Marriage: Knowing God’s will

Posted on June 15, 2012 Updated on June 19, 2012

Five Destiny choices

1. • Choice of Profession
   • Choice of Marriage
   • Choice of Counsellor
   • Choice of lifestyle
   • Choice of commitment to service

Choice of Profession

Genesis 4 vs. 19-20: Lamech married two women. One wife was named Adah, and the other wife was named Zilllah. Adah gave birth to Jabal. Jabal was the father of people who lived in tents and earn their living by keeping cattle.

Genesis 25 vs. 27: The boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He loved to be out in the fields. But Jacob was a quiet man. He stayed in his tent.

1. Esau choose to be a hunter, and Jacob was dwelling in the tents. Esau was always with animals, but Jacob was around people and listened to necessary instructions from men.
2. A lot of people are doing the wrong jobs.

Choice of Marriage

Genesis 26 vs. 34-35: When Esau was 40 years old, he married two Hittite women. One was Judith the daughter of Beeri. The other was Basemath the daughter of Elon. These marriages made Isaac and Rebekah very upset.

1. Esau choose the wrong profession and ended up in the wrong marriage. Esau married the enemies of God, the enemies of his destiny. He married from a cursed and rejected race.

Genesis 28 vs. 1: Isaac called Jacob and blessed him. Then Isaac gave him a command. Isaac said: “You must not marry a Canaanite woman.

Genesis 28 vs. 6-9: Esau learned that his father Isaac blessed Jacob. And Esau learned that Isaac sent Jacob away to Padan Aram to find a wife there. Esau learned that Isaac commanded Jacob not to marry a Canaanite woman. And Esau learned that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother and went to Paddan Aram.

Esau saw fromthis that his father did not want his sons to marry Canaanite woman. Esau already had two wives. But he went to Ishmael and married another woman. He married Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael. Ishmael was Abraham’s son. Mahalath was Nebaioth’ sister.

1. All the life of Esau was a revelation of negative choices- wrongprofession, wrong marriage, and these eventually became his doom.

Final words

1.For you to have a successful life, you must make the right choice.

2.You choice in life determines your estate and destiny in life.

3.Poverty only resides in the life of people who want it.

Prayer points

1. Every anointing of negative choice in my blood, die in the name of Jesus.

2. By the spirit of the living God, I terminate every appointment with sorrow.
