The Mystery of Unity


I have always wondered on this mystery and I finally got an answer to it! In my few marital years, I have observed that moments when I make God my priority, when I totally yield to him is when am closest to my husband. The closer I am to God, the closer I am to my husband. I am more patient, loving and I even hear things on his mind!! This really baffles me a lot, it is so amazing, the mystery of unity in marriage.
This mystery is simply God. Remember the three fold cord? GOD, YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE? The three fold cord that cannot be easily broken(Eccl 4v 12b). Am going to use this image as an illustration;
God

Husband                                      Wife
The truth is the closer we are to God, the closer we get to our spouses. The couple in the triangle above, has God as their foundation, but in a marriage relationship, that is not enough. We need to have constant relationship with the author of marriage to be able to understand each other and love each other like God himself wants us to. As you move closer to God, the gap between you and your spouse fizzle out! Now check out this same couple, they decide to personally have a relationship with God and get closer to him. 
God
Husband                        Wife

As both couple decide to move closer to God, the gap between them fizzle out! Several things happen here, couples get closer with each other in unity, and they each become Christ like, they raise Godly seeds and our society becomes a better place. One will chase a thousand and two, tens of thousands, the enemy is aware of this power in unity and he will try to bring so many distractions our way, to affect our relationship with God and eventually our relationship with our spouses. Let us hold on to God, who first loved us because he alone can help sustain our marriage relationships. This is the mystery of unity!
Yours in the walk….

OVERSHADOW

The word overshadow means to tower above or to cast a shadow over .  Its Christmas and it is important to take another look at the Christmas story. I have read this story in the bible so many times, but this year something struck me and that is the word "overshadow". Luke 1:26-38 is an account of Mary's encounter with an angel who told her she would conceive and bear a son, whose name shall be called Jesus and he will be great and will be called Son of The Most High. Mary then asked the question how all this events will take place because she was a virgin and the angel explained in  Luke 1: 35: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of The Most High will  overshadow  you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God" Now here is my understanding, when there is a purpose to be birth, when God is set to carry out an assignment through one of his own, to carry out HIS assignment and purpose which supersedes every human com...

HEAVENLY PLACES

I have just finished a bible study with the women's group from my church, we studied the book 'Armor of God ' by Priscilia Shirer. It was an interesting study and i had so many things to learn. An important lesson i learned from the bible study is about heavenly places which i am going to be sharing. I found this particular revelation very liberating for me and i pray it will be liberating for you as well. For me, there is something intimidating when the bible verse  Ephesians 6:12  is quoted  "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Scary right? look at all the forces of darkness in one sentence :) I know the next thing people say is "God is one your side" "God is fighting your battles"... But there is an understanding that you need to have, You need to have an understanding...

Sorrowful to Surrender

It's Easter and i was pondering on Jesus's days before crucifixion and after resurrection, the journey from his time in Gethsemane to Galilee was something, a lot happened in those few days before his death to days after resurrection. What is our response in times of difficulty, grief, pain and suffering?  One important lesson from this study is that God meets us in our difficult seasons.  Let's start with Jesus' experience, Jesus in a state of grief before his death, he knew what was to come and he was overwhelmed with so much sorrow. Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭37‬-‭38 ‬ ‭ “And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “ My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me. ” Imagine the soul being sorrowful even unto death, imagine the state of mind he was in? What was his response? He prayed! Not once, not twice but he went back 3 times praying until he returned fully surr...
