WHAT ARE YOU MARRIED TO?

CL Blogs.
Marriage; of all the definitions of word-web dictionary, I will be going with this particular definition of it.
Marriage- A close and intimate union.  and Union defined; The state of making/ becoming one single unit, being joined, linked or united.

Isaiah 4:1- And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

Has this scripture struck anything in your heart dear friend?
With a heavy heart I came to the discovery of the fact that marriage is not only about the union between a man and a woman alone.
It can be a union between a man and anything. Anything I repeat!
And this brings me to the point where without choiceIi have to ask you this morning even my married friends; what are you married to?

 A. "And in that day, seven women shall take hold of one man"
What a ratio! I guess you are laughing out there, 7 things to 1 man, mathematicians I mean 7:1!
This is serious tho'. "And in that day... "; there is an appointed time for this to happen and the time is now. Now is the time you are getting married to that business, career, relationship, call and purpose, but this 7:1 thing should be confusing over there I guess?

Do not let your confusion give you directions.  

They will take hold of you because they know you do not belong to them.
All they are interested in is how they will take hold of you taking you away from your God given spouse- call, purpose, business, career, ministry etc..

I want you to always remember that not all that glitters is gold, 
be careful of what you are attracted to! 
Not all that comes your way is yours; some come to stress you an not to bless you.

Remember the scriptures told us that "he that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing,..." i.e they should not be taking hold of you, and you find a wife that is just 1 woman not 7 women.
Friends be careful what you are attracted to!
B. ".. saying, we will eat our bread, and wear our own our apparel"

Whatever doesn't stretch you cannot fetch you neither can it bless you. 

The way God ordered marriage; I Timothy 5:8 gives us a clue. "But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied faith, and is worse than an infidel"
You are to provide for what you married to, they are not to eat their own bread nor wear their own apparel.
Be careful of careers, relationships, purpose, business etc that don't grow you!

Unions are for fruits, but these ones are not interested in having fruits with you nor for you. They have their own bread and apparel to use; they are fulfilled! They are just there to waste your time and make you lose vision of the real thing.


 C. " only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach."
Lastly, they give you a task no man can do. To take away reproach- only God can do this!
Is what you are married to threatening your peace? Do you feel used?

They have food to eat and clothing to use, they have the basic needs of life and at the same time have a reproach and that's the reason they came to you at that ratio 7:1.

Be on the look for relationships, businesses, carers and callings that gives you task you cannot fulfill!

I am not saying you won't face challenges nor grow but these ones want you to take their reproaches away! Your best will not be enough. Even the grace upon you will not be effective- all they do to you is make you feel empty!

When that business, ministry, career, job and relationship is demanding more than your God given abilities, I mean your best, then its not yours to marry. They not your spouse!

They tried fiddling with your mind, " only let us be called by thy name..." They know you might just overlook that and say its just my name nothing more!

No wonder the scriptures said "wisdom is the principal thing".
 I want you to be aware that every name has its fame/ shame its how you use the name that matters. 
What you get married to either bring out the fame/ shame.  
Remember whatever/ whoever you marry represents you! 

I will leave you with this; "when a man marries the wrong woman, the devil leaves him alone because he's already finished." Look before you leap, watch what you are married to.

Good morning,

THE 7 DISPENSATIONS IN THE BIBLE

Dispensationalism is a method of interpreting history that divides God’s work and purposes toward mankind into different periods of time. Usually, there are seven dispensations identified, although some theologians believe there are nine. Others count as few as three or as many as thirty-seven dispensations.  In this article, we will limit ourselves to the seven basic dispensations found in scripture.

DID JOHN THE BAPTIST REALLY EAT INSECTS(LOCUST)?

His name was divinely given. It was to be “John” ( Luke 1:13 ), which derives from a Hebrew term signifying “Jehovah is gracious.” He was known familiarly as “ the Baptist ” (bearing no relation to the modern sect), which simply means “an immerser , one who administers the rite of immersion” ( Matthew. 3:1; 11:11; .. ). The Jewish historian Josephus even refers to John by this designation (Antiquities 18.5.2). The importance of John in the divine scheme of things probably is summed up best in the testimony of Jesus himself. “ Among them that are born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptist ” ( Matthew 11:11 ). Luke does say of John: “ And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel ” ( Luke 1:80 ).  This desert (or deserted) area “stretches from Jerusalem and Bethlehem eastward some 20 miles down to the Jordan River and th e Dead Sea.” It is “a barren region of rugged hills and valleys” (Earle, 30

DISCERNING THE MOVE OF GOD

Acts 2:17 [17]And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams God wants to move again and He needs a lot of vessels. God is not trying to repeat the same thing. He does not fail so He does not repeat. He only uses a familiar operation; a familiar move to men to progress the birth of The revival. Christianity(The Sphere of Religion) cannot export and empty itself into other spheres of influence, Men have to be exported into these spheres and the only way men will be exported is when we discern what God is trying to do and position ourselves for these moves. Our generation has to understand the synchronization between the Cyclical and the Acyclical move of God. We need to understand how these dimensions sync into each other to birth the revival.

THE SECRET PLACE

In the Old Testament,  the “Secret place” comes from the Hebrew root word “ Cether ”, which means to hide/be concealed. And really, no matter is hidden or concealed in a place or thing if it wasn’t the fragment of their make up. What then is the secret place? Psalm 139:15(NIV) – my frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
