OPEN HEAVEN 5 JUNE 2020 FRIDAY: MARRIAGE: CHRIST’S EXAMPLE II

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JUNE 2020 MEMORIZE: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JUNE 2020 BIBLE READING EPHESIANS 5:25-31

25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

29. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

30. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

OPEN HEAVEN 5 JUNE 2020 MESSAGE

Christ has an undying love for the Church. Since His relationship with the Church is our model, let me ask: Brother, do you love your wife enough to die for her?

If a husband loves his wife genuinely, a lot of the usual problems they complain about would be avoided. As a man, you should not buy new shirts for yourself and forget to get for your wife; that may just show how little you love her.

2 Corinthians 8:9 says Jesus became poor so that we can be rich. She should be your priority, looking better and more radiant than you. This is one thing I admire about men from the Igbo ethnic group of Nigeria.

They take very good care of their wives. While the man may don just singlets and shorts, his wife would be arrayed in the latest fashion.

Some men find it difficult to spend time with their wives. If you really love someone, you should spend time with the person. Jesus said if you call Him at anytime, He would answer (Jeremiah 33:3 ). That is how you should be with your wife; anytime she needs you, you should be there.

You are the priest of the home just as Jesus is the Church’s high priest. When you express your love for your wife, she will cook better meals for you, and look more radiant, more beautiful for you.

“…He that loveth his wife loveth himself.” Ephesians 5:28

From the experience of Job, we see that a man’s wife is his life. God told Satan that he could touch all that Job had except his life. Satan killed Jobs children, destroyed all his property, inflicted his flesh with sicknesses and diseases, but did not touch his wife.

She was unscathed because God had said don’t touch Job’s life; and since they were one, his life was hers and hers was his. Whatever you do to your wife, you are actually doing to yourself.

She should be loved, protected, nourished and cherished greatly because your life depends on it. God is taking note! If you don’t believe, read Malachi 2:12-14. Dont cheat yourself.

¹⁸ He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

⁴ Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

⁷ When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

⁸ The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

⁹ An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

¹⁷ The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

¹⁹ As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

²⁰ They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

²² As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

²³ The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

²⁴ There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

⁷ The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

⁸ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

⁹ He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

¹⁰ A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

¹¹ He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

¹² The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

¹³ The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

¹⁴ A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

¹⁵ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

¹⁶ A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

¹⁷ He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

¹⁸ There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

¹⁹ The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

²¹ There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

²² Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.

²⁵ Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

²⁶ The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

²⁷ The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

²⁸ In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
