, love is a shelter, a guard or defence; it bears all manner of danger from without and from within. Wow!

    REMEMBER: The Yahweh-kind of love covers, supports and protects from within and without the relationship.

    CONFESSION: The Yahweh-kind of love is shed abroad in my spirit by the Holy Ghost and I function in its reality in my relationships today. My love bears all things. My love covers, supports and protects the people in my world from within and without making us experience heaven on earth in our lives today and forever. Hallelujah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: By the manifestation of this love, I decree the restoration of relationships today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
