1. Roughly two millennia ago, Paul warned the early Christians of dark and evil times ahead. Given all the that the world has been through, especially in recent times, it is safe to say that such troubling times could apply to many points in human history.
2. But more important than knowing
that tough times are bound to happen, is the fact that God would not allow you face situations beyond your faith-threshold (1 Cor. 10:13).
Paul gives you a template what to do
and how. What do you do? Be filled with the Holy Spirit & constantly
3. ... and guided by Him. Speaking to one another in psalms & hymns & spiritual songs, offering praise by singing & making melody with your
heart to the Lord; always giving thanks to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph
5:19-20).
4. The life of a Christian is one of
praise and submission. Today, let the Holy Spirit fill you as you turn on your praise to the Lord.
5. "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him." - Ephesians 5:18 (AMP)
6. Confession:
I am filled with the Holy Spirit as l surround myself with praise.

2. On today's episode, we are discussing "Is there really no romance without finance?" #MrMrsBetterHalf
3. Every so often, you and your spouse will have to sit down and resolve certain issues so you can be on the same page. #MrMrsBetterHalf
1. How worship charges the atmosphere? God wants His people to take charge in all situations. People who take charge must know how to master the atmosphere and bring it under submission to God.
2. If you want to go the distance with God, you must learn to master how to charge the atmosphere around your life with His presence. What does this mean?
3. Not every situation or circumstance will have a positive atmosphere; but you can take charge of that atmosphere and create a space where you hear God speak. Joseph (Genesis 40) and Paul (Philippians 1) allowed God tO use them to master very difficult atmospheres in prison.
1. How do you live intentionally?
"Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you
lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing." Ps.100: 1-2 It's a simple & direct command, but this it reminds God's people to praise Him with a joyful shout, not a whisper
2. It's a simple and direct command, but this psalm reminds God's people to praise Him with a joyful shout, not a whisper. Psalms 92 encourages raising a joyful and harmonious sound to the Lord.
3. According to Charles Spurgeon, this "word signifies a glad shout, such as loyal subjects give when their king appears among them..." Worship is an outpouring of reverence to your king and an unmissable part of being
His subject.
1. Hello and welcome! It’s episode 340 of #MrMrsBetterHalf. Mr & Mrs Better Half is designed to strengthen marriages & relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's Word.
2. This week’s situation is “I can't seem to stop arguing with my partner. What can we do?" It’s normal for people to disagree whether gently or heatedly. After all, we're not the same. But when heated disagreements become the order of the day, there’s a problem. #MrMrsBetterHalf
3. People essentially argue when there’s a difference in opinion and neither party wants to back down. Sometimes the issues at stake are not critical. For instance, arguing about your favourite movie, or team or actor. #MrMrsBetterHalf
1. Hello and Welcome! It’s episode 334 of #MrMrsBetterHalf. Mr & Mrs Better Half is designed to strengthen marriages & relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's Word.
2. This week, a single man has this situation to contend with- “My girlfriend just told me she wants to be a housewife. Should I break up with her?” #MrMrsBetterHalf
3. First of all, there’s a preconceived notion that housewives or house-husbands as the case may be are underutilized, unintelligent and unambitious. This is not necessarily so. #MrMrsBetterHalf
1. The Ways of God- Moses knew the ways of God while the Israelites knew His acts. What's the difference? Understanding the ways of God means knowing who He is - how He works, thinks and what He wants to do.
2. Knowing God's acts is limited to just seeing what He does without necessarily
understanding how or why.
"He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel." - Psalm 103:7 (NKJV)
3. One of the implications of focusing on God's acts instead of His ways is that your faith in God is likely to be transactional (the small picture) & not relational (the big picture). It might have been okay for an Israelite in the time of Moses to be content with just knowing
