Marriage vows

Today we are gathered here to witness the union of Christ and me. In the presence of the watching universe, we will now hear the vows.


Jesus: I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.

Me : Lord, I have not love you, I have been selfish all my life 

Jesus:  before I formed you in the womb, i knew you and I set you apart for myself 

Me: Lord, even now I don't know you, for I do always things that displease you 

Jesus:  this is love : not that we loved God ,but that He loved you and sent Son as an atoning sacrifice for your sins 

Me: oh Lord, I'm a great sinner, I'm unworthy of your love.

Jesus: while you were yet sinning, I died for you.

Me: Lord, my sins are red like scarlet, I am ashamed of my past

Jesus:  though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow ,though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

Me: Lord, I only come to you when I need stuff, I  am selfish 

Jesus: Ask and it shall be given, seek, and you shall find; knock and it shall opened to you 

Me: Oh Lord you love me. I have never experienced a greater love. Despite my past, despite my brokenness, my unfaithfulness for I have had many lovers, I have put other people first, I have put money first, I have everything else first and yet you still love me. Lord, I want to love you with all my heart, I want to be faithful to you for the rest of my days. I want to put you first, I want to separate from all other lovers and cleave to you until death do us apart. Lord I love you because you first love me and die for me. Lord this is my vow, help me to keep it, help me to be faithful

Jesus: my child I vow to love you forever.I vow to never leave you nor forsake you. I vow to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. I vow to be your provider, your sustainer. I vow to keep you from falling. And if you cheat on me, I vow to forgive you, I vow to be your advocate before the Father. I know you said in your vow until death to us apart, but I vow neither death, not principality can separate you from my love. I vow if you abide in my love you will never die. I vow to take you to my Father's house where you will abide with me forever.
I love you, I want to be yours and for you to be mines forever ...Jesus Christ your Savior


In the presence of the witnessing universe I am now married to Christ and I will now forsake all other lovers by His grace and might.


Romans 7:4 wherefore, my brethren, ye are also become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 

Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.


2 Corinthians 11:2 
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

The idolatry of marriage: a recipe for disaster

 People are suffering, loneliness is rampant in the land. Many people in the world look to marriage as a savior, an institution that will rescue them from their loneliness. They think finally i will have someone I can call mine, someone who will love me with all their hearts until death do us apart 🤗. But the increasing divorce rates tell a different story. A story of marriage being difficult, a story of many married people being miserable , lonely , bitter and see divorce as a viable option to escape the misery they find themselves in. A story of many preferring to live together instead of getting married.  Marriage has become a scary thing in the land. Marriage for many has become synonymous with losing half your wealth and your children. But why has marriage become so destructive to many ? Why has something as beautiful as marriage become such a terror to many 🤔? It is because marriage has become an idol to many. Marriage has become a god to many in the church and in the world. Sa

The difficulties of love

 Love is a beautiful thing. Love makes life worth living. Love is best thing in the universe because God is love 😍. We all want love, we all want to be loved and many of us want someone to love. Love is very precious indeed. We sing about love, we write about it and we make movies about it. And yet love is the most difficult thing to find in this earth. It is easier to find diamonds and gold than to find true love. Easier maybe to find the lost city of Atlantis than to find genuine love. Many people have simply given up on love. They see the idea of loving and having someone to love them as fables for unwise and inexperienced children. Love is rare indeed. Why is it so hard to love or find love 🤔? The easiest answer is because we are imperfect. Being imperfect means we are broken, unable to perform the function we were made to do. Come with me on a journey of the difficulties of love. Imagine you meet someone, a man, a woman, the " love of your life." The woman is beautiful

What do you bring to the table ?

 Man and woman are both made in the image of God.  Man and woman are both valuable and equal in worth but are not the same.I repeat, man and woman are not the same. There is an attempt in our culture to make man and woman the same, it's nothing but a Satanic assault to destroy the beauty of God's creation . Man and woman are different for a reason. Each reveal different qualities of the Godhead. When a man and woman come together in the way of God, real beauty will be revealed. Man and woman offer different things in a relationship. What do you bring to the table 🤔?  Is the question many are asking when it comes to choosing a spouse . According to the Bible the man is to provide for the woman and the woman is to be a help meet to the man. A help meet is a perfect match for someone. The woman is to match her husband,  completing him, making him stronger, being strong where he is weak . The man is supposed to provide financially, security,  stability. The man is to provid
