THE AGENDA OF HEAVEN FOR YOUR MARITAL LIFE SHALL NOT FAIL, IN THE NAME IF JESUS.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

It is necessary to be guided by God in such an important issue of life as marriage (Proverbs 3:3-7; Jeremiah 10:23). There are conditions we must fulfil before God will guide us (Matthew 6:25-32; Psalms 66:18). You shall give full attention to the teaching of God's word on how not to and how to find a help meet. Let us first examine the former. I call them carnal and destructive methods of choosing a partner. They include: walking by sight (Judges 14:13), carnal choice motivated by lust and sin, selection based on ungodly parental command, prayerless approach and tribal sentiment (Judges 21:16-20). Others in this category are fake prophets and prophecies, personal decision lacking divine approval and asking with an idol in your heart (Deuteronomy 7:14).

Beloved, choosing a spouse the wrong way has several grave consequences. Let us examine some of them. First, the New Testament commands against unequal yoke. Who is an unbeliever? The prosperous man who is not born-again, the beautiful lady who is not Christlike, the well-behaved person who has not given his life to Jesus, the religious, dutiful, conscientious church-goer who has never truly repented, the "believer" who is not a new creature, the "convert" who is not free from sin, the "Pentecostal" who speaks in tongues but lacks divine love for God and brethren, the backslider who is no more in Christ. It is ungodly for any believer to elope with a woman or man, no matter the divergent and unyielding stance of the parents (Genesis 31:20-51). People in such a situation must pray and trust in the Lord, who gave the revelation of His will, to finish the work, for with God all things are possible. The church will not join a couple in marriage, where one of them had been married and the partner is alive (Matthew 19:4-6), the lady has not obtained the consent of her parents, the lady is already pregnant, the couple is unequally yoked -- one of them is not born again or not a Christian at all.

Leviticus 18:27 says that for all these abominations have the men of the land done which were before you, and the land is defiled. Beloved, I encourage you to trust God and acknowledge Him in all your ways. Your marital life will be a success story.

O GOD ARISE AND COVER MY NAKEDNESS Part 1

Revelation 3: 17. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Genesis 3: 7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11. And he said, Who told thee that thou was...

RETURNING SATANIC ARROWS BACK TO SENDER!!! (2)

Psalm 35: 1. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. 2. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. 3. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. 4. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. 5. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. 6. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. 7. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. 8. Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. Psalm 27: 12. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 13. I had fain...
