Jesus Himself had to bring His will under subjection when He prayed, \u201cO my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt\u201d (Matthew 26:39). If the Son of God had to lay down His desires for the Father\u2019s will, then you too must come to Gethsemane in your marital choices. God already has thoughts of peace for you, not of evil, to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11). But you must surrender your emotions, preferences, and ambitions so that His higher wisdom can prevail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mistake many believers make is to confuse desire with destiny. A man says, \u201cI like her shape,\u201d or a woman says, \u201cHe has money,\u201d and they conclude God has spoken. Your desires are shaped by culture, upbringing, and flesh; they are unreliable compasses for destiny. If you follow them blindly, you will walk straight into satanic traps. Grace is not a licence to indulge your emotions; it is a divine empowerment to rise above them. Don\u2019t assume that because you prayed with fasting, God will rubber-stamp your desire. If your will is not crucified, you will still mishear Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>A destiny marriage begins when you can genuinely say, \u201cLord, not my will, but Thine be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Practically, take every attraction to the cross. Refuse to baptise lust as \u201clove.\u201d Refuse to let family pressure push you into choices God has not approved. Train yourself to hear God in small things daily, so that when marriage is before you, His voice will be clear. If you ignore His leading and go ahead with your desire, you will not only frustrate yourself but endanger your children\u2019s inheritance. But if you embrace His will, even when it cuts across your flesh, you will walk into joy, peace, and a marriage that powers your destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THOUGHT TO PONDER:<\/strong> Am I allowing my desires to compete with God\u2019s will in the matter of marriage? Have I surrendered fully to the Lordship of Jesus in this area of my life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote quote-simple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>PRI\u00c8RE:<\/strong> <strong>Lord, crucify my fleshly desires and align my heart with Your perfect will for marriage and destiny.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"tie-padding  has-padding-left has-padding-right\" style=\"padding-left:5%; padding-right:5%; padding-top:0; padding-bottom:0;\">\n\n\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>LA BIBLE EN UN AN :<\/strong><br>Zacharie 1:1-21, Apocalypse 12:1-17, Psaume 140:1-13, Proverbes 30:17<br><br><br><strong>SPIRIT MEAT SUR ANDROID ET iOS<br><\/strong><br>Spirit Meat on Android: https:\/\/bit.ly\/SpiritMeatAndroid<br>Spirit Meat on iOS: https:\/\/bit.ly\/SpiritMeatIOS<br>YouVersion: http:\/\/bible.us\/r\/GbY<br><br>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<br><br>J\u00e9sus est Seigneur !<br><br>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<br>www.dreamcentreoftheloic.org<br>www.soundcloud.com\/reverendareogun<br>www.dciradio.org<br>https:\/\/bit.ly\/SpiritMeatDailyDevotionalWhatsApp<br>YouTube Channel- Sola Areogun Ministries<br>+2348037252124<br>#SpiritMeat<br>#ReverendAreogun<br>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<br><br><em><strong>Copyright \u00a9\ufe0f 2025<\/strong><br>The public is hereby informed that exclusive copyright<\/em><br><em>subsiste dans cette \u0153uvre et donc toute tentative de reproduction,<\/em><br><em>copier, distribuer au public \u00e0 des fins commerciales, publier tout<\/em><br><em>traduction de l&#039;\u0153uvre, r\u00e9aliser un film relatif \u00e0 l&#039;\u0153uvre,<\/em><br><em>faire une adaptation de l&#039;\u0153uvre, soit dans son int\u00e9gralit\u00e9, soit en grande partie<\/em><br><em>une partie de l&#039;\u0153uvre, soit dans sa forme originale, soit sous toute autre forme<\/em><br><em>d\u00e9riv\u00e9 de mani\u00e8re reconnaissable de l&#039;original constitue une atteinte \u00e0 la<\/em><br><em>droit de l&#039;auteur et sujet \u00e0 litige sauf et sauf<\/em><br><em>l&#039;auteur a officiellement et clairement autoris\u00e9 ladite personne<\/em><br><em>ou les personnes ou l&#039;auteur sont clairement mentionn\u00e9s dans l&#039;\u0153uvre.<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>he greatest enemy of divine leading is personal desire.
