Pastor faith Oyedepo series on right character for marriage

Pastor faith Oyedepo the Wife of Bishop David Oyedepo is Herr again with another marriage series, Bless you as you read.

Powerful Topic today: Right Character for Right Marriage [Part 3].

To you readers, There is dignity in marriage, but it takes the right character to attract it. Character commands unction, unction commands dignity. Character crisis is the reason for failure of most marriages.
Today, I will be sharing with you another aspect of

living that makes for a successful marital life–Companionship.
Companionship is the relationship between friends, who share similar tastes, interest and views. It is
impossible to amount to anything outside the company you keep. You cannot expect to live a better life than your companions, if they are truly
your friends. This explains why the Bible speaking in proverbs 13:20; He that walk with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
A friend is someone with whom you and your family relate intimately. He is someone you identify with, share common experience with and
bare your mind to. This simple definition of a friend shows that not everybody is a friend. So, you need
to always use the Word of God in selecting who should be your friend.
The one who keeps company with wise men is the one who will be wise, but the companions of fools will not only be foolish, but will ultimately be
destroyed. One thing some Christians fail to understand is that one cannot flow together with every believer, simply because the person calls
himself your family friend.
Who is your family friend? You cannot be a Christian and your family friend will be an unbeliever or a Muslim. What companionship are
you forming with an unbeliever? Anyone who is lacking in Christian character should never be your
family friend. You can see the Bible speaking in  2Thessalonians 3:6, it says: That ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walked disorderly.
So many call themselves family friends, but they have not disciplined themselves, to refrain from
certain habits. I believe that the choice of your family friend does not only affect what the future of your marital life will be, but it could also determine the success or failure of your marriage. Hence, your family’s vision, goal or target in life should
determine your choice of family friends.
As a believer who desires a right family, you must make up your mind to dissociate yourself from every friend that thinks or talks contrary to the Word of God. Have a good family friend and your marital life will be moulded. May God bring you in
contact with friends that will skyrocket you and your family to your place in destiny. May you never keep a company that will keep you away
from God.
The type of company you keep will either make you or break your marriage. It was a friend that made Ammon, David’s son to commit incest (2Samuel 13:1-4). He later paid for the wrong company he kept with his life.
Most couples, who find themselves in all forms of evil today, got into them via wrong company. One major reason why couples are enticed to join wrong company, is because they are not bold enough to identify with the Lord Jesus Christ. Let
people know your stand for God. Go to Church together, pray together, and engage in God’s programmes together. Your marriage shall not fail
in Jesus’ name!
In case you don’t know whom to pick as your family friend, ask God in prayer and He will give you direction. Disallow your spouse, children, etc.
to keep wrong company. This is because the effect of the company you keep will sooner or later affect your marriage and family. Your marriage and family will succeed in Jesus’ name.

Are you born-again? If you are not, you don’t have genuine access to operate the mind of Christ
that can help you select a good companion (1 Corinthians 2:16). However, God’s grace of
salvation is extending to you right now. If you desire to be born again, say this simple prayer in
faith:
“Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today as a sinner. Forgive me of my Sins. I believe You died
and rose on the third day for my sins. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”
If you prayed this simple prayer, you are now a child of God. He loves you and will never leave you. Read your Bible daily, obey God’s Word and
seek Christian fellowship (John14:21).

rest and peace are guaranteed you, in Jesus Name. Call or write, and share your testimonies with me through contact@ olorunlekea@gmail.com
