MARITAL BLESSEDNESS – A CALL OF GOD TO INHERIT A BLESSING: AND GOD BLESSED THEM!
“Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:9.
I don’t know how you see marriage or your marriage – whether you see it as BLESSED and a BLESSING or CURSED or a CURSE or a MISTAKE; but I wants you to know that MARRIAGE is a marital BLESSEDNESS irrespective of the challenges and difficult times you have or may be going through right now in your relationship. MARRIAGE IN GOD’S DESIGN AND PERSPECTIVE IS BLESSED AND A BLESSING, AND NOT CURSED OR A CURSE AND NEITHER A MISTAKE.
Marriage in God’s eye is BLESSED and a BLESSING in His BLESSEDNESS, it is considered as a special CALL of God for all who choose to get involved into it by FAITH in Him, in order to INHERIT the marital BLESSING of His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For God BLESSED them – male and female – Adam and Eve, in His first marital BLESSEDNESS to set out His intent to all of mankind.
“So God created MAN in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE and FEMALE created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto THEM, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:27-28
And if you want God to become a part of you in your marital journey, you must as a matter of principle, see marriage the way God’s sees it – a calling to INHERIT a BLESSING – that’s PURE and SIMPLE. It’s either you agreed to see it in God’s perception and perspective or stay in your own self-made and world-made or rather man-made delusion. For God created and made marriage, so His way and path it shall be for now and tomorrow.
And you have to live to by FAITH in order to blossom, refresh and rejuvenate in this marital BLESSEDNESS; and if you must be victorious and triumphant in every way of doing life and living godly, in order to ensure that God’s enabling grace it’s at work to enable you overcome the challenging and difficult times that comes along with marriage, you must set your default to faith in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. It’s by faith that you can ensure the practicality and activities to overcome the state of things in this present depraved world system.
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).
“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.
“But WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.
I want you to know full well, that God will always COMMEND what He COMMANDS. He won’t break His WORD that He has taken an OATH to authenticate on the IMMUTABILITY of His counsel. For He BLESSED them – male and female – that they might share in His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.
“Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the IMMUTABILITY OF HIS COUNSEL, CONFIRMED it by an OATH: 18 that by two IMMUTABLE things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil” Hebrews 6:17-19.
Your marriage is BLESSED – knowingly and unknowingly. And it’s not about you, but about Him, who had MADE MARRIAGE; and it’s by Him only also that it works, irrespective of any of your feelings and sentiments and prejudice about marriage and God, in all perspectives.
It’s my utmost wishes that you stay married and that your marriage being BLESSED may flourish, rejuvenate and blossom as in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
