Marriage - The First Ministry

Marriage – The First MinistryStatistics reveal that about 45 – 50 percent of all marriages will eventually end in divorce. These numbers are staggering to say the least. These numbers include Christian marriages as well.Why are these numbers so high? The answer: marriages have stopped being a priority in the lives of many busy couples.Work, children, and social activities have been substituted for the number one ministry between a man and a woman - that is the ministry of marriage.What is ministry? Ministry is from the Greek word "diakoneo", meaning "to serve" or "douleuo", meaning "to serve as a slave". In the New Testament, ministry is seen as a service to God and to other people in His name. Jesus provided the blueprint for the pattern of Christian ministry – He came, not to receive service, but to give service (Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 13:1-17)In marriage, couples are to minister by meeting the other's needs with love and humility on Christ's behalf (Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43; John 2:5,9; Acts 6:3; Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Colossians 4:12).When we think of ministry, we think of the minister or the pastor of a church or the different functioning organizations within the church. As married couples, it is our obligation to be the minister in our spouse's life.Counseling and Life Coaching are wonderful tools to assist couples and individuals who are in desperate need of these services and are very much necessary for the help they provide. If couples would not only think of themselves as just husbands and wives but think of themselves as ministers to their spouses, the counseling load would not be as great. Ministering to your spouse can and should include ministering to the physical, emotional, mental, vocational, and financial needs of the other.Marriages today have become self-centered when the marriage is no longer two people being one, but two people remaining as two. My money, your money, my car, your car – couples are living more separate and divided lives within the same home. Today solid and happy homes are becoming a thing of the past. There are no more Ozzie and Harriet's, Leave It to Beaver's or Father Knows Best households. In these homes husbands and wives were both in the home, fathers took the roles of headship, provider, mentor and the disciplinarian in the home, and fathers were looked up to as the children's hero, not an action figure on television. Wives could be at home to raise the children and not rely on daycare to nurture and care for the family. In these homes, husbands and wives were the staple of the family and took active roles in the lives of their children and their communities. Times have changed so drastically. Today there are one parent households, children being raised by television, the drop out rate for high school students is at an all time high, and a major part of the criminal activities in our society are committed by our youth.The Cosby Show tried to depict a solid family image to American families and some did not buy this as reality, especially for the African American community.I can think of couples who were happily married five years ago, who today are no longer married or are now living emotionally divorced and living separated lives within the home. Marriage is the foundation to a great family life and God's greatest tool for ministry.Great marriages with their priorities in order depend on these elements to remain fortified: honesty, communication, commitment, and sacrifice. Placing our spouse as our first priority will produce true prosperity in our homes. There will be nothing missing, nothing lacking and nothing broken.The Bible speaks of several action verbs in Genesis 2:24 which models some priorities in marriage. The first verb is to "leave". Man is to leave his mother and father and to establish a new beginning with his wife. The second verb is to "cleave". Man is to leave his mother and father and to cleave to his wife. Cleave means to weld together or stick to like glue.Marriage is not only a priority- it is preeminent. It is superior to, and surpassing above all other human relationships. Husband and wife are to be bound together and should not be cut apart. The third verb in this passage of scripture is the verb "be". First, man is to leave then to cleave and to be one flesh. Becoming one is more than being physically one, but also psychologically one which is communication.Most marriages break down for a lack of communication with their spouse. The lack of attention and communication will eventually result in both parties involved to struggle, which will finally cause a break down in the home. Couples must stay committed to the vows they took on their wedding day before the Lord, to be committed "for better or for worse". There will be difficult times in the marriage and that is not the opportunity for the husband or the wife to bail out of the marriage. We are to stick it out and give that situation over to God. Be committed in "for richer or poorer". In these tough economic times that we are facing, when some are just getting by, when the prices are high and the paychecks are low, commitment is essential. Lastly, be committed in "sickness and in health". We do not know what challenges or sickness either spouse may face in the life of the marriage. We are to continue to love and to cherish our mate til death does part us.Ministry can and should be carried out daily in our lives with our spouses. God set the example of how much He loved us that He gave His only begotten Son to come to earth and die on a cross for us. It was God's priority to send us a Savior. We in turn, are to love and meet the needs of our spouse as a priority, setting the example in our marriages and sharing our love just as God has done for us.by Glyniel GarnerGlyniel Garner is a Professional Certified Life Coach, Board Certified Biblical Counselor and Certified Marriage Mentor.

