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.
The relationship between man and God is like a covenant of marriage between a husband and a wife. The bible said we are the bride of Christ and that our God is our husband. Husband is meant to love, respect and cherish his wife and the same thing goes to the wife. Love is meant to be two sided and not one sided and that is what makes it a covenant so there is something each parties need to do. God is always grieving because we refuse to understand the terms and conditions of His marriage covenant with us and that's why we continue to betray him every step of the way. Genesis 2:24 (Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh). We are part of Him because it is written concerning husband and wife that two shall become one flesh. The devil understands our relationship with God better than we do; that's why he wants so bad for us to betray our husband. But I know that someone will get a better understanding of this marriage today, in Jesus name. I felt emotional meditating on this particular topic like never before while writing; I wept because I could feel the love of God for man and the pain He has to go through whenever we betray Him in this relationship. Apostle Paul understood this marriage relationship very well; He said don't you know that God is living inside of you; when you defile His temple you chase Him out, you separate yourself from Him as soon as you go flirting with the world. 1 Corinthians 3:16 (Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are). The reason why your holiness is in contention is because the number one rules that guides this relationship between God and man is godliness; and since Satan know that God cannot dwell in a filthy house what he does, is to make sure that you are defiled. 1 Corinthians 6:15 (Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit). Have you ever been betrayed before by your spouse? God is ready to defend His wife; He is ready to cut off the head of any devil in order to defend His honour but He will not do that because of a cheating wife. 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). If you understand this marriage covenant very well you will defeat any devil that comes to defile you or to affect you because that is trespassing. You have to constantly display your marriage certificate and your wedding band. You are meant to cleave with your husband in good or in bad; that's what God explained to us in the above scripture. As soon as you give your life to Jesus you have been giving a new name, a new identity. Whatever name they used to call you before is no longer you and also you have a change of address; you are now living in the palace with the king of kings. You are now the new bride; you have become a royalty with a title attached to your name. A queen who allow a palace guard or a slave to defile her is no longer worthy to be called queen. The only way you can sustain the love of God in your life is to maintain your honour by keeping your bed undefiled; don't invite the devil into your matrimonial bed and then anger your husband which is God. Hebrews 13:4 (Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge). The Israelite could not be cursed by Balak and Balaam because the LORD did not see iniquity in them but the same Balaam tells Balak what to do to defiled them.; Balaam did that because he had collected gift from Balak and he had to pay one way or the other. Numbers 23:21 (He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought)! Revelation 2:14 (But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication). So, there is nothing Satan will not do in order to separate you from your husband; remember he separated Adam and Eve from God in the first marriage and he has not repented; he is still doing the same thing today even in this new marriage between us and God. The only way to preserve your marriage is to stick to the terms and condition of this covenant by studying and continuing study of the book of covenant which is the bible (Joshua 1:8). Friends, if you are not married to God you are outside the covenant which means you are not a king nor a queen and cannot lay hold on your inheritance; but i have a good news for you; God is still sending out proposal to those who are willing to be his wife and He promise to love and cherish such individual. So , hurry up and come into His palace by reciting these marital vows below and become His wife.
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,
