Hi everyone,
Please find attached (bellow) our next book COMMUNICATION, SEX AND MONEY by
Edwin Louis Cole.
We concluded GOD IS A MATCHMAKER by Derek Prince last Saturday and
this is what we learn t...
From beginning of human history God established a principle: "Its not
good for man to be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him."
(Genesis 2:24) God Himself established marriage using the principles
below:
1.Marriage originated entirely with God. Adam had no part in it. It
was God who decided Adam needed a wife not Adam.
2. It was God who formed Eve for Adam. He alone knew the kind of mate
Adam needed.
3. It was God who presented Eve to Adam. Adam did not have to go in
search of her.
4. It was God who determined the way in which Adam and Eve were to
relate with each other. The end purpose was perfect unity. (Genesis
2:24)
God still uses this pattern today. We should not enter into marriage
because it is our decision but because it is God's. God has good plans
for us and those plans include our marriage as-well. It is God who
created us, He knew us even before we were formed in our mother's
womb. He alone knows who is best suited for us - the perfect match. In
2Corinthians 6:14-15 Paul warns us that it is wrong for Christians to
marry nu-believers. From the book we discovered that the gateway to
marriage is found in Romans 12:1-2 (please read it and meditate on it)
It is God who brings two people together, it is God who makes them
fall in love and it is God who joins them together in marriage for His
purpose. In God there is no "purposeless relationship" there is always
a reason, a purpose why God joins two people together in marriage
(like the personal testimony of Derek Prince in the book).
We came to the conclusion that searching, scheming, playing hard to
get etc is not biblical, it is not of God but its worldly character.
We should love God, offer our self to Him as a living sacrifice and
get involved in ministry. When we do this then along the way the Lord
Himself will bring our spouse to us 100% stress free.
Here is our next book and like the name suggests it gives biblical
solutions to the three major challenges in all relationships -
communication, sex and money.
Happy reading,
