SEVEN THINGS YOU SHOULD GIVE YOUR SPOUSE DAILY

When it comes to giving, many married people are generous to everybody except their spouses. There are seven things you should give your spouse daily – not weekly, monthly or annually. They are things you must give your spouse daily. Let’s see them:

1. Give Your Spouse A TOUCH

One of the ways to bond with your spouse is to give him or her a touch. We have encouragement touch, affirmation touch, healing touch, apology touch, and we have sexual touch. Study your partner and know what touch to give at a particular time.

If you want God to touch your marriage, touch your spouse. Don’t let today go without you touching your spouse!

2. Give Your Spouse SPACE

As much as you need to bond with your spouse and be together for daily intimacy, communication, affection, planning, etc., you still need to give your spouse his or her space. There is time for couples’ prayers, time for couples’ bonding. Also there is time for personal prayer, personal meditation, personal rest, personal planning, etc.

Don’t choke your spouse. Don’t be over-possessive and over-demanding to your spouse. Stop unnecessary policing and monitoring. Give your spouse the space they need when they need it.

3. Give Your Spouse A CALL/CHAT

Some people can chat with all the contacts on their phone and all the people on their Face book friends list but they will never chat with or call their spouse all through the day.

Chatting with or calling your spouse in a day at work is a way of saying, “Dear, despite my busy schedule, I have you in mind. I am thinking about you.”

Make sure you send a chat, or give a call, to your spouse today. Make it a habit; it is beneficial to both of you. Nobody can be tired of receiving a caring chat or a call from someone they love.

4. Give Your Spouse A HUG

Hugging is fast disappearing in many marriages today. Research has proved that hugging is one of the emotional needs of every human being. It is the scarcity of spousal hugs that makes many men indiscriminately hug ladies who are not their wives. Many women too crave for hugs and unwittingly allow every Tom and Jerry to hug them because their husbands are not giving them hugs.

Hugs can be given in the morning, or at night, but let no day pass without you hugging your spouse. It is one valuable thing you must give your spouse. It could be a welcoming hug, a goodbye hug, an appreciating hug, or an affirmative hug.

Hugging is a non-verbal means of communication. Use it well. Don’t let your husband or wife crave for a hug from strangers when you are still alive. Hug passionately! Hug romantically.

5. Give Your Spouse A SMILE

God smiles on a home when couples smile at each other. A smile is a way of telling your spouse, “You delight me,” “Your presence amuses me,” “I am pleased with you.”

Frowning at your spouse is not a thing that should last a whole day. One of the ways to know your marriage is SMELLING is when you are not SMILING with each other. Smile. It is one of the best gifts you can give your spouse in a day.

I don’t like people who are not generous with their smiles. It is free. You don’t need to pay to smile. Just relax your muscles and smile. Couples, please smile! Keep smiling! To prevent your marriage from smelling, keep smiling with your spouse!!!

6. Give Your Spouse PEACE OF MIND

The home is the endpoint of everything we do daily. If you are a doctor, you can’t sleep in the hospital all the days of your life. You will need to come home. If you are an engineer, you can’t sleep in the site everyday. If you are a lawyer, you can’t sleep in the court everyday. Even as a pastor, you can’t be in the church 24/7. We all must go back home.

Home is the endpoint. Therefore, if your spouse will be excited to come home, it must be a peaceful home. Stop nagging, stop fighting, Stop insulting, stop abusing, stop threatening, and stop humiliating your spouse. Give him/her rest of mind. Give your wife rest of mind.

Be the head of your wife sir, not the headache of your wife. Madam, be a wife to your husband, not a ‘knife’. Blessed are the couples who give each other peace of mind daily!

7. Give Your Spouse A PRAYER

No matter how wealthy or highly connected you are, there are things you cannot do for your spouse. You are limited. One of the ways to show love to your spouse is to commit him/her to the unlimited God. Say a word of prayer for your spouse daily.

Every other thing may fail and may not work, but no force can withstand the power of prayer. You can’t heal your spouse, only God can heal him/her. You can’t lengthen the days of your spouse. Only God can do that. You can’t save your spouse. You can’t take away addiction and evil habits from your spouse , only God can do that for him/her..

