Is Jesus In Your Marriage? Series
Contributed by Benjamin Suulola on Feb 22, 2023 (message contributor)
Summary: The Lord taught me that marriage is beyond my idea and if I will not repeat the mistakes of my parents, there must be a perfect agreement between me and my wife to be (then) on who will take the lead in our marital journey.
Marriage is not man's idea. It works only for those who understand this truth.
Marriage is God's idea and it takes His Wisdom and Power to make it work as He designed it to be.
JESUS is both Wisdom and Power of GOD.
I have seen how people struggle to attain God's best in marriage and couldn't achieve it because they have not been applying the Wisdom and Power of GOD.
The two wings on which a life, ministry, career or marriage can soar are the Wings of Christ - His Wisdom and Power!
Every struggle ends when we learn to wait on Christ. We will change our strength for His Unlimited strength. He will carry our marriage and cause it to soar by His Wisdom and Power.
If anyone says the journey of marriage is not demanding, such life is either lying or has laid hold on the SUPPLY outside human strength.
The latter is my own experience.
I received the understanding before starting this journey about what I just shared with you.
I laid hold on the Strength Greater than Myself.
The Lord taught me that marriage is beyond my idea and if I will not repeat the mistakes of my parents, there must be a perfect agreement between me and my wife to be (then) on who will take the lead in our marital journey.
We learnt so early that if we can be responsible to the Lord as our Head, the Head will supply the nourishment of Wisdom and Power.
I thank God my wife agreed to let us use the Airline of Christ in taking the flight of marriage.
That's the reason we have been carried and will forever mount up in His Wings of Wisdom and Power above all the torrential threats.
Kingdom marriage is built on Christ. This marriage will not just be surviving but thriving.
Is your marriage Surviving or Thriving?
Is your marriage responding to the instructions of Christ?
Is your marriage fulfilling Kingdom Purpose?
If we really allow Jesus to take the Lead, we will not get tired or lag behind in our marriage. The One who is the Idea behind marriage will supply all our needs for the journey.
Lay hold on Christ for your marriage. Ask Him to help you!
