LOVE IS VERY ESSENTIAL FOR A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE
GOD IS LOVE HIS CHILDREN WALKS IN LOVE PLEASE DON’T GO AHEAD WITH THAT MARRIGE UNLESS YOU ARE VERY SURE THAT THE LOVE IS MUTUAL AND HAS THE APPROVAL OF LOVE!
MEMORY VERSE: “Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law” (Rom 13:10)
BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 19:3-10
3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a]5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
Love is a must in every marriage relationship. No relationship will last if love is absent. Where present, love turns challenges into testimonies, problems into victories. It is common to hear God compare His relationship with Israel to a marriage relationship as done in today’s passage. Love is the oil in the wheel of marital progress, the wine in a toast. Even when Israel was unfaithful to Jehovah, His love for them made Him to overlook their sins and asked their return.
Love is one of the greatest forces of good on earth. It overcomes errors. If you truly love someone, you will not become disenchanted by his or her errors. Anytime you find it difficult to overlook your partner’s error, you can be sure that something had happened to your bottle of love. If you keep a black book mentally, which has a record of wrongs - deliberate or otherwise, it is because you don’t love. Whenever you reel out offences of an individual citing dates, times and location of the offences, you have been overcome with hatred!
True love never wants to end a relationship. It is absence of it that causes people to part from those they would rather have lived with until death. Some people beat their wives with the excuse that they love them. That is not true. Wife-beaters engage in wife-beating out of impatience and deficiency of the presence of the fruit of the Spirit. Wife-beating is done out of a lack of self control. Women sometimes think or act rashly yet, they deserve love, not beating. Any minister of God who engages in wife-beating is not qualified to minister from the altar.
Do you want to preach what you do not possess? God hates every act of wickedness done to your spouse and He will judge between husband and wife one day. Do you love your spouse? Where love is present, it is possible to grow in it. Some people do not feel any iota of love for their spouse even after confirming that such a spouse is God’s choice for them. What should be done therefore is to take time to ask God for love for that spouse because no marriage will work without it. Do you still love your spouse? Or have you become a wife-beater or husband-fighter? Repent and resolve to make your marriage work.
THE FATHER’S BLESSING: “I pray for someone reading this message today who was deceived into an abusive relationship, thought to be genuine love, only to discover that it was nothing but lust and deception from the pit of hell, but you remained in obedience to the word of God, that says ‘God hates divorce and what God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. ’To someone else who is waiting patiently for the prodigal wife or husband to return. The Lord is about to turn your sadness into joy because of your obedience, arresting your arrester and making everything new for this is your season of healing and restoration. You will laugh last, people will join you to laugh with you and your stand gloriously well and strong in the mighty name of Jesus.” (Amen.)
ACTION POINT FOR TODAY
God gave you somebody to empty your love upon. The measure of love you show to your spouse is the real content of love in you.
You are special,
You are loved,
You are appreciated
