MARRIAGE VERSES MINISTRY
Brethren especially we the Youth, let’s be alert.
You should not marry someone purposely for ministry (the person becoming a
pastor and You becoming a pastor's wife). Know that becoming a Pastor or
pastor's wife is a divine calling from the lord and it has its own weights that
comes with it. Its good You desire to be one but note is a calling and
everything “calling” comes with its wilderness.
Young guy, please let's stop proposing marriage
to ladies with, “I want to marry you because I will become a pastor, you are
what I'm looking for my ministry” and that sort. Most of this end in outside
gentility, home cry. Some of these men/women become prolific ministers outside
and something else in the home. In the church, everyone knows You are Godly and
Powerful but, in the home, we wouldn’t know where to place You.
Making Your marriage work is a great evangelism
on its own, it preaches a lot and affect people's life positively because a lot
of people will be learning one way or the other from You. Young lady, don’t
be poised with becoming a Pastor's wife by force, if the calling is on
You, it does not matter who You marry, whether a member, deacon or elder when the
right time is due, the lord will make it happen.
Look for what You want in a man and if the person
meets that and You are okay with him; with prayers and assessment, accept him. Don’t
leave a man with vision for a man with television and be blaming God afterwards. Build
your friendship well from the start with prayers and through communication know
the vision of Your partner to be and help each other.
What if You marry because of ministry and You
don't end up becoming one and you don't not love the one you married, what
happens next or You become a minister and your spouse becomes a torn in your
flesh because of the wilderness he/she would be passing through. Marriage
remain marriage and ministry will remain ministry; because after church
service, marriage continues, after retirement as a minister, marriage will
still continue.
Make it a point for Yourself, spouse and children
to know Christ because they are the greatest church one could have. If You have
four children who are God centred, they will affect their friends and it goes
on, you and your spouse will also affect Your friends and nations will be saved
through Your household. Becoming a Pastor is good but don't be poised to
becoming one by force because it is a divine calling and must be honoured as
such. It is best to be a church member and be saved than being a pastor or his wife
and go to hell. God Bless You
these 2 Ms can really confuse a lot of people. thank you dear for the insight
