marriage
Marriage should be honored by all. That is what scripture says. For the past 2 years, God has been burning this message in my spirit the importantace of marriage and family and it is directly related to the growth of our churches and the return of Christ. This is especially vital and true of Asian churches - VN particulary due to cultural differences and generations of understanding and valuing marriage & family.
Marriage (relationships), leadership and discipleship is the heartbeat is my heartbeat. I am thrilled to hear of many confirmations left and right of the importance of teaching this to our people.
There is a new movie out, "Fireproof" - it's a good one.
The church is only as strong as the family. The enemy has been on a mission to destroy the family. If he can destroy and drive a wedge between the husband and wife, there is a natural breakdown within the children, then it affects every place and people they encounter....you can see the natural progression of destruction and breakdown of our communities, society, city, state, country and world.
The church needs to acknowledge that the husband & wife are one especially as this speaks to those in the ministry and leadership role. They are one. You cannot receive & acknowledge one and not the other. If that is the case, the flesh is "against" its' own flesh. How does that work? I am not talking about simply acknowledging the wife as the silent support behind the husband. Yes, while that is very true, though she does not "actively" do what the husband does in service, she actually does because that is her flesh. I really believe there needs to be a shift in our perspective. Our thoughts need to be realigned to the seriousness and the full implications of what this thought I am proposing measn for the growth, health and essentially, blessing & anointing from God.
I believe God is a God of order and there is a proper government of things. The husband & wife must be in agreement - partnership for the fullness and proper order of blessing to come about. It is so vital for our VN churches to understand this truth. If wives cannot submit underneath their husbands, how can they submit under God? How can the husband be the head of the house? There is protection and blessing when we live in the proper order that God has ordained.
Even after this weekend, this need to teach and inform our people of this was made even more important.
I would dare to say this. If things are not quite "happening" in your family or marriage as you would like, are you and your husband in agreement?
Let me stop before I get preaching. I have more to share but I am still working on the writing.
