EXHORTATION

Gen. 2 v 25 “And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed”

  • Beloved, God ordained marriage to be enjoyed. Also, the devil is not happy about the marriage institution.  So, we have to be prayerful and watchful.  1 Peter 5 v 8 “Be sober-minded; be watchful.  Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour”
  • Marriages go through different kinds of challenges at different times and seasons. There are many remote causes ranging from mistakes, sins and direct attacks from the enemies who want our marriages to fail.
  • Anti-marriage forces abound and manifest in different shapes and forms. We must identify these factors and pray against them, make amends in order to preserve our love and marriages.
  • The truth remains that victory is guaranteed in Christ as we are ready to serve Him and apply His principles to our marriage.

SOME IDENTIFIED FORCES CONTENDING WITH OUR MARRIAGES

  1. Character problems in both spouses.
  2. Lack of adequate knowledge about family life issues.
  3. No pre-marriage teachings, counselling and deliverance.
  4. Impatience on the part of both spouses; lack of endurance and understanding
  5. The man not knowing the needs of the woman and the woman not knowing the needs of the man.
  6. Unfaithfulness in marriage. Being too secretive with each other.
  7. Sexual problems – adultery, sexual perversions, lack of sexual knowledge, pornography, masturbation, cyber-sex, emotional adultery, etc.
  8. Insensitive to your partner’s emotional profile.

  10. Punishing your partner with sex, food, socials, care, starving your partner in all areas.
  11. Making your partner an option while he/she makes you a priority.
  12. Taking decisions in anger. Regretting openly saying why did I marry you.
  13. External pressures on the marriage from family members, friends, in laws and strangers.
  14. Inability to accommodate each other’s weaknesses.
  15. Financial challenges – Loss of job, unemployment, business failure, lack of money to meet basic needs and finance projects, indebtedness.
  16. Inability to plan together. Either party stubbornly going alone to plan and execute projects.  Not having FAMILY FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO
  17. The man wasting funds without the wife knowing or the other way around.
  18. Worldliness – Nightclubbing, gambling, socials, buying luxuries without investment.
  19. Investment with titles in your names. This brings INSECURITY and SUSPICION into the marriage.  Trust is questioned.
  20. Lack of care for each other and the children.
  21. Self-pity, nagging, no submission, no provision for the family, insincerity, frustrations, competition, domineering spirit, lack of romance, telling lies, inability to accept your faults, worries, not wanting to cover your partner’s nakedness, self-deception, lack of organisation, poor hygiene, etc. will open the doors for troubles and challenges in the marriage.
  22. Demonic interference, manipulations, projections, evil control, regulations and instructions. Marine, occultic and witchcraft attacks.  Evil family flow/trend/pattern.  Witchcraft lies/sacrifice to separate couples.  Sicknesses and strange afflictions from the pit of hell.

 ADVICE

To overcome these challenges, both couples must examine themselves, deal with weaknesses in their lives, acknowledge and accept them first, then forgive each other.  Make amends and then start prayers.  In a situation where one of you doesn’t co-operate, let the other party pray, God will intervene by His mercy in Jesus name.  Please don’t take SHAMEFUL ALTERNATIVES.  Remember Abraham/Hagar & Ishmael Gen. 16 v 3 – end

I also advice you see marriage counsellors and finance counsellors; seek medical attention, nutritionist attention when and where needed.  Also go for deliverance ministration in a word-based prayer ministry.  VICTORY IS YOURS IN JESUS NAME

Engage the weapon of faith and pray!
