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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
