Hello "Men" can you pause for a moment and meditate on 2 Peter 3:7? In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered. NLT. A woman is a special person in God's sight and specially created to be man's helper. Everyone you see on the face of the earth has a woman in his/her life. Where a woman is there is life, joy, fun & multiplication. You are alive today because that woman decided that you live. If a man is not considerate and respectful of his wife, his prayers will not be heard, because a living relationship with God depends on right relationship with others. Jesus said that if you have a problem with a fellow believer, you must make it right with that person before coming to worship (Matthew 5:23, 24). This principle carries over into family relationships. If men use their position to mistreat their wives, their prayers will be hindered. A man who honors his wife as a member of the weaker sex will protect, respect, help, and stay with her. He will be sensitive to her needs, and he will relate to her with courtesy, consideration, insight and good judgment. Men dwell with your wives with knowledge and understanding that you prayer may not be hindered.

TRUST IN THE LORD

Brethren, as we enter the New Year, you may have problems, lost hope troubled, have no joy; I pray that we not need to look at our problems but unto God the all knowing and willing to help in every situation. If we look at Him and trust Him, He is more than ready to meet all the desires of our hearts. Philippians 4:19. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Take a good look at what He says to us in these verses;
The Bible say in Joshua 1:6, 7 that we should be strong and courageous for He is always with us. Not only that be read this;
Isaiah 49: 15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. 16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; Your walls are continually before Me.”
Isaiah 49: 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me," Says the Lord.
Psalms 34: 10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.
Mark 11: 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
All these scriptures tell us that He is will to help us. What we have to do is be strong and courageous to face whatever comes our way knowing He is there to help us. We need to only believe in Him and whatever is troubling us will go away. Remember H is never late nor early but always will be on time to deliver us.
Now as we enter the New Year we just need to trust in the Lord and every thing will fine regardless of what we are going through.
I wish you a happy and blessed year.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR

My dear brother and sister in the Lord,

I greet you with the words of Paul's letter to the Philippians chapter 1:3-6

3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

This month as remember the how God loved us and sent His only son to come and die for us, it is my prayer that we be the people whom the Lord will use next year to touch the lives of many people.

This Christmas as we celebrate His coming, let us remember who we are in Christ. I want you this Christmas think of the word of God in these verses; for I know He has brought Life and would like the world to see this life through us who are called by His name. Romans 12

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Why does the word of God say that? It is because we are salt and light to the world.

13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16

And also when believers stand and pray, the whole land benefit. 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

For that reason, and that God works through us, as we celebrate Christmas, let us think of this great love and be able reach to others.

Have a blessed Christmas and a happy new year.

I remain your brother in the Lord

Moses.

FAITH COMETH BY HEARING

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is
heard through the word of Christ
Romans 10:17

For years; I have discovered that without faith we cannot make progress
in real life as Christians. We have one main adversary-the devil. He
works through all sort of things with diverse gimmicks. The key to
overcome is the faith we have in the WORD, HIS Word.

When you first heard the Word of God, you received faith from God.
Sadly many Christians are struggling with lack of faith. Why is this?
I believe that it is because they have allowed tradition to steal
their faith.

Matthew 6:30 says, “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,
which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not
much more clothe you, O you of little faith?”

Tradition steals faith in three ways—first, tradition takes doubt and
produces unbelief. Second, tradition nullifies the Word of God,
because it trivializes the power of Satan and causes believers to be
ignorant of their own power in Christ Jesus. Third, tradition steals
your faith and hope which causes barrenness in every season.

In order to reclaim what is rightfully yours you must do it in faith.
John 8:54 says, “Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means
nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who
glorifies me.” You have to know the Word of God, believe the Word of
God, apply the Word of God, stand on the Word of God and fight with
the Word of God in FAITH.

The challenge I have for you this day is- if devil failed to stop your
mouth from accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior; he cannot
stop your faith from growing except you allow him. Therefore stir up
your faith today and go forward in Jesus Christ name.
You shall never be limited again at all. Give Him praise.
Have a blessed reading.
Moses

DANGERS OF NOT TAKING OUR MARRIAGE COVENANTS SERIOUSLY

Danger of not taking our marriage covenants seriously!

Marriage is a covenant between man and woman in marriage. Many times we take this covenant lightly and we forget that God honors and very serious with covenants. Most of the time we come before the Lord on our wedding day make covenants before the God and don’t take it seriously and in a few years we divorce. My brothers and sisters, covenants made before the Lord last forever. In proverbs 18:20-22 we read about the power in words and the passage ends by saying “he who finds a wife, does a good thing and finds favor with the Lord” so after we have made our marriage vows, we should honor the Lord by keeping our marriage covenants. If we don’t, then we are sinning against the Lord. So marriage is forever we should not play with it and we should always be sure of our selves before committing our selves to marriage. Remember marriage is a total commitment of the total person for a total life. We always need to ask Him to join us to be one flesh.

