PRESENT NEED! FUTURE NEED
THE VASHTI MARRIAGE TEMPLATE

Modern Society is on the progressive train of demanding more from womanhood than their former primary role of 'Nurturer' in the Home.
Women are CEO of conglomerate and more and more are pioneers and pacesetters in their careers. 

The mental, spiritual, and economic  capacities of these women had  been stretch beyond measures to accommodate these new roles and demand.

The Vashti marriage template presupposes that the initial need of a partner (male and female) may change as their mindset, career and dreams/vision progresses. 
Queen Vashtu was an exceptional beautiful woman that King Xerxes (Esther 1) was proud to show off to his Kingdom officials and guests. This action reveals that her beauty may be his primary choice of queen Vashti.
But future events in his kingdom demanded for a woman with more than just a beautiful face: he realised he also needed a submissive woman who can be a role model to other women in his Kingdom.

 He needed a queen who can accommodate his ego and of course show -off tendency. 
A woman who will celebrate his kingship but also willingly celebrate his boyish tendencies.

Althought beautiful, The Queen lacked these other virtues that the future of her husband demanded.

Some people settle for marriage partners that are suitable for their present need but may not be adequately prepared for the needs generated by their Future.
Thus  Vashti marriage template is a present -need based that lacks foresight.
Your designed future requires a higher capacity than your present if the promise of God in Proverbs 4:18 is achievable in your life - 
'The path of the just is as a shinning light that shines bright and brighter unto a perfect day.'
Your present state can accommodate certain flaws and short-coming and  if such are allowed into your future can impede your maximum output and produce tragic results .

'How are the mighty fallen 
And the weapon of war no more'

"Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else."
I Samuel 9:2
Israel demanded for a king as other nations.
And this demand necessitated giving them  a king as that of other nations and not a king as Jehovah wanted. (A king after God' s heart)
This demand for a king as other nations necessitates a king that is intimidating in height (  l guess as Goliath was)   and had an exceptional handsome appearance.

That was their present need.
Their Future was designed to fight the LORD's battle and the battle of the King of kings will certainly fail in the hands of mortal:
The arm of flesh can never conquer the unseen forces of darkness 
The battles needed a king who knows the ways of God and knew that the LORD' s battle is not fought by strength alone but victory comes by divine instructions
So fall, the tallest Man fell because his present capacity could not handled the challenges of his future!
He had the height of Goliath, the champion of the Philistines but he did not have the spiritual capacity to conquer the enemy of Israel.

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth..

Christ ensured that His thoughts, mind and heart is filled and full of the Word of God so that whatever He says and do, it is an offs
