The materialisation of marriage part 2

Posted on by asherdc89

It’s sad to see some people who call themselves Christian, describe marriage as if it’s something purely economical, when they’re supposed to know better. 

Saying, marriage is a business, a 50/50 partnership, the husband and wife are assets and love is transactional between the 2. Where money is at the centre of the relationship not God. 

This is of the devil. People who are selfishly ambitious for material wealth, believing they can buy love, acceptance and happiness think this way. Worshiping money as their god. 

We can’t buy love because God is love. Having said that, it’s therefore an impossibility to buy acceptance and happiness too. If we looked to the one who created the institution of marriage, we would know God is at the centre of it and love is freely given selflessly, which would naturally bring acceptance and happiness.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
