Jesus in the Journey of Marriage.



Marriage is a journey, it is not a 100 metres race dash. The journey is so long that our provision and preparation will get exhausted while embarking on the marital journey
The story of the marriage at Cana of Galilee. Show us that the wine for the marriage feast finishes. As marriage couples, we should realize that our “our wine” can get exhausted

Joh 2:1  And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
Joh 2:2  And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Joh 2:3  And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

Our patience can get exhausted
Our finances can go bankrupt
Our love can go down

At such time, we need Jesus, We need Him to give us a new wine, even much more better than we had before.
Jesus gives greater love than we had when we started out in our marriage. Jesus will divinely supply our finances

Joh 2:9  When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
Joh 2:10  And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

We need to invite Him into our marriage so that Jesus will give He can help us in our marriages, giving us better wine

Miraculous provision in Marriages



Marriage is a wholesome institution in the heart of God. God has adequate provision to cater for the needs that arises in Marriage.
Adam and Eve were placed were placed in the Garden of Eden, where every of their needs were met.

Gen 2:8  And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Gen 2:15  And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Gen 2:16  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

Though Adam was mention in the verse above, Lord created a woman called Eve whom  the Lord brought to Adam in the Garden. So both of them were in the Garden

Gen 3:2  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

The Lord saw to it that the need of Adam and Eve were met in the Garden
The question that comes to mind is Are you divinely placed in the Garden by God himself? To secure divine provision, divine placement cannot be ignored.
Remember, the story of Elijah He was told by God to go brook Cherith for divine provision to be given to Him

1Ki 17:1  And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
1Ki 17:2  And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
1Ki 17:3  Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
1Ki 17:4  And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
1Ki 17:5  So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
1Ki 17:6  And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

After sometime, the Lord told Elijah to move to another place, to a widow so that Elijah can enjoy division provision.
So it important that you seek God for divine direction to know where your own Garden will be . The type of job you should do, the kind of investment you can go into, the place where you should reside. Once the Lord gave you the direction, and you obey, then you can be sure there will be divine provision
