FUNDAMENTAL LESSON NUMBER ONE!!

Message Title: IF THESE THINGS BE IN YOU

In this powerful message, Pastor Chris shares fundamental truths from the Word about marriage for everyone who desires true fulfillment. God has given us very clear and unambiguous definitions in the Word and Rev. Chris brings them to light in this teaching. If anyone you love is about to get married but has not listened to this message, plead with them to suspend the wedding preparations and listen to this message; you would have saved them a lot of future trouble. Below are a few quotes and nuggets, but you sure know you need to order for the full teaching at Christ Embassy Online Store.

Q1: “’Husband’ does not mean the male partner in a marriage. ‘Husband’ means ‘master’! Ignorance of this is the reason for a lot of problems Christians are having in their marriage…”

Q2: “Marriage in Christianity for most people is just a flop. Why? Because they don’t agree with God’s definitions. They have theirs. Many Christian wives erroneously believe they are equal partners with their husbands…”

Q3: “If most women had their father bold enough to talk to them, they’d be very successful in their marriage and they’d be very happy people. Most women have never been taught by their fathers. That’s their biggest problem-they don’t know who a man is. They think he’s another woman…”

Q4: “In a marriage, you have the man, who is the head of that union, and because he is the head of that union, it is important (for his wife) to understand him…until you know who you have married…it’s like working for somebody or serving somebody and not knowing what he wants…When you say that you are marrying a man, you are coming under his authority. When you decide not to subject yourself to that authority, you are a rebel and God’s not gonna accept what you are doing. The Bible says the man is the head of the woman…You’re not authority sharers even though you’re both heirs to the Kingdom of God, because there, there’s neither male nor female, but we’re functioning here. That’s why you were given the body of a woman and he the body of a male…”

Q5: “Before the woman was formed, Adam was not lonely; he was ‘alone’ and there’s a big difference…”

Q6: “You don’t need a marriage seminar; you need a Word seminar.”

Q7: “If you’d just listen to the Word of God, you won’t have all this fighting in your marriage.”

Q8: “No husband wants another mother; he’s had one all his life. He doesn’t want an older sister; he probably had one. Your secret is in obedience, in listening to your husband, in doing those things that please him. When you don’t do those things that please your husband, you take the role of a mother or an older sister. What happens automatically is he starts seeing you differently. The reaction he has for those that try to tell him what to do will be the reaction he’ll have towards you…”

Q9: “A man loves the one he serves and the one that serves him. He fights the one that is at the same level with him.”

Q10: “Don’t make your life hard. To be happy in your marriage and in your home is the easiest thing in the world. Just take your role. Take your place. That place that God gave you is a beautiful place, a place of peace, love, excellence. When you come out of it, you’d find it’s not a husband you have; you call him a husband but he’s not…”

Q11: “Learn to listen to your husband. Learn it. Practise it. Tell yourself you’re going to do it. That is where your beauty is. Once you stop listening all your beauty evaporates. It’s something you probably don’t know. Beauty is in obedience. That’s where the glory is. Once you’re not obedient, once you’re harsh and talk anyhow to your husband, your beauty evaporates; he can’t see it anymore…”

Q12: “You can have a better life. Why should a marriage become a war zone? You can have a better life.”

PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome says, “Marriage in Christianity for most people is just a flop. Why? Because they don’t agree with God’s definitions. They have theirs.”

Most Christians all over the world have a strong desire to be successful in their relationships and so they listen to whoever will teach and counsel them on relationships. As a result, many sense knowledge people have arisen to teach their own ideas rather than the Word of God. We hear of marriage seminars all over the place, but Pastor Chris says, “What you need is not a marriage seminar but a Word seminar.” He has also noted the fact that most conveners of these “marriage seminars” actually end up divorcing because what they teach may sound like the Word of God, but it’s not. Many who have followed their teachings have harvested sour and gloomy relationships.

Although Pastor Chris does not particularly hold marriage or singles seminars, it would amaze you to know that he has taught immensely and extensively from the Word of God on relationships. These vast teachings are scattered all over the thousands of messages he has preached over the years, and the purpose of this blog is to bring them out for you. You can have a blissful and fulfilling relationship and we bring to you the ‘sunesis’ of Pastor Chris on relationships.
