A relationship with no arguments is a
relationship with a lot of secrets and
sometimes secretive relationships aren’t so
good. Disagreements in relationships are
healthy. They help partners to get to know
more of each other’s LIKES and DISLIKES. When disagreements arise between partners
it doesn’t mean that they should just end a
relationship. Sometimes a break up is not a
solution to minor misunderstandings that
can be solved. Talking things out is better
than letting go of a relationship you
have kept for many years.

Whenever disagreements come up in your relationship don’t always think of breaking up with your partner as a solution. You just have to text, call or meet your partner and you have a
straight heart to heart talk. If you were the
one in wrong admit and say SORRY to your
lover. I am sure if your partner truly loves you he or she will forgive you and your relationship will go on. Don’t feel so big to say sorry to your lover. Saying sorry takes nothing from you it’s just a small word which quickly soothes the tension or the pain between lovers but very many people out there fail to say it.

Say it whenever you are in wrong so that you can save your relationship and always mean it.

WHETHER MARRIED OR NOT MARRIED YOU MUST READ THIS STORY

There was a man who loved his wife very much. He could give her everything he could but the woman never appreciated. Though the man was not rich, he could share all he had with her. He could buy for her clothes and the only thing his wife could say was that the husband was fulfilling his duty as a Man.

The man would buy a dress but in reply, the woman would mock at him, because the dress was of low quality. The man could smile at her wife and tell her "One day, I will become rich and I will buy for you all the expensive things you need."

The woman could never make any phone call unless she was requesting anything from her husband and once her request was not granted, all she could do was to quarrel for days, sometimes fight.

One evening, when the man was coming from work, he bought a kilogram of meat. Happily the poor man, expecting to surprise his wife, reached home and found the wife and showed her the package.

Instead she shouted: "Eh! And you call yourself a man? Which husband, apart from you, comes home with just one kilogram of meat, no cooking oil, no any other ingredients? You better leave it, you good-for-nothing husband." Then she threw the meat to the bush and went back home. The Husband felt low but he never let down his love for her.

One day, the husband felt pain in his left foot, then a Tumour appeared on the foot, it then emerged growing bigger and more painful.

He went to the hospital and was found with cancer, he was poor to have a better medical care. Though he was sick he tried much as he could to provide for his family.

Two years later the condition worsened and he was put in the special care unit, he was operated on and the foot was removed,
but unfortunately it was too late, the disease had affected more parts of the body and at last he called his wife and told him, "LOOK AFTER MY CHILDREN, I feel I can't live any longer though I'll always be with you in spirit, may God be with you"

He then breathed his last and died. The woman, and three children cried, for days, they buried him.

Two months later, the wife was bowing down on her husbands grave as she said these words, "My love, you did all the best to me,
you treated me well and gave me all you could,
but all I could pay you, was endless quarrels and fights. I never realized your importance until when you are now gone, when I am the one to provide food, clothing, education and many others. I remember when I threw away your one Kilogram of meat to the bush, but now I have nowhere to get it. 'THE GOOD DIE YOUNG' that's why you died when you were still young. A husband whom I could mock at but you only smiled at me. I know you are listening to me and I ask you to forgive me. We are all missing your presence as your youngest daughter Diana is always crying asking when you'll be back. You will never leave our hearts
untill we join you. May you Rest in Eternal Peace."

NOTE:
* Always appreciate what you are given, whether small or big.

* Love is not all about how much we have,
but it's all about how we share the little we have.

GODLY CHARACTER IS WHAT BUILDS A FAMILY

Good character is what builds a family but when good character is lacking in a Christian family it can put the marriage in danger and even tore it part.

It is not about material wealth the partners may have or level of education but if Jesus is in the marriage accompanied with godly character towards each other that marriage will work, but if one partner has bad attitude it will tore the marriage apart and it can end up to be a bitter marriage like the One of David and Saul's daughter Michal.

At first Michal loved David and desired to get married to David (1 Samuel 18:20 Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. ) but she failed in character in respect to the man God had given to her as a husband , therefore she was not able to fulfill key responsibility on the life of David , according to the Bible she remained barren the rest of her life for she failed in character.

2 Samuel 6:20-23 And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants' female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” And David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the Lord—and I will celebrate before the Lord. I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.” And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

Proverbs 21:9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

On the other hand, we see Abigail the wife of Nabal because of her exceptional character and respect she showed to David by serving him and his servants and the fear of The Lord she demonstrated toward David even before David was made King of Israel, finally made her to gain favor before the eyes of David and David took her as a wife after her husband died

1 Samuel 25:3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. The woman was discerning and beautiful, but the man was harsh and badly behaved; he was a Calebite.

