MARRIAGE MATTERS: AN ENCOURAGEMENT & ADMONITION


It is extremely important to make sure you marry right. It will determine whether you have a great or hellish experience or perhaps just a mediocre relationship like cohabiting roommates. This will particularly be the result of your choice of partner and perhaps, even more importantly, on what you do in marriage based on your mutual preparedness and willingness to learn and do as much as you can to make it great.
But for those who think they have made the mistake of marrying the wrong partner, don't give up, don't let Satan take advantage of the situation to kill you with destructive depression, don't commit suicide and go to hell fire because of earthly marriage. In the eternal Kingdom of Heaven, there is no marriage. For the children of God shall be like angels with celestial bodies. Focus on Eternity. Call upon God. He will deliver you from it or help you through it. He knows how to resurrect the dead and turn water to wine. But surely you shall know many sorrows indeed in this life if you're in a bad marriage. It can cut short your life and undermine or truncate your calling, finance, health, etc.
Singles, you are blessed. You have the benefit of more knowledge and the opportunity to make a good choice. Flee wrong relationships before you are sucked in by emotions or pressure. Honor the red flags. Don't marry carelessly, blindly or superficially. Pray. Open your eyes. Assess objectively. Be honest. Don't be needy or greedy. Ask the right questions. Get knowledge. Seek mentors. Read. Listen to your heart. Grow up very well, work on yourself first and have a mature and independent adult mind. Marriage is for the mature who live by true love, the fear of God and understanding hearts not for the self-centered, dishonest and immature. Note that true love is characterized by a serving and selfless heart and is not limited to only romantic feelings, charm and attraction although attraction is important for complete connection to take place in heart, mind and body. Marriage is a lifelong "covenant" or commitment not a momentary ceremony.

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f

It is the deeply embedded heart attitude and habitual practice of holding highest regard, giving supreme adulation, paying unparalleled homage, rendering foremost service or according topmost dedication to someone or something.  Human beings were designed to worship.

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
