Bible Texts: Pro.10:12, 1Pet.4:8, 1Cor.2:16, Rom.5:5, 1Jn.4:16, 1Pet.3:7-9, 1Cor.13:4-8
Hatred stirreth up strifes, but love covereth all sins (Pro.10:12)
Today’s message is for any husband who is keeping malice with his wife because of the offence she has committed. And it is the Person of the Holy Spirit speaking to you right now, saying “the love of Christ in you conquers the offence of your wife”.
As the husband who wants to be good and godly, the love of God conquers the force of offence, whether it is coming from your wife, your children, or even any other person. It may be true that your wife may have offended you and hurt your feelings, and you are struggling to forgive her. It is only natural, but because you have the mind of Christ in you by reason of your new birth in Jesus, you can walk above offences and live in love (1Cor.2:16).
The love of God is a powerful weapon capable of conquering offences because God is love personified (1Jn.4:16). The expression of God’s love defeats offences because all of God’s love is God at work (1Cor.13:4-8). The love of God conquering offences gives you speedy answers to your prayers (1Pet.3:7-9).
Therefore, take this bold step of faith, walk to your wife and tell her you have given her and now embrace her with the love of Christ. That is what makes you the good and godly husbandman.
Hallelujah!
