LESSON OUTLINE

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD FIRST
A. Marriage is a creation of God. It is what started from him (Genesis 2:18). Hence,
i. God will only guide his own (Jeremiah 10:23).
ii. He will not play a guessing game with his people (1Corinthians 14:33).
iii. He wants us to know and do is real and is actively involved in revealing it.
B. Therefore, before seeking God’s will for marriage, develop a relationship with him. (psalm 119:130; psalm 119:105). You must:
i. Not live your life in fear but in fellowship with God (2Timothy 1:7).
ii. Develop your god-given gift and master our God games with or guide your steps (psalm 85:8; psalm 37:23).
iii. Discover your purpose through a relationship with Jesus Christ. (John 18:37).This will reduce stress give your life meaning and prepare you for insanity (2Peter 1:3-4).
iv. Be found working in his will (vineyard) like Adam and have a source of income (Genesis 15:18) because marriage is not for lazy people.
CLASS ACTIVITY 1
Why is it important to have a cordial relationship with God before marriage?
PRE-MARITAL COUNSEL
God does not want his children to be joined with unbelievers (2Corinthians 6:14-16; 1 Corinthians 6:15-17). How then do we recognise God’s will in marriage?
- Through the word of god (Proverbs 3:5-7). God has placed his word in our hand so we we could have a more objective set of guidelines to follow than dreams, feeling and impulses. Despite your dreams conviction, pray to have spiritual backing (Proverbs 18:22; Genesis 2:22; Proverbs 19:14).
-
God will work in you and do is we’ll even use circumstances and situations to perfect his will for your life (Romans 8:28; philippian 2:12-13). You must, therefore, remain sensitive; paying attention to those he opens and close to direct your paths.
-
Through the council of elders or spiritual heads in the church psalm 1:1; Proverbs 19:21; Proverbs 11:14: Proverbs 15:22; acts 1:24; Titus 2:3-5). Do not let passion for sex, peer/parental pressure, age, poverty etc, influence your instant decision. At such sensitive moment, do not despise godly counsel from spiritual heads (Proverbs 14:29b; Isaiah 52:12).
-
The environment’s you are and the friends you keep may also influence your choice. Therefore, keep company e with only believers of like passion (1Corinthians 15:33).
-
Pray fervently. You need to keep the channel of communication with God open, especially by praying without ceasing. This will key you to the mind of God concerning who and when to marry (1Corinthians 29:11).
CLASS ACTIVITY 2
Class should discuss the benefits of a godly marriage.
SUMMARY
God is still in the business of leading His people (Psalm 23:2). Knowing the will of God for our lives keeps us safe from future troubles. He does not want His children to be joined with unbelievers
