Marriage is the Covenant Union between two mature adults of opposite sexes for the purpose of PROCREATION, PLEASURE and MUTUAL PARTNERSHIP in the pursuit of their GOD GIVEN DESTINY.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿?

1. An Order is a group of people united in a formal way

2. An order is an organized arrangement of people according to the level of priority or rank

3. Order can simply mean Rank

4. Lastly Order means Level

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿:

1. An established order is a widely accepted or recognized practice, tradition or custom.

2. An established order is an accepted pattern of behavior or practice that is accepted because of its success through the years.

3. An established order is a prescribed order of events of a prescribed pattern of behavior.

On this fourth treatise on the subject of the established order in marriage we will outline emphatically the order in the home. First in rank is God, He made man; male and female created He them. He must be prioritized and exalted and the marriage and family will enjoy uncommon blessings and favor.

Matthew 6:33 YLT

but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

So long as God is first in a family, everything will be falling in place. Everything rises and falls on the basis of your relationship with God. The man must love God and establish a family altar, that is, a time of corporate prayer before the Lord. There should be clear and definite house rules.

Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.

In a healthy home, God is the Commander in Chief and His Word is final authority. All the members of the household are under the loving rule of a faithful and caring God. The father must demonstrate faith in God and faithfulness to God so that his children can see the model that God expects of them.

The man is to love his wife and to lead his home. The members of his family are supposed to be under him as he is under God following his leadership. He should realize that as the father he is the embodiment of the children’s future. It is the blessing on him or the curse on him that he transfers to his posterity.

The father must learn what it takes to create an atmosphere of blessings by selflessly giving himself and giving from his resources for his family. He should know how to access Divine supplies both spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically and economically.

The mother is the third person in line. She is to lovingly defer to her husband out of respect and honor for him, catering to his legitimate needs and caring for the children. When everyone knows their role and their place everything works out right.

Exodus 21:5 NKJV

But if the servant plainly says, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,'

Ephesians 5:25 NKJV

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.

Titus 2:4-5 NKJV

that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

Couples are to love God first and foremost, then they are to love themselves and finally love their children before anyone else. That is God’s order as seen in the Scriptures above. The man should leave father, mother and siblings or relatives. Marriage works better when we prioritize our relationship with our spouses above any other family relationship.

Genesis 2:24-25 NKJV

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

The condition of the marriage will be determined by our willingness to prioritize one another second only to God the Father and our Lord Jesus. We prioritize what we value. Our priorities reveal our values. It is important that each spouse see to it that they treat each other. There should be mutual honor towards each other.

The children are to obey their parents in the Lord. They are commanded to honor their parents so that it might be well with them. Any child that wants to live long should honor his or her parents and also love God personally and intimately.

The child should know that God comes first and then Daddy and Mummy. What God says is final authority. He is obligated to God first before anyone and anything else.

If we know these things and do them it shall be well with us and our homes and marriages will be heaven on earth. Selah.

In His Majesty’s Service,

YOU HAVE GOD’S LIFE IN YOU

HOME OF ARTICLES  “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:11-12 NKJV).   At the point of New Birth, the believers become the partakers of the very life of God—the everlasting life. Jesus said,  “ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life .” (John 6:47 NKJV). John the Beloved testifies,  “ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.   He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life . (1 John 5:11-12   NKJV). Everlasting life is not a future promise but a present reality, possession, or inheritance of the New Creation in Christ. The Life Jesus gives those who believe in Him is spiritual, divine, supernatural, heavenly, limitless, timeless, or everlasting. It is not inferior in any respect to the Life...

THE PARABLE OF THE TARES OF THE FIELD (Part 1)

HOME OF ARTICLES  “ The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.” (Matthew 13:38 NKJV)   After the Lord Jesus had privately explained the parable of the Sower to His disciples, He put forth another parable about the tares of the field to the great multitude that was gathered to Him by the sea. Matthew 13:24-30 – NKJV  24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;  25 “but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.  26 “But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.  27 “So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’  28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’  29 “But he said, ...

KINGDOM LIVING

HOME OF ARTICLES  E niyekpemi Fidelis Oyinpreyebi. KINGDOM LIVING There was a challenge in how the disciples understood the presence of God to be. They had a terrible reverence for that presence. - The presence that killed Aaron’s two sons (Leviticus 10:1-2) - Uzzah died when he grabbed hold of the Ark of the covenant (2 Samuel 6:6-7) - The presence that could kill the High priest if he carnally entered the Holy of Hollies. He had to take many precautions to ensure he was ritually pure and still with a back up priest in case it all goes wrong (Exodus 28:33-35) The presence had strict protocols, living that life was a dangerous one – I believe you will agree with me too. Moses gave them very specific instructions on how to approach the mountain. They could not “come as they were” but had to sanctify themselves.  They had to wear clean clothes and abstain from sexual relations. Once they got to the mountain,  they could not contact(touch anything) or they would die. - They ...
