  As we have dealt with the character traits that help a marriage to work and flourish, I believe this has been a blessing and an eye-opener to you. Have you been working on yourself and manifesting these character traits? If you have, I am sure you have been seeing the benefits. And if you have not seen the benefits yet, keep at it; it is not too late.  So far, we have looked at a few character traits - Love, Joy and Peace, Longsuffering and today, we will look at Kindness !!! Our theme scripture has been Galatians 5:21-22. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness , goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law -  Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV Kindness is a character trait that is non-existent in many marriages. In fact, it is a character trait that is non-existent in many people. People seem to have forgotten what it means to be kind but it is a character trait that will take you really far. So, what is...

I am very excited about our topic today!!! We have been learning about character and in particular the character traits that help a marriage to work and flourish. So far, we have looked at a few character traits - Love, Joy and Peace and today  🥁 🥁 🥁…. we are looking at Longsuffering !!! Our theme scripture has been Galatians 5:21-22 [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering , kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law - Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV Someone defined longsuffering as the ability to suffer long 😁, and I am sure many of us feel like we have been there. In situations where we had to suffer long because of somebody else. It was so hard to keep quiet and bear the situation and you were so relieved when it was over right 😫? Well, to start, let's look at the meaning of longsuffering.  In the dictionary, longsuffering is defined as having or showing patience in spite of troubles, especially tro...

We just finished 40 powerful Days of Morning Praise and on the very last day, my husband made this statement: " If you are ready to wait forever, you will not have to wait for long"  and that statement really hit me. The premise of that statement is that, if you believe that God has heard and answered you, you will be at peace and be ready to wait for what you are convinced has already happened no matter how long it might take. If you believe you have the thing you have believed God for, you will not be running helter skelter because nothing appears to be happening. For most Christians though, our toughest time is while we are waiting for the answer, the miracle, the manifestation or breakthrough. It can be a tough time because nothing appears to be happening; so how do you wait at such times?That is my question:  Are you ready to wait forever or can you keep waiting without seeing anything? For most of us, we can wait as long as it is not for long. We trust God and believe h...

Farmers always want to plant good seed on their farms. They know that good seed will in turn produce a good harvest and farmers love harvest time! They look forward to harvest time with anticipation because they have worked hard to sow their seed. They have worked hard to nourish their seedlings with water, sunlight, fertilizers and any other thing that the crops may need. They are diligent in doing this because they know it will affect the harvest they get.  If the crops are denied any of the above for instance, they know it will affect their harvest. So, let's say the rains come in late or not at all, there will be little or no harvest. If there is a drought and the farmer has no access to any other source of water besides the rain, he knows he is in trouble. If there is an infestation of locusts in the area for instance, he knows his crops will be destroyed and that there will be no harvest.  And if he is unable to buy fertilizers to enhance his soil, he knows there will be...

We have been looking at character traits that strengthen the home and our theme scripture is Galatians 5:22-23.  A marriage doesn't just work because you are a good person who loves your spouse. A marriage works because you develop character traits that better help you to handle situations in your marriage and subsequently you are then able to grow into a better version of yourself. If more couples worked to fix defective character traits, more homes would be saved. Instead, couples often fight symptoms instead of going to the root. So, let’s go to our theme scripture which is found in Galatians 5:22-23. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace , longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law -  Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV The next fruit of the Spirit or character traits is PEACE.  Peace is defined as a state of tranquility or quiet. Often, people will go on a vacation or a holiday to enjoy some peace bu...

  So, we have been looking at character traits needed for a fulfilling relationship and marriage. We have said that anytime we use the word Character here, we are referring to Christian Character. This means we are talking about who we are now because of our relationship with Christ. It means that now that we are in Christ, everything we do as christians mirrors or should mirror our relationship with Him .  Our theme scripture is Galatians 5:22-23 and last week we started with love. Today, we are going to look at JOY.  [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, JOY , peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law  What is JOY? I used to think joy came because I was happy. I thought I felt joyful when things were working my way but I was wrong. Happiness is triggered by positive life experiences which is another way of saying something has to happen on the outside first before I feel happy.  Happ...
