TOPIC - THREE INPUTS FOR A FRUITFUL MARRIAGE
READ: 1 PETER 3:1-7 (ANKJV)
1. Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,
2. when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.
2. when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.
3. Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—
4. rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
5. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,
6. as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
7. Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
THE MESSAGE:
To have a fruitful marriage, there must be of necessity be inputs from three persons.
● GOD - The most important input in marriage is God’s input. All other inputs derive their bearing from God. God has provided HIMSELF and HIS WORD for us in marriage: Himself as ever present Witness and HIS WORD as the operational manual in marriage.
●WOMAN - In verses 1-6 of the passage, the woman will need to be subject to her OWN husband, not to her boss, friends, parents or even Pastor but her OWN husband. A woman should constantly appeal to and charm her husband with the beauty of the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God a great price.
●MAN - The man is the head of the woman and must love her dearly. The woman is weaker but God has provided for the man the responsibility to deal with her with understanding. This is important in marriage because according to verse 7, his prayer may be hindered when he fails to dwell with his wife with understanding.
Brethren, to have a successful marriage, all we need to do is tap into God's provision for marriage; as His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.
PRAYER: Father, grant me a submissive heart and love for my spouse. Dear Jesus, please heal, restore and build our homes and bless our godly generation
