Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 32, Day 5: Thursday, 10th August 2023. TOPIC : TEACHINGS ON GIVING: Giving To Spouse (5)

“9. Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, …”

“11. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.”

Today, we are studying “Giving To Spouse” which is also an accepted giving to God. In marriage, giving is a two way things and is one of the best way to have a lasting marriage. Many feels it’s the responsibility of the man to give to his wife and children and for the woman to only receive and be engaged in the house chores alone, this is a wrong assertion for believers. Men are to give and take care of their wives likewise, women are to give and take care of their husbands too. Marriage is all about give and take. I’ve heard of marriages where women can’t call her husband, only to Flash then He calls back. I’ve seen men being a philanthropist outside and their wives suffering at home.

You both need to make yourself happy by giving surprises, presenting gifts, lunch, wears, taking one another out and giving your body willingly not optionally, because you are meant to spark the love in your home. King Solomon said enjoy life with the wife of your youth. He also said a woman should take care of her husband. Lack of giving has broken many homes just because someone else’s is willing to give them outside their marriages. Giving to God while denying your spouse can make your gift unacceptable. God gave you that partner to care for and not to despitefully use. Learn to give to your spouse even when they don’t ask, it’s ordained of God.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
