GOD’S IDEA OF EXPANSION IN MARRIAGE
Enlarging the place of our tents starts from the basic unit of society; Family. The condition of the community down to the nation at large can be traced back to the origin of individuals; Family.
Family chain starts from when a man and a woman decide to start a relationship, leading to marriage then to having a Family in the picture. It’s an added advantage when young minds learn from the lord and the purpose of marriage is not vague to them in their respective home. At times, most adults wish if they had a sure foundation in their nurturing, they won’t be ignorant of somethings at some point in life. Or maybe they won’t have done somethings they did back then which is now causing regret.
The comparison of Christ and the church to a man leaving his father and mother to be joined to his wife is symbolic. A great mystery indeed.
Marriage; coming together of a man and woman is honorable in all and when the purpose is not known, abuse is definitely inevitable. The institution called marriage in the kingdom is to an end; Kingdom Advancement. It entails fruitfulness, multiplication, subduing, replenishing and having dominion over the earth.
In other words, Seeds brought forth in kingdom families are designed to inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate places to be inhabited. If they are falling short of this, it means they are living outside their very own nature. It is our responsibility to spread out in our different sphere of influence and family in particular through our seeds.