10 Kinds Of Men You Should Never Bring To Your Father For Marriage:

If you're a smart and wise lady, there are various kinds of men you should never introduce to your family. The introduction can wait, if the man exhibits any or all of these traits!

1. Don't introduce a stranger. Don't bring someone you don't know very well, simply because you're under pressure to marry.
Never marry a stranger!

2. Never introduce a man you don't know what he does for a living. If he is spending money but he's not working, report him to the Anambra State government .

3. Never introduce a man that beats you.
You should end the relationship, and not try to take it to another level. What you tolerate while dating, will amplify in marriage.

4. Don't introduce a man that attacks / violates your core values as a lady. A man who doesn't respect your boundaries shouldn't have the privilege of meeting your father.

5. Don't introduce a man that sleeps with your friends. He may sleep with your own sister one day. Don't bring a serial womanizer home, no matter how romantic he is.

6. Don't introduce a jobless and lazy man.
A lazy man is a man who has no plans, goals, vision and who is not motivated in life.

7. Never introduce a man that his family and friends are forcing to marry you. If he's not excited about marrying you, don't introduce him to your father.

8. Don't introduce a man that is only attracted to your physical qualities, for example, your shape.
His love for you is superficial, it may not stand the test of time.

9. Never introduce a man who has no regard for your faith, tribe, and culture. Marriage is both spiritual and cultural.

10. Never introduce a man that hates his father.
If he hates his father for no reason, you shouldn't bring him home to meet your father/family.

I trust you will make the right choice!

TOPIC: "TAKE YOUR PLACE IN CHRIST"

SATURDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2025. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
-------------------------------------------------
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses (Acts 13:38-39)

What we just read brings to mind what the Bible says in Romans 3:24, that we've been justified freely by grace through the redemption that's in Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Christ we've received remission of sins, the complete removal of sins, and by Him we've been justified from all things, from which we couldn't be justified by the Law of Moses.

That means we've been declared acquitted, free from all charges and accusations. Blessed be God! Jesus made it so. He took your place so that you might take His place. Taking your place in Christ is what Christianity is about. Take what He gave up for you; take the place He has given you your new place in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Take your place of righteousness and express the will and nature of the Father. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." This is your new place the place of wealth and abundance.

Also, read Ephesians 2:4-5 and see your place: "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)." You've been raised up together and made to sit together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. This signifies a place of authority; you're recognized in the heavenly realm as a man or woman of dominion. Blessed be God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank You for the place You've given me in Christ-a place of glory, dominion, wealth, abundance and power. I walk in the consciousness of this reality, expressing Your will, nature and purpose as I reign and rule in life, exercising authority over circumstances, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

TOPIC: "INTIMACY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT"

THURSDAY 6TH FEBRUARY 2025. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
-------------------------------------------------
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14).

The foundational principles of developing a personal and intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is through the Word of God and prayer. It's important to yield to Him through the Word and deepen your relationship with Him through prayer. Every relationship without communication dies, irrespective of what that relationship is, whether it's the relationship between parents and their children, spouses, co-workers, etc.

On the other hand, good communication nourishes and enhances relationships. If you're going to have a richer fellowship with the Holy Spirit, you need to commune effectively with Him in prayer. He's a person, and you've got to relate to Him as a person. Read our opening scripture again; it indicates the kind of relationship we're supposed to have with the Lord.

The Father is in heaven, and Jesus has gone to heaven; only the Holy Spirit is here with us. The God we know and relate to today is the Holy Spirit. He makes the presence of the Father and the presence of Jesus real to you. So, learn to talk to Him. That's why speaking in tongues is also vital. Speak in tongues often.

