DIVORCE – A FUNERAL THAT NEVER ENDS
God’s word says that He hates divorce.
“For the Lord God of Israel says that he hates divorce, for it covers one’s garment with violence…” Mal.2:16
Divorce breaks the sacred vows and commitment between two people and God.
Two people are madly in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together.
They purchase new furniture for their place and make it comfortable.
Then a few years later they hate each other and want to destroy each other.
They start ruining their furniture and breaking kitchenware along with any equipment.
What happened?
In verse 16 we see the answer to that question.
A spirit of violence enters into the union of marriage.
I have seen this happen over and over again.
Divorce is a funeral that never ends.
Divorce births a spirit of violence.
You can’t believe it is the same couple that was so in love.
Nothing justifies violence towards your spouse.
In Mal.2:11 a marriage is referred to as a “Holy Institution”.
Remember, anything “Holy” means that it is “set apart.”
Anything “set apart” will be attacked by the enemy.
The enemy does not want the kingdom of God expanded or blessed.
Marriage is referred to as an “divine” establishment.
In verse 15 we see why the enemy doesn’t want our marriages united.
But why?
“But did He not make them one? Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks Godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit…”
That is the answer.
Why did God create marriage? BINGO!!
He wants godly offspring!
God desires that we have children, raise them godly, and multiply the world.
When we divorce, we destroy each other, our children and our loved ones.
Malachi 2:15 says to take heed to your spirit.
In other wards, pay attention to your “stinking attitude.”
Maybe you don’t care about your marriage but God does.
He has an investment in it.
Start protecting God’s investment today.
He said to be fruitful and multiply.
“TAKE HEED…”
NOTE: Daily there is a new post to make your marriage a success.
LOVE YOUR SPOUSE 
This blog post means a lot to me,my husband & I both come from divorced parents it’s awful growing up with parents who hate each other & even worse when dad leaves.
When my husband & I got married I wasn’t saved but thank you Lord for my Salvation,New Harvest Christian Fellowship,Norwalk My Pastors & their wives & Celebrate Recovery and keeping the Holy Spirit & prayer in the center of my marriage my hubby & I will be celebrating 5 yrs in February.
5 years is a big deal to us because people said we wouldn’t even last 1 year……
Moral of my story keep God 1st in your marriage without the Lord in my marriage George & I wouldn’t be.Also there’s power in a praying wife 🙂
I mean seriously what couple who meets on a blind date gets married 2 months later? It’s only God! Thank you Jesus
Love you Sis Nancy
