MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Building a kingdom marriage requires intentional effort, commitment and the grace of God. A kingdom marriage is one that reflects God’s design and purpose for marriage, where both partners are united in their love for God and each other.
I recall the story of Tunde and Ada, a couple who have been married for over 30 years. Tunde and Ada faced numerous challenges, including financial difficulties and health issues. However, their unwavering faith in God and their commitment to each other helped them overcome these obstacles. They made it a point to pray together daily, study the Bible, and attend church regularly. Their love for each other grew stronger as they leaned on God’s word and sought His guidance in their marriage.

Similarly, there’s the story of John and Mary, a couple from Kenya who struggled with communication issues early in their marriage. They decided to seek counsel from their pastor, who encouraged them to practice active listening and to always speak with kindness and love. John and Mary also joined a couples’ fellowship group, where they learned from other Christian couples and gained valuable insights on building a strong marriage. Their dedication to improving their relationship and their reliance on God’s wisdom transformed their marriage into a beautiful testimony of God’s love and grace.
God’s word provides guidance on building a kingdom marriage. Genesis 2:24 says, “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” This verse emphasises the importance of unity and oneness in marriage. Ephesians 5:22-33 instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and wives to respect their husbands. These principles of love, respect, and mutual submission are essential for a healthy and godly marriage. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 reminds us of the characteristics of love: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” By embodying these qualities, we can build a marriage that honours God and reflects His love.
