· * Marriage was created by God; therefore
instruction for godly marriage must come from Him. Who created marriage? Who
has the power to instruct you to marry? Since God is the one that created it,
He is the one who created your partner. Therefore, He is the only one who can
guide you aright.
·
*Decision on marriage must not come from the
flesh. The flesh is a deceiver. It is an enemy in your camp. The Bible says the
flesh profit nothing, it is the spirit that quickens. The man or woman your
flesh may want you to marry may be the wrong one for you.
·
* Marriage is not for boys and girls. You are a
mad person when in secondary school, you are talking about marriage. Therefore,
shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife.

Before thinking about marriage you
must be physically matured, mentally matured and spiritually matured. You can be physically matured at the age of 18
for women and 21 for men, but physical maturity is not all there is to get
married. You may be physically matured but might be spiritually and materially immature.
You must make sure you have something doing to feed yourself with before you
bring a second mouth. There is no way a hungry man can feed a hungry woman. Being spiritually matured, you must know how to pray and hear God speak. Nobody is
praying for problems but if by chance you run into problems in your marriage,
you can go back to God and tell Him, You asked me to marry this person so you
have to solve this problem, but if he didn’t tell you to go there and there is
problems and you call on Him to help you, He will say did I send you there. So
this is why it is important you hear from God before you marry the person. If
you do not have a clear method of hearing from God first, you have to go and
sort that one out, receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and learn how to hear
from God. Once you begin to hear from Him your progress begins. Don’t say I
have peace in my heart that he or she is the one. There is something called
evil peace- meaning you have peace on the wrong thing.
·
* It is an abomination for a believer to be a
friend or marry an unbeliever. 2 Corinthians 6:14 says, Be ye unequal yoke
with an unbeliever……..” There is no connection between light and darkness. Don’t
marry an unbeliever and say I will convert him or her. Any man demanding sex
before marriage is an unbeliever. He is not born again, whether he is speaking
in tongues it does not matter. It is a sure sign that the person is not born
again. When you come across any man who wants to marry you, it is easy to know
who is very worldly. If you see a man who wants to marry you and you go to his
house and you don’t hear “Let us share the word, what did they preach today in
your fellowship, you don’t hear what did you do in your quiet time”, all he wants to do is to rob his hands all over
you, kiss every part of your body, that is the ceremony every time you go
there, you get there with your cloth well ironed and leave his place with a
ruffled cloth, then you are just planning to marry a child of the devil. And you
don’t fall to his tricks or pressure that "anytime you come here, we just talk and talk, how am I sure
you are impotent". That is the language of the devil.
·
* Destiny must come before partner. Fisrt of all
discover your destiny before before you begin to pray about a wife or husband.
Your destiny is your mission here on earth, if not you will marry a partner who
will be a deficit to your destiny. You could marry a destiny killer. Your
destiny is the purpose for which God created you.
·
*Marriage is a life time contract, therefore, do
not rush into it. Many have rushed in and rushed out like fire. You must
prepare because what you do not prepare for cannot give you the best.
·
*The devil battles against establishment of godly
marriage. This is why praying about it is very important. That is why many
Christians have marital problems today. The enemy does not want a good matches, he
prefers wrong matches. I pray even if you come from a family that marriages do
not work your own will work in Jesus name.
·
* There are ancestral and demonic roadblocks to
marriage. The enemy will just deceive
you that you are good for nothing and no good thing will come your way. You will be meeting the wrong people, unserious people, married men who are
polygamous in nature, those who are completely children of devil. They are the
ones who will be showing interest in you. Know that there is a roadblock somewhere and pray.
· *It is dangerous to give your body to a man
before you are married to him. Pre-marital sex before marriage can destroy
the foundation of your marriage.