There is no such thing as coincidence when you are a Christian and you are seeking to follow God's will in your life. He puts people in Your life for a reason...He makes divine appointments with those you come into contact with to set His plan in motion. That extra money you received, people in your life, etc....all are from your Father...enjoy!Scripture for the Day:"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28Point to Ponder:Coincidences' are really God working in my life.Prayer for the day:"Father, thank You for all those people and things that You place in my life."

Wearing the Whole Armor of God in Marriage(Being Fully Dressed and Armed for War)Marriages are under attack inundated by a spiritual battle perpetrated by the evil one himself, Satan, the father of lies and deception. In His Infinite Wisdom, God instructed us through the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Ephesians where he said, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Folks, there is a war going on- not the war in Afghanistan, not the war in Iraq, but the war against marriages. Since the garden, war has been declared against the institution and ministry of marriage. The enemy works hard daily in an effort to bring marriages to turmoil and strife, in hopes that we will be able to cause these sacred unions to an end. Many of the scriptures were provided to give us spiritual direction and insight from our Creator who foreknew the obstacles we would face with an enemy at large. Sure, we know who wins in the end, but while Satan is on the loose, he is wreaking havoc when ever and where ever He can find an open door, thus the warning: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, I Peter 5:8. Yes, there is a war going on, however, this war does not involve traditional weapons and tactics such as guided missiles, tanks, fighter jets, and the like. This is a spiritual warfare that is fought by unconventional means, more of a means to defend ourselves because the actual battle is the Lord's. We are further instructed: "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." When we put on the whole armor of God, we become clothed in two types of armor, one type that is defensive armor for our protection, the other type is to conquer or gain victory over. The whole armor makes us invulnerable and Victorians. When we are fully clothed in the armor of God, we are ready for battle. We are told "Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth." So what is the truth? God was the Truth from the beginning because the Truth is the Word of God. We come under the Word of God when we have our loins girded about with truth. Under the obedience of the truth of God's Word, we will walk in light and not in darkness and it is a know fact that where light is present darkness has to flees. In addition we are told, "and hovering on the breastplate of righteousness," this armor protects the heart which represents the spirit of man, and also protects other vital organs, As a believer faithfully lives in obedience to and in and in communion with Jesus Christ, His righteousness produces in us the practical daily righteousness that becomes our spiritual breastplate, "And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; "Our feet should be shod, or bound up, with the prepared foundation, which is Jesus Christ, who keeps the believer standing firm in the midst of spiritual warfare. The gospel of peace pertains to the Good News that through Christ, believers are at peace with God and we know that He is on our side. "Above all, taking the shield of faith, were with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." The shield of faith is a shield and a weapon. If and when you are at war, something is coming at you. We are not trying to take the enemy down; he's already down, he's already been defeated . In this war, all we have to do is endure to the end. We are to have faith in what we've heard (the Word of God). Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, faith will protect us on this walk with God. "And take the helmet of salvation." The helmet of salvation shields our head from the fiery darts that come against us by way of the enemy. We will not be able to have good thoughts without the helmet of salvation in place. Taking on the helmet of salvation is taking on Christ Himself, "and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God." As the sword was the soldiers only weapon, so is God's Word the only weapon needed which is more powerful then any of Satan's weapons. This is the only weapon used both defensively and offensively- Defensively to fend off the attacks of the enemy's strategies. The Sword of the Spirit is quick, living, and powerful. "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints." Praying always is the frequency or how often to pray; all prayer and supplication focuses on the variety or pattern of prayer; in the Spirit focuses on the submission as we line up with the will of God; watching thereunto is the manner in which we pray; with all perseverance is the persistence of our prayer; for all saints is who we are to pray for. Prayer is the key part to this Divine armor. Prayer is the primary means by which we engage in the battle, the purpose for which we are armed. This armor of God is for battle. During the battle itself, praying God's Word becomes our chief offensive weapon deployed against Satan during our struggles. If there is one thing you should always remember when the devil plots ways to interject his devious ways into your marriage is the enormous differences in the attributes of God versus those of Satan. God said, "Behold I will do a new thing," but Satan is limited to his same old tricks through lies and deceptions and a purpose to steal, kill, and to destroy. God through Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10Keep your marriage secure and strong-Put on the whole armor of God and be fully dressed and armed for war. As the slogan for the American Express goes…Don't leave home without it!by Erroll & Glyniel GarnerAll scriptures referenced are from the KJV

