Married, Single…Waiting How long have you been married? My name is Deaconess O. Powell and I am very proud to be a part of the T.H.R.A.C. ministry. I have been married for many years. What is the most memorable moment in your marriage? In Matthew 19:5 it states, “For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh.” Cleaving to someone indicates that there is a struggle before you are actually joined together. This is why in a marriage vow, it asks for a man and a woman to support each other in good times and bad times until death parts them. For me to select the most memorable memory in my marriage I would find myself being biased to that memory, as I would be leaving out all the other memories that have helped to shape my marriage into what it is today. In a marriage every memory is memorable and one thing that we should not forget is that memories begin before the marriage vows are even spoken. What did you learn from the most trying period of your marriage? Becoming one with someone is not easily accomplished. It commands for you to sacrifice some of the goals that you have set for yourself. It also calls for you to not think selfishly and to share not only your physical assets, but also your thoughts and feelings; this can be quite trying. However, if one is submitted to God, then they would also be submitted to their husband. To submit to someone would indicate evidence of love. I have learned to exercise the love of God within my marriage. I bear witness to 1 Corinthians 13:7 which states that "love beareth all things, believes all things, hopeth all things and endureth all things." What are some foundational characteristics that an individual must possess before entering into marriage? In Proverbs 18:22 it states, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour from the Lord.” A lot of women today do not understand that getting married does not make them a wife. The word of God commands us to submit to Him. It is in this submission that we learn to attend unto the needs of God. If we are able to honour these commandments, only then can we fulfill all the other commandments which God wants our hearts to be aligned with. The foundational characteristics an individual must possess before entering into marriage will only come when they When G are able to submit to God. Submitting to God would evoke love for Him, love for others and love for yourself. Love causes us to make sacrifices, which is a way we practice how to give to others. What advice would you give to newly married couples? By Mother Powell What advice would give to single saints? Becoming a wife or a husband is a ministry that requires the complete involvement of God in one’s life. It is important to not rush this ministry, as it can only be activated by God. If you cannot submit to God, then you won’t be able to submit to anyone else. I encourage saints to seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. If you knew what you know today about marriage, what changes would you make? God joins two people together, no man can put that asunder. I am glad that God is the head of my marriage as I would change absolutely nothing about it. I encourage every newlywed couple to know that a marriage is a beautiful journey to be on. It will only be a blessing to your union to have the involvement of God in every aspect of your life. This means that in the good Gtimes and the bad times you both run to God and each other, not to man. Let the word of God and prayer be your portion to sustain you on your journey. 4
Purpose: Navigating through the Path… As children of God, many of us have been told that greatness is in us or we are called to be of great influence in our dispensation, and that we are created to fulfill a purpose uniquely designed for us. Yet we struggle in finding, and navigating through the path that would bring us to a place of accomplishment. Many are being deceived by the enemy of our destiny, the accuser of the brethren. He wants to have us believe that we do not possess the spiritual capacity to develop and become who God has called us to be. The enemy also tricks us to believe, that we are restricted in our quest to fulfill our divine destiny. Scripture confirms that those whom He (God) predestined, He also called; the called were justified and the justified was glorified. However, we walk as some who have no spiritual back bone or reliance on a power that is greater than what we are in our physical frame. God's intent was, that now through the church, His manifold wisdom should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our lord. The enemy will try everything in his power to weaken the body of believers to take us away from a place of authority, and distort our belief system. This is where we place little or no credence in God, thus the purposes of God be not accomplished in earth, which can only be done through the body of believers. By Minister James God is willing, ready and waiting to perform what He has promised to do in and for us. All He requires is a people with a firm trust and belief in Him. Most of the limitations that have kept us from having confidence in God, are illusions and limiting beliefs. Know this, confidence is not a fixed attribute but it is the outcome of thoughts and actions. It is our belief in the ability to achieve. Philippians 4:13 states "I have strength for all things in Christ who empowers me. I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency." If only we can shatter those illusions and work on deconstructing old thinking patterns, we will be empowered to accomplish anything we set our minds to and change the trajectory of our lives. Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not. Let your legacy be hewed from the fulfilment of your Godly accomplishments. I've come to understand that the reason so many people never fulfill their purpose is not because they lack opportunity, but it is because there is a lack of faith in or reliance in God. If we are ever going to succeed in this race called life, we need to place total confidence in God. Our life's journey can improve if we begin to build our confidence in the Most High God. Paul wrote in Philippians 1:6 and said, "and I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will continue until the time of His return, developing that good work and perfectly bringing it to full completion in you. 5
