Any man who is given
to beating his wife is not man enough. He is not qualified to be married in the
first place!
SCRIPTURE: Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.
Ephesians 5:25
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Any man who is given to beating his wife is not man enough. He is not qualified
to be married in the first place!
Marriage is a
relationship that places so much demand on patience and tolerance. That is why
there is a popular saying that marriage is not for boys or for the immature.
Indeed marriage is for the matured. And maturity comes with a lot of
responsibilities.
Below are some
responsibilities of the man to his wife in the school of marriage:-
1. Unconditional love
(Ephesians 2:25): – This is an unrestricted affection that emanates from a
man’s heart towards his wife.
2. Sacrifice (Hebrews
13:16):-This is the extent the man is willing to go for his wife in giving and
forbearance.
3. Forgiveness
(Ephesians 4:32): – This is realizing that your wife is not perfect the same
way you are not perfect. Therefore, be quick to forgive her whenever she
offends you.
The tragedy today is,
some men act so heartless towards their wives because of their inability to
forgive them. Some even beat their wives. The truth is, any man that is given
to beating his wife is not man enough. He is not qualified to be married in the
first place. If you must fight, why don’t you go out there and engage a street
gang who are always waiting for an opportunity to fight?
Beloved, you must
realize that you didn’t marry someone’s daughter to turn her into a punching
bag. You married her to be responsible for her. You married her to love her as
yourself. You married her to care for her and to reduce the burdens of her
life.
Today, I prophesy
fresh grace in your marriage, home and relationship. The last time you failed
in your marital responsibility is the last forever, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Any man
who is given to beating his wife is not man enough. He is not qualified to be
married in the first place!
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Determine to
discharge forgiveness in the direction of your spouse effortlessly
2. Make up your mind
NEVER to raise your hand against your wife.
3. Ask God for the
grace daily to forgive your spouse and to be responsible to your spouse.
PRAYER: Lord, I
receive the grace to release forgiveness rapidly towards my spouse. I refuse to
be an agent of offence. Help me to love my spouse unconditionally, Lord, in
Jesus’ Name.
QUOTE: When your wife
sees that you love her people, you are concerned about their welfare and you
are interested in what they are doing, it gives room for more dedication on the
part of your wife towards you and it makes for a better marital relationship.
