*Theme: Divine Marriage Series 5* by Rev W***y B ENOCH
*Topic: The secrets your partner must hear before wedding*
Text: Amos: 3
Introduction: Wedding is different from marriage. A wedding is an event that happens in a space of hours. Some could be great, and some could be less great. Marriage is what happens a day after the wedding.
Marriage is between two different people from different backgrounds and accepted to come together as ONE.
Marriage is a work. Marriage is unity, and that is why it's called One plus One is ONE.
Marriage is walking/working together. What makes marriage work is the alignment of purpose between two partners.
Never marry a woman or man that you do not share the same purpose (i.e-- a believer should not marry from the other religion, neither are you as a believer allowed to marry an unbeliever)
Marriage is a thing of the spirit.
Sermon Details
Marriage is a work/walk of unity. Seeing from one angle; speaking with one voice( Our house, our car, our children, etc)
Before weddings, partners should sit down and discuss; that is why courtship is important.
There must be an agreement to put things in order in all ramifications.
When purpose is not understood in marriage; when the man or woman fells, the covenant of marriage is broken.
It is better to break engagement than to break the covenant of marriage.
Partners shouldn't break the covenant of marriage, most especially when children are involved.
N.b: The attitude of parents in marriage determines the outcome/decision of their children concerning marriage.
Covenant begins in the realms of the spirit and that is what bound couples together. It involves the soul and that's what is called SOUL-TIE.
Getting married isn't the first thing to be done. There are secrets your partner is meant to know before marriage.
Why do couples lie? They lie to save their marriage(i.e., fear of letting go)
Couples need to open up to each other in order to avoid future problems.
N.B: it is better to tell the truth before marriage than to lie ... Naked your heart, not your body before marriage, and not the other way round.
S*xual sin is an exchange of blood. Life is in the blood which when committed have broken the covenant of marriage..
As a lady, do not expose your body before marriage because your heart will be wounded.
What is secret?
Secret is something kept hidden or concealed from others. In everyday and biblical use, secret carries weight because hidden things have power.
N.B: A secret can protect, betray, or create intimacy depending on its usage(proverb 11:13).
Secrets your partner should know before marriage *Having a child outside marriage:*
having a child before marriage shouldn't be used to judge the woman because it can be due to circumstances, but as long as the person is in Christ he/ she is not condemned.
As a man, you shouldn't ask a lady if she is a virgin because as long as she is in Christ, she is a renewed virgin.
If the truth about having a child before marriage becomes known after marriage, then the door is open to breakage.
Even in marriage, mistakes are bound to happen. If, as a man, you have a child outside marriage, you don't just bury it under the carpet. You need your pastor and also wise counsel.
N.B: In Christ, old things are passed away, so no marriage counsellor should judge anyone.
*Been married before*
*Health issues*
*No job; no house*: as a wife, calling your family members or friends for financial assistance, it's a shame in the context of marriage. Learn to cover your spouse.
*Conclusion:* The secret in a man's heart is like a time bomb. The unconfessed sin in a marriage is like fire on a mountain; run run run.
Peradventure a mistake happens in the marriage, open confession is advised with prayers... No matter how you love your partner in marriage, there are emptiness/vacuum in your heart that even your partner can't fill; only God can fill it.
N.B: Marriage isn't complete without God Involve God in every matter in your house.
1. Marriage doesn't make one whole and complete.
2. Marriage reveals who you are, but wedding displays your beauty, money, and association.
3. In marriage, you see your spouse's nakedness physically, spiritually, mentally, financially and otherwise.
4. It's better to know now than to discover five years to come. What you tolerate now, multiplies in the future.
5. Marriage doesn't deliver a person from fornication. It rather exposes you more. When you fail to overcome fornication before marriage the senior brother,adultery is waiting for you.
6. Marriage doesn't make a person holy, it's God that fill you up.
7. If there is a weakness, trash it, speak out and settle it.
8. You don't use marriage to cover your weakness, you run to God to deliver you and then discipline yourself.
9. As a man, never train a girl to school while you remain an illiterate because it doesn't end well. If you must train anyone, train on the basis of love, not for what to get at the end.
10.Don't marry anyone you will be ashamed of, marry your class(somebody who will understand and appreciate you)
Finally, allow your partner to grow and improve.
Couples tolerate each other to grow....
*SEE YOU IN THE OUR NEXT SERVICE*
