We looked at the first instance yesterday, We continue today.
Psalms 9:5 (MSG) You blow the whistle on godless nations; you throw dirty players out of the game, wipe their names right off the roster.
2. If a match is suspended or abandoned
A whistle is used when a match is suspended or abandoned.
Were you abandoned by a supposed lover?
Was the marriage plan suspended after you announced the date and the boo on Facebook?
Did you have to change “Engaged” to “It’s complicated?”
Have you had to change “Single” to “Engaged” and then back to ‘Single” and then “Engaged” over and over again?
I have good news for you!
God is about to blow the whistle on your behalf.
He or she might have abandoned you, but God has not rejected you!
That is all that matters!
If he leaves you, let him go! Maybe his name is Abed-ne-go!
If she leaves you, let her go! Maybe she is not qualified to handle the greatness of your future which she cannot see now!
Never beg a guy to stay with you who wants to go. Let him go. In his heart, he is gone. If you beg him to stay and he stays, he is staying to leave soonest, after enjoying more sexual escapades from you!
If he gets to marry you, you will need to keep begging him all through your life!
The rejection of man often becomes the direction of God!
Rise from the doldrums of that agony and move into the joy of the Lord that awaits you!
The wedding plan might have stopped, but don’t stop your life. God is the referee!
For married couples, do you feel abandoned by your spouse? Do you feel neglected? What could be their distractions? Work, friends, colleagues, immediate family? Whatever it is, God is blowing His whistle on all distractions in your marriage that are causing a sense of abandonment and neglect!
Your Spouse will focus on you and cherish you all over because God is blowing the whistle on all distractions in Jesus’ name!
Take a look at this scripture before we look at the different scenarios.
Psalms 9:5 (MSG) You blow the whistle on godless nations; you throw dirty players out of the game, wipe their names right off the roster.
God is blowing the whistle on every godless entity harassing your destiny!
God is throwing all dirty players away from your life.
God is wiping off names of deceivers, froward men, liars, strange women off the roster of your destiny!
No more distractions for you!
1. For a free kick or penalty kick
Every pretentious lover who is planning to commit fouls in your life, God is blowing the whistle on them.
No more will you be cheated on the field of play!
God is the referee!
No longer will you attract time wasters, destiny killers, distraction entities, and wicked men.
Your marital life will no longer be a field of play with countless fouls from energy-sapping players who have no intentions of walking down the aisle.
For married couples, God is blowing the whistle on every side chick, on every man or woman out there distracting your spouse, God is blowing the whistle on them!
God will referee your marriage and cause the winning goals to be on your side! You will no longer play against each other but work towards a common goal!
Marriage is a journey, and for Buddy and Sade, the road has been filled with unexpected twists. What seemed like an unbreakable love during courtship hit the harsh realities of married life, leaving them questioning if their love could endure.
Unmasking the Real You: The Impact of Marriage
Contrary to popular belief, marriage doesn’t change individuals; it reveals their true selves. Buddy and Sade, like many others, discovered that understanding each other’s needs is pivotal for a thriving relationship.
The Maturity of Meeting Needs
A key aspect often overlooked is recognizing and addressing the distinct needs of each partner. Maturity in a relationship comes from prioritizing your spouse’s needs over your own. This is true in both courtship and marriage.
Decoding the Greatest Needs
Understanding the unique needs of your partner is the cornerstone of a successful relationship. For women, time and attention top the list. Spending quality time and giving undivided attention convey genuine care and love.
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. (1 Peter 3:7 KJV)
Men, on the other hand, crave sex and respect. Delving into these fundamental needs can lead to a fulfilling relationship.
Navigating Needs in Courtship
Meeting Her Needs
For singles in courtship, proximity makes meeting a woman’s needs simpler. Regularly scheduling time together fosters a deeper connection. Long-distance relationships require consistent communication to bridge the gap.
The purpose of seeing each other is to understand and align your souls, fostering communication and future planning. Physical intimacy is reserved for marriage, and crossing that boundary during courtship can jeopardize the foundation of trust.
His Needs Matter Too
Single men, regardless of their beliefs, may feel the urge for physical intimacy. It’s a legitimate need, but one that should be reserved for marriage. Controlling desires and waiting ensures a foundation built on respect and obedience to one’s beliefs.
Sustaining Love in Marriage – Prioritizing Time and Attention
Married couples often face the challenge of balancing busy schedules. Neglecting the fundamental needs of time and attention can lead to emotional strain and financial consequences.
Understanding His Need for Intimacy
Sex is a valid need within marriage. Neglecting this aspect can lead to feelings of disrespect from the husband. Balancing the priorities of God, family, and career is crucial to maintaining a healthy marriage.
“Defraud ye not one another…when you deny each other, the Bible calls it fraud!” (1 Corinthians 7:5 KJV)
Sex should never be a tool for punishment or reward but rather a shared duty in the union.
In conclusion, understanding and fulfilling the needs of your partner are vital for a lasting and fulfilling relationship. May God’s peace prevail in every challenge or storm that may arise in your journey together.
Can violence come before a love adventure? Does it make sense to unleash pain on the one you truly love?
Why do victims of rape cleave to their abusers and vice versa?
Why do people go after a person who is not treating them well?
Several reasons, but let’s take a look at one this morning from this story
Attraction After Distraction?
One day Dinah, the daughter Leah had given Jacob, went to visit some of the women in that country. Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was chieftain there, saw her and raped her. Then he felt a strong attraction to Dinah, Jacob’s daughter, fell in love with her and wooed her. Gen 34:1-3 (MSG)
Dinah just went on a stroll to see some of her girlfriends in town and then Shechem, (the way the name sounds sef!) saw her, and then the next thing is rape!
After Oga has brutalized the young girl, he starts forming love, bringing flowers, writing poems, and getting into her DM!
Absolute nonsense!
The great question is how does a person “rape” a person he loves?
Well, there is an interplay of lust, deception, and wickedness that is at work here.
At the point of rape, he was not in love but in lust!
After the rape, there was an illegal cleaving of their souls which led to wooing her!
Attraction After Distraction?
Would this medicine after death be worth it? Never. She had been defiled first, and the cleaving of souls was only a result of soul tie or soul bonding which comes as a result of sexual interaction!
This is exactly why we warn young ones to stay away from pre-marital sex.
Just as Shechem got confused in his soul and went after the one she defiled, confusion comes when pre-marital sex is involved.
To the married, adultery brings the same consequences. It is the reason a man refuses to pay his children’s school fees but gives money to a side chick for her excesses.
The lesson? Singles, stay away from pre-marital sex, it brings confusion to your soul and lust begins to rule. Where lust rules, agony of heart follows! Couples, stay away from adultery because it brings troubles and havoc as stipulated in the scripture!
Good morning!
