MARRIAGE IS SACRED SATURDAY DECEMBER 2
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 7:3-5
Memory verse:
Marriage is God ordained institution and therefore must be held
sacred. Believers, church leaders and the clergy must see marriage as a holy
thing and should not be handled with carelessness because marriage is one of
the strong pillars of the Christian doctrine. Marriage should be well presented
and well understood before going into it by intending couples. The family unit
is the smallest number that constitutes the Church known as the Body of Christ
and the society at large. Therefore constant prayer, caution and care must be
taken that this small member of the Church which came as a result of marriage
is not destroyed. Peace in the marriage is peace in the Church. Blessing in the
family is blessing in the Church. So the man who is the husband, father and head
of the family should follow Biblical principles for marriage not the
traditional principles to rule his home. And the woman who is the wife and
mother must also follow suit to assist in administering the family in her
marriage to the well being of her husband, children and members of her
household. And the children see that they reverence their parents in the Lord.
Obedience to God’s words in marriage brings benefits as follows-:
Children are brought under subjection not wayward; there is family promotion
not retardation; increase not decrease; Hope in life not depression; an example
of the believers in Christian marriage not a reproach. That is as an epistle to
the world, the neighbours, friends, and colleagues. This good example is not
for the benefit of others only who see us but for our souls’ sake, because our
souls in the marriage could be lost and face eternal damnation. He who made and
instituted marriage demands obedience to this commandment the foundation to
every good marriage is marrying in Christ. For every solid building depends on
its foundation so is every good marriage and a Christian home. It is through
marriage that the law of multiplication, dominion and fruitfulness can be
achieved –that marriage must fulfil the will and purpose of God through
Christ.
Thought for
the day: Three
vital guiding principles: For God’s sake; for your soul’s sake; and for
heaven’s sake.
Song for the
day: Jesus in the
family, happy happy home…
