Your Bride Belongs To You

Spread the love

Main Scriptures: Jn.3:27-29

More Scriptures: Mal.2:14, Gen.3:16, Eph.5:25

John answered and said, a man can receive nothing except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not Christ but that I am sent before him. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice, this my joy therefore is fulfilled (Jn.3:27-29)

Let me begin by telling you that your wife belongs to you and you alone. She doesn’t belong to another man but you. That is the sealed covenant by God when you married you wife. Yet ye say, wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, yet she is thy companion and the wife of thy covenant (Mal.2:14). Your wife is God’s prized jewel to you. And God has given her to you exclusively for your own benefit. So, if your wife seems to be having an adulterous relationship with another man or she is hooked on pornography or drugs, fight for her recovery. She is not meant to be in that wrong relationship or substances or habits. She is meant to be with and for you because she belongs to you. You are the bridegroom and she is the bride. And if the word of God says that he that has the bride (wife) is the bridegroom (husband), you had better believe it. You own her. You had better fight to have her. You had better fight to occupy that space that others have replaced you with.

But why do I own her and why did God hand her over to me? The first reason is because God wants you to enjoy fellowship with her. And these include spiritual (praying together, sharing the word as a team and much more) and sexually (sex and sensual contacts) fellowships (Ecc.4:9-12, Gen.2:24;25). Secondly, it is so that you can gain speed in all your endeavours. Jesus Christ who remains the perfect example of a good and godly example tells us that when you both as agree as touching anything on earth, it shall be done for you. When Jesus Christ was “missing”, it took both Joseph and Mary to find where He was-at the temple.

So imagine all these benefits and you can understand why satan is more interested in making you live a lonely life by taking your wife farther away from you through unforgiveness, rebellion and adultery. Satan knows that you will always have the advantage over him and his works if you and your wife work in harmony. He also knows that you will have a smooth ride in providing purposeful leadership to your family when you have a cordial working relationship with your wife. Therefore, fight the good fight of faith. Make yourself an indispensable and valuable asset to your wife and watch her serve faithfully all the days of her life.
