MARITAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UNMARRIED
TEXT: JOHN 17: 14-15
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd
Key verse: Jeremiah 29: 11 For I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Just as Jesus prayed His Father to protect His disciples in this ravenous world, He has also prayed for you that God will not allow the devil to give his daughter to you to marry. He has prayed that God should keep your marital life clean as you listen to His word. This can be done through the word spoken unto you. Your ways are made clean when you take the word of God taught to you. Your ways will be clean and your marriage also will be according to the will of God.
If you do not marry in the will of God, you are already inhibiting your future. If you are not careful the spouse you marry might become a hindrance to your going to heaven. So let your journey into marriage be according to the will of God. Don’t take wrong marital approach. The people of the world have their own approaches. Don’t follow them.
