How To Have A Great Marriage

 How To Have A Great Marriage

MESSAGE FROM PRINCE EUDES 


It's simple -- but you will need God's help to do it.

JOHN 15:12 NIV 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

Love as Jesus loved! Be willing to lay down your life to bless your spouse. Few would ever want to get rid of a spouse who truly practices this principle.

The ingredients for having a great marriage are the same as having any great relationship: communication, honesty, commitment, kindness, and attention.

If your aim is to bless your spouse and make them happy, it is very likely they will eventually respond by loving you.

If you are the only one in your marriage practicing this, it can be difficult. But your only other choice is to treat them badly in return. How can that produce anything good?

You are God's representative. He put you where you are so He could express His love through you. God loves your spouse -- whether you think they deserve it or not.

The Bible teaches us to put the interests of others first.

ROMANS 12:10 NIV 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Which is a higher priority for you: your happiness or your spouse's happiness?

"But," you say, "I've done all that and they are not reciprocating. They just take advantage of me."

First, without your efforts your marriage could already be dead and gone. Second, you will be judged only for what you did in life -- not what your spouse did. Third, God's law of giving will eventually work: As you continue to give love -- love will be returned to you.

Commit yourself to the happiness and well-being of your spouse. Keep acting on God's Word and showing love to them. Put them before yourself. God will work on your behalf.

SAY THIS: With God's help, I will have a great marriage.

How to Discern "Monitoring" Spirits and Overcome Them as Believers

BY PRINCE EUDES What exactly are Monitoring Spirits? Well, they are spiritual beings that operate in the supernatural realm, with the not-so-friendly task of observing and monitoring the lives of individuals. Their main goal is to gather information, take notes, and report back to the forces of darkness, seeking any vulnerability they can exploit in our lives. It's like they're running some kind of spiritual surveillance mission! Now, you might be wondering if this idea of monitoring spirits is biblical. You bet it is! The Bible sheds light on these malevolent beings in various passages, and it's essential to understand what it says about them to be equipped to deal with their influence. In the book of Job [ Job 1:7 ], we find an intriguing scene where the sons of God come to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also comes among them. The Lord Himself asks Satan if he has considered His faithful servant Job. This implies that there are spiritual beings constantly o...

Do All Things Work Together For Good?

Do All Things Work Together For Good? By Prince Eudes Do All Things Work Together For Good? Many Christians would instantly say "Yes!" And a quick look at Romans 8:28 in many Bible translations seems to confirm their answer. But is that what Romans 8:28 really means? ROMANS 8:28 NASB 28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. ROMANS 8:28 NIV 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love⁶  him, who have been called according to his purpose. While several translations can give us a different view on this (like both of those above), it is not necessary for us to judge translations or learn the meaning of Greek words to realize some basic facts. First, if everything that happened was good for us, then God would never tell us to resist or refrain from anything. (And He does!) Therefore, everything is not God's will for us. Neither can we consider every...

God Rules in Your Circumstances

God Rules in Your Circumstances God's light often shines brightest through us in our darkest moments. November 12, 2023 Philippians 1:12-20 If you could change your present circumstances, would you? Most of us would say yes. Even if we’re experiencing relatively peaceful and comfortable conditions, we can always imagine a better life. And those of us enduring difficult, painful, or trying situations long to see the burden lifted. But as everyone knows, there are some circumstances over which we have no control. We can’t maneuver our way out, so our only option is to go through them. As redeemed children of God, however, it’s important to remember this: We are exactly where God wants us, because His sovereignty rules over all our situations at all times. Let’s look at Paul. He was sitting in a Roman prison, chained to a guard after a fruitful ministry of sharing the gospel. But even though the Lord brought him into difficult circumstances, His work in and through Paul didn’t stop. A...
