BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MARRIAGE Pt.3

July 27, 2019 · Lanre Oyeleke · 3 views

1Cor7:27 If you have a wife, do not seek to end the marriage. If you do not have a wife, do not seek to get married. 28 But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young

DIVORCE IS ANTI- GOD

One of the worst disaster the world is experiencing is not earthquake neither is it tsunami. It is the tsunami of divorce. Globally, it has assumed a new dimension. Some 2.2 million marriages and almost 1 million divorces took place in the EU in 2016 according to a report. We may not have the divorce statistics of Africa and other continents but we know it is happening around us. A woman once told me to pray God so that her divorce process in court would hasten. That's how bad it has become in today's world.

Some singles are afraid to marry because of what they've seen in the marriages of those they look up to. Moreso, some are entering into marriage with this idea of: 'If it doesn't work out, i'll walk out'. That's an anti-bible mentality. In plain and simple language, GOD HATES DIVORCE. Even Jesus made it clear to the Pharisees that divorce wasn't God's original plan from the beginning, Matthew19:4. The negative impact of divorce can be generational. I have seen this.

Divorce is anti-God's plan for marriage. It may be right in civil law but in God's law, it is totally unacceptable. The kind of trauma and pain children from divorced parents go through is such that may not heal in a life time. Some scholars opined that children from divorced homes are likely to divorce their spouse. Are you considering a divorce? Be patient with God to resolve all issues threatening the peace of your home. There is no problem without a solution.

Action point

Father, my home shall not break In Jesus name.
