“Discipline” here represents maintaining an orderly life. It is operating as demanded not as convenient. Also, it is maximising and investing our time, instead of squandering it. George Washington once said, “Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable, procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.” No matter where […]
Let me start by drawing a line between learning and schooling; between training and education. Schooling is not equal to learning; otherwise, every first class graduate should excel in life. But I have noticed a paradox. In many professions today, third class graduates employ first class graduates! When you are given a certificate after school, […]
“And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And […]
“And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor he barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.” Exodus 23:25-26 I have been bouncing about […]
Now you are one with the Father (as we have seen), and one of the proofs of that identification is mental distinction. That is the pattern that Jesus set for us, so take advantage of it. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all […]

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” Ephesians 5:22 In God’s divine order, submission from a wife to her husband is a necessary requirement for making marriage work. It is also a command from God (Genesis 3:16). From Scripture, we understand that His commandments are not grievous. Sometimes, submission may appear […]
As male and female partners in marriage, we must understand and appreciate the peculiarities which make up our personalities. Men are men and women are women. Understanding the uniqueness of the male gender will help the woman appreciate why her man acts the way he does, thus eliminating problems from the family. “Through wisdom is […]
Hospitality is the friendly, generous reception and entertainment of guests or strangers, especially, in one’s home. Being hospitable is very important in marriage. Let’s examine a few of the benefits of hospitality: Angelic Presence “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2 It is a known fact that […]
It is important to understand the place of money in marriage to avoid tension. “For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence…” Ecclesiastes 7:12 Money is simply a medium of exchange. It is required to live comfortably on the earth. It is a defence because with it, you will not be embarrassed. However, […]
