Kingdom Citizenship Laws of Marriage
💕Choosing a life partner cannot just be taken without careful and prayerful consideration.
💕God does not command us anywhere in scripture to be married.
💕 You don't have to be married to be happy.
💕God never chooses your mate because he is too smart to choose your mate for you. God gives you the complete responsibility to choose your mate so you don't blame him if it doesn't work out.
💕He gives you his word, parents pastors for counsels, his anointing to discern spirits, holy spirit to guide you.
💕Love is not the foundation for marriage.
💕Love does not make marriage work.
💕Don't get married because of feelings i.e because you love someone.
💕You can love something but not understand it.
💕Successful marriage is as a result of application of knowledge not the expression of love (Proverbs 4:7)
💕Ignorance is generational. What you don't know is transferred to your kids (e.g inability to stay married).
💕Learn for the sake of your unborn children (read a book, go to a seminar).
💕The most misunderstood element of relationships is love.
Types of Love
1.) Philia - Brotherly love
2.) Eros - Sexual love
3.) Storge - Friendship love
4.) Agape - divine God-like love (the kind that forgives someone that commits adultery).
💕Only agape love makes permanent relationships possible.
💕Love is not emotions because emotions are actually chemicals which change every 5 seconds in your body (i.e. they change constantly).
💕Don't confuse emotions/adrenalin with love as you can have an adrenalin rush on sighting/interacting with multiple women/men.
💕Love is a choice.
💕Love is the response to understanding the value of another thing.
💕Value is measured by what you are willing to spend for something.
💕The more you pay for something, the more value you placed on that thing.
💕A person's love for you is measured by what they are willing to give up for you (e.g. all the men/women that also want them).
What did the person give up for you?
💕Marriage does not bring two families together; it creates a third one.
💕Divorce is caused by interference when in-laws become outlaws.
💕No one should drop in on you if you are married including your mother or father. They need permission.
💕Who you marry is not always liked by in-laws.
💕Always remember that it is your choice (who to marry).
💕Parents need to stay out of their children's marriage-business unless called upon.
💕Love is a force generated by a decision; It has no feelings.
💕If God decided to deal with you based on how you treated him you'd be in trouble.
💕You can decide to love your enemy.
💕The person you marry could/will be your enemy twice a week/day.
💕Love is a debt you owe (Romans 13:8).
💕Love is a law and laws have no feelings.
Sometimes you feel like running a red light because you are late but if you do it's wrong.
💕Love chastens so if you love the person and they did wrong; you discipline them.
John 13:34
💕Love is not a gift but a fruit of the spirit.
💕Having the holy spirit is not equal to having knowledge. You can have a complete tool set but be unable to fix your car.
💕Everyone getting a divorce still loved the person but they just couldn't live together as there was so much misunderstanding on love.
💕Love is a decision to commit to meet another person's needs for life without expectation.
💕Love is therefore caring for a person. Caring is defined as anticipating a person's needs before they make a demand and meet them 'right now'.
💕When you care about someone you study/anticipate what they need tomorrow and give it to them today.
💕You aren't ready to marry/care for someone else if you don't have adequate financial means to meet their needs (In other words get to know if you can handle the person's financial demands and if they are flexible and ensure you have a means of income).
💕True love has no reason.
💕If you can tell a person why you love them then it's not true love as, there is no reason God loves us that is listed in the bible.
💕The next time someone says they love you ask why as; it will be the reason for destruction of the union.
💕This is because where there's a reason there's a condition.
💕Wherever there's a condition it becomes an expectation. The expectation will guarantee disappointment because nothing in life remains the same.
💕Expectations & disappointments will lead to a division in the relationship and the division leads to divorce.
💕Division = A change to two different visions in a relationship which leads to an end in the relationship.
💕Divorce leads to death.
💕Something dies and it all starts with having a reason for loving someone.
💕God only says I so love you not why (John 3:16).
💕When you expect nothing, you are prepared to do things such as cooking, cleaning etc. yourself and will be grateful if it's done for you by someone else.
The death of a marriage goes deeper...
💕It creates dysfunctional children & destroys society. Social decay results in community destruction (by breeding criminals, prostitutes etc.).
💕Your relationship is personal but not private, it affects all of us (the community).
Closing scripture: Ecclesiastes 5 "when you make a vow to God do not delay to fulfil it..."
Verse 5: It is better not to vow than make a vow and not fulfil it. Do not let your vow lead you into sin.
💕You never make vows to people; you make promises to them.
💕You never break a vow, because doing so attracts judgement.
💕When divorced & wondering why business etc. ain't working...this could be the reason (broken vow).
💕Promises are made to humans but vows are made to God.
