And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.” Genesis 24: 67 Isaac got Rebecca and had to examine her; do I accept this woman although the dowry has been paid, marriage has not been formed. The parents have released her, Isaac was not there and there was still a process left. Isaac brought her into his mother’s tent, they were in a room, then he took her and she became his wife –one flesh. There was knowledge of one another; they had sexual intercourse that completed everything. Which means that up to that moment Isaac can reject that lady by not touching her, but to consummate it he took her into a room and lay with her. Now we can see the role of sexual intercourse in consummation of marriage. It is important because, there are people who married and did everything in the church, and when they go to the room, the woman goes to discover that the man is impotent. The Bible says “nevertheless to avoid fornication, let every woman have her own husband.” This is not marriage then because the man doesn’t have anything to keep you from fornication. It was not a sickness that came up after the marriage, but now, that which is to complete the marriage you don’t have. No! You’ve not married because the woman is not correct. She does not have the property of a wife but then there’s something we must know when this kind of a thing happens let the man or woman raise a cry on time otherwise silence will be taken for agreement or for an answer. There’s a period of time in which you should show this otherwise it is taken that you’ve accepted it so, no separation on the basis of your acceptance. If you say no, then cry out let’s know immediately. You know this teaching given here, came out of reasoning because Paul said, “But to the rest speak I, not the Lord”. I speak in the same way on this peculiar matter because if we all jump it righteousness will not be complete. Many will stumble and fall for many who married such people knew not what to do, eventually becoming adulterers since they couldn’t keep themselves. Thought for the day: The two shall become one flesh Song for the day: We are heirs of the Father Bible reading for the day: Ezra 1-2; John 19:23-42 #horemow.
