marriage is a 2 0 2 5
good thing Proverbs 18:22 (NKJV) - He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from the Lord.
God bless you Members and Partners! I am so excited to be in the month of February. The fact that we are still alive is another testimony of God’s keeping power in our lives. I can already tell that 2025 is going to move fast as in previous years, but it will be a tremendous year.
In the month of February the world celebrates what is widely known as “Valentine’s Day”. Like most holidays given to us from the world, Valentine's Day is not a “Biblical holiday.” However, it does give Christian married couples the opportunity to make a special time for acknowledging their love for one another. I’m excited about the fact that God invented marriage long before there was a Valentine’s Day or any other man-made holiday.
As it is indicated in our theme verse, God describes finding a wife as a good thing. If finding a wife is a good thing, this means that marriage is a “great thing.” According to scripture, a man who finds a wife not only finds a good thing, he also obtains favor. I believe that one of the most notable places of ruin in our culture today is marriage. Satan has sold the average heterosexual couple on the idea that marriage is a “bad thing” which is in sharp contrast to God’s plan for mankind. God always had it in mind that marriage is a “good thing.” 4 | KINGDOM GAZETTE FEBRUARY 2025
The word good in the Hebrew
is “tab”: this word means well pleasing or beautiful. When God made marriage, He made it to please Him and be a beautiful trusting unit.
When a man or woman comes together in their God ordained relationship, they are to God a “beautiful, pleasing unit” in the earth realm. Marriage is good, marriage is a blessing. In this time of restoration we are noticing a great revival of sorts in the earth realm. One of those revivals is that of “marriage carried out God’s way.” The marriage unit carries what we commonly call “The Blessing.” The Blessing is God’s endowment on something to prosper.
The most obvious scripture to
back up marriage carrying out the blessing is found in Genesis 1:28. See the verse below: Genesis 1:27-28 (NKJV)
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He 28 created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
When God told Adam and Eve
to be fruitful and multiply, it included having children and yet it is not limited to having children. Once Christians marry, their ability to produce fruit of success goes up exponentially from where they were as singles.
Fruitfulness is most seen in “teamwork.” Married couples have a weapon of mass destruction at their fingertips,
it's called “agreement” and this is why Satan fights married couples so much. Satan desires to keep married people in constant strife so that they stay out of agreement. He knows that once they start agreeing they will be fruitful and multiply and that’s scary to the devil.
This is why Christian married couples should do everything within their power to agree. It starts with agreeing with God and then every wife should agree with their “godly husband.” Of course, you don’t agree with a man that is perverted, but when your husband is doing his best to obey the Lord and follow the Word of God, you should both submit to and agree with him. Don’t let the devil cause marriages to be shortcircuited because of constant disagreement. Remember, Satan is afraid of a Christian couple that simply agrees.
