It's a new day. Welcome to your season of grace. The Lord will perfect all that concerns you in Jesus name. I started the series of Multi-dimensional You! by laying the foundation of your position in God's creation. Also, you did not just drop from heaven to earth but God channelled your coming through your earthly parents, to whom you are obliged to respect and honour.
This week, I will be teaching You As Husband / Wife. If you are yet to be married, one day, you shall be and this truth will set you free from every marital crisis.
In this dimension, you are a wife to your husband and a husband to your wife. At your marriage, your husband/wife relationship is established. I want to encourage us to ensure that you maintain a healthy husband/wife relationship. The success of this dimension of your life has a lot to do with you, and not with the priest, the pastor or minister that joined you together.
Gods' Word in Matthew 19: 4-6 says: ...that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate (NIV).
The issue of leaving and uniting with your husband / wife is not just on the physical or following each other about. But let trust and good communication be in place, this will establish your marriage and success in your home.
Most times, due to your Adamic nature, you tend to look up to your spouse seeking for what you can grab and what you can get. Not necessarily in terms of physical or material things, but you seek for attention at all times. Instead of seeking for what appeals to your selfish nature, seek on a continuous basis what you can contribute to your spouse's life.
What can you contribute? One question I often ask myself which I think will be helpful to you is, "What can I do today to add to my husband's life?" I don't have to meet him physically and ask "What can I do to add to your life today?" You don't necessarily have to do that, but there is nothing wrong, if occasion arises, and you ask what you can do for him. Ask yourself what you can do as a plus before today runs out.
As you call on the Spirit of God inside you, He will guide you and show you a particular thing. It may look seemingly little, but as you do it, you may find out that that thing you are doing is actually making the husband/wife relationship between you stronger by the day.
The Bible says: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again(Luke 6:38). This scripture is not just applicable to giving offering in the church or for welfare services, it can be applied in your day-to-day husband and wife relationship.
As a wife, if it means getting hot water for him in the bath, you are adding something to him physically. Whether he thanks you or not, the day you are not there, he will remember, "Oh! If my wife were here now, this water would have been here before I get to the bathroom". So, he is remembering you for good.
As a husband, when last did you tell your wife her that hair is looking nice? As little as this could sound, you are adding to her up-keep and she goes out thinking of your compliment all day.
The first step to take, in order to receive grace to effectively be a good spouse as expected by God, is to give your life to Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Do you want to be born again? Why not say this prayer in faith and you shall be born again! "Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You today as a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose on the third day. Forgive me my sins. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today".
Congratulations! You are now a child of God!
