Weak Love

Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. (1 Peter 3:7 NKJV)

Sometimes, we forget that sin hinders prayers. We simply love to live our lives anyhow we like and presume that it is okay. However, it is not okay to walk outside the laws and precepts of Christ.

There is a new law and a new covenant sealed with the precious blood of Christ. That law is the law of the covenant that we have been commanded to obey.

When husbands refuse to treat their wives with honor and understanding as the weaker vessel, that very act of reduced love and weak understanding will hinder their prayers. So says the word of God.

On a general note, we need to live our lives in love and understanding towards one another so that our prayers will not be hindered.

May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.

Wonder To The World

Do not let your adornment be merely outward – arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel – (1 Peter 3:3 NKJV)

When the craving

And longing

For external beauty

 

Takes

Precedence and priority

Over the craving

And longing for

the true

Inner beauty of the soul

 

We know that

We have fallen deeply

In love with the world

And it’s ways

 

Fall in love

With the word of God

And let Him purify your soul

 

Then you will experience

The true eternal sparkle

Gloss, glimmer and shine

That does not decay

 

You will dazzle

And become a great wonder

To the world

When you become

A vessel of honor

A Beautiful Wife

Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear (1 Peter 3:1 – 3:2 NKJV)

Godly conduct will always attract and win souls to Christ. It is imperative that we understand this. Faith without works is dead.

This Scripture instructs wives to submit to their husbands even if the husbands do not obey the word. Submission is so beautiful and lovely and can sometimes be a key to maintaining a godly home. Where there is disorder and chaos, there will be confusion and no peace. Wives are hereby counseled by the word of God be to submissive and chaste.

May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.

Honorable Conduct

Having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation (1 Peter 2:12 NKJV)

Sometimes, believers relegate good works to the background of their Christian Faith but the Bible clearly tells us that unbelievers can glorify God because of our good works. The fruits of the Holy Spirit manifesting through us can also attract, and draw men towards Christ.

Filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:11

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:13

Unbelievers will take us more seriously if we practice what we preach, after all, the summary of the gospel is to love and forgive others the way Christ loved and forgave us. The gospel is all about believing and obeying. We must believe that the blood of Jesus set us free and we must bear and manifest the fruits of the Holy Spirit which is the good works of Christ through us.

May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.

In Every Circumstance

We were redeemed and chosen to praise God. The praise that God requires is not a conditional fair-weather kind of praise. It is a praise that comes from the place of trust and faith in God who purchased us with His own blood.

Regardless of our trials and circumstances, God wants us to praise Him and He also wants to manifest Himself as the ultimate warrior and savior.

May great grace be upon us to offer the sacrifice of praise to God in every circumstance.
