What do you bring to the table ?

 Man and woman are both made in the image of God.

 Man and woman are both valuable and equal in worth but are not the same.I repeat, man and woman are not the same. There is an attempt in our culture to make man and woman the same, it's nothing but a Satanic assault to destroy the beauty of God's creation . Man and woman are different for a reason. Each reveal different qualities of the Godhead. When a man and woman come together in the way of God, real beauty will be revealed.


Man and woman offer different things in a relationship. What do you bring to the table 🤔?  Is the question many are asking when it comes to choosing a spouse .
According to the Bible the man is to provide for the woman and the woman is to be a help meet to the man. A help meet is a perfect match for someone. The woman is to match her husband,  completing him, making him stronger, being strong where he is weak .

The man is supposed to provide financially, security,  stability. The man is to provide emotional security and stability for the woman. Keep her safe in every way possible. The man is to protect the woman and cherish her .

What does the woman bring to the table 🤔? One thing we notice about women is that they are beautiful. The external beauty of the  woman stand for something deeper. Women are to bring beauty and grace to the man. Tenderness, meekness, sweetness to sweeten the man's life and make his life beautiful. A woman who is tender will make the heart of her man tender. Women bring nurturing qualities to the table, take care of the home. The woman is supposed to uplift her husband, strengthening him with her words, her cooking 😁 etc..


We now have men who don't want to provide financially,  emotionally for their women but just want to provide physically. Such a man bring nothing to the table really. Ladies, stay away from men who don't want to work, men who don't want  to be a provider .And we have women who don't want to provide tenderness, grace and the sweet femine qualities.  Many women want to be like men, they want to dress like men, behave like men and in doing so destroy themselves. For God did not design the women to be like a men or a men to be like a women.  God wants women to be feminine and men to be masculine.

The Lord has revealed clearly the different gender roles and how they complement each other. The man goes out to provide comfort for his wife, financially, emotionally, and physically. The woman support her husband in the way he needs her. In different  family it can  mean different things based on the family's needs.It could be financial, emotional, physical etc.. The man provides the protection needed to allow his wife to live life with less worry and stress by being a shield for her. The woman provide the tenderness and grace that help minimize the stress from her husband's life of being a provider . Together they make each other's life beautiful.


The man and the woman are to work together, complementing one another and make the life of each other a blessing. As each seeks to give to the other, the home will become a  piece of heaven on earth. Man, strive to be like man, strong and caring .Woman, strive to be like women, tender, beautiful and lovely in character.  The man is called to be the head, to be strong, to provide guidance for his wife, to lead his family  to God, stability for her emotions, anxiety and fears. The woman is called to be tender,  nurturing , submissive and provide beauty to the life of her husband. With her tenderness removing the roughness of a man's life . 

The first thing we should try to bring to table is ourselves to Christ. God prepared Adam before he was ready for a wife and the Lord prepared Eve before she was ready for a husband. Before we think of courting anyone, seek the Lord first, let Him heal you of past wounds, traumas, let him make you ready for the spouse He has prepared for you . When we it comes to the table, we have to bring all of our being, for a man ought to love his wife like Christ love the church and the wife ought to submit to her husband like the church should submit to Christ .

 When you are ready for courtship, pray and look for someone you are compatible with, someone who is strong where you are weak, someone who will help you grow stronger in God and in this life. Don't just chose someone out of desperation or good looks, but chose someone who will be a help meet for you and bring what you lack to the table .

Friends, let us seek to abide in  Christ, for only in Christ will a man learn how to be a true masculine man, a woman will learn a true feminine woman and together we will bring the right thing to the table according to will of God. Once the man each abide in Christ, the relationship will blossomed, love will grow and the home will become a piece of heaven on earth .

The idolatry of marriage: a recipe for disaster

 People are suffering, loneliness is rampant in the land. Many people in the world look to marriage as a savior, an institution that will rescue them from their loneliness. They think finally i will have someone I can call mine, someone who will love me with all their hearts until death do us apart 🤗. But the increasing divorce rates tell a different story. A story of marriage being difficult, a story of many married people being miserable , lonely , bitter and see divorce as a viable option to escape the misery they find themselves in. A story of many preferring to live together instead of getting married.  Marriage has become a scary thing in the land. Marriage for many has become synonymous with losing half your wealth and your children. But why has marriage become so destructive to many ? Why has something as beautiful as marriage become such a terror to many 🤔? It is because marriage has become an idol to many. Marriage has become a god to many in the church and in the world. Sa

The difficulties of love

 Love is a beautiful thing. Love makes life worth living. Love is best thing in the universe because God is love 😍. We all want love, we all want to be loved and many of us want someone to love. Love is very precious indeed. We sing about love, we write about it and we make movies about it. And yet love is the most difficult thing to find in this earth. It is easier to find diamonds and gold than to find true love. Easier maybe to find the lost city of Atlantis than to find genuine love. Many people have simply given up on love. They see the idea of loving and having someone to love them as fables for unwise and inexperienced children. Love is rare indeed. Why is it so hard to love or find love 🤔? The easiest answer is because we are imperfect. Being imperfect means we are broken, unable to perform the function we were made to do. Come with me on a journey of the difficulties of love. Imagine you meet someone, a man, a woman, the " love of your life." The woman is beautiful
