TITLE: SUCCESS IN MARRIAGE
AUTHORS: BISHOP DAVID & PST FAITH OYEDEPO.
Satan's Interest in the Home
God's plan for the Family is revealed in Genesis 2:18:
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
He established marriage for the purpose of making life good for man. And after He instituted marriage, God confirmed that it was very good. However, it was not long after that the enemy arrived on the scene. As a matter of fact, it was soon after God performed the wedding ceremony, and declared, "Behold Mr. and Mrs. Adam", that Satan showed up.
Satan is the enemy of everything good. Having lost access to goodness immediately he fell from heaven, he cannot stand anyone else enjoying good. He is envious of any good thing, so he goes about reversing the order of things. This is what makes him wicked.
People attribute the crisis in homes to incompatibility or disagreements, but it is actually Satan who is behind the woes in families. He has determined to cause havoc in homes. He would do anything or pay any price to shatter a home. Quite a number, even in the Church, are victims of this satanic onslaught against families.Some wish they were never married, yet God says, "I created it for your good."
I can imagine Adam wishing he was never created when he was driven out of Eden into the wilderness. I picture him running away from the wild animals which had been his pets before Satan entered the garden and sent man out.I perceive that Satan was envious of the fact that the couple were standing on their feet, while he was crawling on the ground. So he came with a mission to have them grounded.
But the good news is that although Satan bruised the heel of mankind, to floor him, man can bruise his head and wound him fatally. This was what Jesus came to do on earth. As the seed of the woman, His mission on earth was to bruise Satan's head and empower us to do the same.
I decree peace in every troubled home in the name of Jesus.
