IS  ABSOLUTE FIDELITY POSSIBLE IN CHRISTIAN MARRAIGES?

Fidelity in marraige  is the act whereby a man/ woman remains true and faithful to a legal marraige partner for the rest of their life.

Fidelity entails that the man/ woman honours the Marraige covenant contracted on the wedding day and cinsumated with blood and nakedness on the wedding night.

When occultic men and women iniitiates and enter into  covenants , it is more potent when it involves blood and when done utterly naked. Nakedness symbolises death.and emptiness; it symbolises that you return to how you were born - empty when you break the terms of the covenants. 

Job mentioned this in Job 1:20

"At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.'

Occultic covenants differ from one Occultic group to the other.  But the most extreme covenants always symbolises that defaulters return to the state in which they entered the earth which is nake and empty.

This is why members of occultic groups find it extremely difficult to leave this evil societies because of the grievous consequences suffers. It is only the power of God that can deliver men and women who receive Christ and desire to such groups.

The Marraige covenant is stronger than any other covenants even Occultic covenants. It is the covenant that is Instituted by God for the continuity of His creation. therefore God is a personal  witness to this union especially that of His children..

It means if a husband becomes unfaithful to his marraige vows and the wife calls on God who was a witness and reports the unfaithfulness of her husband, that man will be punished by the Justice system of the Almighty.

God has this to say about unfaithfulness in marriage relationship: "Another thing you do: You flood the LORD’s altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. 

You ask, “Why?” IT is BECAUSE THE LORD IS THE WITNESS BETWEEN YOU AND THE WIFE OF YOUR YOUTH. 

You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant. Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.

 So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth. 

“The man who hates and divorces his wife, ” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect,” says the LORD Almighty.

 So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful. Malachi 2:13-15.

God is highly interested in the Marraige relationship because of its importance.

Originally, a man is not created to became unfaithful to His wife just as God cannot be unfaithful to His people and His children.

Man is created in the image of God and also had the nature of God before the fall and alliance with Satan and the sinful nature.

Man is created with the capacity to love His wife just as God love His people. Yahweh  will do anything and everything to please His children  and make them happy. 

Also, Man has the ability and capacity to care for, nurture the woman called his wife exactly as God the Father.

The man in the Marraige relationship is the a prototype of God's relationship with His people. A husband bears the same title as God- God is called the husband of Israel His people while the man is the husband of his wife.

“In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call me ‘my husband’; you will no longer call me ‘my master." Hosea 2:16

Isaiah 54:5

For your Maker is your husband —

the LORD Almighty is his name—

the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; 

he is called the God of all the earth.

So just as God cares for His children, defend them, provide for them, make them happy, the man is given inbuilt capacity to take care of his wife in the same dimension as God.

The woman on the other hand is supposed to response to the care given by the man  and honour and respect him just as the children of God honours and respect God for His kindness and goodness to his children.

This is where Adam failed Eve in the Garden of Eden. Truly, Satan came to the person that he knew needed persuasion probably because he knew that if he could persuade the woman; then the man will yield to the woman because of his love for her.

Man lost the ability and capabilities to love his wife as God love his children because of the fall which brought the Satanic nature of unfaithfulness and betrayal to mankind.

So we see a new nature in man, a nature that is concern with self; a nature that is different from the nature of God; a nature that is selfish and seeks to hurt the other in bid of self gratification. Man lost the nature of God and replace it with the nature of the devil also called the sinful nature 

The sinful nature is a nature that rebels against God and His ways.

Therefore a man can only be faithful to his partner and love them as God loves His children when they have the nature of God again 

The nature of God is given to every Believer in Christ when we gave our hearts to Jesus.Christ.

 Therefore every believer both male and female has the capacity and ability to remain faithful to their marraige partner for life by the Life and power of  The Christ AVALIABLE in The Holy Spirit who dwells in the Believer.

WHY THEN ARE BELIEVERS - WIVES AND HUSBANDS INVOLVED IN INFIDELITY AND DIVOURCE?