1 Samuel 25:18-41

Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves and two skins of wine and five sheep already prepared and five seahs of parched grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

And she said to her young men, “Go on before me; behold, I come after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. And as she rode on the donkey and came down under cover of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.

Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he has returned me evil for good. God do so to the enemies of David and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.”

When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from the donkey and fell before David on her face and bowed to the ground. She fell at his feet and said, “On me alone, my lord, be the guilt. Please let your servant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your servant.

Let not my lord regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I your servant did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

Now then, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, because the Lord has restrained you from bloodguilt and from saving with your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal.

And now let this present that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. Please forgive the trespass of your servant.

For the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.

If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God.

And the lives of your enemies he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling. And when the Lord has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you and has appointed you prince over Israel, my lord shall have no cause of grief or pangs of conscience for having shed blood without cause or for my lord working salvation himself.

And when the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”

And David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from working salvation with my own hand! For as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male.”

Then David received from her hand what she had brought him. And he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. See, I have obeyed your voice, and I have granted your petition.”

And Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light. In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. And about ten days later the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the Lord who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from wrongdoing.

The Lord has returned the evil of Nabal on his own head.” Then David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her as his wife. When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, “David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.”

And she rose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, “Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”

There are people who have remained barren, in ministry or family because they failed in Character , may bad character not rob you of your destiny , learn to humble yourself before The Lord and even spiritual authority God has put above you beginning from the house. Shalom.

QUESTIONABLE QUESTIONS (ACTS 5:17-33 )

The high priest and the Sadducees were filled with indignation and put the apostles in prison. But at that night the apostles came out because of the angelic intervention.

Notice the words of the officers to the enquiry committee regarding this: 'the prison shut securely, guards standing outside before the doors but the apostles were not inside' (Acts 5:23).

A clear and supernatural demonstration of God's power was displayed and this forced the committee to wonder about the impossibility of such a kind of deliverance.

When the apostles were again brought to the council, what kind of questions we may expect from the council?
An explanation about the miracle?
The Power behind their escape from prison?
The invisible doors used by the apostles in that much guarded prison?

No, even though they knew about some kind of miraculous things happened previous night, they didn't ask anything about that but willfully asked the apostles only about the reasons behind their arrest(Acts 5: 28).
Why did you preach?,
Why you filled Jerusalem with your doctrine of Jesus? ,
Pre-planned questions!.

How was it possible for the high priest, who was supposed to know the law, to ask these kind of questions by willfully ignoring a supernatural act of God just happened?.

Questionable questions!

Don't worry about the high priest & co.

What about us?
Eventhough we tasted God's gracious miracle of salvation in our life, when dealing with difficulties or hardships, how many times we asked foolish questions about HIS love, His timings and His methods?.
How many times, instead of pondering over the miracles, we are blindly finding fault with the methods of others?

God sends miracles to you and your neighborhood to silence some of the questions but if we ignore HIS answers and willfully ask the pre-planned questions as if no miracle happened, what is the difference between us and that high priest?.

Questions are needed to grow in faith but before asking any question just praise and worship Him with a grateful heart for the already received blessings and miracles; That will silence most of your questions and will change your spiritual perspective effectively!

Come, let us bow down and worship Him!

Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wondrous works.
(Psalm 119:27).

COCOON (2 SAMUEL 2:11)

The length of time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Is it not strange that David ruled only Judah, and not the whole Israel, for more than seven years?.

The main hindrance for David to become the King of Israel, Saul, got killed along with Jonathan in the war with the Philistines; but even then it took so many years for David to become the King of Israel!.

Anointed by the great prophet Samuel, killed the giant Goliath valiantly, responsible for many victories as a captain of Saul's army, well known to all the Israelites for so many years and faithful follower of God!.

But all these things were strangely not sufficient enough to make him as the king of Israel;
A parallel kingdom of Israel started functioning under the supervision of Abner!.

Even when Saul was no more, David was not accepted immediately as the king of Israel.
Wandering in the wilderness for so many years, like a caterpillar, and then forced to stay inside a small area, is it the cocoon period of David in the land of Judah?
Only when that period was over all the Israelites accepted him as their king!.

The cocoon phase; how much we all need that!.
Sometimes we assume that we are anointed, specially gifted, victorious in so many spiritual activities and well-known to many but strangely the outcome, growth and promotion are not as we expected; we are assigned a smaller kingdom even when there is no qualified or better person to take up the leadership position in the larger kingdom!.

How we handle this kind of cocoon phase patiently and faithfully, like David, is very very important to have strong wings for our future assignments.

If we murmur, complain, get frustrated and depressed because of the prolonged cocoon phase at Judah, we may not be able to control and rule the whole Israel in the next phase!.

