MARRIAGE IS MINISTRY & MINISTRY IS A CALLING
Brethren, the fact that someone is an Elder, Deacon, Deaconess, Pastor, Prophet, etc doesn't mean is automatic that their marriage will work. Ministry is a calling on its own and marriage is a ministry on its own. Marriage is an everyday job. Marriage requires continuous work to make it enjoyable. Let's stop proposing to people with this phrase "I want to marry you because of my ministry, I want to become a Pastor and the way you are good, you can help my ministry". Do you know the other person's ministry and are you also willing to be a helper? Let's stop thinking "ME, ME" when it comes to marriage and start thinking "US, US". So what will she be to you aside from ministry?
Please Young ladies, stop pressuring your to-be(s) with these questions❓
1. Why are you still a brother?
2. Why are you not an Officer?
3. When will you be an officer?
4. You always walk with Pastor, did he say anything about you becoming a Pastor?
The fact that someone isn't an officer or Pastor doesn't mean the person will go to hell or he/she isn't Godly. You will hear some ladies saying " Men of God said I will be Osofomaame but because you are not an officer, then I can't continue this relationship. God doesn't call only officers to become Pastors/Sofomaames. We have Pastors, Apostles, and Prophets who were Church members before their calling. Is good if you desire to work in the house of God as a Pastor or a pastor's wife but you have to know that, that is a CALLING and is only GOD that CALLS.
My Dear Sisters, let stop putting unnecessary pressure on our young men and vice versa. My Brothers, marriage, and Ministry are two entities. Let's know how to work on both so that, our marriage wouldn't lead us to HELL or our ministry wouldn't destroy our marriages which will also lead us to HELL. All must work well for us to reach equilibrium. For us to be true examples of Christ, others must see Christ in our marriages as well as ministry. Don't be a powerful minister and a horrible husband/wife. SHALOMπ
