*TOPIC: CHRISTIAN HOMES: PILLARS THAT SUSTAIN MARRIAGES*(Series 1)
*Scripture Reading:* Genesis 2:20-25
Marriage is one single unit that touches every part of the society. People who have become armed robbers, cultists, prostitutes and assassins, yahoo are from one home or the other and the society is where it is because of them. *Once the devil is able to destroy marriage, the society is finished.* And that's why God is so much interested in our marriages as believers.
On this series, we shall be looking at some pillars that contribute and strengthen Marriages and it's my earnest prayer that the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth to you in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
Some years ago, I was opportune to help in supervising a building project in a sloppy, watering and sand fill environment. *In order to build a house there, the owner was instructed and guided on what to do to build a lasting house on the said Land by the site engineer. Full rafter was done and serious compaction by some machines. It cost millions to get the foundation done with pillars and beams well positioned.*
In the same way, marriage is a house that is in danger of being washed away unless it is built on some pretty strong pillars. I have here identified some pillars of marriage. These pillars of marriage need each other to be strengthened in order for it to stand. They are foundational;
*1) The Rock (Jesus):* The ultimate anchoring point in a marriage is a 100% shared belief in Jesus as Savior and Lord and in His Word as His infallible instruction for life and marriage. *Marriage is much more than a business contract or life strategy. It is a uniting of two into one at the deepest heart and soul level.* By definition, marriage involves a spiritual component, which is why the Lord doesn’t want us to marry unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14, Ephesians 4:5).
He knows that without a common faith, belief, and confession that a marriage will never be what it could and should be. *Knowing that one’s spouse believes firmly in what God says regarding marriage gives lasting hope that struggles and frustrations can be overcome because both spouses are following the same roadmap to the same destination.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful weekend, peace.
*Prayer point:* Father, you are the author of marriage, come into my home and remove every unwanted seed that can kill my marriage in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
