True faith will inevitably manifest itself in the performance of works of obedience… The performance of works are the result of faith and the fruit of justification.
- R.C. Sproul
We love a man as long as he is worthy of our love, and when he is not we cast him off; but we don't find in the Word of God that God casts off those who are not worthy of His love. If He did, there would be no one in the kingdom of God except Jesus Himself.
The end of holiness is, that we may 'live;' and the principal work of holiness is to 'love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul;' and this is the effect of God's 'circumcising our hearts,' without which it will not be.
Jesus was a true leader on the earth, so much so that people marvelled at His wisdom. He dominated wherever He went. So also, you must not remain ordinary but manifest your leadership status by knowing the works Jesus did and doing more of it.

I limit You so many times, Lord. Forgive my finite mind and fill me with Your wisdom, power, and mercy, so that I can touch those You love this day.

The world we live in is encompassed by the disease called fear. I believe Satan uses fear to either neutralize us or get us off on a tangent—and the purpose is to disarm us of the power we need to live out God’s best plan for our life & the lives of people all around the world.
If we really saw ourselves as God sees us—loved, accepted, overcoming, victorious, righteous, forgiven, blessed—we would live our lives with a newfound sense of confidence and purpose. #JoyceQuote
A wife is scripturally expected to be under the control of her husband. Woman, are you the type that your husband cannot control? Then, you are not submissive. Submission to your husband should reflect in your speech and your behaviour. Your words reveal you.
Having the greatest natural knowledge of divine things or having the spirit of prophecy, or being enabled to word miracles won't make a man happy without grace.
The moral obligation of the law still lieth on God’s servants, that are taken into the covenant of grace.
We are not redeemed from the service of the law by Christ, but the curse of the law.
—Thomas Manton, Works 8:284
People whom God place in positions of authority are usually those who have previously served faithfully in one capacity or another under someone else. Faithfulness is not optional; it is mandatory, a must for you as a minister’s wife.
What then does it mean to abide in Christ? It is reliance on Him for His life and His power. By faith we renounce any confidence in our own wisdom, willpower, and moral strength and rely completely on Him to supply the spiritual wisdom and power we need.
It is critically important that we have a knowledge of the Holy One, that we know what God is like. ... It is very important that we know that God is good. We read that God is good & doeth good & that His lovingkindness is over all His works
