WALKING TOGETHER, WINNING ALWAYS

Spread the love

Bible Texts: Ps.133:2, Ecc.4:9, Mk.3:27, Ps.122:3, Matt.18:19, 1Pet.3:7-9, Matt.19:5, Gen.2:25-28, Eph.6:4, Eph.5:25, 1Tim.3:2-5

There is so much to gain when you are in partnership with your wife. God wants you to be together with your wife because that is His perfect will for you. And that is the focus of today’s teaching.

Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow but woe to him that is alone when he falleth for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat, but how can one be warm alone (Ecc.4:9-11).

The Scripture says that two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour. In Genesis chapter 2, the word of God says that for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one (Gen.2:25-28). God doesn’t want you to be alone (Gen.2:18). He wants you to stay with your wife in love and harmony (1Cor.13:4-8) because of the blessings it brings which money cannot buy. The Bible says that he that finds a wife has found a good thing and has obtained favour from the Lord. Any suggestion to do otherwise and deny you the opportunity to work together with your wife is from satan and you must resist it steadfastly (Mal.2:14).

God wants you to keep the bond of unity with your wife intact. He wants you to fight for your home. God wants you to fight for your wife and children because He has ordained you as their priest, bishop, prophet and pastor. God gave you a wife and blessed you with children. So, you are a steward. Therefore, it is your honour to keep your sheepfold intact and in perfect peace. God wants you to live with your wife joyfully. He doesn’t want you to manage your wife and children. God desires a united family for you. Anything that wants to destroy the bond you have with your wife and children is of the devil. For the devil came but to steal, kill and destroy but I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly (Jn.10:10).

If your wife tells you that she is no longer interested in the marriage, know that satan wants to steal your unity and bond of friendship. And if you are the person threatening to leave the union, then understand quickly that you are being tricked by the devil. So also when your children seem to be going the wrong ways, understand that satan your adversary wants to steal them from you. You must fight if off and recover the bond of friendship you have with your wife and children.

But for you to sustain the bond of love and partnership, you must be in love with Jesus Christ, walk in love and allow the love of God to subdue the spirit of unforgiveness, bitterness and malice (Rom.5:5). You must also learn to treat your wife and children as Christ would. For your wife, these Bible passages are your guide (Eph.5:25, 1Pet.3:7-9). And for your children these are the Bible passages (Eph.6:4, 1Tim.3:3-5). Finally, you must, on a daily basis, allow the word of God to clean your thoughts from any form of filthiness (2Cor.7:1, Rom.12:2).

As the good and godly husbandman, you must appreciate that your wife and children are not perfect. They have their weaknesses. They may make mistakes. They may cross the lines either willingly or unknowingly. What you must always allow to guide you is the love of God towards them. Your bond with your wife and children is your greatest defence and it pleases God to have them in your company as partners.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

  • Father, in the Name of Jesus, destroy the roots of bitterness, malice and hatred in my life against my wife and children.
  • Father in the Name of Jesus, saturate my heart with Your love and let it subdue the filthiness of the flesh.
  • Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me with wisdom, faith and hope and by it make me to secure my sheepfold. 

FAITH CONFESSION

I am filled with the love of Christ and the fullness of His power and by it I secure the togetherness with my wife and children in love and pleasantness because that is what enhances my position as the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
