This teaching is necessary for every unmarried person to have, listen to and apply. It is knowledge filled and would guide you in making the right decision in marriage. Marriage is good. Everything God created is good, it is just the principles surrounding them that have been abused Ecclesiastes 7:29. This was the opening remark of the teacher, Pastor Segun Abe.
To have the God-kind of marriage, there are principles that must be applied.
According to a research conducted here in Nigeria, by punch newspapers, about the causes of divorce in marriages, it was discovered that compatibility issues had the highest percentage, amidst money, sex and other issues.
According to Pastor Segun, this is because people don't really know themselves before plunging into marriage. So as they live together and things begin to evolve, they start having new interests, and then crisis ensures.
Who really then are you? Genesis 1: 26-31.
There is a created Adam (Spirit) and for the created Adam to function in the physical, there came a formed Adam (Body). There is a part of Adam that is not visible. So also is every human here on earth. There is something you are, that is not on your physical body but in your spirit.
The assignment of Adam, his purpose, was communicated by God to his created self (his Spirit). Your assignment is the Real You. Your assignment is the permanent you. Your body is just temporary. It is in your assignment you measure compatibility and who fits you.
You could gist together and play together because he/she fits your external, but you need to connect spiritually. Your spirit must resonate together.
Always live your purpose, its easier to know who doesn't fit. Proverbs 24:47 Before you start thinking about marriage, build your life in such a way that it looks like who you're supposed to be.
By the time you discover yourself and discover your purpose, you'll realize what you're crying and longing for is not what you need, who you pray for will change. John 4:5-13, 28-33.
