Remember your Pastor is able to speak as it were because he/she waits on God too. To wait and hear from God is not for professionals or special people as some called it. Perhaps, that is how you have also tagged your Pastor to be. It is the delight of your heavenly Father to speak with you too, friend don't get it twisted, Christ was sent for all. So, true love can only come from the Father of love who gave His Son Jesus Christ as an evidence of His eternal love for all.
I am not saying you should not quote your Pastor or follow his bidding or counsel, we must always do as a matter of fact, but the issue of you getting to know God yourself cannot be over emphasized. Many got married because “my pastor said” without taking out time to seek God on the matter of their marital life and when trouble arises they set out to blame the Pastor about it. . . saying alas, but my Pastor said it is God! The truth is that if you have being hearing from God right from time, your Pastor would only need to confirm what God has being speaking to you expressly. Wedding may just take a day or more but marriage always transcends beyond that. Hence, in marriage the God factor is needed as it is needful for an individual to take in oxygen. God forbid we leave HIM behind on any issue of our lives! It is only God that sustains marriage not your smartness.
Like to draw our attention to this also, why do folks pray and do extra pulling when it gets to
marriage matter? Don’t be shocked to hear this, if you don’t know how to hear
from God on every other issues of life, even on ordinary things like even the kind of job to do (i.e. daily leading of the Spirit), you could find
it difficult to hear from God when it is on the issue of marriage or relationship alike. Friends do
yourself good to learn the “Act the of Spirit” in other words, seek to know His dimensions and how He speaks to you, if
you know how He speaks to you on everyday life issues when the right time to
get a profound godly partner comes, you will get to know with ease by your
attitude of prayers and studying the Word.
The place of your Pastor is very important since he/she is a
spiritual over-sight in the Church of Christ concerning the saint. He can confirm
what God has shown you, encourage your faith to have great confident in the
will of God for your life and also help in the time of courtship to keep your
body pure in the face of the Holy Spirit. Thanks for reading WHAT YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU GET MARRIED OR SAY YES TO ANY RELATIONSHIP. Please feel free to share thanks.

Thanks dear friend, we must press in more to know the mind of God on very matter!
DeleteThis is great. There is nothing like we knowing by ourselves what God is saying especially on crucial issue like marriage. As many that are led by the spirit are the sons of God. As sons of God, we deserve to be led by His Spirit, not on marriage alone but also on what we may term normal issues of life. Shalom!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear brother!... we are of the Lord, His joint heir in the spiritual so we must get to know His mind even on all things!!
