ATTITUDE SERIES 4

Good morning  beloved, hope your yesterday was superb!  So today is relationship day and every time I talk about relationships I am so super excited cos I see God fashioning you, preparing you or restoring you in a whole new light in your relationships.
Still on attitudes, I am going to be talking about the attitude of Honor.

ATTITUDE OF HONOR

When you go to the word, you have to let the word give you your belief system and not looking for proofs in the word to back up your belief system. Submit totally to the word.

People hear what they want to hear irrespective what you say.  So you have to take heed how you hear. This is what brings about issues between married couples. 2Peter 3:16(Amplified). You have to yield yourself and humble yourself to change according to the word. Ephesians 5:29(Amplified) says a man nourishes and cherishes even as the Lord to the church....  You do this only when something is valuable. The devil's important lie is to say you don't matter or  you are not important... You have to come to a place where you know you are valuable. The devil is the devaluer of what you have and who you are and he always covers the fact of who you are through the redemption.

Look at God and the value he placed on our lives. You have been bought and been paid for. You are not cheap. No money in the world can buy you. One of the biggest mistakes in life one can make in life is not valuing what God values. If God says this is important then make it more important.

To cherish means to highly price, to treasure and that's what the husbands should do to their wives. You and people are the most important thing on the planet earth to God. You are not angels.Set your mind so you don't value things or stuff above what God says.

The answer to every marriage question is by looking at the relationship between Christ and the church. How does Christ(husband) relate to the church(wife) and vice versa?
Husband:cherishes and loves wife
Wife: reverences husband

So you see that scripture talks about value for one another. Everything you do or say, keep your hand on agape. You see the need to keep our love walk in check. Hope you have been doing the 1Corinthians 13 daily task? If you haven't go to my blog posts on Attitude series 2 and find out.

If you honor(greek:heavy) means you greatly treasure or value. Jesus paid that great price equally for your spouse. So there's no difference how much God values us. Do you value him/her like God does?

 You shouldn't see your spouse less important as Jesus does. The only way to wipe out people is to diminish them and make them of no value... That's the devil... Devaluing!! through thoughts.. Making you to look down on them, despising. Failing to show gratitude is one level of despising. Wow... You see another reason you should be grateful. Pls check my blog series on Attitude series:Gratitude and re-read and do what it says there.

Your prayer should be thus: Help me Lord to see and value my spouse as you see him. As you value them,your honor shows in how important you treat something.  Not valuing each other hinders our prayers cos we are not in agreement with Him cos our spouse is God's son or daughter and you should be concerned about your father in law(God).

Choose to see value in them!! Before the devil can make you treat him or her bad, he has to has to first devalue them in their eyes..through your thoughts which you shouldn't allow.. If you allow it then you are being deceived. To know if it is the devil once he puts your spouse down and you will know.

Think about: when one is gone, the spouse won't say I wish I was harder on him or her... So live everyday so you don't regret tomorrow. Live a life of value everyday to him or her. Treat him or her good cos our time is short. In
Mattew 13,people saw Jesus as just the capenter's son and didn't value him cos he walked as man on earth not as God but How did the Father value him.. As his beloved and yet people said they didn't need Jesus.  You must value what God values.

Proverbs 18:22 says your wife is a good thing and you obtain favor from the Lord cos he is giving her to you.
Proverbs 31:10 says she/he is more precious than money... So you shouldn't part ways with him/her over money. It is not your place to get him or her to appreciate you.. You shouldn't judge him or her for not appreciating or honoring you...You have to focus on appreciating them cos when you are judging it means you are actually not doing so.

Precious means valuable, not to be lost, wasted or treated poorly,costly... Your spouse is precious. Don't use the word precious mockingly.. That's  devilish. When you say precious mean it. The way you refer to people tells much about your honor.

Your mother is not an old lady. Whatever you don't value will slip out of your hands. You will see the most devaluing in your own house. For example,Jesus. His own didn't receive him cos they saw him carnally not spiritually.

 There's more to your spouse than what meets the eye. Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean God's gifts  and calling in you have been taken away from you.
Rejoice!!!! As you step into this phase of your life.