Gods Love

God loves His children and desires to bless us. He is our greatest cheerleader andchampion. I love Jesus’ prayer, On earth as it is in heaven. Jesus had such a heartfor His Heavenly Father that He only wanted to serve Him and do His will. He was wiseenough to choose the highest path that would result in the highest reward for Himself andothers. There is no greater strategy than the one God reveals. His ways are always purposed,positioning us higher than we can take ourselves alone. And sometimes they may seem unusual.Are you ready to go higher than you’ve ever gone? God is searching for a people who love Himenough to do extraordinary exploits. The rewards are so worth the journey. And our God isfaithful to deliver.Verses to Remember:"Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassion's never fail. They arenew every morning; great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:23Point to Ponder:God is faithful...even when I am not.Prayer for the Day:"Father, thank You for Your faithfulness to me...please forgive me for my unfaithfulness to You."

The Words of Our Mouth

2 Timothy 2:23-3:5Gossip is often regarded as a relatively harmless pastime, particularly whencompared to wrongs like murder or adultery. Satan has painted talebearing asinnocuous, but if we peel away that deception, we see the ugly truth. In theBible, God lists gossip among the most depraved sins (Rom. 1:28-31).Nothing about gossip is harmless. Whether the talk is intentionally hurtfulor simply some idle musing, the subject can be hurt or embarrassed. A friendof mine decided to trace a damaging story about himself back to its source.He asked one man after another, "Where did you hear this?" Seventeen pastorslater, he finally found the person who had originated the tale. This fellowadmitted he had speculated aloud regarding a situation about which he knewlittle. A destructive chain reaction began with just one man jumping to afalse conclusion while chatting with a friend.Even if the victim never learns of the chitchat going on behind his or herback, gossip still has consequences. The people who spread a tale revealtheir inner thinking: "For the mouth speaks out that which fills the heart,"(Matt. 12:34). A poisonous tongue flows with the jealousy, resentment, orpride residing inside.Gossip has the power to hurt feelings, destroy reputations, and dividechurches. We do not have the right to bring such damage into anyone's life.In fact, God is the only One we should turn to when we hear a story. Thosefacing trials need prayer rather than tongues wagging over their misfortunes(Gal. 6:2).

Joneswww.stephanieljones.comAn entrepreneurial spirit and passion to serve others has guided Stephanie L. Jones through an extensive background in sales, public relations, and community service.In 2005, Jones opted out of the corporate business world in favor of an opportunity to pursue her entrepreneurial goals as a freelance publicist. She successfully designed and coordinated marketing campaigns for organizations, several best selling book authors, and for a nationally distributed women's magazine.Although highly successful in her endeavors, Jones soon took another bold step, this time to fulfill her destiny. She became an advocate for individuals suffering from the effects of child sexual abuse. Jones, author of The Enemy Between My Legs, unashamedly shares her story with audiences around the world on how she was able to overcome the effects of over seven years of child sexual abuse, which began at age five. She is known for her honest approach in dealing with sexual abuse, a subject that few people will openly discuss. She has the ability to understand and connect with abuse victims, especially teenagers and young adults. This has made her a highly sought after speaker for schools, churches, and major organizations.Natasha Munsonhttp://www.sisterlessons.com/http://natashamunson.blogspot.com/http://www.bemagic.org/Originally from New Jersey, Natasha Munson never intended to write a series of books. Instead, her primary goal was to save her teenage cousin from making some of the same choices that had led Natasha to living a life she hated. She wanted to find a way to reach her heart without preaching or yelling at her. So, Natasha began writing down all the lessons she had learned in life. She wrote about everything she had endured, including every piece of wisdom she wished someone had shared with her about life, love, money and relationships.Then she realized that these lessons could help other women as well. “My goal is to empower women by helping them live lives in which they smile in their sleep, love as though they have never been hurt and create lives they love!” says Natasha.

Build it and they will come

NOT!I’ve learned when it comes to events, people will attend if they want to.Let’s talk about the hot topic of the last week the Christian Book Expo. They set up this wonderful expo and the readers didn’t come.WHY?This is the question every event planner wants to know. We can debate about it for months, but the real deal is, they didn’t want to come. If they knew about it and it sounded interesting enough, they came. If they knew and didn’t want to pay the fee or if didn’t offer what they wanted, they didn’t come. If they didn’t know about it, they couldn’t come.Most people talked about what went wrong with the event.What advice would you give them to improve the event for the next time?I’m currently working on my bi-annual online conference, here are a few tips I do.1. Ask the attendees what they want.2. Schedule the event at a place they will come to3. Keep the price reasonable4. Have presenters the attendees want to see5. Offer workshops the attendees want to attend.Your event can only be successful if you have people to attend.What do you do to plan your events?

