ENJOYING MARRIAGE------PART 36o matter how ugly the situat ion in your home you should never lose hope of having a happy home. Like I mentioned in the last edit ion, nothing is beyond remedy when God is involved. It takes a combinat ion of persistent prayers, faith in God and His word; and pat ience to enjoy your marriage. You may be discouraged Nbecause you haven't seen any change in your spouse since you have been praying. You know what! You haven't prayed through; you haven't prayed enough. When

you pray through you will see a change. How long are you required to pray? There is no t ime fixed. That is why 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says That is to say, pray until you get your righteous heart desire. Elijah the renowned prophet of God demonstrated the act of persistent prayers unt il he got his heart desire. He told King Ahab that there would be abundance of rain at a t ime when there was no sign of rain; thereafter Elijah went to the top of Mount Carmel to pray. He sent his disciple to go and look towards the sea with the hope that he would see the sign that it will rain, the servant went and saw nothing 1 Kings 18:41-43b

That was enough to discourage Elijah, but he was not. He did not give up. Like I mentioned earlier, do not let any persistent negat ive situat ion after you have prayed discourage you. The scripture says we should pray without ceasing. In other words pray unt il something happens. Even after your righteous desires are met you must thank God and continue praying to sustain your miracles. Elijah was willing to tarry in prayer unt il he saw his heart desire. He told his servant to go again seven t imes because he was very confident that God would answer his prayer 1 Kings 18:43c He deployed the combinat ion of persistent prayer, faith in the word of God and pat ience in a bid to get his miracles; and it paid off 1 Kings 18:44-45 “

Don't give up on your spouse; all will be well with your marriage. By God's grace I shall continue in the next edit ion if Jesus tarries. Until then remain blessed.

“17. Pray without ceasing.”

“41. And El ijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 42. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And El ijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, 43. And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing.”

“Go again seven times” 44. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold,

there ariseth a l ittle cloud out of the sea, l ike a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not. 45. And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.”

FOOD FOR THOUGHTBE FRUITFUL --- PART 7

“1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2. But his del ight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3. And he shall be l ike a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

ince the devil cannot change the word of God then he cannot stop you from being fruitful. The word of God is not different from God. That is to say, you cannot separate God from His word this is what John 1:1 tells us S God's word is as

potent as God. God's word is infallible. God says you shall not be barren, that is it. Friend, you shall not be barren; you are made to be fruitful; you are made to be productive. It shall continually be well with you in Jesus name. The only thing that can prevent you from being fruitful is when you choose to live outside the word of God. As long as you abide in God; and His word abides in you, you cannot be unproductive. That is why we should not trivialize the instruct ion of the Psalmist in Psalm 1:1-3 “

Occasionally there may be temporary delays due to circumstances beyond human control, but by and large the word of God will be fulfilled in the lives of His genuine children. That is why I always tell people that no demon can invalidate the word of God. Believers are armed with weapons of warfare to revenge every disobedience when their obedience is fulfilled 2 Corinthians 10:4-6. That is to say, you can pull down every stronghold of the devil preventing your harvest if you are living in complete obedience to the word of God. My counsel has always been this, before you begin to bind and lose, look inwards. Are you responsible for your predicament? If you are responsible, you need to first make amend before you can exercise your right. I pray that the LORD will give you understanding. Before I wrap up this edit ion I want to reaffirm that fruitfulness is your covenant right in Christ. It is part of our redemption package. You don't have to beg for it, it has been fully provided for you by our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. If Jesus tarries I shall continue in the next edit ion as the LORD gives me grace. Until then continue to be fruitful.

1. To God be the glory, great things He hath done, So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, Who yielded His life our redemption to win, And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

Chrous Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice; Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.

Ephesians 2:4 Ephesians 2:4

This is the day that the Lord has made. It is the day of great fruitfulness. He alone will make you fruitful on all sides. Take advantage of the great grace of God to become fruitful so that you will become who God created you to be. God bless you. Shalom.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my l ife: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

Psalm 13:5, 6.

Psalm 23:6.

