Rest out your Ego and Pride



*Ego and Lies of the enemy*
Ever wondered about these verses?

"Never allow the sun to go down on your anger or you will give the enemy a foothold.."

"The devil is the father of lies.."

"The enemy comes to kill, steal and to destroy.."

"Be angry but do not sin."

"Anger lies in the blossom of fools."

"Whatever is good, whatsoever is pure, whatsoever is of Good report, think on these things."

Many times in marriage we have issues with our spouse and we get so angry with them and many times we fail to resolve the issue, to forgive each other before we sleep. This is dangerous, because it can breed bitterness, unforgiveness, disunity and divorce. We don't need that.

Look at this scenario:
A wife has a an issue with her husband and she goes silent and shuts down on him. Then he leaves the house in anger, to "cool off" and came home very late.

During the night, the anger grew.. then she started GETTING all sorts of nasty thoughts against her husband and why he didn't stay to resolve the matter instead of leaving the house, and where did he go after their quarrel, and so on.

It goes further, she starts to assume that what her spouse did to anger her was not only intentional, but was meant to Hurt her really badly... Then she allowed the bad thoughts to go even further, that she began to think up all the nasty things she will say to him to hurt him back like she Concluded that he meant to do to her.
Sure enough, when morning came by, they had an even worse argument because she failed to control her thoughts and eventually her words/actions.

By God's grace she and her spouse eventually worked things out and forgave each other. They talked and found out it was pure misunderstanding of each others motives!

This scenario above plays out over and over many times until we realise what is happening and put a STOP to it!

During the course of the night while being angry with your spouse, the devil begins to accuse your spouse to you.
He lies about your spouse to you, telling you lies that seem to correlate with the current quarrel... but they are lies!
The aim is to set you and your spouse AGAINST EACH OTHER.

Your spouse (wife or husband) is not the devil.

Your marriage will be stronger and not end in divorce.

Your spouse is the opposite of anything bad running through your thoughts, by God's grace.

When in a disagreement with your spouse, shut off all negative thoughts running through your mind concerning your spouse and marriage.
Shut down the negative and turn on the positive thoughts... force your mind to turn to positive thoughts and PRAY about the situation... then go make peace with your spouse.
God help us all.

Don't sleep angry, even if the other person is stand offish ... Go make peace and ask for forgiveness and ask them to let the anger go.

May God help us all to overcome ego and pride and submit to God and to each other in Jesus name amen.

MY SPOUSE, WE NEED TO GROW UP...✍️

1. We need to grow up and stop this game of tit for tat. It is childish to revenge. 2. We need to grow up and stop this silent treatment that lasts for weeks. Grown ups don't behave like this. 3. We need to grow up and stop talking constanly about our problems and start focusing on solutions. Grown ups act. 4. We need to grow up and stop exposing our children to our drama and issues. We shouldn't act childish in their presence with disunity and attitude, they are under our care. 5. We need to grow up and learn that disagreeing doesn't mean we don't love each other. Grown ups learn to work through the differences. 6. We need to grow up and become accountable and responsible so there is no need to suspect each other. You don't need to police me, I don't need to police you. 7. We need to grow up and stop allowing our parents and friends from coming between us. This is our marriage, not theirs. 8. We need to grow up and stop shouting and provoking each o...

HOW A MAN CAN MAKE HIS WOMAN FEEL SEXY...

1. STARE AT HER WITH DESIRE A woman feels wanted most by how her man looks at her. Men are visually stimulated beings so she will look to see if your eyes tell her 'I want you.' 2. LET HER KNOW WHEN SHE TURNS YOU ON She feels good when she knows she arouses you. If you are near her and with a hard on or thinking about her when you two are apart and find life in your boxer too hard for comfort; let her know. She wants to know she has an effect on you; even after years together she wants to know she's still got it. 3. PRAISE HER BODY Speak it, let her hear you talk so good about her sex appeal. 4. NOTICE HER EFFORTS If she gets a new hair do, a new dress, if she works out; let her know you are paying attention. 5. PROTECT HER FROM HERSELF A woman can sleep feeling sexy then wake up doubting her sexiness. One negative comment from someone can easily make her question her appeal. She might look at herself and not like her body weight, size or shape and she lowers ho...

Everything In My Marriage Changed When I Got Pregnant

I turn twenty-seven this September, and I have been married for almost a year now. Before we got married, my husband was quite the doting partner. He was always in my space and just couldn’t get enough of me. That was one thing I loved about him. It made me feel like he needed me to function properly. That’s the pace our relationship grew at, until we got married. A few days after we got married, I found out that he was cheating on me while we were dating. He had even cheated two weeks before our wedding. I confronted him about it and he admitted it. “Yes, I cheated before we got married and I’m sorry for that. But I want you to know that I respect our marriage vows so I will not repeat that mistake. It ended when we got married, trust me on that.” It was difficult but I forgave him and we moved past it. Apart from that cheating thing, the few months of our marriage were good. We were always hot for each other. I felt that was going to continue for a long time. And then I g...
