THEME:
Marriage As God Ordained Institution. IV.
MEMORY VERSE:
“So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.”
Ephesians 5:28.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Ephesians 5:21-22.
“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we discussed about the blessedness of marriage. That, there is dignity in being faithful to your spouse. And God bless immensely a marriage that is pure, strong and which raise godly seeds, but vows breakers will not go unpunished before God.
Meanwhile, the opening of our today’s text speak of submission to one another in the fear of God. This infer that, you must welcome and respect your spouse opinion and decision in your marriage in honour to God. Therefore, wife must honour her husband by submission in all things, especially when there is conflict of interest. Dear wife, do you totally submit to your husband? If not, turn a new person today.
Furthermore, husband is to love his wife as his own body, for failure to do this, often lead to infidelity in marriage and eventual breakdown of the family. Husband, do you love your wife unconditionally, as Jesus did for the church? So, as the husband loves the wife as himself, wife should submit to the husband’s authority and decision.
In conclusion, marriage is to live in love and harmony. While child bearing and training are God’s given tasks and duties to couples. The truth is that, we are only caretakers of whatever God releases into our bosoms. Therefore, we must train our children to be useful to God and humanity at large.
God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
I will love my spouse unconditionally. And I will welcome and respect my spouse decision.
PRAYER POINT:
Father in Heaven, You are the source of Love and harmony. Please Lord, let marriages all over the world, experience newness of love and harmony in Jesus name. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
