Marriage. . . .A Tree of Life !


As the Holy Bible describes the attributes or the benefits of living a God-fearing life it reads:
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. In today's segment, we relate these attributes to marriage.
From it's inception, marriage has always been looked upon by God as a part of a righteous plan.
Adam and Eve in the garden became the first married couple. 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. 21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man
Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. . . .and because of this great intervention by God, the marriage union is formed and a righteous relationship before God and man.
Now notice in this scripture again, the benefit: Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; that's also your marriage. You see my dear friends, when we as marriages begin to realize the wondrous magnitude of our marriage union, and it's powerful affect in the world, we will begin to appreciate one another more. That's right, believe it or not, your marriage carries an authority, a power if you will, and it has affect on humanity. Sound mind boggling? . . . well it isn't. Why do think that there is so much disruption concerning marriages. Divorce, abuse, infidelity, same sex marriage, pre-nups, confusion, and the list goes on and on to throw the world off track, just so mankind does not see marriage in a clear perspective; in othere words, the way it was intended to be: by God!. Amazing eh? All this fuss with marriages by Satan to try to deminish the authority and influence that it carries. A trick of the enemy. Can't you see it?
I tell you now, so that it will incite your thinking; IT IS A DIRECT ATTACK OF SATAN!
That's why the churches now are so ineffective and weak; because the marriages are under attack. Weak marriages. . . . .weak church. Your marriage carrys a strength!
My dear friends, if you are married today, you must treasure your relationship! I encourage you to hold on, keep the faith, love your wife, love your husband, and thank God that you have been chosen to carry the true testimony of "oneness". It is God's plan, and out of it comes a "tree of life".
The tree of life is the continual growth and sustaining power that reproduces over and over. You see, life brings life. Your marriage as an entity alone is like a monument or a city set on top of a hill. It can't be hid, it stands out, it is a declaration to the humanity, that you two have become one through love, faith , commitment and covenant. YOUR MARRIAGE IS A TREE OF LIFE . . . HALLELUJAH!
Mark 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. . . .YOUR MARRIAGE PROVES THAT IT IS (THE STRONG MAN) AND CANNOT BE BOUND! . . .do you get it? That's why it's so important to cherish your marriage, it actually makes a statement to the world. Praise God!
Well I'm getting happy now so I'd better close. Your marriages can work, it can last, and it will last. You don't have to fall into the category of the masses. Stand up for your marriage and declare to the world: OUR MARRIAGE IS A TREE OF LIFE! . . . .AMEN!
May the Lord richly Bless you today and always remember:
You Are Blessed!
