Monday Manna: Intentional Relationship

Scripture of Focus: Genesis 2:15

"The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."

The dictionary defines intentional as “done on purpose; deliberate.” Being intentional with your relationship is like creating a solid foundation. When God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, it was done on purpose. He placed him there for a reason just as he placed us in the relationships we are in at the moment. We are with our wives for a purpose and if we seek that purpose together, only greatness will ensue.

Monday Manna: You have the Authority

Scripture of Focus: Mark 6: 6-7

"He was amazed at their lack of faith.
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits."

There are times where we are tested and are faced with strongholds that hold us down. But did you know that God has given you authority to overcome EVERY evil spirit? You can do it and in doing so, you can become the husband that God has intended for you to be!

From this past Tuesday:

Toolbox Tuesday: “Protection”

Scriptures of focus:

2 Thessalonians 3:3 New International Version (NIV)
3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
Proverbs 2:11-12 New International Version (NIV)
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.
12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse
Isaiah 41:10 New International Version (NIV)
10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

One of our roles as husbands is to protect our family from any outside dangers that might come to them. We take the blunt of the impact when things arise and ensure that they are okay. But…are we really protecting our wives, both spiritually and physically? Are we part of the threat?

We get so focused on what we are doing to ensure that nothing comes in that we sometimes forget to cover them with prayer and love within our own walls. The first thing we should be doing when we wake up in the morning is pray over our wives so that God is with them even when we know that God will do it any way. In this way, they know that we have their backs and we, along with God have them covered.

Things to take away:
- Know that God is the ultimate protector of you, your wife and your marriage. Prayer is the first line of defense.
- Always be conscious of your wife’s surroundings without being controlling.
- Do not put yourselves in a vulnerable environment.
- Listen to the Holy Spirit and be prepared to remove yourselves from any situation at any moment.
