Mountain Top Life DAILY DEVOTION

THe HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR MARRIAGE

27^TH NOVEMBER, 2021

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  1 Corinthians 12 - 14

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 5:22-32

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 

23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 

26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 

27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 

28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 

29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 

30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.

 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

MEMORY VERSE: ” Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord .” – Ephesians 5:22

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

In marriages where the Holy Spirit reigns, peace also reigns.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
NO MATTER WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST OR WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT SHALL POUR HONEY INTO YOUR MARRIAGE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

THE MESSAGE:

A Christian marriage is a union between a man and a woman in holy wedlock with the approval of their families. Christian marriage forms the basis of a home where children are born and nurtured in the fear of the Lord. Marriage was instituted by God Himself (Gen. 2:18; Gen. 21:2-4).

The marriage institution is a joyful and good creation of God (Prov. 18:22). You will enjoy your marriage when the foundation is built on God. Many married couples leave the Holy Spirit out of their marriage and so, they are having issues.

Attending marriage seminars, workshops, and so on is very good but you still need the power of Holy Spirit to help you solve your marital problems. There are lots of challenges facing the home which you cannot battle successfully on your own. You need the Holy Spirit to help you build a cordial relationship with your partner (2 Cor. 13:14).

The Bible says that commitment is very essential to a successful marriage. You can only be committed to your spouse through the help of the Holy Spirit. Unfaithfulness is an enemy of marriage because it breaks the bond of trust, which is the foundation of all relationship.

You can deal with this enemy through the help of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, it will be difficult for a wife to submit to her husband and a husband to love his wife. The Holy Spirit will help a couple to raise godly children because He is the Best Teacher. The Holy Spirit is the Author of unity, and when there is unity in the home, the family will be able to fight against forces that break homes. Make the Holy Spirit a partner in your home.

However, I advise that you repent if you or your partner has strayed away from the Lord. You also need to return to Him in complete obedience if you and your partner ever stopped following His manual and roadmap for a successful Christian marriage. The Bible says that if you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land. Do you want the Holy Spirit to help and bless your marriage? Obey God’s word completely!
