Topic: Keep That Vow [Our Daily Manna ODM Monday, February 19th, 2018]
Basic Scripture: Malachi 2:10-17
I hear the sounds like the gushing of waterfalls: Oh! Marriage is tough! I just can’t keep that vow! Now read the poem below by Ukpon Ntinse. It’s titled; THE PROMISE:
You loved me because I am young, elegant and strong.
You cherished my youth, which blossom like a flowering plant.
But time will come when the teeth, that once where white.
Will be encrusted with green and yellow muck,
And will drop off leaving the mouth wholly putrid with smell.
But don’t forget, you once kissed those lips.
Time will come when radiance on my face will fade away and the putrescence (smell) of aged stinks.
REMEMBER YOUR PROMISES!
Amazing lines! Indeed, frustration in old age is evitable, if marital love is based on beauty (the physical) or favour (riches) as the set fragrance of youthfulness and money fades. Real men and women stay faithful (today’s scripture VS 15). They don’t have time looking for other partners because they are too busy looking for new2 ways to love their own. A strong marriage isn’t magically created. When you say, I DO, it is built on a lifetime of I Dos such as: I DO love you!
I DO cherish you! I DO choose you above others! IN 2018, never let sun go down on your anger! Forget the past and begin again! A happy marriage looks like the future and not the past! Men must catch this: A woman wants a man who protects her like a daughter, love her like a wife and respect her like his mother. Forgive your partner in advance because offences will surely come.
Marriage is not 50-50. Divorce is 50-50! Marriage has to be 100-100. It is giving everything you have got. If you are not married think of tomorrow and let the above poem and God’s word teach you a great lesson today as you pray and wait on the Lord for a life partner. There shall be no marital mistakes! Be at the OGODU MANNA MOUNTAIN this weekend, February 25th, 8am for the ANNOINTING SERVICE: WEDDING GOWN ROBBERS MUST DIE! Come with point of contacts, names of family members and marital prayer points. This year is your year! Amen!
