MARRIAGE

November 11, 2009 by bakianathan
Husband and Wife are Co-Rulers Together

God created the institution of marriage so that both husband and wife could be co-rulers

on the earth. Conducting your marriage by God’s manual—the Bible—is the only

guarantee for success.

Do not be concerned with what your spouse is doing. Instead, concentrate on what

you should be doing.

There are some things that spouses should never do or say to one another.

1. Wives should never be critical of their husbands.

a. A wife should never tell her husband that he is not a real man.

b. Don’t nag, but let your quiet spirit and godly conversation win him over (1

Peter 3:1).

2. Husbands should never speak harshly toward their wives.

a. Never tell your wife that you hate her.

3. Don’t be led by your emotions.

a. When you are hurt, you will say the wrong things.

b. The things you say may damage your relationship beyond repair.

c. When you do say hurtful things to one another, repent to one another

and make- up your minds to never be unkind again

Husbands and wives are co-rulers through partnership.

1. You cannot show love for and support of others and not show it to your spouse.

2. A wife is not less of a person than her husband; they are equal partners in the

marriage.

3. Wives should communicate their love for their husbands by supporting them.

If you do not support your husband, you are not showing him love.

Invest in the inner man.

1. Make sure you invest in the hidden man of the heart, which is your spirit (1 Peter

3:4).

2. Cultivate a meek spirit.

a. A meek spirit refuses to contribute to chaos in the home.

b. A meek spirit is one that is peaceful.

Wives should make sure that they are not the cause of marital problems.

1. Manipulation, crying and complaining do nothing to contribute to a stable

household.

a. Husbands and wives must get rid of the baggage in their lives so that they

can have a healthy relationship.

b. A virtuous woman guides her house into peace (Proverbs 31:10-28).

Husbands are to dwell with their wives according them due honor and respect.(1 Peter

3:7).

1. Every husband needs to take responsibility for his marriage.

a. Husbands should educate themselves on marriage.

i. Read books.

ii. Listen to tapes.

iii. Go to seminars.

b. Don’t operate according to the world’s system concerning marriage.

i. Do not listen to talk shows and television for advice and counsel.

c. Read the best marriage manual ever written—the Bible.

d. Conducting your marriage according to God’s method guarantees that your

marriage will be healthy, wholesome, prosperous and happy.

i. You have to understand the different roles in marriage

Co-rulership is the partnership of life.

1. You and your spouse are heirs together in the kingdom of God.

a. When you are in agreement, your prayers are not hindered (1 Peter 3:7).

2. Co-rulers are two people jointed together in the adventures of marriage and life.

a. If a spouse is treated as “less than,” his or her partner will be discouraged.

Bitterness, discouragement and hardness of heart can occur as a result.

b. When a husband and wife treat each other as joint-partners, they empower

themselves and their relationship.

3. Husbands should treat their wives as partners.

a. Involve your spouse in all major decisions.

b. Treat one another with mutual respect and honor.

You and your spouse are to be of one mind.

1. It takes time, patience, commitment and communication to become one with

another person in the area of your soul.

a. Be compassionate, caring, sympathetic and kind in order to achieve oneness

of mind.

b. Effective communication occurs when two people clearly understand one

another.

c. When you are not talking to each other (the silent treatment), the devil will

talk to both of you.

i. Make sure to continue communicating—even when you are frustrated.

2. The Word of God is the final authority.

3. Allow the Bible to settle every argument.

Above all put all of your trust in God alone. He will take care of everything for you

COST OF DISCIPLESHIP

November 4, 2009 by bakianathan

Gospel
Lk 14:25-33

Great crowds were traveling with Jesus,
and he turned and addressed them,
“If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, 
wife and children, brothers and sisters,
and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple.
Which of you wishing to construct a tower
does not first sit down and calculate the cost
to see if there is enough for its completion? 
Otherwise, after laying the foundation
and finding himself unable to finish the work
the onlookers should laugh at him and say,
‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’ 
Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down
and decide whether with ten thousand troops
he can successfully oppose another king
advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? 
But if not, while he is still far away,
he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. 
In the same way,
everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be my disciple.”

Secrets to attaining prosperity

November 3, 2009 by bakianathan
Prosperity Overflow:
Eight Steps to Your Destination (I)

God wants His people to enjoy life in abundance, to the full, until it overflows. This is fulfilling the will of God. When you focus on the Word of God, you will begin to experience true prosperity and be able to bless others as well.

Believers must use their God-given authority on the earth.

1. Never forget that Satan’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:7-10).

a. Do not give him authority over things in your life.

b. God does not stop the devil because He has given Believers the authority to stop Satan themselves.

i. There is no need to tolerate sin or lack in your life.

2. Heaven is waiting to hear what you have to say about your situation.

a. Begin prophesying what you want to see in your life.

b. Don’t say things that empower the devil. Instead, say things that empower heaven.

Jesus came so that you might have and enjoy life in abundance, to the full, until it overflows (John 10:10, AMP).

1. If you are not enjoying life, you are not fulfilling the will of God for your life.

2. Money cannot define prosperity and abundance.

3. Abundance applies to every area of life—relationships, health, finances, etc.

4. Real prosperity is having everything you need to do what God has called you to do.

5. Prosperity is an expression of God’s love.

6. When God told Adam he could have all the trees in the garden it was an expression of His love

A Pastor with Guts-(At the Opening Session of the US Senate)

A Pastor with GUTS!

Thought you might enjoy this interesting
prayer given in Kansas at
the opening session of their Senate. It seems

prayer still upsets some
people.. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open

the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is

what they heard:
*Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask
your forgiveness and to seek your direction and
guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those
who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we
have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed
our values.

We have exploited the poor and called it
the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it
welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it
choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our
children and called it building self esteem..

We have abused power and called it
politics.

We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions
and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values
of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts
today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Amen! ****

The response was immediate. A number of
legislators walked out during the prayer in
protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian
Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than
5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls
responding negatively. The church is now receiving
international requests for copies of this prayer
from India , Africa and Korea .

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on
his radio program, ‘The Rest of the Story,’and
received a larger response to this program than any
other he has ever aired.

With the Lord’s help, may this prayer sweep
over our nation and wholeheartedly become our
desire so that we again can be called ‘one nation
under God.’

If possible, please pass this prayer on to
your friends. ‘If you don’t stand for something,
you will fall for everything.’

Think about this: If you forward this
prayer to everyone on your
e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be
heard by the world.

How many people in your address book will
not receive this prayer…..do you have the guts to pass it on?
