Love Code Conference 2021 - Feb 14th

 Happy Valentine's


Today's sermon was lit. However, 1 thing stood out - 

A relationship can be ordained by God and yet it does not work.

In Acts 13v1-2 Paul and Barnabas were specifically divinely called to be partners in ministry, but we see that in Acts 15v36-39, there was a strong disagreement and they separated, the partnership didn't work out and Paul went on to do stuff with Silas.

Quite profound. A good reminder that God is not one who would enforce His will on you. He has given each and everyone of us the power of choosing, and that includes the choice of a life partner and the choice to make the relationship work.

He would offer you His ideas, suggest His preferences, at the end of the day, the ball is in court as they say  🎾


Another key take away is: Be willing to wait till you have your spec (your kind of life partner). We take an example from the first man - Adam. Though he had Animals around him that could be a companion, he waited for God to give him his life partner. Don't marry an Animal.

If I attempted to sum up the sermon in a few words it would  be ..  Marriage is a divine call to fixing your partner...or better put a call to reconcile your spouse to God . This may not be an unfamiliar perspective, but the meaning is more profound when you understand, you too need some fixing. Some key points from the sermon. Marriage is one of the kind of relationship that goes sour fast. - If you are experiencing issues in your Marraige..nothing is wrong..(it's a part of it. (This explains everything, if there is an issue, it an opportunity to do the Lord's works, and you'll be fulfilling God's purpose) John 15v2 - 4 tells us why. He that abides in Him bears fruit. We treat challenges in marriage as a wall, instead of a bump. (The friction calls for us to slow down and ...
