Revelation of the Word:

THEME: LOVE AND MARRIAGE

Colossians 3:18-19 NIV

”Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.“

INSIGHT 

–These scriptures describe the basic principles of marriage. Wives have been instructed to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord and husband to love their wives. Lack of or abundance of some variable factors like peace, physical and emotional stability, communication, intimacy, financial resources have caused turbulence in marriages, as married couples have forsaken the basic principles. Harshness can be interpreted as lack of love and harsh husbands have catalyzed constant arguments in the family and this is a dominant cause for divorce according to marriage.com. Love and respect therefore go hand in hand and absence of one or both may cause instability in marriage. 

PRAYER 

We thank You Lord for enabling us to see this day. We know that many people have passed on before us but by Your mercy and kindness we are alive today so as to make a difference in the world. Your mercies are new every morning, we thank You. Lord Jesus You have reminded us that we are more valuable than many sparrows, we thank You for loving us. You have called us to be kind to one another, treat one another with tender hearts and forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave us. May You help us to forgive one another in our homes, marriages and relationships, not seven times but seventy-seven times. May You train all married couples to love and respect one another according to Your divine purpose and will. May You teach us to do Your will always. May You grant us favor before You Lord and before men now and forever. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forever more. Amen
