Trust

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths             (Proverbs 3:5-6). We all have a difficulty at times believing people and especially those who supposed to have been our providers such as parents, care-givers or spiritual leaders and spouses that disappointed us, but we have a God we can always place our trust in Him and His Word. God never changes, He is the same yesterday, today and forever.God is someone we can go to anytime and anywhere in prayer and He will hear our prayers and will answer them according to His will. How do, we know the will of God, it’s through His Word? This why we should always take the time and read the Bible, seeking to find out what is God saying to us.When you don’t know what to do, you can find it through prayer and the Word of God. We should acknowledge God when we’re making decisions that will have an impact in our lives in our presence and future. God knows what is best for us and it may not be what we desire, but it’s His desire for us. A lot of mistake we have made could have been avoided, if we would have taken the time to pray and allowed God to speak to our hearts or directed us through His Word.

The Mind

And be not conformed to this world : but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,that ye may prove what is that good , and acceptable, and perfect will of God -Romans 12:2 – The mind is amazing, it’s like a computer; it sends signals to other parts of the body and download instructions for each body part to function. The mind is also like a sponge, it soaks in what it sees and hears and sends it to the heart; and what is filtrated into the heart begin to manifest itself in our character and behavior. You can continue to say “I have a headache or I’m sick” as you continue to say it, the body will begin to feel what you’re speaking to it.  It all starts with the mind, this why God has instructed the Christian through the Apostle Paul, not to be conformed to this world, indicating we should resist being poured into the mold of secular thinking, value system and this world’s conduct. The only way our minds can be transformed is by the Word of God. As we read the Word of God, hear the Word of God and submit to the Word of God only then will our minds and hearts be transformed to understand what;s good and acceptable and the will of God.

Covenant

Yet ye say, wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant Malachi 2:14  – Divorce in these times was practiced exclusively by men. They broke faith with their wives and ignored the bonding between a husband and a wife that God had declared(the two become one person); God’s purpose for this was for them to raise children who would love God. God ordained marriage between a woman and a man to be together with one spouse until one of them die. God’s purpose for marriage wasn’t for us to change spouses as though we were changing clothing. Marriage is a contract between two people and God.  Divorce shouldn’t be the issue unless one of the spouses has committed adultery or is abusive. God will never tell a spouse to divorce their spouse   because He has someone else for them, this lie came from Satan and the spouses’s selfish desire. Christians should know the voice of God and the voice of Satan; God holds us responsible for the way we treat our spouse (And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you -Ephesian 4:32)
