BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 12, Judges 13, Judges 14, 2 Timothy 3, 2 Timothy 4.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 2:18-24 (KJV)
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
MEMORY VERSE: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. – Ephesians 5:31 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Marriage is a divine institution established by God with a profound purpose. It is designed to reflect His love, unity, and covenant with His people. Understanding God’s purpose for marriage can help us build strong, healthy, and fulfilling relationships. In Genesis 2:18-24, we see that God created marriage to provide companionship. “The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” God created Eve from Adam’s rib, signifying the deep, inseparable bond between husband and wife. Marriage is intended to be a partnership where both individuals support, love, and care for each other.

I recall the story of Ade and Funmi, a couple from Nigeria who have been married for over 30 years. Their marriage has faced numerous challenges, including financial difficulties and health issues. Despite these trials, Ade and Funmi have remained committed to each other and their faith. They constantly pray together, seek God’s guidance, and support each other. Their marriage is a testament to the power of unity, love, and God’s grace. Ephesians 5:22-33 highlights another purpose of marriage: to reflect Christ’s relationship with the Church. Husbands are called to love their wives just as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her. Wives are called to respect and submit to their husbands as the Church submits to Christ. This mutual love and respect create a harmonious and fulfilling relationship.
Similarly, there is the story of Kwame and Abena from Ghana. Kwame, a pastor, and Abena, a teacher, have been married for 20 years. Their marriage is marked by mutual respect, love, and a shared commitment to serving God. They actively participate in church activities and use their marriage as a ministry to mentor young couples. Their relationship exemplifies the biblical principles of love, respect, and service. Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favour from the Lord.” Marriage is also a source of blessings and favour from God. When we align our marriages with God’s purpose, we experience His blessings in our homes, families, and lives.
