GOD HATES DIVORCE

Text. : Malachi 2:16.

For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment [his wife] with violence. Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit [that it may be controlled by My Spirit], that you deal not treacherously and faithlessly [with your marriage mate]._ 

(Amplified version)

God hates divorce!

The word of God specifically tells us that God hates divorce.Why then are people still getting themselves involve in what God hates? 

The major reason behind every divorce is  LOVE. I mean God's kind of LOVE is lacking in the relationship. It does not matter who is concerned, the standard  of stands firm.  God still hates divorce. 

In this dispensation of Grace, divorce is totally unacceptable to God.This is simply because God expects the relationship between husband and wife to mirror that of *Jesus and the Church.* Therefore, when a christian couple attempts divorce, they are simply telling God that Jesus can divorce the church. Divorce is a total assault from the pit of help against God's plan for marriage. Don't forget that marriage is not a product of sin. It predates the fall of man.

Jesus said,"But I tell you, Whoever dismisses and repudiates and divorces his wife, except on the grounds of unfaithfulness (sexual immorality), causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a woman who has been divorced commits adultery"(Amp). Even where there is LOVE, you will forgive your spouse any sin(so far he or she has genuinely repented).

Remember that even Adam at his falling state did not divorce his wife. Adam did not separate from Eve after they both committed the great blunder of sinning against God. 

Adam has no one else to go to. He is glued to his wife because the woman is from him in the first place. This is how we should see our relationship with our spouses-JOINED TOGETHER. "Flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones" Adam said. How possible would it have been for him to divorce his flesh and his bone?

When couples divorce, they are simply tearing their flesh and breaking their bones. They are open themselves up. They expose their nakedness. God says "I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment [his wife]"Malachi 2:16

 *_TODAY IF YOU ARE IN A COURTSHIP YOU ARE NOT SURE IS FOUNDED ON CHRIST, PLEASE BREAK AWAY. BUT IF YOU ARE IN A MARRIAGE THAT IS NOT WORKING PLEASE CALL UPON GOD TO POUR HIS LOVE IN YOUR HEART AND HEAL YOUR MARRIAGE_ .* 

Bible reading: Ephesians 5:21-33

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
