Ephesians 5:31-32 reveals such a deep mystery about marriage that it leaves one in awe. It says, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This verse doesn’t just refer to marriage in a physical sense but is also symbolic of…

Proverbs 18:22 tells us, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” This verse reminds us that a wife is a gift from God, and her presence brings favour into a man’s life. But let’s pause and ask: how does one find a wife? Looking back to Genesis,…

Proverbs 24:7 reminds us that “Wisdom is too much for fools! Their advice is no good” (CEV). This verse carries deep meaning, but to truly understand it, we must first reflect on what the Bible calls a “fool.” The fool, according to scripture, is someone who rejects wisdom, refuses correction, and ultimately walks in the…

Eve’s conversation with the serpent serves as a reminder of the dangers of engaging with those who have ill intentions. The serpent in Genesis 3:1-3 is described as the shrewdest of all animals. To be “shrewd” means to be cunning and crafty, and this is exactly how the enemy operates—through deception and subtle manipulation. Eve…

God always protects His faithful ones. As 1 Samuel 2:9 (NLT) says, “He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone.” This verse reminds us that relying solely on our own strength is not only fruitless but also separates us from God’s protection and…

There was a time when I faced relentless taunting, much like Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:6-7. Peninnah, her tormentor, mocked her year after year for not having children, reducing her to tears. I, too, was called barren by people around me, and it broke me. I never called myself barren, but I was manipulated and…

Luke 10:27-28 reminds us of the two greatest commandments: loving God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and loving our neighbour as ourselves. The first part—loving God—is often straightforward for many of us. However, the second part, “Love your neighbour as yourself,” can be more challenging to live out. Loving your neighbour as…

Hebrews 11:11 (NLT) says, “It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep His promise.” This verse shows the power of belief. You don’t need to know how or when God will fulfil His promises. You simply…

Standing back to back with your spouse is a powerful image, and there’s a deep reason for it rooted in both biblical wisdom and the practical strength it offers to a marriage. In Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT), it says, “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three…

I know I promised to talk about “back-to-back” in marriage, and maybe we’ll cover that tomorrow. But today, I want us to explore something different—Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, Abraham’s bosom, and Paradise. I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide me as I explain this as best as I can, drawing from what I’ve learned. Sheol…
