TUESDAY EVENING (1st. of September, 2026) MESSAGE
Topic:- THE BRANCHES OF GOD’S SPIRIT NEEDED IN A MATRIMONIAL HOME OF GOD
God and His Spirit as Paddler, Sailor and Pilot in Marriage:- God knows how the marriage begins because He was the inventor of marriage. Marriage is a vehicle of life contains spouses moving on in the matrimonial journey of life. God is the driver of matrimonial vehicle while the spouses are found in the matrimonial vehicle as passengers. As the males and females children may possibly aboard into the vehicle as the time goes on, the spouses as passengers should neither disturb God while driving nor hijack the steering of matrimonial home’s vehicle from God because such attempt could endanger the lives of the household. For a successful matrimonial home life, the God and His Spirit’s presence is necessary.
Why the God and His Spirit’s Presence is Necessary?
The scripture says:- The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord— and he will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. ….. – Isaiah 11: 2 – 4 (NIV). This denotes here that the Spirit of God has six branches as listed below:
Spirit of wisdom
Spirit of understanding
Spirit of counsel
Spirit of might
Spirit of knowledge
Spirit of the fear of God
When the scripture says:- The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him …. – Isaiah 11: 2 (NIV) and this same Spirit is identified in different six positions namely:- wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and fear of God (Isaiah 11: 2 – 3). It implies that the Spirit of the Lord is the only source of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the fear of God. The couples in the homes should agree that all these branches of the Holy Spirit of God are essentially needed in all endeavours of mankind starting from the early life of humanities till down.
The Spirit of God Empowers Peace and Joy of Home
The Holy Bible enumerates why each humankind should accommodate six different spirits in ONE GOD in their life as follow:-
1. The couple who accommodates the Lord’s Spirit of wisdom performs beyond humans’ intelligence.
2. If a husband and wife could acknowledge the Lord’s Spirit of understanding, they live in anticipation for the intervention of God in all issues because he who understands the Lord God’s way always exercise patient in all endeavours.
3. When the humanities embrace the Lord’s Spirit of counsel, they act fast in hearings but act slowly in response (or action) as the scripture says:- My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry – James 1: 19 (NIV) until descension of the divine guidance for making decisions.
4. He or she who embraces the Lord’s Spirit of might would be strong enough and extremely capable to endure crisis, challenges, persecutions and other difficulties of life both in the home and outside the home.
5. Cherishing the Lord’s Spirit of knowledge proves one to be an excellent in conversations and actions.
6. The scripture encourages human beings to:- Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing – Psalms 34: 9 (NIV). Being in the fear of God and operating under the Spirit of the fear of God proves the faithfulness of the concerned and it’s also conforms and empowers the God’s sonship and God’s daughtership of an individual. And again, the fear of God provides divine protection for those who fear Him (Psalm 34: 7).
The scripture says:- Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; ….. – Proverbs 29: 18 (NIV). What is the revelation which the scripture is talking about here? Revelation here is the feeling of the presence of the Holy Spirit of God. It could also mean the outputs of relationship and interaction between each spouse and God. Revelation is the exposition of the hidden agendas of the Devil and the will of God for each individual’s life so that the concerned would know and understand the next step to take. Revelation may be negative or positive, productive or unproductive, profitable or unprofitable, fruitful or unfruitful. To prove godliness, each spouse in each matrimonial home is advised to desire for progressive foresight because it works for an individual to live a godly and purposeful life. A spouse in marriage that ignores God and His Spirit ignores the benefits and pleasure of marriage.
The scripture says:- All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work – II Timothy 3: 16 – 17 (NIV). This implies that allowing God and His Spirit in one Matrimonial Home indicates the presence of God in such home.
Conclusion:-
So, with the above, one could now see that the presence of the Holy Spirit of God is paramount and extremely needed in marriage. The absence of the Spirit of God in marriage is the presence of the Devil and his spirits.