Only God can create a “one-flesh” relationship between a man and a woman. Know further that this one flesh condition is created through the making of a vow, and is called a covenant for life; which can be broken only by the physical death of one of the partners. Any offspring of Adam who has become a part of such a covenant must understand this and realize that either partner can violate this covenant repeatedly but it is scripturally impossible to break it.

Let me share with you some rationalizations I often hear. "Yes, I know that remarriage is a sin because marriage is for life, BUT, life long marriages are God’s perfect will, and we have to be realistic. After all, Jesus was teaching God’s ideal, but we know that real life is not like that however. Yes, remarriage is a sin, but if you don’t believe God can forgive that sin of adultery, then you have found ‘the only unpardonable sin.’" Have you heard that before: "The unpardonable sin"? I have had many people present that argument to me. Actually, however, there are several answers to such an argument, and you need to know about them. One man said, "I have a friend who has been remarried for 25 years to the same woman. Does the permanence of their present, long term relationship make a difference?"

I said, "I’ll answer that if you will answer another question for me first." "How many other sins can you name those tend to die of old age?" Does lying? Sodomy? or Prostitution? Do any of these ever quit being sin if you do them long enough? How does the word of God say that we are to classify those who persist in living with anyone other than their first marriage partner, (Even if it is for 50 years.) while their first partner is still alive? In Romans 7:3, Paul the apostle called it a perpetual state of "adultery?" (She shall be called an adulteress.) I fact, in Galatians 1:8 & 9, Paul, who had supernaturally been given revelation truth directly from Jesus Christ, while in the Arabian Desert; said, "though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED."

If we are talking of any sin, the unchanging biblical requirement for forgiveness is not to let it die of old age, but to repent of it, no matter how long it has been going on. It will never change its status; it is SIN! Please know that adultery is SIN; but it is much more than sin. It is the violation of a covenant. I can repent of my sin and be totally forgiven, but repentance and saying you are sorry does not affect, stop or change a covenant. You and I must repent of it, and, if possible, re-establish our relationship through complete forgiveness, or live a celibate lifestyle.

In Joshua 9, Joshua was proceeding to conquer the land promised to them, as God had commanded him to do. He was proceeding as directed, to kill all of the inhabitants of that land. In verse 3, when some of the Amorites, (One of the tribes inhabiting the land that God had commanded Joshua to destroy.) who lived in the city of Gibeon (called Gibeonites) heard that Joshua was coming to destroy them, the scriptures tell us that they decided to fool Joshua with trickery. They put on old clothes, took moldy bread, old wineskins, worn out shoes, and covered themselves with much dust. Then they rode their camels over the hill to meet Joshua and told him that they had come from a far away land, having heard of his great army and his God who was conquering all the nations before him. They said they had come to make a treaty with Israel. Please, make note of this important fact: they were lying through their teeth! In Verse 14 it says that Joshua and his men looked at, and were convinced that they were telling them the truth because of their appearance and the condition of their food and garments. The bible says they "didn’t even inquire of the Lord." Instead, vs. 15 says that Joshua and his leaders, “made a peace covenant with them."

Immediately after this, someone found out that they were not from far away, but instead, from just over the hill. Joshua and his men then realized that they had been lied to. You would think Joshua and his men would have risen up and killed all of them for their lies, and for making them look very foolish. You would think they would have said, like many today would say, "We didn’t know what we were doing, they fooled us." But; but, vs. 18 says, "And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel." These men understood the seriousness of a verbal vow. They didn’t dare touch them. Instead, from then on Joshua not only let them live, but had to protect them from all of their enemies as he and his men had promised they would do in a covenant.

The next time we hear anything about this covenant with the Gibeonites, is in II Samuel 21:1, where it says; "Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the Lord, and the Lord answered, it is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites." Evidentially, Saul was upset because there were so many of the Gibeonites working all around the tabernacle, and had many of them killed.

Remember now; originally, God had commanded Joshua to kill all the inhabitants of the Land. Now Saul had only killed a few, and the Lord had caused a severe drought to come upon the land of Israel because of that killing spree by Saul. God said the drought was Saul’s fault because he had killed these Amorites. Why would God do that to Israel when He had originally said "kill them all?" It was the COVENANT, and God is a Covenant honoring God!

