12 ways to help your man be God's best

Ephesians chapter 5 addresses the husband and the wife. The husband, his responsibilities, and charge. And the woman and her charge. Verse 33 particularly mentions 12 ways how the wife could cherish her husband. 

"However, let each man of you [without exception] love his wife as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly]". (Eph.5.33 amp) 

Let the wife see that she:
1. Respect her husband: some have said the man's greatest need from his wife is respect, I would only add that the wife was asked to respect her husband. 
2. Reverences him: implies that he is revered, highly and deeply respected. 
3. Notices him: meaning you see him, you notice him for who he is and not who you want him to be.      
4. Regards him: to value him, to regard as in, to consider him, to express friendliness 
5. Honours him: is to treat him with admiration and give special attention to him above all else. 
6. Prefers him: to like him better, to promote him to a prestigious position so that he is your choice over and again
7. Venerates him connote worship, to adore him. Sarah called Abraham Lord (see 1 Pt:3:6) The Yoruba women got this right when they call their husband "olowo ori mi" which connotes the one who owns me. 
8. Esteems him: is to set the high valve on him. In your eyes, no one should be more esteemed than your husband. He is your be-all and do-all. 
9. Defers to him: to allow him to choose, to agree to follow him, to submit to him even if you think your way is better, you defer to him. 
10. Praises him: to express warm approval. Sing his praise. In your eyes, he is the strongest, finest, wisest man ever
11. Love him: an intense feeling of deep affection. Let him feel the warmth when he gets back from work. Let him know he is welcome. 
12. Admires him: to applaud and approve of his ways even if they don't seem to be the best. Admire him and let him know that you do. In fact without telling him let him sense it through your actions. 

If you start today you would set the process in place that will lead to a procedure and then eventually establish a pattern. A Process leads to procedures that establish patterns.  A process is a series of steps taken to establish a particular end.
The procedure is an established or official way of doing something. The pattern is a repeated decorative design, a model used as a guide. Set this pattern in place and see your man become God's best. 

Good day,
And have a great day today,

    This is a raw message that makes you know that marriage is not bread butter party. You have to follow God's own patterns and procedures for you to succeed. God bless Mr Lift.

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
