THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 58, THEME: THE MAN, TOPIC: THE MAN AND HIS BRIDE

 

“Marriage is a very crucial part of human existence and it is the life blood of the society at large, because what the community will look like Strongly rest on what families look like and what families looks like depends on the Kind of head(man) and the neck(wife) that supports it”

THE MAN AND HIS BRIDE

Society has suffered a great deal because we haven't given attention to family life which obviously determines a lot of things.

We would not be able to fully look into this discussion if we do not grasp God's intentions for man and then God's intentions for giving him a help meet for him.

 

IT IS NOT GOOD

 

God saw that it wasn't good for man to be alone, I'm carrying out the purposes of God man needs a help meet for him, it is the man and his wife that will become a family and establish the purposes of God in the society if darkness abides in a community, it is reflective of the fact that the families in that community have failed to establish the counsel of God in that locality, even the devil knows how powerful the structure of the family is. Whether or not the Earth will see the visitation of God again, it depends on the man and his wife.

 

FOR THIS CAUSE

 

Gen.2.24 - Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

A man that his fit to have a wife is one who doesn't rely on his parents anymore for finance or decision making, a man is one that must be able to make his own decisions, any man who is still under the influence of his parents in the area of decision making cannot lead a woman into the purposes of God correctly such a man is a child and not a man fit for marriage yet.

 

THE GENESIS 2&3 KIND OF MARRIAGE

 

A lot of marriage has been built on the threshold of pleasure and reproduction and while this is good it wasn't the original design, the original design was that God would be the center of the marriage and it would serve his purpose even in produces goodly seeds

We have just two kinds of marriage Genesis 2 and Genesis 3, the former identifies with God while the latter doesn't, it is our prayer that correct marriages will surface in this time. Many of the challenges that society faces are largely traced to a bad marriage in many ways which includes poor child upbringing amidst many others

 

BONE OF MY BONE

 

The rib which God took from man, made he a woman, God took something out of the man to make the woman, the purposes of God are vast and every man has and allowed portion in it. God sees the specific need in every man before giving him a wife, many schools of thought suggest that God doesn't have to be involved in the selection process of a marriage partner, I will say it is safer as the bible puts it in the book of Proverbs.

Proverbs 19:14, "House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD."

“Whosoever the Lord brings to you, it is because what he must have taken out of you he had used in making her, only when we trust God would we make the right choices.”

The prophet Ezekiel was instructed to prophesy to bones and after he did the bones became a mighty army even at this time God is gathering correct bones in marriage and setting them in motion even so Lord bond is two by two set on ablaze and use us to consume the camp of the Philistines.

 

HER SEED

God made a pronouncement after the fall of Adam that the seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent. The seed eventually came, JESUS himself but he came to a woman that was worthy to birth him, raise him correctly, he came to a father that could protect him from Herod, even if he was a promising child, his destiny would have ended if Joseph was not a correct man. These days God is looking for marriages that would protect their children from the Herod, Herod is everywhere, in schools, on Television everywhere.

 

When God saw that Hannah’s prayer didn’t serve his purpose he didn’t answer until she prayed his will because God needed someone to fill the shoes of Eli around that time, God is not emotional about things as this, why should God give a child to a family if they won’t raise him in the way of the lord? Did not even God testify of Abraham when he said in genesis 18:19

 

"For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him and they shall keep the way of the lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken."

 

It is important that we realize that when God doesn’t get goodly seeds from “goodly marriages” he will have to do extra work to make those children know him, in the matter of the man and his wife God is also interested in the children.

Marriage is God’s idea it is a wonderful and beautiful thing; it must be done God's way in order to achieve maximum result.

“A real man is one who influences his wife to achieve greatness, he is a father, mentor, friend, teacher and priest to his spouse or wife.”

POEM TITLED: WHO ARE YOU?

  Perhaps, we are not afraid to die But of our kin vanishing when we stagger with cravings Of our voices echoing in empty homes Empty homes that once roared with thrill and glee For if we sit and think of the life a single breath holds, How shortly a name sticks in our mouths, And how very shortly it vanishes We will be still With purpose in our eyes, we roam the earth The lies we live guard against reality and true persona The alarm goes off, We jump into the streets to a place we many a time hate To an environment that gives our souls treachery colours Time is a monster When it takes, it takes everything Do you know why we write our names on things? Perchance if your answer is same as mine, We should write our names on our bodies too. Then again, we do not. Because we own ourselves? No That golden recollection of who we are is what we own Especially in a world that forgets The silence can stroll in anytime The lips that once said our names will shut their doors You see, warnings ...

#THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 73, TOPIC: WHY WE LOSE/MISS OPPORTUNITIES

  TOPIC: WHY WE MISS OPPORTUNITIES. “Opportunity comes to those who seek for it, not those who wait for it.” Opportunities don't wait for anyone, you have to seek and find them.           Opportunities are everywhere, they exist around us, they increase by the day as knowledge increase, you have to build capacity to maximize them.   Most persons have been forced to believe that opportunities are meant for some few “lucky” fellows, that’s a lie, anyone can encounter opportunities, it all depends on your level of preparation and commitment to take the bold and impossible step. Michael Dell said, “It’s through curiosity and looking at opportunities in new ways that we’ve always mapped our path.” Try to live beyond the status quo.   REASONS WHY PEOPLE LOSE/MISS OPPORTUNITIES. There are diverse reasons why people miss/loss opportunities, but I'll focus on just three reasons, they're as follow; 1.      LACK OF SELF-D...
