Read: Ephesians 5:21-25 Open Heaven 15 May 2020

21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Message: – Open Heaven 15 May 2020 Friday Daily Devotional

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” 1st Peter 3:7

It is not God’s will for His children to do so well across many areas of life and then fall in their marriage. He wants us all to have successful Christian homes. Today, we shall look at the secrets of making your marriage heaven on earth.

Firstly, the couple must respect each other’s opinion even in controversial matters. Nobody has a monopoly on wisdom; hence they must be able to counsel each other. A man should never feel that his wife cannot give godly counsel. What is deficient in the husband may abound in the wife and vice versa.

Secondly, the wife must submit to the lordship of her husband. Some women have been misled by modern concepts to think submission is stupidity or slavery; this is not true. Obedience to God’s word – no matter how illogical, brings success in life, including marriage. Years ago, one of my daughter-in-Christs came in for counselling because of cracks in her marriage. I realised she was arrogant, and the Lord asked me to tell her to be submissive to her husband. She disagreed, saying she was just as educated as he. When the crisis in her home persisted and I would offer no alternative, she complied and peace returned.

Thirdly, the husband must love his wife unconditionally. Don’t love her because of what you can gain from her; rather, love her selflessly as Jesus loves the Church. This is the only way to guarantee success in marriage (Ephesians 5:25). Jesus loves us with all our imperfections and is still working to perfect the saints for the last day.

With the foundational truths and other lessons the Holy Spirit will teach as we study the word of God on marriage, every believing couple can rest assured of a home that is heaven on earth.

  • Good morning Daddy, I thank God for His infinite mercy. I learnt from today’s open heaven that being arrogant in marriage leads to crises but hunility conquers the devil ‘s assignment in marriage. So love and submissive must come to play if I really want my marriage to be blissful here on Earth then I must submit totally to my husband . Then if I truly love God as a wife I play my role in the fear and obedience to God’s word . Finally this can be achieved through prayers and yes to the God at all times.Thanks.

  • Thank God for this wonderfull topic on how christian home should be.May God let every christian marriage home be like heaven on health in Jesus name.Amen

  • To enjoy heavens on earth in our home, daddy pointed out 3 things. 1. Respect (both ways) 2. Submission (wives) 3. Unconstitutional Love (husbands). The one that instituted marriage has the guides for how our homes should be ordered. It is just like when you buy a new device or say a car, you will notice an instructional manual contained in it. That is what the Bible is to our marriage. When you don’t understand a feature of a new device, you consult the manual for guide so also is our marriage. The instruction God gave is not conditional, wife is to submit irrespective of husband’s love and likewise husband is to love irrespective of wife’s submission. God didn’t say wives submit to your loving husbands and also not husbands love your submissive wives. He gave each person is duty and we must obey to the letter. May God give us grace to be obedient in Jesus Name. Amen
