GOD MADE MARRIAGE FOR THE FLESH, NOT FOR THE SOUL

God bless you for taking your time to study.

GOD MADE MARRIAGE FOR THE FLESH, NOT FOR THE SOUL

TEXT: GENESIS 2: 21-25 

MONDAY OCTOBER 31st

Key verse: Matthew 19: 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female 
There are many who think they are in a marriage relationship when actually it is not so by the scriptural standard. Where the Bible has not proved such a relationship to be a marriage, the continued cohabitation of the two on the assumption that they are husband and wife is seen by God as fornication or adultery. Oneness in marriage relationship is only a matter of the flesh, not in the soul. Our text today shows a husband and his wife are one flesh in marriage. When God created the man, he became a living soul when He breathed into him. The woman also became a living soul when God breathed into her. They are different. God says, “All souls are mine. The soul that sinneth, it shall die”. 
Marriage is not the two partners becoming one spirit or one soul but one flesh.  We talk about the flesh when we refer to the physical. We talk about the soul and the spirit when we refer to the spiritual.  It goes therefore that, that which cannot be seen with the naked eyes, is not in the equation of marriage. Rather, marriage only relates to that which can be seen with the naked eyes. Marriage joins the man and woman together which we can see and touch but not their souls which we can neither see nor touch. 
Therefore, the authority of the man over the woman is limited to matters of the flesh. It is not in everything that the man can exercise authority over the woman because the spirit is accountable to God only. Man! Let the woman serve God the way she wants because she will defend it before her God. The same thing goes for the man. Woman! You cannot force the man to do your will. No! He has a soul. That soul is accountable to God. The man has a spirit accountable to God. The spirit is not to do your will. Both the spirit and the soul of the man and the woman are to do the will of God. 

Thought for the day: Your Creator created you for His will, not yours

Song for the day: Every living soul, every living soul, praise the Lord

Bible reading for the day: 
Jeremiah 29-30; Titus 1

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
