Enhancing Your Duo Anointing III
Matthew 18:19-20
“Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Beloved,
If you are married, then there are things you can incorporate into your marriage to build unity and oneness through agreement and submission. I will highlight some specific things neccessary for oneness in marital relationships.
– Mutual understanding. Understand that people process things differently. It takes time to reach an agreement or to submit so give allowance of time. Don’t rush your spouse by moving them forcefully into submission. Take advantage of the analytical mind of your spouse. Understand the need for people to pace themselves before arriving at a decision. Some appear to be slow in making critical decisions, but they are just taking their time to process all the necessary information, so be patient with them and permit that process to manifest. Some are quiet about issues, but it doesn’t mean they are not thinking about it. Again give it time before revisiting. As long as you both are on the same page, nothing shall be impossible for you to achieve.
– Engage in intelligent communication. Many times we don’t agree because we don’t engage in intelligent conversation. Bring your tone down a notch and don’t speak sharply, rudely, or sarcastically to your spouse. Nobody likes being spoken to rudely. Don’t make your suggestion a command or else you will meet with resistance. Often times, one party has already taken time to consider an issue and has decided on a course of action before presenting the issue to their spouse. Yet they expect their spouse to yield in a matter of seconds, it doesn’t work that way.
– Selflessness, Romans 12:10. Submission is not a virtue for women alone; it is supposed to be mutual. God knew that it would be difficult for women to submit that was why He gave that direct command. The one who has a revelation of what it means to submit is the one who understands the principles of honor and respect.
– One purpose. It is not everything you will agree upon in marriage but there must be something of eternal purpose you both are working on together. It may be agreement over the parenting of your children. It may be agreement on your service in the kingdom of God. No matter what it is, find that common ground and begin to be of one mind and purpose over that matter.
– Ensure that your spouse walks with God. Whenever the two of you keep drawing closer to God, you will always converge in Him. Pay whatever price it takes for your spouse to love God because it is in loving God that they can love you best.
It is in agreement that you can see the reality of the scripture that says one shall chase a thousand and two shall chase ten thousand, Deuteronomy 32:30. Beloved, don’t wait for your spouse to change; let the change begin with you. Fix what you are doing wrong, and you will see that change you desire you desire in your spouse.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
