Topic: THE PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE – Part 2


MEMORIZE: “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4.


SCRIPTURE READING: Hebrews 13:4-6.


EXPOSITION:

Today, we are going to look at the second point of the divine purpose of marriage which is sexual satisfaction within one’s marital vow. The word of God says “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4. God who created us with desire for canal knowledge has given us way of satisfaction. He would have given Adam many wives if satisfaction is in many wives but He gave him only one. Even Solomon who has multiple wives later confess that “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 1:2; 12:8. “Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” Ecclesiastes 2:17.


Therefore, the word of God ordered us to have satisfaction in whoever He has given to us as husband or wife. Solomon in his wise word wrote by divine inspiration, “Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.” Proverbs 5:15. Whatever is admiring in others outside can be developed in your own spouse and you shall find satisfaction in him/her. On the other hand, we must stop comparing our own spouse with others. We are uniquely different from one another. What is seeing in others may not be in you, but there are several other things that make you unique that are not found in others. Celebrate what you have before you loss it.


Prayer Points: 

1. Lord, help me to always find joy and fulfillment in my spouse in Jesus name.

2. Lord, as many couples that are facing hell in their home, help them to overcome it now in Jesus name.
