Singles - Keeping The Marriage Bed Pure 2

It is very important that we keep our marriage beds pure in order to live fulfilled lives and be who God has created us to be. Once a person is in the wrong marriage or relationship, it is very difficult for such a person to fulfill the reason why he was created. Instead of the door of Heaven to be opened in that home or relationship, the door of hell is opened. That is why in such homes and relationships it is common place to see bitterness, rage, anger, envy, strife, depression, oppression, infidelity, rebellion, verbal or physical abuse, competition, unruliness and the likes. For our marriage beds to be undefiled, there is a need to focus our minds on Christ according to Romans 12:2. We must continually feed our minds with God's Word: His goodness and His way of doing things. Whatever you feed your mind with is the basis for your actions. When you feed it with trash, check out your actions and relationship with others! The Bible says as a man thinks so he is, thus, we must guard what goes into our hearts and the thoughts that occupy our minds.

God expects you to guard, keep and cultivate the Word He gives you on a daily basis. If you do not do this then there is something else you are guarding, keeping and cultivating, because man had been engineered to carry out this mandate from the very beginning. Not to guard, cultivate or tend is against the very nature of man. The Bible then tells us in Songs of Solomon 4:12-16, the Beloved (Spouse, Fiance) is like a well loved Garden. A well cultivated Garden! Stop awhile and ponder on these questions: How have you been treating the Garden in your care? Are you destroying it? Are you improving it? What demands are you laying on the Garden? Do you not know that if you break the fences of a well cultivated Garden, wild beasts will come in and destroy it? If you have fallen short on any of these, then seek His face to right the issues. It does not matter whether you are married or engaged, make peace with the Lord Jesus Christ so as not to lie on thorns. If you refuse especially if you are yet to be married, remember this: whatever you take to the altar is what you will leave the altar with because the man or woman cannot be transformed there. He or she must have been transformed before the day of joining. If not, if you join yourself to a prostitute or a vagabond, you are one with such. Get your head out of the clouds of unreality and face the enemy head on to take out every weed from your marriage bed!

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