Do You Have A Servants Heart?

Do You Have A Servants Heart?Monday, March 30th, 2009 at 9:10 amMy daughter and I were out shopping for my husbands birthday last week - three hours before his surprise birthday party. However, with a crying one year old, I found myself in a frantic panic trying to shift her around in her stroller while holding a hand full of clothes and looking for her bottle, pacifier or anything to calm her down. In an effort to pick her up, I went to place the clothes on a little rack at the edge of the aisle to free up my hands. Next thing you know, the whole counter came crashing down. I felt my blood pressure rising, seeing all the neighboring shoppers give me the eye with the “get that whining baby outta here” look.Feeling completely overwhelmed, a young lady was coming my way as I attempted to clean up the mess, calm Chloe down and pick the clothes back up. I felt a little relieved when I saw her coming, excited about the fact that someone was willing to help me in the midst of this chaotic moment. The closer she got, the happier I became….until she stepped right over the pile of mess and worked her way around the stroller to go on her merry way…….!!!!!!!!!!!Immediately I was so disgusted, thinking about how selfish of a society we have become. To think that I’m in a busy store, in the middle of it’s busy hour on a busy shopping day and NOT ONE PERSON would come over to help me. I was steaming mad and embarrassed at the thought of our culture. An innocuous acceptance of an egotistical, pompous, me-first, power hungry population is vastly on the rise, and this girl was living proof!As pissed as I was……. a very valuable lesson was brought to my attention as it relates to our industry, challenging me and my personal integrity. I was personally questioned with the following: “do you have a servants heart, or are you just like that young lady, passing people by in an effort to pursue your selfish endeavors?”.…………..OUCH!!! I really had to think about that for a minute. It’s not to say that we should’nt have personal goals or ambitions. That would be totally unreasonable. But do you have a heart to serve others in their efforts to succeed? Are you willing to put your goals in proper perspective, and know that if you help others, you will then help your own business to grow?What do I mean you ask? Well, in life, we are taught to go for what you want and be aggressive about your success. Although I agree with that statement, there are certain aspects that can be unruly, often leading to a very pushy, selfish kind of character that makes one feel that they “deserve” to be successful and will do what ever they have to do to make it to the top…even if that means stepping on other peoples toes to get there.When I first stepped into the world of internet marketing, I initially wanted to just focus on “building my business” and “making myself money”. But I quickly discovered that these two goals would become the last on my list of priorities. If you haven’t discovered it yet, Internet Marketing is not for the “selfish”. This industry is based purely on helping and serving others with the goal of making money on the back end. I’m not saying that it’s impossible to make money without building relationships. But if you truly want to be a long term winner in this industry, you must be willing to serve and help others!Why?? Do you ask. Think about it….how many times do you give up your money to someone that “isn’t adding value to your life”? Can a person just walk up to you on the street and say…”hey, I’ll make you rich if you give me $500 dollars” and you willingly give him that money? OF COURSE NOT!….so why should people spend money with you BEFORE you show them how you can add value to their lives?You see my point? …….Good!Once you realize the need to add value to others, then you will be able to properly determine your place in this industry. If you are someone that is willing to learn so that you can help others advance in their journey, then you will be on the winning edge.In the world of Internet Marketing, a servants heart is required!

HOW YOU CAN SUCCEED AS A CONSCIOUS ENTREPRENEUR

- HOW YOU CAN SUCCEED AS A CONSCIOUS ENTREPRENEUR -By: Christine M. KloserBranding, marketing and sales... oh, my! Many entrepreneurs (including myself when I was learning about business) overlook the importance of these aspects of entrepreneurship. Often, conscious entrepreneurs start a business to help others, make a difference and transform the world; with most of the energy going into creating a website, getting a business card designed and putting together product/service offerings.These are essential steps. But, there are two additional important aspects of your business you've got to consider from the beginning (or beginning TODAY if you've been in business for a while). These are two more nuggets I've learned from my mentors that have made a big difference in my business success.Insight #1: "Branding occurs in the minds of your prospects and clients."
