Countless Christians/people have justified the ground to divorce their wives/husbands on some excuses such as unfaithfulness,lack of exposure etc which are contradictory to the word of God.
1st Corinthians 7:10 says" To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband"NIV. Hence, it is essential for a man to put in 90% into his matrimonial home inorder to make his marriage work, and never divorce his wife.
A believer must have a deep knowledge of the fact that a choice of partner will have much impact in their marriages,ministries,heavenly race etc hence,it is not wise for a priest/child of God to marry a woman/man that is not of like minded with him/her, a preist should marry a priest but not unbeliever.
Never divorce your wife except on the grounds of what Apostle Paul said in 1st Corinthians 7:15 i.e. "But if the unbeleiver leaves,let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances:God has called us to live in peace". Here, the only ground to divorce is when the wife/husband is going against the will of God over his/her partner ,for instance, if a woman married as an unbeliever and she and her husband are both unbelievers but later on she gave her life to Christ and made her intention known to her husband that she is now a child of God but her husband refused and wanted her to go into occultic societies or things that are against the will of God then such a sister/woman can divorce. This is also applicable to a man as well but apart from this, a man/woman cannot divorce.
Some people cited Adultery as an excuses-John 8:1-11 etc as a yardstick for divorce but forgetting that a woman/man under adultery needs deliverance through the word of God that can instal the fear of God in her and sets her free from demonic oppressions that leads her/him into such an act.
Beloved, never thinks that marrying in Church/God fearing person will make your home/partner to be the best, and forgetting the purpose of devil i.e. to cause any believer to fall,mis the mark,steal,kill,and destroy-John 10:10.
When a man falls into sin and sees no grace to rise again then he keeps falling more and more into sin. Such a man will graduate from adultery to beating his wife, child molesting etc, likewise men should know that women are the easiest to fall because they are easily attracted by what they hear.
Brethren, we need to be careful of how to live our lives and never be ignorance of the devices of devil-2nd Corinthians 2:11.
As you worship God in your various denominations, please commit your homes into God's hand for He is able to keep to end whatever we commit into His hand-2nd Timothy 1:12.
Beloved in our next post we shall be considering who needs deliverance.
Have a glorious service
