As we continue this morning again to take the tips for opera, we ask again that you will give us burden to pray. Thank you, Father Lord, for hearing and for answering us. In Jesus' name we have prayed.

Amen. This morning for our prayer tips, we'll be looking at, we're reading two short scriptures. One from Proverbs chapter 3. We'll read verse 1 to verse 6. Proverbs 3 verse 1 to 6. My son, forget not my law, but let thy heart keep my commandments.

For length of days and long life and peace shall death add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee. Bind them about thy neck.

Write them upon the table of thy heart. So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all thy heart.

And lean not unto thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path. We'll also read Hosea chapter 4. I will only be reading verse 6. Hosea 4 verse 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee. That thou shalt be no priest to me. Since thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

In this retreat, we can see that God has put so much down for us. There are a lot of laws and instructions that God has put down for us in this meeting. We can see that God has taken time to go into the manual that he has given us for marriage.

To give us vivid instructions concerning our marriages. And if we reflect back, each and every one of us. If we reflect our minds back and check from the very beginning.

When we started this retreat from the opening charge. We see the serious instructions that God brought. And tomorrow will be the last day of this meeting.

And in the heart of God, he is wondering and he is asking. Will you remember these instructions and abide by them? And I see that that is the reason why God is coming to us this morning. To bring these instructions to us.

So that we can cry unto him and receive help for our lives. We will receive help for our marriages. Now the first thing he said is that my son, forget not my law.

And of course we were told yesterday. If God is saying my son, he is not just referring to the man. He is referring to the man and the woman.

You are inside your husband as a woman, so you are one. So God is addressing us as one person, as a couple. And he is saying forget not my law.

All of these laws that God has put together here for us. Are we ready to go back and do according to them? Because when we forget, that is when we begin to misbehave in our marriage. That is when the wine will begin to finish our marriage.

Unless we keep remembering the things that God has put down for us. If God was not serious with us, he wouldn't have brought us together. Gathered us all over the parts of the world.

To be laying down these instructions for us. He is not wasting his time. He means business with us.

And he is warning us. He is saying forget not my law. These laws I have given you for your home.

As a husband, as a wife. Don't forget it. It is as you keep remembering it.

And as you keep referring to it. That your marriage will work out. It is as you keep referring to it.

And you keep remembering that you will have a fulfilled matrimony. So God is asking us today. You as a couple, forget not my law.

Say but let thy heart keep my commandments. We are going to be crying to God. Number one.

We are going to be crying to God. That God will help us not to forget these laws. He has put down for us in this retreat.

Now secondly, we are going to be crying to the Lord to help us. Lord, help me to keep this thing in my heart. These commandments, these laws, these instructions.

That you have brought for me as a couple. Help me to keep it in my heart. And you know whenever you treasure anything.

And you put value to anything. You keep that thing in your heart. And you keep remembering it.

You don't forget. Because there is a value that you have placed on that thing. And with these instructions that God has brought to us.

Your money cannot buy it. God has taken time to bring vivid instructions. And to direct us.

We kept hearing that from the beginning it was not so. We have been taught as women how to submit to our husbands. And for the men you have been taught on how to love your wives.

And to be the correct head that God has asked you to be. Now, you are going to be praying that all of these instructions. Lord, help me to keep it in my heart.

So that you will know that God is not just wasting his time. And he said by the time you keep it in your heart. And you cherish it.

There's two things. For length of days. And long life.

And peace. Peace. You are going to receive peace in your home.

God will be adding more years to your marriage. Because if your marriage is correct. God will be pleased to keep you long.

Because he knows that these things that he has packaged in you. That you are going to teach others. Because our father in the Lord was telling us during the opening church.

That as he's seen every one of you seated all over the world. That he's not just seen you alone. There is a queue that is behind you.

There are many that will come to collect instructions. To take correction. To see correct marriage from your own marriage life.

So it is something that you don't need to take it for granted. Because if you keep this command. God is going to add length of days.

And long life. And peace. He will give to your home.

And then we are going to be crying to God also. We are going down to verse 5. Trust in the Lord with all thy heart. And lean not unto thy own understanding.

We kept hearing God saying to Rosa. We shouldn't rely on human understanding. Human philosophy.

Human ideas. Are you going to still rely on your own understanding in your marriage? Decisions you are taking. How to train your children.

How to relate with your husband. Are you still going to be relying on your own understanding? God is saying trust me. And when you trust somebody.

You know that that person is capable of handling whatever you are asking him or her to handle. So we trust God. That God is able to keep our homes in order.

God is able to give us a good and a fulfilling matrimony. So this morning I want you to open your heart. We are going to be crying unto God.

What is it? Are you still sitting down here? From the opening church to today. And your heart is still saying. Toh, my husband is a very difficult person.

We are here you know. Toh, when we go back. He will start his own again.

My wife even though she is hearing. When she goes back. She will still continue the way she was.

God is saying trust me. With all thy heart. Trust me that you are going to receive the beginning of miracle.

In your matrimony. From this meeting. Before you go home.

It doesn't matter how big that problem is. It doesn't matter how difficult your husband is. It doesn't matter how hard your wife may be.

She may be. She may not be submissive. It doesn't matter.

All that God is saying to you. Trust me this morning. As you trust me.

And as you cry. And you beg of me. I am going to come down.

To give you. Then this miracle. In your matrimony.

