When Two Hearts becOme One 
28 May 2022

Marriage is God’s idea. Purposes is found in His Word. 

If I obey His word, Lord release the anointing and empowerment and I will receive blessings from God.

 

God’s grace is fresh everyday.

 

The righteousness of faith speaks. I’m righteousness of God in Christ

 

Psalm 103:1

"Blessed the Lord, O my soul"

All within me

I holy within me

 

Marriage is God’s idea

Genesis 2:21-24
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

23 And Adam said:“This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall 

God needs man appreciate the woman.

 

Woman God made is helper

In Hebrew is helper:

Save or rescue the other one in strength and power

 

Woman have great calling

 

Sooner I come in place, the greater I am in.

 

Helper to bring the best out of the man, speaks of His life and _

To save and inspire the man who God have place into my life

 

Man,Live with understanding 

Treat woman with honor and respect. 

Join heir together with the grace of life that God have call us.

We will fulfill the purposes God have for marriagement

 

1 Peter 3:7

"Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered."

 

Proverbs 14:1

"Wise woman build a house"

 

Woman have powerful ministry

We need grace of God, always feed on God’s word.

 

No competition no comparison 

 

Amos 3:3

"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"

What I believe in, what I value

Share the same faith( so important coz produces power and when pray together having the same faith)

 

How God have taken from man by His side

God did not made man some out of his head so that woman have to dominant him.

 

God created woman from man by his side, Side by side 

 

Adam deep sleep (like dead) and God created Eve.

 

Matthew 19:5-6

5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 

6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” No longer depend parent for leadership. Wife more impt to you right now. 

Take out the leadership, God will release the grace and power upon you.

 

Marriage is an expression between church and Jesus

 

The relationship of Christ and the church

Ephesians 5:29-33

29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord doesthe church. 

30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 

31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 

32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 

33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Ephesians 5:29-33 AMP

29 For no one ever hated his own body, but [instead] he nourishes and protects and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 

30 because we are members (parts) of His body. 

31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined [and be faithfully devoted] to his wife, and the two shall become [a]one flesh. 

32 This mystery [of two becoming one] is great; but I am speaking with reference to [the relationship of] Christ and the church. 

33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear].

Man love his wife like his very own self. 

Wife loves her husband with respect and delight 

 

Impart Vision from word of God

 

Impt: don’t lose sight of the great picture

 

Bible: Join heir in Christ,

 

God opens door of Favor.

 

Choose to agree to disagree, make sure the spirit is right.

Enemy don’t wan me to be power, strike and disharmony. Catch this vision, when I’m powerful I will produce powerful children.

Recognise the Power of Oneness in Marriage

Deuteronomy 32:30a

"How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight,"

Matthew 18:19

"“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven."

"Deep and strong agreement produces powerful and synergistic relationships" Pastor Joseph Prince, Give me This Mountain

Marriage is more than companionship 

The value of friendship

Ecclesiastes 4:19-22 NLT

9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 

10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 

12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Picture of Jesus in my relationship 

 

My security and happiness is found in Jesus and Him alone. 

Your Identity and Security are found in Christ alone

> You are Complete, Whole and Loved

Definition of Yachiyd

One and Only, Unique, Beloved

Colossians 2:10 

"and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power."

Always seeking for value, 

Pride a form of insecurity 

 

No longer living for myself

 

Willing to apologise, apologies first doesn’t mean I’m weak, I removed the sting of hurt. 

 

Psalm 23:1

"The Lord is my shepherd, I will not be in want."

Find the security in Jesus, He loves me.
