Marriage, friendship, parenting and living at peace with others.
Are your decisions legal? Are your agreements legal? Are your marriages legal? Are you making love within legal provisions? Are you having children within legal marriages? Legal is biblical. Decisions, agreements, and marriage should be legal!
In Christ, there is no male or female. In Christ is the space we get into when we get converted. Those who are converted and are in Christ cannot be biased against men or women. Jesus had female disciples who followed him where He went and provided for Him and His disciples. In the upper room after Jesus ascended to heaven, the team was made of men and women!
God tells Joshua to have memorabilia. National memorabilia. A collection that will trigger the memory of everyone in the nation. When dealing with memorabilia, it is not about what is collected but what memory is triggered. The item may be cheap but it carries the best memories ever that no money can buy. The memorabilia may be extremely expensive but its memory is pain that is so deep that one’s life span is shortened.
A spouse who catches his or her partner violating marital vows may solve to give them a right to escape as opposed to a messy drama and public divorce process. Couples have agreed on arrangements that have maintained their dignity and enabled them to parent the children. It is possible even in moments of anger and hurt, to give your opponents a right to escape the full consequence of their guilt. A right for the guilty to escape!
The unconquerable was conquered. This is God’s signature of approval! When the weakest beats and gains victory against the strongest, this is God’s signature of approval.
Now that this is the situation, what do we do? Over time we lose our zeal and passion, therefore we need a revival. Over time we die and we need a resurrection. Over time we forget our mission and vision and we need to be reminded. Over time we forget we are dispensable and we need to be shaken into the realization that we are not invincible. Those moments of reawakening must come from preaching, teaching, seminars, and seasonal evaluation.
Prayer is for the great only. God is a guaranteed present help in times of trouble. Problems are obstacles on our way to success. God removes all obstacles. He is the sure path to greatness at anything!
Don’t let your boyfriend or girlfriend die. Don’t let your children die. Don’t let the workers under you die. Don’t let the congregation you lead die. Whatever you do, please, don’t let them die! Help us towards this end, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
God may not do it instantly as we wish. We may wait until we forget that someone had hurt us. But God does not forget. Quietly and one by one He will knock them out. We may not notice it, but someday when He is done, He will make the announcement to us. All those who wanted to kill you are dead!
