Text: Hebrews 13:4
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Today makes it exactly 14 years of God’s marital faithfulness in the lives of my wife and I. Jesus the Prince of Peace and Stiller of storms reside in our ship, our relationship, so we fear no storm.
God’s primary purpose for marriage is for companionship. The Word of God says, “Now the Lord God said, “It is not good (beneficial) for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper (one who balances him—a counterpart who is) suitable and complementary for him.” Genesis 2:18 AMP.
Many marriages are not experiencing marital fulfillment because the companionship element is lacking. You need to spend time together with your spouse. Talk to each other regularly, even if you are not physically in contact. Let there be no communication gap. Try as much as possible to always be together physically, it helps to oil the engine of your marriage.
Focus your love and attention on your spouse and don’t share your love with any strange man or woman. Extramarital affair is strongly condemned in the Word of God. The Bible says, “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers (the sexually immoral) and adulterers God will judge”- Hebrews 13:4.
Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Saviour of the body. Ephesians 5:22-23.
Is your marriage threatened by the storms of life? Invite Jesus, the Prince of Peace into your home and he will still all your storms.
Marriage is meant to be enjoyed and not endured. Do everything godly to make your marriage Heaven on Earth. God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Your marriage will succeed greatly in Jesus name.
Prophetic Nugget: Let the oil of marital bliss continually flow unending in your marriage in Jesus name.
