THE MARITAL VOW BETWEEN GOD AND MAN

 Isaiah 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Covenant is a vow to be responsible; it is a declaration to be responsible, that is you taking an oath to be a responsible child of God. New birth marks an entrance into a covenant with God; it is the initiation into the covenant; you are now one with God and have entered into a marital relationship with Him; you have taken an oath by praying the salvation prayer and have agreed to marry Him and stay with Him till eternity. So, the salvation prayer is the marital vow between God and man; when you make that confession that you believe Jesus was sent by God and died for your sin and that you accept him to be your Lord and saviour; that is an oath statement and has a binding power.  God said it is through that confession that our marriage with Him can be established; which means without that confession there will be no relationship between us and God. Romans 10:9 (That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation). God has also made a vow to be committed to this relationship, to protect, to lead and to guide and cherish and to love you forever. Hebrews 13:5 (Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee). The scripture below is God´s marital vow to man and that is what new birth is all about; it is the letter of invitation to enter into a loving and intimate relationship with God. Mark 16:15 (And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen). Our God knows how to woo women, that is why we are called wo man; just like a young man trying to woo a lady to date him; every woman wants to be wooed, they want someone that will profess his love to them and God knows it too. He was saying to the disciple to go and tell the people of the world that He is in love with them and this is what He has to offer if they will agree to marry Him. Isaiah 43:1 (But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him). He said that He has everything that the man lacks and those things that will give them peace and joy. He says that He is our better half and we are His missing rib and without Him we cannot stand on our own (John 15:5). We are nothing without him. The love was so strong and anytime you are on the field winning soul for God you are actually looking for His missing rib. Jesus; why am I weeping writing this message; this topic is so emotional; I can feel His love all over me and I know someone's life is being transformed right now.  Just like when a woman is married, she takes up the name of her husband , the same applied to our marriage to God; He gives us His name  and everything bow to the name of Jesus. Whatever that cannot resist that name will not resist you and your breakthrough. You are no longer an ordinary person because there is a change of name and a change of status;  you are no longer single; you are now one with the king of glory; so every close gate is now lifting up their head for you to enter (Psalm 24:7-10). It is a wonderful thing to be married to God; so why wait; hurry up and accept His marriage proposal today by reciting this  marital vow below and begin to enjoy the fullness of God. 1 John 4:15 (Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him).

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

NENE ISAH,