Waiting, waiting and waiting?
Waiting without any reason or opposition?
Waiting even when everyone acknowledges your potential?.

Do your Israel sized prayers get only Judah sized answers?

Wait; do the assigned work in Judah; be faithful in the cocoon phase; trust God and continue to praise Him!

At the right time God will open the right doors, send the right persons, and fulfill the prophecy and honour you!.

Don't try to cut short the cocoon phase; Why waste your potential of flying?

His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord (MATTHEW 25:21).

SO SOW ANYWAY!
(JEREMIAH 25:11-13)

Jeremiah faithfully obeyed God's instructions and prophesied about the destruction of Judah and Jerusalem by Babylon.

But his messages were not welcomed by the people, priests and prophets of his time. Consequently even some of the kings of Judah went to the extreme of assuming Jeremiah as a traitor supporting Babylon.

This resulted in sufferings, mockings, imprisonments, beatings, rejections, hunger and sleepless nights in the life of Jeremiah most of the times.

Even his writings were burnt (JEREMIAH 36:3) and Jeremiah's work looked like an impactless ministry; a failure model!.

But he continued his prophetical ministry faithfully against all the odds; but surprisingly from the so called impactless ministry, the fruits started showing up one by one in a distant land.

Daniel, from the royal background, took hold of Jeremiah's prophecy about seventy years captivity and started praying at Babylon for the restoration of his land (DANIEL 9:1).

Even though Jeremiah was not having the chance to go to Babylon because of the remnants at Jerusalem ( JEREMIAH 43 : 5 - 7 ), his words were doing their work at Babylon.

Not just Daniel, even Ezekiel, from the priestly background, also got influenced by Jeremiah's work and started prophesying at the banks of Chebar of Babylon.

Remember, Daniel, his friends and Ezekiel were all probably 20 to 30 years younger than Jeremiah and hence had a chance to listen to Jeremiah's messages at Jerusalem before Babylonian captivity. And we don't know how many more Jews at Babylon got influenced by Jeremiah's work.

Yes, from the so called Jeremiah's impactless ministry of that time, the seeds for future ministries were silently sown in the hearts of at least few people in the crowd; And in the right time, they all started to show the fruits.

Worrying about the impact of your work?.
Comparing yourself with some of the popular servants and getting depressed?.
Trying to slow down by seeing the continuous rejections and repulsions?.

Fear not; our God works in mysterious ways!.
He will not allow His faithful servants' efforts to die without any impact.
Our part is sowing the seeds faithfully as per His directions and His part is to bring the harvest at the right time.

Who knows, in the so called impactless work of you, how many Daniels and Ezekiels are getting mentored for their future assignments!.
So sow anyway!.

As you do not know what is the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God Who makes everything.
In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good
(ECCLESIASTES 11:5-6)

A LEGACY THAT LASTS

Hebrews 11:7 “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household…” (NKJV)

What is your impression of the faith heroes in the Bible? You might think of men and women who stood in front of a giant, or calling fire down from heaven, or splitting the sea. You are right! Hebrews 11 is full of people like that — warriors, prophets, kings. But sandwiched in between the middle of those mighty miracles are three names that don’t seem to fit the pattern. Noah, Moses’ parents, and Rahab.

Why is their faith so exceptional? They saved their families. They weren’t generals in battle or leaders of nations. They didn’t slay giants or call down fire. But they had something so powerful. They had family faith. The kind of faith that fights not for fame or recognition, but for the souls of those living under their roof.

Noah built an ark before he ever saw rain, simply because God said do it. And what did that faith produce? His entire household was saved. Moses’ parents defied the king’s command and hid their son, believing God had a purpose for him. Rahab risked her life to protect the people of God, and in doing so, she preserved her family’s future. That is the kind of faith God honours. Faith that fights for your family.

You may never stand in a pulpit, write a book, or part the sea, but if your faith leads your children to Jesus, if your prayers cover your spouse, if your worship makes its way into the hearts of your household, then you are a hero in God’s eyes.

Heaven does not measure greatness by public platforms. It measures it by private obedience.

Your greatest accomplishment may not be something the world sees, but something your family becomes.

God honours the kind of faith that says, “I am not just getting to heaven, I am bringing my family with me.” So keep building the ark. Keep praying when no one sees. Keep standing in faith when it seems like nothing is changing. You are doing more than you know. And in God’s eyes, you are building a legacy that lasts.

Today, call your family aside, tell them about the love of God, do not hesitate anymore.

