MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 25 January 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Not God’s Idea (II)
TOPIC: Not God’s Idea (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 25 January 2019)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 5:22-28
Bible In One Year: Exodus 12-13; Matthew 16
MEMORY VERSE: “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:” – Isaiah 1:19
The MESSAGE:
Marriage is a covenant involving God, a man and a woman. It is also a life-long affair. A covenant is a binding agreement between two people and it leads to honour and dignity for the parties involved. Hebrews 13:4 affirms that marriage is honourable. This is true if you do it and run it in God’s way.
In the marriage convenient, the man and woman involved have individual responsibilities that God has given them. When a marriage is working and successful, it is because the man and woman involved are obeying God’s instructions for marriage. Where the marriage is not working, it is because the covenant is being violated either by the man or the woman or both of them. God is never at fault.
Isaiah 1:19 says, “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good is the lands.” To enjoy the blessings of marriage, dear brother, you must know and fulfill your God-given responsibilities in marriage. Similarly, to enjoy the blessings of marriage, dear sister, you must know and abide with your responsibilities.
Learn how to become the husband God desires you to be. Fulfil your responsibility as a husband. Someone said that responsibility is the price of greatness and a life without responsibilities is a liability. Ephesians 5:25 is God’s standard that summarises a husband’s responsibility to his wife in the marital covenant relationship: “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.” The same Ephesians 5 but verse 22 reveals the wife’s responsibilities to her husband in marriage, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Dear brother, do you love your wife as Christ loves the church?
A marriage where the husband or wife shirks their responsibilities is not God’s idea. Dear sister, are you submissive and obedient to your husband as unto the Lord? If you have not been obeying God’s covenant of marriage in your marital life, ask God for the grace to obey and turn a new leaf today. God rewards the obedient. Your marriage will begin to experience a turnaround, in Jesus’ mighty name.
