*Scripture Reading:* Hosea 4:6b, John 6:63
*"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life]."*(AMP)
We started looking at pitfall to avoid in marriage yesterday, we shall continue from where we stopped today by God's Grace.
*2) Lacking of knowledge:* Hosea 4:6b says; *"my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge...."* Lacking of knowledge destroy a home. You must build your home constantly on the knowledge of God. With knowledge, you averted many ways of the devil. *It's an error to go into marriage/ relationship without adequate knowledge. The marriage/relationship is liable to crash without any notice.*
*3) Being double minded:* Being double minded with your spouse causes you to be unstable in all of your ways. You can never enjoy or see the best embedded in him/her because your thought, vision and mission are different. *You must constantly walk on the same frequency to avoid pitfall in your marriage.*
*4) The carnal mind is an enemy of God:* To avoid pitfall in your marriage/relationship, be spirit filled. Being carnal makes your spirit to be subjected to your flesh. *"The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you —they are full of the Spirit and life.*"(John 6:63). Never give room to carnality, it makes you worldly and when you are worldly, you will be control and manipulated by the worldly system.
*5) Refusal to forgive your spouse:* Another pitfall in marriages is when you conclude never to forgive your spouse. And the moment you refuse to forgive your husband/wife hurts, it causes you to live in torment and hinder you from receiving God's promises. Matthew 6:14-15 says, *"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.
*Prayer point:* Create in me a clean heart o God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me to please you in my marriage in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
