Greetings beloved brothers and sisters. Today makes it the fifth day since the MCGI Mass Indoctrination program. We were privileged to hear God's word once again through our beloved brother Eli Soriano. In today's teaching he shared the doctrine concerning marriage. We all know that marriage is between a man and a woman according to the word of God.
Marriage is more than just a physical act, it is actually spiritual. This is why a wedding is going on God is involved while the couple and congregation are present. Having God involved in marriage, the couple is expected to live by the doctrines that is associated with marriage.
1 Peter 3:1 - Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives
As far as marriage is concerned, the man is placed in authority. That is how God made it to be. Having a man as the one in authority, the wife is expected to be in total submission to her husband. A wife who defaults in this area is indirectly disobeying the commandment of God.
1 Peter 3:7 - 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.
Keeping God's commandments concerning marriage is very crucial because it can hinder their prayers from being answered. If a couple is living according to the will of God concerning marriage, God is pleased with this and hears their prayers made unto Him.
