The School of Marriage

Everyone in life is a product of an education, and a school is a place where you receive formal or informal education. We have been schooled through life’s experiences or through our different upbringing. Apart from educational institutions where you receive formal training, there are other places where you belong or associate and one of such places is the school of marriage. 

Those who postulated that marriage is a school did not lie. It’s a place where you must learn, relearn and unlearn. There’s no amount of books you might have read that’s enough. Good books will prepare you but applying what you have learned is up to you.

In marriage, your character, patience, love, faith and every virtue you possess will be tested. Those who fail will repeat it, and those who fail oftentimes, and are not willing to learn, or perhaps have married the wrong spouse will bow out.

This Thing Called the Will of God in Marriage

I woke up this morning with this title dropped in my spirit, and I believe you’d be blessed reading it.

In marriage, you can either settle for your choice or God’s will, and both of them have their consequences, but I’d advise you to settle for God’s will. If you know He’ll give you the best, then you must know some truths about it.

Knowing the will of God takes time, but unfortunately, doing the will of God makes you look silly because your preference won’t count, but His, and the expectations of men won’t equal His will for your life. Mind you, He will not give you what you want, but what you need and trust me, it’s so rewarding here and in eternity.

However, there are two kinds of believers when it comes to the will of God, those who want Him to endorse their will and those who want to do nothing but His will.

Towards a Kingdom Marriage

One thing you need to know in life, whether you’d accept it or not is that marriage remains a honourable institution which God has created for the good of mankind.

Regardless of what marriages have turned out to be, your marriage can either be according to God’s design, or you can choose to run yours the way worldly people do.

A kingdom marriage has its root in the Bible. It was this kind of marriage that was seen in Genesis chapter Two between Adam and his wife before man was displaced from his position. If you would work towards having a kingdom marriage, then there are certain things you must know.

Be recreated

Until you’re fed up with the atrocities that are committed in worldly marriages, and your desire to enjoy marital bliss supersedes all mundane reasons why people get married, you won’t do with it takes to have a kingdom marriage.

God created the man, and He made the woman. Unfortunately, Satan marred God’s creation through deception; but through Christ, everyone that is born of God had been recreated.

So, have you been recreated by God as a man or re-made as a woman?

One of the things I’ve always emphasized concerning marriage is that if you do not become the right person, it’d be difficult for you to enjoy marriage.

WHO ARE YOU (4)?

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy" (1 Peter 2:9-10 KJV)

When you see a mango tree, I'm sure you'll never mistake it for a guava tree. Do you know why? A tree is best known by its leaves and the fruit it produces.

It is easy for many of us to call ourselves Christians, or to sing gospel songs because we go to church every week, but the truth about who we truly are is the kind of praise our lives show forth.

A man who is in Christ will produce, or show forth the life of Christ, either in great or small measure. You can't be a Christian and your life will produce the fruit of an unbeliever.

Jesus told the Jewish leaders that if Abraham was their father, they would do his works (John 8:39). If God is your father, you'll also prove it through your deeds and lifestyle. 

Sadly, many of us appear or behave like Christians in the church, but outside it, we manifest what we're truly made of; and that's hypocrisy.

Did you know that it's not even enough to declare or sing that you're a chosen generation, but the truth is: whose praise is your life showing?

This is a charge to examine ourselves and to call our attention to what truly matters. You can call yourself everything God says you are in the scriptures, but if your life is not showing forth His praise, then you're a hypocrite.

Your life can either show forth the praise of Him that has called you out of darkness (sin, the world) into His marvellous light, or of the god of this world who has blinded the eyes of those who do not believe.

Now is the time to recalibrate your life if you haven't been showing forth His praise. Don't wait until that day when you no longer have the chance to remedy your actions.

Repent. If God is your Father, you'll behave like His legitimate child. Remember, by their fruits, you shall know them - not by their looks.
