Why does marriage fail and Woman dominate over Man?

Romans 5:12 says that sin entered through one man. This ‘man’ mentioned in the bible is not a general term referring to mankind but specifically to a particular man. Sin entered through one man and that is Adam. God made Adam the head over all things in the Garden of Eden as we look back at the bible in Genesis 2. Adam was also given the responsibility of works and Adam was commanded not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. All things were perfect and beautiful until sin entered the world through Adam. This explains why things do not go well with businesses, family relationships, careers and even within the nations. Sin has stained everything that God created which was originally beautiful and perfect. (more…)

On Judgement Day, all the people were queuing up to enter heaven. God decided to divide the people into three lines. The first line was for the men who were dominated by their wives while living on earth. The second line was for the men who dominated their wives during their lives on earth. The third line was for all the women. God looked at the first two lines and saw that one was longer than the other.

The first queue was really long and God was greatly disappointed to see that there were so many men who failed to fulfil their destiny set by God as the head of the household. Their lives were completely controlled by their wives. But God saw that there was one man in the second line. Finally, there was one man who lived up to his calling. God turned to all the men in the first queue and told them to follow the good example of the one man in the second line. However, God was really curious as to how he did it. He turned to the man and asked him for his secret formula on how he managed to control his wife and not let her dominate his life. The man turned to God and said, “I don’t know, God. My wife told me to stand in this line so I obeyed.” (more…)

The Letter ‘U’ – Use your experience to help others

When God allows events to happen in our lives, it is not for fun nor is He a God who enjoys watching His people suffering. He always has a purpose for allowing events to take place and for us to learn valuable lessons from it. And through the events, He revealed Himself to us as He shows us the way out. When we went out of the situation victorious, the journey does not end there. God wants us to help others going through the same trials and to offer comfort to others with the same comfort we received from God (2 Corinthians 1:6). We cannot comfort others unless we are first comforted by God. Having gone through the same experience and knowing how to walk out of it, we can share with others God’s faithfulness and how God can meet others in their trials, too. We are also able to offer help and they can receive the same comfort from God as well. (more…)

The Letter ‘D’ – Direct your Attention to Jesus Christ/God

Have you ever asked a question and received many answers back in return? I do. Sometimes, I wonder why people have so many opinions about a matter. At times, these opinions are not invited and unwelcome. There are people out there who are easily affected by what others think about themselves or be highly sensitive to remarks made whether at them or at the situation. Still, there are others who seek the approval of men and to please them. If you are one such person, you will find that your emotions are like a yo-yo swinging up and down. You feel happy and high when you receive praises from people. But when criticism and negative remarks come, you begin to doubt yourself and even agreed with what others have to say about you. If you look at the world and rely on what people have to say about you, you will be depressed. But if you look at Jesus, you will be at rest. (more…)

The Letter ‘N’ – Nuture your Spiritual Roots

It is crucial that when we go through trials, we have our feet strongly rooted in the ground so that we do not be swayed about by the winds. There are many Christians whose roots are not strongly grounded in the word of God. Mark 4:16-17 tells us of the parable where the seed (word of God) falls on stony ground but because the seed does not have any root, it soon dies away when tribulations and persecutions come as a result of the word. These are people who give up easily when they have to go through hard times and they succumb to temptations to look for an easy way out. Why is this so? The reason is because there is no depth of character which explains for them falling away when trials come. (more…)
