Forgiveness & Marriage—Disciple Makers Series #19ಮಾದರಿ

Seeing Marriage and Children as Jesus Does  

Thoughts on the message

Marriage is not for everyone. That is what Jesus is saying. The challenge of marriage is that it takes so much effort and work to do it the way God requires. Both husband and wife need this mentality so that it works.

Getting in the way of children coming to Jesus. Stopping anyone coming to Jesus. Be careful that we do not say or do anything that causes children to stay away from Jesus. Jesus rebuked His disciples and He rebukes His church today for the same things. Take some time before God and ask Him to reveal if we are doing anything that stops people from coming to Jesus.

Prayer

Father, today You remind me of the challenge of being Your disciple. I must have not just an understanding of You, but a commitment to have Your heart for people. How do I do it, Lord? How can I speak with integrity and speak with Your heart? Fill me with Your Spirit, Lord. The Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge and the Fear of the Lord. Most of all with the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord so that I never speak words that bring dishonor to You, Your name, Your bride or cause other people to do any of these. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
