The HONORABILITY Of Marriage. by johnwell(m): 4:37am On Jan 12, 2020
The HONORABILITY of marriage is solely dependent on the kinda partner you choose. Irrespective of your spirituality, irrespective of your background, irrespective of your personality, the only VISA to a honorable marriage is a HONORABLE PARTNER.

This isn't what you can correct through counseling, or prayers and fasting, no, a bad partner remains a bad partner. They can pray, they can sing, they can preach, they can speak in tongues, but that doesn't change who they are.

Just like a bad tire in your car (car spiritually represents destiny, ministry, marriage) deflated, void of air, you go nowhere until you replace it. You dare not try driving with a deflated tire, you loose speed and the comfort of your car, it demotes your car, it demotes your personality other road users sees you as a fool, it destroys your rim, at the end it's still useless, and you end up spending even more replacing it.

Be careful of how and where you choose, one of the worst places to choose a partner is in the church. In there we are all masquerades. Prostitutes are there, higher frequency of witches & wizards are there, murderers are there, fraudstars are there, occult are there, armed robbers are there, liars are there, we are all there masquerading, hiding our true identity.

An encounter with one of them terminates your destiny speedily, except you think and act fast. A partner void of honor will automatically convert your glory to shame.

A honorable marriage, home and life is far from you if your partner isn't honorable.

HAPPY SUNDAY!

I see what you are trying to say, but your thread comes across as a person who's lost all hope in regards to a challenging marriage, the church, and ultimately God.
This is just my opinion and I apologize if you are offended.
Some young folks may see this and be discouraged against marriage in general or their own challenging marriage.
It's good to give hope to what may appear as "hope-less" situations, when we profess the name of Jesus.

In regards to an "honourable" partner:

Psalm 37:4 (KJV)

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart

The scripture basically says that when Christ is the center of our attention and we are learning of Him, He then changes our desires.
We crave Him daily....we desire what HE wants for us.
That includes a spouse...the one that is best matched for us.
An honorable partner is a Godly partner...and the only one who can produce that is God.

If already married, and the two finally realize that they were not matched by God...but rather mated through their own lust, (hence the multiplicity of problems) then what next?
Prayer, fasting, and counseling, ARE absolutely very good ways to go...especially if the couple (or at least 1 of them) claims to profess Christianity.
The thing is: prayer should NEVER end for the person. Even if counseling fails...even if one isn't always able to fast.
Prayer and godly behavior on behalf of one spouse (as we are told in the scriptures--1Cor.7:10-16 KJV) may even change the behavior of the other spouse...to the point that a soul is saved for the Kingdom.
The two are married...and so havig taken that sacred vow, the Lord desires for the spouses to stay married (of course except for adultery...which even if that was committed and the two decide to forgive & stay married then that is acceptable as well).

You say the church is the "worst" place to meet a potential spouse?? Church is not the only place, but it is a very good place...
We are told in scripture to:

2 Corinthians 6:14-17 (KJV)

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.


Yes, the church has all types of people: un-believers, satanists, "witches", "wizards", unconverted, thieves, drunkards, liars, homosexuals/lesbians, pedophiles, occultists, yahoo boys etc.
You name it...it's there.
We are not to completely condemn the church because some wrong elements are there.
Even a large "mixed multitude" came out of Egypt with the Israelites as they had been freed from 400 years of slavery (Exodus 12:35-38 KJV). People who had "0" desire to serve the God of Moses, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Some that were there to be "busy-bodies", or benefit from the protection of the Israelites' God who had just sent miraculous plagues in Egypt. Some were curious and some were probably very sincere in wanting to know who this God was. But they were there...all mixed in.
So it is with the church of today.
It is a "hospital" of sorts..
However, the whole point of Christ' church is so that ALL people can be saved eternally. He came to this earth to "seek and save the lost."
To redeem us from eternal damnation, show us, sinners a better way...help us overcome sin.
That is where a personal relationship with Christ and not just weekly church attendance comes in.
Jesus says:

John 10:10-11 (KJV)

.. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.


2 Peter 3:9-11 (KJV)

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

God loves holy marriages.
Marriage is honorable...especially if God is the one who has specifically ordained two people to unite and ultimately glorify Him.
He stilll is in the business of leading, establishing, and even fixing marriages if we will let Him.

Sir my knees are on the ground. Have pity on me, have mercy, have compassion.

I have no where else to run to, or anybody else to call upon. If i had full-fledged parents, I would have called on them.

I have a school fees of N25,600 to pay and monday is the deadline. I am in 400 level studying pharmacy. Financial limitations has led me to repeat classes twice, as much as i don't want that again, i fear it may re-occur if God doesn't send a good Samaritan my way.

Please, if you can take the words of a stranger. Please believe me, someday i'll repay you the N25,600 in double folds.

Just find a place in your heart to believe me and assist me sir i beg you. This is my future and I'm 23years old.
