SATURDAY'S SPECIAL: THIS THING CALLED LOVE : ARE YOU SURE? (1)

We are happy to welcome you, our esteemed readers, on board as we ride-on on this week's Saturday special, after missing out on last week edition. For the next few weeks, we shall be dealing with a crucial question in courtship, and we shall give you reasons why you are not expected to act as a wife when you are just a fiancee and why you must not stop praying even after you have been connected to the man of your choice... Happy reading...  John and Jane have broken up! After 2yrs, Peter and Phebe just broke up last week! He came back from service last year and that was it: 3yrs courtship, turn to shreds! Solomon finally wrote from Canada, only for him to declare that he was no long interested.  Am sure you are familiar with these stories.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY 13 FEBRUARY 2016

THEME : FULFILLING GODS PURPOSE? 4 Memorise: And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 Read : Genesis 18:17-19 17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORDmay bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. Message: The Bible declared the father as the head of home- head of the mother and the children. As such, fathers have complete authority within the household to direct the affairs of the family, and to administer discipline when necessary.
