TEMPLE THOUGHTS The Neglected Powerhouse

“GOD said, “It’s not good for the Man to be alone; I’ll make him a helper, a companion.” Genesis‬ ‭2:18 MSG‬‬

If your prayer partner is any other but your spouse, maybe you need a new understanding of marriage. Everybody needs a partner, somebody to share with, somebody to talk to, somebody who listens to your rants, with an understanding heart. If you’re not married, then a good brother or sister would do. Oh , the joys of a good talk, many burdens are lifted simply because they are shared. Your listener may not even proffer a solution but you feel lighter after the contact.

In a marriage, however, the desire of God is that you have your prayer partner in your spouse. If it is true that the two of you are one, then, there’s no body better than your spouse to share with, all the inner pains and confusions that burden the heart. If you can’t share your life with your spouse, then sorry, I cannot call it marriage.

A brother told me that he feels more comfortable with his prayer partner because his wife does not understand him, she’s always full of criticism, and most of his prayer points are about her. Alas, your beloved prayer partner is not seen as one with you spiritually, he therefore cannot give you the help that your spouse is endued with by the authority of marriage.

A good marriage is a spiritual power house where the force of unity is empowered by God to bring down blessings and chase foes in their thousands. Therefore, my friend, repair your power house. Let couples come together in love and unity and you will be surprised at how many mountains your simple prayers would move.

To my single readers, may God give you a good prayer partner who would stand in, until your spouses arrive.
