Show your wife you love her (1) Sunday 8th March 2020 'Husbands, love your wives.' Ephesians 5:25 NKJV Why does the Bible say, 'Husbands, love your wives...as Christ...loved the church and gave himself for her' (Ephesians 5:25 NKJV)? Because your wife needs to know you love her, think about her and include her in your plans, and that you consider her opinions, needs and desires. And if you don't tell her, she won't know it! So let's look at how Jesus loved the church, which began with twelve disciples who were flawed human beings, and learn how you should love your wife. He loved them unconditionally. Was it always easy? No. But instead of nagging his disciples about what they were or were not, he rejoiced, thinking about what they would become when his grace had worked in their lives. Stop and remember the qualities you saw in your wife that initially attracted you to her. Over the years she may have gained a few pounds, added a few wrinkles, and sometimes ...

*IT WAS A RAINING DAY* It was raining heavily on a Monday morning when I heard a knock at my door, I opened. standing before me was  a young man with a bushy hair,  dirty shoe, well soaked by the rain, looking too unkept for my liking. Good morning, he greeted with humility , how may I help you? I replied in a displeasing manner.  Please sir  kindly help me with your umbrella if you have any, my journey is still very far from here, I promise to return it tomorrow morning. I looked at him for a while, suddenly some thoughts came into my mind. why would someone who's already soak be asking for an umbrella, what if he doesn't return it? I don't trust you, but I will give you, I said. But make sure you return it tomorrow as you have promised. I went in and got an old umbrella that  i stopped using for months and gave to him. Thank you very much, he happily expressed and left. next morning, a knock at my door, I came out and saw two handsome men dressed in a royal ap...

*THE DEAD EVANGELIST IN CHOIR ROBE!* Brother Clifford made it a duty upon himself that come sunshine and rain, he will be at the Train Station distributing Gospel Tracts to passengers as they board or leave the train! This he did faithfully for several years! One day at the church service after a rendition by the choir members in church, the choir was appreciated, praised and given a standing ovation! Brother Clifford, instead of being happy for them was very sad! He thought his soul winning efforts was not being acknowledged, rewarded or recognised by the church members and ministers! He also noticed that nobody from the station has met him to say thank you for what he has been faithfully doing over the years! Brother Clifford decided to abandon the trips to the Train Station! Instead he joined the choir and started singing with them! To his surprise he was warmly welcomed! He discovered also that very soon he was singing and receiving standing ovations. He concluded in his mind h...

A SHORT STORY ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Copied! There was an aged artist who lived in a small village. The man used to design beautiful artistic works to be sold at an attractive price. One day, a poor man among the villagers challenged the old man saying: "You earn a lot of money from your handiwork but why don't you assist poor people in the village? Can’t you see that the butcher is not as rich as you are, but he still shares free meat to the poor people in the village? Also, look at the village baker. He is a poor man with a large family. Yet he gives the poor people free loaves of bread". The artist did not respond angrily to the accusations. He only smiled. The poor man was confused about the reaction of the artist so he left him and went out spreading rumors that the artist was so rich, but he was a selfish person who only accumulated wealth and refused to help the poor. The villagers hated the old artist and they all forsook him. Th...
