Marriage was never designed to derail or distract you; it was instituted by God to advance destiny. “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). Marriage is a continuation of God’s programme, not a side project. It is not a “special season” that suspends destiny; rather, it is the next stage in its unfolding. Ecclesiastes 4:9 confirms this: “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” When marriage is in God’s will, both partners accomplish in a short time what one would have struggled to do alone.
The tragedy today is that many treat marriage as an end in itself. Some sisters think once they marry, everything is complete; and some brothers think a wife is merely an accessory to their success. No! Marriage is not a trophy: it is a tool. A wrong marriage reduces speed, weakens the spirit, and clouds vision. That is why the devil fights hardest at this junction: he knows that once you marry wrong, your destiny is compromised. But when you marry right, marriage becomes a launchpad for destiny. It sharpens your focus, multiplies your strength, and gives you a companion in the battles of life.
Don’t see marriage as a holiday from consecration; see it as a higher classroom in destiny.
Practically, before saying “yes” or giving a proposal, ask yourself: Does this person help me see clearer? Do they multiply my pursuit of God or diminish it? If the answer is negative, don’t let pity, age, or pressure deceive you. Marriage is not rescue from loneliness; it is responsibility for destiny. If you are already married, align your home to God’s purpose. Pray together, plan together, and pursue destiny together. When marriage is properly aligned, it is not a detour but a divine progression that brings you into the fullness of God’s plan.
THOUGHT TO PONDER: Do I see marriage as a progression of destiny or as a detour into personal comfort? Is my union helping me accomplish more for God than I could alone?
PRAYER: Lord, let my marriage be a continuation of Your programme for my life. Deliver me from every detour that derails destiny.
