Disagreement in the home. (Divorce and Remarriage)

Lack of Agreement in the Home: Divorce and Remarriage by Couples.

Marriage is a very powerful institution which was founded by God Himself.  There is a great power in marriage.

If marriage partners could realise the type of power they wield against both internal and external forces of darkness, they will never think of fighting each other.

The devil knows that he is helpless and powerless before any family where the spouses are united and love each other genuinely.  So, what does the devil do?  He brings in all manner of things to ensure that he tears the couple apart and turns them against each other.

The truth is that the moment you start fighting with your spouse, you have already given Satan an invitation to join your household.  And, once Satan enters and settles in your home and begins to control you and your spouse, God’s presence will automatically vacate and depart from your home.

There is nothing good from Satan.  You may wish to know that the one thing that Satan hates with passion right from creation, is that union between a man and a woman known as marriage.  He hates marriage with perfect hatred.

He almost spoilt God’s plan for marriage which is holy companionship and procreation to”… replenish the earth”.  He tried it and ended up causing the eviction of the newly created tenants in the garden of Eden, after turning them against God, the Landlord of the Garden.

But God in His infinite mercy and wisdom repositioned the couple before sending them out of the garden into the wilderness of the earth to suffer and labour and sweat for their daily needs

Since then, Satan has made it his full time duty to see to the total ruin of the marriage institution.  For example, why do you see polygamy all over the place, except for some that are for the purpose of religious obligation?

Polygamy is another way that Satan has succeeded in polluting the union between man and woman. It was one man and one woman at the beginning.  But Satan brought the idea of polygamy when he made men to begin to covet for and gather more and more women to themselves.

Likewise, women began to gather more and more men to themselves.

Through polygamy, Satan has caused a lot of havoc in homes and families. Why? Because polygamy breeds jealousy, envy, pettiness, hatred, poverty, voodooism, witchcrafts, and wanton destruction of lives and properties.

Polygamy was not and is not part of God’s plan for marriage. It is Satan’s idea to ruin the holy institution.

When a couple cannot settle a little disagreement or misunderstanding between each other amicably but rather choose to beat and assault each other, success in that union will be very difficult.

As a couple, if you have any regards for God, there is no way you can feel free before His holy presence when you are not in good terms with your spouse.

For example, you cannot pray with a free mind.  God Himself will keep His distance from you and your household until you make peace and allow it to reign in your home.  But if you choose to continue to bruise and batter your wife at the slightest provocation or little offense, God will have nothing to do with you until He sees a positive change.

Or, as a wife, at the least opportunity, you start to show your husband the length and breadth of your tongue; pouring out some invectives and offensive utterances, just forget success, breakthrough, promotion, progress or favour which God gives to those who fear Him and do His will in their homes. They will be very scarce in your home.

Marriage is made to be a small heaven on earth.  But so many marriages are a type of hell on earth because of intolerance, lack of genuine love, impatience, and immaturity on the part of the couple.

The home will be weak spiritually and even physically, and will be vulnerable to all sorts of attacks and defeats by external forces from the camp of Satan, where there is no agreement and unity between spouses.

The power and strength of any home lie in the agreement, love patience, tolerance, and unity that exist between the spouses.

Satan and his cohorts will not be able to penetrate into such a home.  The Bible says that “One shall chase a thousand (enemies) and two (husband and wife in this case) shall chase ten (not two) thousand.  One person chased one thousand, but when they are two, their combined strength multiplies a hundred fold, and they are able to chase ten thousand.

There is awesome power when a man and his wife (not wives) join hands, voices and faith in prayer of agreement.

“Two are better than one,” says the Bible, “when one falls, the other will lift him”.  When the man and his wife are united in love, faith and purpose, their offspring will be as “…plants grown up in their youths; and corner stones polished after the similitude of a palace”. (Psalm 144:12).  Their lives will radiate happiness, peace and satisfaction from the Lord.

The Lord says that if this is the case in your home, and you allow God to be the controller of your life and affairs,  “It shall come to pass that before they (you and your spouse) call I (God) will answer, and while they (you) are yet speaking, I (God) will hear”. (Isaiah 65:24).

In a home like this, success, prosperity and peace will be natural to them.  It will be natural for them to succeed with ease in their businesses careers, endeavours.

Please make God a member, in fact, the head and controller of your home.

I pity some men who hardly take any suggestions, opinions, views or ideas from their wives. Such men belittle their wives and would despise their views and ideas on issues just to let them know that the husband is the lord and master of the home while the wife is a mere subordinate who must keep quiet and obey instructions and orders from the’lord’ always.

It is true that the Bible says “wives submit to your own husband’s”. But do you also know that God will respect a man who submits to the wise counsel of his wife too on some issues in the home?

Sarah told her husband, Abraham to send away their slave woman and her son from the house. When Abraham was not ready to agree with her, God intervened and instructed Abraham to listen to his wife. And he did as his wife advised.

Many men out of arrogance and pride will never give their wives’ suggestions any respect and would wave them aside as nothing. Those who disregard their wives’ counsels have always ended up the losers.

Man, if your wife were an empty head, God would not have given her to you and called her “…a help meet for the man”. It is a pity that some men misuse the gift given to them by God.

They disregard them, abuse them and always wave them aside and shout them down, even in public. Such men are only cheating themselves and will hardly enjoy the benefits of marriage.