The Apostle Paul serves as a great example of a successful Christian and minister, and one of his secrets was fellowship with the Holy Spirit through prayer. He said, "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all" (1 Corinthians 14:18). If Paul realized it was necessary for him to speak in tongues so much that he could say he spoke with tongues more than the whole Corinthian church, then you must recognize its importance. Speak in tongues every day and every so often, and build a sturdy relationship with the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit; I recognize His presence in my life and yield fully to His leading. As I fellowship with Him, my spirit is built strong, and I'm empowered to live victoriously, every day, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Dear Singles, please come closer

Relevant Questions You Should Ask During Courtship that May Be seen As Not Important

Ask your proposed partner if they SNORE while sleeping. Don't look at me that way, it's not bad to snore but you've to know if they do, so you can prepare yourself to enjoy and endure their snoring nature forever. Romantic snoring☺

Ask them if they observe Morning devotion, so you don't end up praying alone or them telling you that they do their devotion in their heart or workplace. Two of you praying together should be the spiritual goal

Ask them if they can sweep, wash, cook, and iron. It might look like they can do it till you ask them and then you will know that they can't or aren't so good at doing it. Then you will have to be doing it ALONE. That's stressing and unprepared of you, you know

Ask them if they prefer sleeping with the light on or off. So if you're the opposite of them, you will start adjusting your body system to that

Ask them how they react when they are angry. Are they sensitive to jokes, etc? Woooh!! Make person no tell you "Am I your mate?", 'Do you know who I am " or break plates on top of your head. Mbok o

Ask them and make deep inquiries too to know if they are married or have been married before or probably have a child out of wedlock. So you don't wake up one day to the biggest shock of your life and stories that keep touching the heart.

Ask them how many times they eat surplus and stored food. Except you want to be cooking every day because your partner no gree eat one particular food twice abi thrice

Ask them where they start undressing after work Some partners, start from the sitting room. You will find one leg of his socks in the parlour, their bra or tie in the kitchen and their shirt or trouser on the bedroom floor, ewoo

Ask them if they prefer sleeping on an arranged or scattered bed. Yes, ask oo. Some partners can comfortably sleep on a scattered bed with their dirty clothes on top and they just won't mind. But won't you mind? Abi you fit follow them sleep liadat? Na liadat fight dey start too.

Ask them of their source of income. The kind of work they do. Is there any Plan B or C in case things don't go as you both planned? Ask ooo. You need money to run the affairs of your home

Ask them how many children they would need, if children are not forth coming as soon as they expected, what next Are they open to adoption Will you guys still stick together, Abi Dem go try second wife

Lastly, for now, Ask them how they squeeze their toothpaste, from the button abi from the top? Asks oo. Some marriages have been dissolved because of this matter🤦🏽‍♀️.

IF they are not virgins! Ask about their sexual life. I won't go deeper on this one but just ask them how many times you can be having sex. I know some sex periods could be so impromptu. Don't look at me that way, I read, for enlightenment's sake because there's nothing wrong with knowing this. Let them know how far your body can manage and respond to the sex moment. (If you already have an experience before salvation) If both of you are virgins Mbok ask oo.....AND don't neglect to ask them about their purpose and vision in life. A visionless home is hopeless.

If we take time to observe, we will know that sometimes LITTLE and unnecessary issues cause big misunderstandings in some homes.

No question is more or less important during courtship. Courtship is the BEST time to know a bit of everything about your partner, so you can prepare yourself enough for the outcome.

Here's me praying for you and me today, May our marriages truly make us happy.
May we not regret the choice of partner we finally get to settle with. May our children emulate our goodly and godly lifestyle. May our homes be beautiful ones. May our homes be filled with Love, Security and Trust.

Above all may God be the third cord of our marriages. May there be peace, both internally and externally and May God grant all of us our positive heart desires

WHAT IS LOVE IN A VERY SHORT EXPLANATION.
Because honestly sometimes or should I use most times love has been misrepresented and misrepresented so let’s have a short meaning for it.

Love is an intricate emotion that touches many aspects of life, from biology to philosophy, culture to personal experience. It is the foundation for deep connections and personal growth, offering both joy and challenges. Whether it’s the love between a romantic partner, family members, or friends, or even the love one has for themselves, love is a driving force that shapes much of human behavior. The diversity of love in its various forms makes it a powerful and complex experience, influencing everything from individual actions to global societies. #motivation #wfwizzy190 #inspiration

Roman numerals can be funny sometimes if,you are not certain.

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
