TOPIC: KNOWING THE WILL OF GOD IN MARRIAGE
TEXT: PSALM 119:11-16,105
KEY VERSE: PROVERBS 18:22 Whoso Findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD
A believer who wants to marry will seek God in prayer. God speaks in a simple language that the hearer will understand but the problem of many people is how to know that God is speaking to them. They desire to come to the point that they know without difficulty that the Lord has spoken or is speaking to them.
The relationship the believer has with God is as the one a child has with his parents. A new born babe may not discern the voice of the mother but it will not take long before he will become acquainted with the voice of the mother who regularly speaks with him. Therefore, understand the voice of God; how He speaks to you.
God reveals His will in marriage through the following means:
God speaks audibly: even till today God may choose to speak audibly to you, to communicate to you his will in marriage. This voice may not be heard by everybody around you but by you only.
An inner knowledge and understanding: God made Adam to know his will by an inner knowledge in his heart. Adam was not aware of the plan of God to make a woman for him but as soon as he saw the woman, he knew she was his wife.
Dreams, visions and revelations: in the case of Joseph, God used dreams to convince him of the blessed future He had for him.
God leads through circumstance:
God led Saul to Samuel to anoint him over Israel by a circumstance that had no bearing to kingship.
God leads through inspired counselling: God gave Ruth a husband through inspired counselling. When praying for God`s will in marriage beware of evil counsellors, self-will, stumbling blocks on the way, consequences of immorality and idolatry, complication from unequal yoke in marriage etc.
When you know the will of God in marriage, contact your pastor and he will direct you to the marriage committee who shall direct you on what to do
Thought for the day: Pray earnestly when seeking the will of God in marriage.
Song for the day: Open my eyes oh Lord, halleluiah 2x
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 31-32
