God's Intention For Marriage

-


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

Before God created man, He had a lot of things on His mind and in His plan for him. The bible makes us to understand that God is Love; He doesn’t just love, He is Love personified. It is worthy of note that whatever a being does flows fundamentally from its nature. The love that God demonstrates is from and of His love nature; He’s a love being. In His love, He intended that man should rule and dominate like Him.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:  and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth Genesis 1:26

 After God made man, He commanded him to take charge of every other thing that He had made. God later said that the man He had made needed a help meet, meaning, a help that is fit. God gave the man that help in form of another man- a female man whom the man called woman and named Eve.

The Lord Himself was the One who started marriage. He gave man a wife to help him, to join hands with him in carrying out God’s assignment for them. This tells us that marriage is essentially a platform where a couple should fulfil their God-given purpose in life. If a marriage is not providing this platform for both partners in it, then it is not actually doing what God intended it to do. Yes, a couple may be okay financially, they have good children, everything is fine but the main thing their marriage should help them do is fulfil purpose. 

Marriage is not an end in itself; it is a means to an end which is purpose fulfilment. I believe this blessed you. Have a great time

Hi friend, Thank you for stopping by to read. If you are new here, you are welcome to rounded beauty (you may want to read the previous posts to catch up......and that will help, really). If you have been here before, thank you too. We’re double sure you were blessed by our posts. Now let’s get into today’s business. The last time here, we spoke about God’s intention for marriage. If God has a really great purpose He intended marriage to fulfil, then we’d better learn how to partner with Him to fulfil it. Did you know that every instruction of God to man doesn’t improve Him? The obedience of man doesn’t make God better neither does man’s disobedience make Him worse. He is God. Nothing or no one changes Him. Isn’t it amazing to know that our response to God actually affects us? This knowledge is very important as it helps us align ourselves with God’s will for us. A marriage that will work well and produce the fruit of destiny fulfilment MUST have both partners practise...

*Illumination Devotional* *Pastor Jide Ojo* *26th October, 2017* *Mind Your Imagination* For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2nd cor 10:3-5, Our above text says to cast down imaginations and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. This means there are thoughts and imaginations that are against the knowledge of God. They are anti-new life images and thoughts. Here Paul shows the primary tool that the devil uses against believers-thoughts and imaginations and this is because the state of our minds determines the expression of our spirit. Believers are to mind their minds so as to express the realities of the divine life. Ephesians 6:16 says the way to...

And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.  Colossians 4 vs 17 Ministry is God working through man; it’s not man working apart from God neither is it God working apart from man. It is very important therefore to know that the strength and character of God seen in a man is not solely the responsibility of God but the responsibility of God and man. To this end, Paul wrote to Archippus a direct instruction which is worthy of note. That instruction is our opening scripture. Looking at the instruction, we need to break it into three: Take heed to the ministry The ministry that you have received in the Lord That you may fulfil it. Ministry doesn’t fulfil itself, it is fulfilled by man. Every man walking the path of the accomplishment of God’s assignment is expected to be responsible and accountable to God for all that He has received from Him. Apostle Paul said to Archippus to get into the assi...
