Becoming the Right Person for and in MarriageSample

DANGERS OF WRONG MARRIAGE

God has never been casual about marriage, because it is not just a social arrangement—it is a spiritual yoke. The Bible warns, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14 KJV). Ezra also declared that when Israel mingled with strange nations in marriage, they weakened their seed and lost strength to inherit the land (Ezra 9:12 KJV). A wrong marriage will do the same today: it will weaken your spiritual potency, block access to the good of the land, and compromise the inheritance of your children. Satan knows he may not stop your calling directly, but if he ties you to a wrong partner, he has effectively sabotaged your destiny.

There are three major dangers of a wrong marriage. First, it will weaken your spirit and calling. You cannot be in a wrong marriage and remain strong in the anointing; your spouse becomes either your greatest support or your heaviest chain. Second, it hinders your access to the good of the land. Instead of favour and ease, you will experience unnecessary battles and struggles because your spiritual agreement is broken. Third, it steals from your children. Many destinies are truncated in the next generation because the seed is polluted by wrong unions. That is why you see children of ministers who lose all appetite for God—it is often a fruit of misaligned marriages.

What then must you do? Guard your destiny jealously in the place of marriage. Don’t mingle light with darkness, even if culture, pressure, or emotions try to push you. Don’t marry simply because someone looks good or sounds religious—ask, “Is this person carrying the spirit that will strengthen or weaken my calling?” Remember, it is not only about avoiding unbelievers, but also about avoiding believers who are not your God-ordained partner. Destiny marriage is not built on convenience but covenant. If you are single, let God choose for you. If you are married already, accept that choice, then fight to preserve your union in prayer and obedience, aligning it to destiny, so that Satan finds no foothold.

THOUGHT TO PONDER
Am I discerning enough to see how marriage can strengthen or sabotage destiny? Am I willing to protect the future of my children by obeying God’s standard now?

PRAYER
Lord, preserve me from the trap of wrong marriage. Let my union strengthen my calling and preserve a holy seed for You.
