I have come to ask why marriages collapse or shipwreck? Why would a
wedlock turns a padlock? How come that what should be a paradise on
earth turns to an hell on earth? As light as these questions are,it's a
very sensitive one that's heart disturbing most especially seeing
christian homes on fire,boiling and tearing apart.When the centre could
not hold again in a family,things must
certainly fall apart.Many may jump into conclusion that,it's the devil
at work or the handiwork of some 'Iyas in the family house' as a result
of this the couple moves from one mountain to another,descend to the
deepest part of the earth seeking spiritual solution to the problems
rocking their marital home.
But the sincere question we ought to ask is whether the devil is the main actor in the scene or not?
As I browsed through the word of God,my eyes of understanding was
opened to gain a vivid knowledge of how we may be mistaken the devil for
this failure in the family.So,what is the outcome of this knowledge?
Firstly,I thank God that my eyes of understanding has been enlightened
{Eph 1:18} through his word because it's a living word that proffer
solutions to controversial and confusing aspect of life.All thanks to
Him.
Not to dilly dally,let's therefore look at a scripture passage and gain some altitude.
John 2:1,2 says that '..there was a marriage at cana of Galilee...' And
Jesus was called(invited),and his disciples to the marriage'
Jesus
was at the marriage venue not because he was hungry and want to 'chop'
the remnant,neither was He there to do 'sabojo' not at all.He was not
wandering about at the reception ground but He was invited,meaning that
He was given an invitation letter.That shows that Jesus was matured in
attending ceremonies,if he was not invited,he'll not go.
Note
that,the marriage was running legato,everybody was happy with the couple
because all is available,drinks,foods et al were all smilling on the
table not until verse 3 when scarcity set in.It says 'And when they
wanted wine..' That shows that at this stage everywhere is in commotion
because they're salivating already.Seeing this,the mother of Jesus
turned to Jesus for help..
Let's stop here to give a deeper explanation to this.
You'll discover that,at a start everything was going well with the
couple and people were praising and dancing with them,but all of a
sudden they became subjected to disgrace,ridicule and scarcity and they
must be thinking of the way out of the impasse.
Before this time,the
audience must have been giving them signals that things don dry oo.At
this stage,they are between the red sea and don't know how to go about
it.Thanks to the mother of Jesus who quickly discovered that Jesus was
on ground.
However,provided Jesus was not invited,it's undeniable
that the collapse of the marriage would be the talk of the town and a
marriage that's going well will just end or shipwreck in a twinkle of an
eyes.
Having
this understanding,my eyes were opened to see that many christian homes
are on fire because Jesus was not invited.They thought that all will be
smooth or may be their union will be challenges free and so withdraw
the invitation letter from Jesus.Note that,Jesus was not on the high
table but he was invited,we've rich and big men/women on the high table
but as rich as they were,they couldn't rescued the couple,that should
tell you that even the presence of important personals at your marriage
would not determine the real success of your marriage.Let president
Jonathan/Obama attend your marriage,if Jesus is not invited,your wedlock
will ultimately be padlocked.At the intervention of Jesus in vs 7 and 8
produces 162 gallons of entirely different wine for people.Meaning
that,the presence of Jesus in your marriage will help restore your joy
in multiple in the face of challenges and people would be perplexed at
the restoration of your marriage,the same way people tasted a new
wine.Jesus delivered their marriage from collapse because He was
invited.
To this end,would you invite Jesus to your marriage?