And I want each and every one of you. To believe God this morning. That you are not going back the same.

As you came. You are going to collect your miracle. There is faith.

And there is faith. You may. You know when the Bible says.

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart. You can trust God. I say okay.

I believe. Let God do it. Let me see now.

But when God is speaking. And you trust him. That he is capable.

He is bigger than your problem. And he will be able to handle it. You will just.

You know you will believe him. And carry him. With all that he is saying.

And it will work for you. So please. Don't delay your miracle this morning.

By disbelieving God. When we are going through the Bible study. We are still seeing some issues coming up.

And we knew that there are still issues. That some people are thinking. This thing has been there.

It has been long. Can it be wiped out? God is saying yes. If you trust me.

I am going to solve it for you. I am going to give you. A fulfilling marital relationship.

This morning. I will change your home. I will give you the new one.

That will make your home new. So we are going to be trusting the Lord. And don't let.

Your heart deceive you. By relying. On your own understanding.

Sometimes we say. My husband is too difficult. So what I will do is.

I will just be keeping quiet on him. Whatever he says. I will just give a deaf ear.

Some women. Have gone to open secret accounts. Because.

The husband will collect their money. And will not give them anything. So even though God is saying.

From the beginning. It was not so. But you.

You go back inside and say. If I do like this. I will die in this man's hands.

So let me quickly think of what to do. And sometimes we go to discuss with our friends. Our colleagues.

And they give us. Instructions. They give us advices.

That are not good. And when we come to apply it in our marriages. We are still not seeing fruits.

Coming out of it. We are still struggling. Why can't you trust God this morning.

For a miracle. And we see that. When he said in that verse one.

That we should not forget. We should not forget. When we read in that Isaiah.

Particularly I am concerned with. Verse six B. That God says. Seeing thou hast forgotten.

The law of thy God. And we also forget. Thy children.

It is terrible. It is terrible to disbelieve God. When he has put down his words for us.

His law for us. And we feel we do what we want to do. We rely on our own understanding.

And verse four says. In all thy ways. Acknowledge him.

And he shall direct thy paths. Acknowledge Jesus. In your marriage.

Acknowledge him. In training your children. Acknowledge him.

In taking decisions together. Acknowledge him. In praying together.

Acknowledge him. In even doing the work of God together. The work that God has put in your hands.

As couple to do for him. Acknowledge God. All the time.

In each step you are taking. Make sure you acknowledge him. He is the only one.

That can give you. New wine in your marriage. He is the only one.

That will lead you. To do the correct thing. In your marriage.

So we are going to be crying to God this morning. And we will be begging him. That tip number one.

Lord help me not to forget this loss. This instructions you have given me. In this meeting.

Don't let me forget it. Lord. Help me to keep it.

This loss in my heart. Help me to cherish it. Help me to put a value.

On these things that you are telling me. So that they will work for me. It is only when you put value to it.

And you keep it in your heart. And you keep referring to it. That you will be able to.

Experience peace. In your marriage. It is only then.

That you will be able to have long life. And long length of days. The Lord will add to you.

So we are going to be crying. To God this morning. Let the Lord help your heart.

To beg him. To help you. Lord help me to acknowledge you.

And I beg you verse five. Is very very strong on my heart. Let us trust the Lord.

Wherever you are. What is it? You are sitting with your husband. In this meeting.

But you are still quarreling. There are still misunderstandings. That are going on.

Maybe when you went for couples. Chats yesterday to pray. Discuss together and pray.

Maybe there. Arguments still arose. Can you trust the Lord this morning.

That you are going to collect. Your miracle. God is here ready for us.

And all that we need. He is putting them down. We just finished the devotional challenge.

And God is instructing us again. That we need to do what. We need to have.

Personal authors. As couples. And that verse that.

Larry read in. That Matthew and he said. Whatever you ask.

You say believe. You say and I will do it for you. So this morning.

Can you beg God. And say Lord. Increase my faith.

Help me to trust you. Help me to trust you. That you will be able to help my wife.

Help me to trust you. That you will be able to help my husband. Help me to trust you.

That you will be able to make my marriage correct. And of course. We are not just going to pray.

For our own marriages here. You know what is going on all over the world. We have been represented.

All over. You are representing your country. Your state.

Your local government. Your community. In this meeting.

And God is serious with you. Because he knows. That you are going back.

To stand for him. To represent him. To make other marriages.

Correct. So don't joke with this time. That God has given you.

So you are going to trust God. And say Lord. With all these instructions.

That you are giving me. I believe that you are going to. Help my marriage.

I believe you are going to help me as a wife. As a husband. And if we will see.

Just to refer to. Matthew and John 15. Where the bible says.

Jesus said I am divine. You are the branches. And he went ahead.

To say. He said. If you abide in me.

And I abide in you. He said. You will bear much fruit.

He said for without me. You can do nothing. That is more reason.

Why you should hold God. Very well this morning. And say Lord.

I am trusting you. Because I know you are capable. To help my marriage.

You are capable. To work for me. Therefore help my life.

So we are going to be praying this morning. In all our centers. Wherever we are.

We are going to be crying to God. I don't want you to take this moment. For granted.

This is the time you will cry to God. And say Father. I trust you.

Please rise up. Help my marriage. Rise up.

This beginning of miracle. I want to have it. Shall we begin to pray.

In our different centers where we are. Let's begin to cry unto the Lord. And beg him to help us.