DISCERN THE VOICE OF THE ENEMY

1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Friend, even though our enemy was defeated when Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, the challenge is that he makes a lot of noise, going about like a roaring lion. He’s not a lion. He can’t overpower you. He can’t control your destiny. He’s like a lion, which means he’s loud. He’ll roar negative thoughts, such as, “That sickness will be the end of you. You’ll never meet the right person. You’ve made too many mistakes. There’s nothing good in your future.” Do yourself a favor: Ignore the roar. Don’t believe his lies.

When those thoughts come, just give him the zero sign. Remind him, “You have no power over me. You’ve already been defeated. Because I belong to God, I will walk in victory. I will live and not die. I will prosper and succeed. I will stay in peace amid the storm.” When you know that what comes against you has already been defeated, it changes your outlook. You won’t live in fear, worried about your future, or let doubt hold you back. You’ll move forward knowing that God has already taken care of anything you face. The path has already been cleared.

when the enemy is roaring, bombarding you with thoughts of doubts and fears, resist him, be firm in the faith. Be confident that he does not have any power over you. Do not be intimidated into backing down, and do not believe the roar. Selah

SHALL WE DO IT?
(DANIEL 6:18-20)

Daniel was cast into the den of lions by the conspiracy of the enemies; The king Darius himself was trapped in by the conspirators to seal the den!.

Even though Darius was not able to do anything to protect Daniel because of the legal reasons, that night he mourned, fasted and avoided sleep!.
As Daniel was an efficient administrator in Darius' kingdom, we can understand his pain and frustrations.

But, what forced Darius to check the den in the early morning to find out Daniel's condition?.
Was it possible for anyone to escape the wrath of the hungry lions inside the den?.
Was not Daniel's end got sealed the previous night itself along with the den?.

Instead of just continuing his mourning, checking the den;
Was it faith or hope?.
A heathen king, but went to the extreme of speaking to Daniel, who was inside the den, as if Daniel was just taking rest inside?.
Was it because of his belief in the living God and His power?.

In fact, his early morning enquiry only paved the way for the stones to be rolled so that Daniel could come out; If not, there was a possibility that atleast till the next meal time of the lions, Daniel might have been forced to stay inside. Few more hours or days who knows, as the den was sealed.

Do we have this kind of concern for our fellow brethren and servants of God?.
Whenever we come to know about a problem or crisis in a fellow brethren's life, in what way we respond?.
Is it just one more information?.
Just a data or statistic?.

Whatever might be the reason behind the crisis in the life of a servant of God, do we empathize and pray?.

Do we have the habit of atleast checking their condition even if we can't do anything to help them?.
Like Darius checked Daniel even though he was powerless to do anything because of the legal traps?.
Fasting, mourning, avoiding sleep and early morning enquiry; from a heathen king!.

And we claim that we are one body and strangely think just about our own comfort and plan a possible replacement for 'Daniels'!.

Who knows, sometimes, even our sincere enquiry may also become a tool of deliverance for those lonely and suffering servants.

Darius, a heathen king, did that;
Shall we do it?.

Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.
(HEBREWS 13:3).SHALL WE DO IT?
(DANIEL 6:18-20)

DO NOT LOSE YOUR VALUE

Do you know that losing interest on someone does not always mean that the person has lost his or her value? A lot of people still look back at people they left behind and feel bad that they did.

A man once said "My biggest mistake in life which I can never recover from was asking my girlfriend of four years to leave. She never did me anything wrong. I just met a lady who had two cars and was almost an operation manager with a bank. Finally, we married but where are we today?
My girlfriend struggled and finished the university and today, she works with UNICEF. Every time we meet, she is still the same humble and vision-driven woman. I failed myself and God"

Many women and men are saying this same thing this man was saying. Almost all of us have thrown away gold to buy grave. You are not a failure just because someone rejected you. People who cannot handle your value will quit from you. Never agree with any situation that you have lost your value. Every day, we read about women and men committing su***de for losing relationships. The factor there isn't about losing relationship but losing self value recognition. If someone steals ten dollars from you and you know very well that you have ten thousand dollars inside your bag, how would you feel? You will still feel rich and happy. Knowing your value will help you cope with rejection. Su***de won't cross your mind. The only thing that will cross your mind is your future. You keep driving on. If someone does not value you, a more better person will do. Don't die for Tom until you have met Harry. Your life is not built around Tom. it could even be built beyond Harry.

Don't let where people stop with you become where you take your own stop. The word "future" means 'never ending'. You don't have to end anything today.

The bible said, "No eyes have seen. No ear has heard. Nor has it entered the hearts of men what God has prepared for those who love Him" -1 Corinthians 2:9. The wrong people are permitted to be blind to your value. Make the best decision of life and live inside your decisions. As a man or woman, don't turn a pr******te for a heart break. That is a stupid revenge. You are just hurting yourself and not the other person. Turn to a big star success. Success is the biggest revenge in life.