Psalm 25: 6, 7.

amentat ions 3:22-23 says L In

the last edit ion I said this scripture tells us the principal benefit of mercy, it is the fact that we are not consumed because of the LORD'S mercy. Also, in the last edit ion I shared a number of ways someone can be consumed. In this edit ion I will discuss some other ways someone can be consumed apart from the ones I shared in the last edit ion. The test imony of David recorded in Psalm 27:1-2 gives us another way someone can be consumed

From this scripture we see clearly that an enemy can consume someone. In the case of the Psalmist his enemies were determined to eat up his flesh, but because the LORD showed up they stumbled and fell; and could not fulfill their evil enterprise. Why did the LORD intervene? The LORD intervened out of mercy. Not everyone is fortunate like the Psalmist; some had fallen prey to the enemy and they were consumed; but the Psalmist through the mercy of God escaped the trap of the enemy. Does that mean God is part ial? Not at all; He is not part ial. Why did the Psalmist enjoy such a dimension of mercy? A careful look at the above scripture gives us the reason. There was a special relationship between the Psalmist and the LORD. The Psalmist made the LORD his light and salvat ion. The LORD was the strength of his life. His confidence was in the LORD his God all the t ime. That was why the LORD was also committed to ensure the safety of the Psalmist; He watched over him day and night and did not give him over to the wish of his enemies. Because of this he enjoyed unusual mercy and favor from the LORD. I pray that you too will make the LORD your light and salvat ion so you can enjoy unusual dimension of mercy and protect ion in Jesus name. When the LORD becomes your strength He will cause your enemies to stumble and fall; they will not perform their evil enterprise. In Jesus name you shall not be consumed. One principal enemy that wanted David dead at all cost was King Saul. There were several attempt at David's life by Saul, but God in His infinite mercy did not allow Saul have his way.

“22. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23. They

are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

“1. The LORD is my l ight and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my l ife; of whom shall I be afraid? 2. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.”

In Jesus name your enemies will not have their ways in your life. You will enjoy God's mercy on all sides. One reason why the Psalmist enjoyed God's mercy all the way was because he always and sincerely acknowledged that the LORD

was the One who delivered him from the hands of his enemies. That was why he said

Psalm 107:1-2. On another occasion David acknowledged God's mercy over him in delivering him from the hands of his enemies when he sang this song written in Psalm 124:1-8

Friend, the LORD is good and His mercy endures forever. The LORD delivers the redeemed from the hands of the enemy. If you are redeemed the LORD will also ensure you are delivered from the hands of the enemy and you shall not be consumed. Famine is another thing that can consume. But for God's mercy Egypt and some neighboring nations would have been consumed by famine. While Joseph the son of Jacob was in Egypt as a slave the LORD showed the reigning Pharaoh a dream of what was going to happen in seven years from when he had the dream; but Pharaoh did not know that meant that there was going to be food crises in the land that would claim many lives. Pharaoh was troubled by the dream. He called his magicians and wise men to interpret the dream, but none of them could. Finally Pharaoh's butler remembered Joseph who had earlier interpreted his dream two years ago; and he mentioned him to Pharaoh. Joseph was brought before Pharaoh and God in His infinite mercy gave Joseph the interpretat ion of the dream; and the solut ion to forestall the impending disaster.

“1. O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;”

“1. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; 2. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 3. Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: 4. Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: 5. Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 6. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. 7. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. 8. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

But for God's mercy many would have died in Egypt that period by the famine that lasted seven years. Famine is a consumer. There was a time there was a famine in Samaria so much that people began to eat their children 2 Kings 6:25-29. The then king of Israel was going to hold Prophet Elisha responsible for the famine - 2 Kings 6:30-31. Because the LORD would not allow any one harm His prophet He intervened; and within twenty four hours from when the king would have arrested the prophet the famine came to an end 2 Kings 7:1-18. The LORD shall bring all forms of famine in your life to an end in Jesus name. The LORD shall restore to you the years the caterpillar had eaten in Jesus name. By the mercy of God, you will no longer experience famine. You shall have more than enough. Fear is another terrible thing that can consume someone. There are many things that can cause fear. The negative experience of people around can cause fear. The state of the economy can cause fear. Bad dreams, lack of means of livelihood among others can cause fear. The Bible says fear causes torment - John 4:18

Fear keeps one in bondage and makes the fellow unproductive. Thank God because He has not given you the spirit of fear 2 Timothy 1:7

It is because of His mercy that you are not in bondage of fear. One of the reasons Jesus came in flesh and blood is to deliver us from the bondage of fear Hebrews 2:14-15

It is mercy that prompted God to go this far in order to deliver us from the bondage of fear. By God's grace we have no reason to fear. Jesus through His finished work of redemption has conquered fear for us. We are free from the bondage of fear. We cannot be consumed by the spirit of fear. Mercy and grace has delivered us from fear. Friend, it is because of the LORD'S mercy that we are not consumed. We need to give God thanks for His mercy over us. .I pray that you shall continue to enjoy God's mercy in Jesus name. I shall continue in the next edit ion by God's grace if Jesus tarries. Until then remain blessed.

“…..because fear hath torment.”

“7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

“14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself l ikewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And del iver them who through fear of death were all their l ifetime subject to bondage.”