David asked the Lord how he could resolve the problem and he went to the declared what the Lord had told him. He then asked the Gibeonites how he, as king, could honorably resolve this violation of the covenant with them to make atonement for the ones Saul had killed. In accordance with God’s standard for Israel, (if a life be taken, a life must be taken.) the Gibeonites told David to give them seven of Saul’s sons that they might hang them. He did, and they hanged them. In II Samuel 21:14c is a very shocking and enlightening statement: it says; "And after that (after Saul’s seven sons were hanged.) God was entreated for the land." After the covenant was vindicated, God again answered David’s prayer and ended the drought.

Can you imagine how much David must have prayed and wept before the Lord during those three years and had no results, until he had made restitution for the covenant that was devised in deception; but confirmed by God because of the verbal agreement (covenant) that was spoken before God, without seeking His counsel? Once the covenant was stated in His presence, it was acknowledged, confirmed and enforced by God Himself.

How many times have you heard people try to get out of a promise by saying, "I didn’t know what I was saying," or "I didn’t understand the seriousness of what I was saying at that time." To that, God says; "A covenant is a covenant, is a covenant, and I am a Covenant honoring God." - Even a covenant that may have been born in deception, or through flippancy.
THE POWER OF A COVENANT

For another example, look at Genesis 25:29, where we read about Jacob and Esau. Esau had just come in from the field; was very hungry, and asked his brother Jacob for some pottage he was cooking. Jacob evidently immediately saw an opportunity to take advantage of a very unique situation. In verse 31, he said to his brother Esau, "Sell me this day thy birthright." Esau responded by saying, man, I am starving and you are worried about a birthright? "Big deal!" Jacob wisely responded in verse 33 by saying: "Swear to me this day." (Literally: vow to God that it is mine.) The same verse says; "And Esau swore to Jacob" that he could have his birthright. The end of verse 34 says, "Esau despised his birthright."

Many today might say, "That was just two brothers messing around. God certainly isn’t going to get up tight about a little foolish thing like that. A lot of people say dumb things like that and don’t even think about it. I surely hope you wouldn’t try to make a doctrine out of that."

They would be absolutely right about one thing: There are millions of young people today who are making vows before God and many other witnesses, during their marriage ceremonies who are later on saying, it really didn’t mean anything, we were just dumb kids and we didn’t know what life was all about. "God certainly isn’t going to hold us accountable for the promises we made in the excitement of young puppy love." Before anyone gets too comfortable with those thoughts, turn with me to Hebrews 12:14-17. Here, the writer to the Hebrews, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, spoke "God breathed words," that should haunt every person who has treated past covenants lightly.

So as we come back to God’s principals, should always know that He made marriage genesis 2:24-25 and that He is a covenant keeper and that He hates divorce Malachi 2; 13-16.

S o to avoid the temptation and falling in this sin, let us avoid being separated for long, 1corithians 7:3-5, for the tempter comes when there is separations. Remember what he did to Jesus after separating Him from the people and sending Him to the wilderness, he came and tempted Him.

GREAT IDEA

HELLO BELOVED OF God, praise is to his holy name.
As you well know that the devil is fighting to destroy marriages and family values, families being destroyed. Married couples divorcing everyday parents not taking care of their children and children not obeying their parents, break down, we have seen a lot of community break down.
If a family breaks down the community and the nation is bound to get criminals
It is in the family that each one of us develops character. Strong families build strong communities and strong nations
A family is the fabric of every thing good or bad. Morals start from the family but for their family to be successful it .needs to allow God’s guidance. Short of that then many problems happen and a family will not be the same.
Look at
Romans 1:18:32
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, and no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Now beloved of the Lord Jesus Christ as salt and light of this world we raced to help the marriage institution of marriage so for the institution of marriage not to be destroyed, we as believers, we need to go and teach for the Bible says faith comes by hearing
Romans 10:14:17
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.
16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[b] 17 consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Jesus also gave us the commission
Matthew 28:19a
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
Remember we have mind and tongue of he learned.
Is 50:4
4 “The Lord GOD has given me
the tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens me morning by morning;
He awakens my ear
to hear as the learned.
So I have this great idea of building a training centre for both singles and married couples where they come and learn the principles of God’s ward and marriage that we can pressure this scared institution from extinction
Now if you believe marriage scared, is a gift from God and serve God’s purpose in the world, I request you to
1. Stand with us in prayers that this idea comes in to reality
2. Become a partner in developing this school
3. Stand with us financial, we already have land what is remaining is your input.
4. Have a blessed day as you help the institution of marriage. Have the best as you minister to the needs of these people.
