Happy Fathers day

Operation PUSH Day 4.

The father's love.

Psalm 103:13

I know most of us are celebrating our fathers today. Some of us are also reminiscing bad memories about our fathers.

A father is the Head of the home, his effect is felt deeply in the whole family. If the family does well or crambles, the Father is mostly to blame. He is the priest of the home, he provides for the family. He protects the family physically and spiritually. As the priest of the home, he intercedes and lead all activities be it spiritual and physical.

As children, we depend on our fathers to be present at home to help nurture us. The kind of love and respect we give them is different from that we have for our mothers. We feel secured about asking our fathers to provide for us because we envisage that they have and it's their responsibilities.

Now the utmost Father of us all, once we receive Christ is Our Lord God Almighty. He says in His word, "And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."  2 Corinthians 6:18.
He gives us the mandate and right to be his children. The irony here is, unlike earthly fathers who can disappoint us because they are humans, this our Father God doesn't dissapoint us. This is the good news! Go to your father in heaven and seal that father-child relationship. Trust him as you would innocently trust that earthly father to provide for you.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
Psalms 103:13.
The Lord our Father is ever compassionate to forgive us our sins no matter how grievous we may think they are. Just confess your sins to Him, like the prodigal son in the Bible, he is ever ready to welcome you to His Kingdom.

Today, as we continue waging in war of prayer, let us remember our fathers according to Proverbs 23:24 whish says, The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

If you are hurting because of your father, please ask God for the ability to forgive and move on. In the end, heaven matters. Your soul and salvation matters. After all, we have a better father in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let's us also pray that we approach the throne of Grace with a bona-fide attitude. We have the right to be princes and princesses in his kingdom. Let's cultivate that attitude of children of God. Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be open. Let's note, children respect their fathers.

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

Making the effort part 3 (TAKEN FOR GRANTED?)

Bonjour a tous, We have discussed conciously making up our minds to work on our marriages or relationships.  We have learnt to go to God in difficult situations, we have decided divorce is not an option. Does that mean we give a green pass to our spouse to be unfaithful to us?  Or for our spouses to neglect the core values of spicing up the marriage and keeping it enjoyable.  Marriage is about consisently doing life together. what do we do in our daily lives.  Lets remind ourselves; sleep, wake up, prepare breakfast, eat, take a shower, wash dishes, go to work, attend to peoples needs, come back home, have dinner, take another bath, sleep! Oh I think I left out prayer! And if you have kids under ten(not in all cases), helping them take a bath and getting ready for school and bed.  And making sure they are fed. On weekends its a whole new plan which may include more or less activities.  Can we think of not hurting our spouses or keeping them...
