YOUR MARRIAGE IS YOUR FIRST MINISTRY

I'll like to state that marriage is a ministry. It's something that is just sinking in for me.

 

With that perspective, I believe that some women's purpose is to be married; to support the man to be who God called him to be. And she's doing well that way. In my opinion, a woman like Sarah falls into that category. You can help me with other examples. The post already begins to address my point but doesn't really get there. Even married women who work need to realise that their marriage is their FIRST ministry.

 

This does not in any way mean that single ladies don't have ministries to fulfil. It just means that if you do get married, there is a ministry to be fulfilled. As a single lady, make your life count for something. According to 1 Corinthians 7:32

"There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband." (1 Corinthians 7:34).

I think if we reflect deeply on 1Corinthians 7:34, some of us will choose not to marry, lol.

My conclusion is this - single or married, we should see to it that we fulfil the ministry that we have RECEIVED of the Lord.

 

For those that choose to marry, I believe marriage should be considered our first ministry; every other thing we achieve should be in agreement with our spouses.  Wives require their husband's approval as well...
