THE MATTER OF KNOWING
WHO TO MARRY
By DIGC 23 October 2019
Any relationship you manage can damage you;
any relationship you pamper can tamper with your life and destiny
SCRIPTURE: And the
LORD God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an
help meet for him.
Genesis 2:18
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Any relationship you manage can damage you; any relationship you pamper can
tamper with your life and destiny
It is confirmed that
one of the most critical directions to seek in life is the direction as to who
to marry. This is because a larger percentage of a person’s success in life is
connected to whom he/she married. Marriage failure at times equals destiny
failure; a shattered home can equal a shattered life. No matter how anointed a
man is, if his house is not in order, his ministry can never be in order.
Samson’s downfall or tragedy was connected to the wrong women he associated
with. (Judges 14:16-20 and 16:1-21).
Beloved, do not allow
the flesh to choose for you whom to marry. That the man is tall, rich and
handsome does not mean he is your husband. That the lady is beautiful, fair to
look upon and intelligent does not mean that she is the right person for you.
Sister, do not allow desperation or any form of pressure make you to make the
wrong choice in marriage. Do not say, ‘I will manage him,’ or ‘I will manage
her.’
Get this:
*Any relationship you
manage can damage you; any relationship you pamper can tamper with your life
and destiny. There is something worse than being single, and that is marrying
the wrong person. Marriage is a fixed deposit.
*Sister, that man you
are in a relationship with, and he can lift his hand to slap you but drops it
on a second thought, when you eventually marry him, know that that slap must
happen.
*Never marry anybody
who you have lost your peace over. Do not marry anybody out of pity.
*Do not cheapen your
life by engaging in premarital sex. Imagine that, the man has not married you
but he has seen everything about you. Apart from eternal consequences, that
sort of action is a major reason for the abortion or failure of marriage. That
is, the marriage ended before it even started. (Hebrew 13:4).
But you shall make it,
in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Any
relationship you manage can damage you; any relationship you pamper can tamper
with your life and destiny.
ASSIGNMENT(S)
1. Wait on the Lord in
prayer and fasting to know who to marry. Any time spent to know who to marry is
not a waste of time (Genesis 2:18).
2. Ensure you have an
inner witness accompanied with a peace of mind over the person you are thinking
of marrying.
3. Determine to keep
yourself and the relationship pure devoid of premarital sex.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask
for divine intervention in my marital relationship. I ask for your mercy in any
area I have slipped in time past. Deliver me from marital confusion; I settle
for Your Will for my life Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
QUOTE: Your
masculinity is not for the beating of your wife but for protecting your wife;
your femininity is not for talking back at your husband but for talking for
your husband. Marriage is responsibility. Culled from ‘In-laws, In-loves and outlaws’ by Dr Becky Paul-Enenche
AMAZING FACT: The
nearest heavenly body to us is the moon, and the moon is approximately 245,000 miles away.
