Why Are Women So Significant? – T. D. Jakes at WTAL 2011

December 21, 2011 in Encouragement, Marriage, God's Way with 7 Comments

This is Part 2 of the series titled: “God has a strategy for your life” by Bishop T. D. Jakes at the Woman Thou Art Loosed Conference 2011 on the Philippi Incident. See Part 1 here.

Paul is hanging out with the women. Jesus sat down by the well too. Jesus and Paul knew something.

What is so significant about them coming to women? Jesus waited all day for a woman like you. She was neither holy nor righteous. She had five husbands and a friend. But Jesus waited for her.

You’re worth waiting for. You’re worth crying for. You’re worth it! You’re significant! Continue Reading

Will You Pass This Love Test?

August 6, 2011 in Marriage, God's Way with 10 Comments

“Every high has a low and every low has a high.” That is a fact of life.

Life can be compared to a school master, who from time to time puts us through tests, and when we pass those tests, we achieve new levels of understanding. It’s the same with your marriage.

You must have heard the saying that once the honeymoon period is over, your love will be tested. There will be moments when you will see the ‘wrong’ side of your partner. Will that cause you to behave the same ‘wrong’ way that your spouse behaves or will you prove successful in your Love Test?

Here is a true love test that you should not miss!

How to be a Great Woman

July 6, 2011 in Encouragement, Marriage, God's Way with 55 Comments

In 2 Kings 4:8, the King James and a few other versions refer to the woman of Shunem as a “great woman”. I’ve always wondered what made her so deserving of the title: great woman. It could not have been her wealth alone that made her to be known this way.

The question here is how can you – as a daughter of the Most High – be known as a great woman as well?

Five Love Languages That Can Help Your Marriage

April 23, 2011 in Marriage, God's Way with 1 Comment

Humans have many ways in which they express their love and out of which there are five key categories called the love language. Soon after our marriage we did the Love Language test by Dr. Gary Chapman and found some interesting variance in the way we expressed our love.

Many marriages struggle and partners feel unappreciated and unloved because the love languages go undiscovered. You think they do not love you but the truth is that the way they love may be different from the way you express or expect love. You can also buy the book here

Go through these five Love Languages. Check out which one you or your partner belongs to.

The Solution to Conflicts in Life

February 26, 2011 in Church, Marriage, God's Way with 28 Comments

It’s 5 am. The Lord woke me up with a dream of a relentless runner.

When Elijah, the man of God who had chopped off the heads of hundreds of prophets of Baal had to face Jezebel who threatened to kill his life, he fell for this silly woman’s threat.

Jezebel symbolizes the fake and deceptive spirit which is contrary to the move of God that tries to attack the body of Christ.

Mouths To Talk – Marriage, God’s Way!

This one is for those looking forward to getting married soon or for those who are already married. From a young age, I was counselled by many leading men of God to get married as early as possible. One of the reasons, I was told, was that it would help me in the ministry. Best thing told by a man of God was, “Shyju, after you are married, you’ll learn aspects about the bride of God and God himself that you cannot learn otherwise”. Another said, “Marriage is God’s way of teaching a man to die to self”. My wife adds, “Same for a woman as well”.

Divorce in the Church

[French Translation] [Spanish Translation] One of the foundation principles of marriage that was instilled in me by many of my mentors was that, ‘marriage is for life’. Sometimes, I was afraid to think about marriage, for I would find myself wondering where would I find a girl that I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. Thankfully God is a prayer-answering God!

What shocks me the most in our generation is that the levels of forgiveness and tolerance have dropped by a great measure. Broken marriages lead to disintegration of the family and our children grow up lacking emotional security, a feeling of safety and/ or confused sexual identities. This also leads to an ‘even more confused’ generation as they lack role models in the family. Continue Reading
