RELATIONSHIPS<br />
THE IMPERFECT PERFECT<br />
MATCH<br />
When couples fight in a relationship or fail<br />
to get along, it is because they are both under<br />
the understanding that the relationship is<br />
about them. That each has to get what they<br />
want or need from it in order for it to work.<br />
God created a man and then created a<br />
woman from a man, so that a man can<br />
have a companion. These two are to work<br />
together in good harmony to do what God<br />
has called them to do. God called each one<br />
of us individually to serve a purpose that He<br />
has created us for. When He now forms a union<br />
out of two people, it is because the purpose<br />
He has for each one of us is based on<br />
needing the other person for it to work successfully.<br />
That is why the bible says God<br />
blesses where there is unity (Psalm 133). Couples<br />
fight or struggle to get along because<br />
they have no understanding of what they<br />
together are called to do or that together<br />
they are a ministry.<br />
I spent about 3 months in a house that belongs<br />
to my Pastors, the husband and wife. I<br />
got to see and understand what being a<br />
Pastor means and to what depth it goes. The<br />
Pastoral ministry is one that requires one to<br />
be available 24/7 without complain. People<br />
out there have problems; they have things<br />
they need to be taken care of, in order for<br />
them to have a peaceful life. Some problems<br />
keep you awake at night, to the extent<br />
that it doesn’t matter what time it is, you will<br />
need to speak to the Pastor to get an advice,<br />
counselling or prayers. They would be<br />
woken up by a member or have one at the<br />
house until late hours. He is called to be a<br />
Pastor, but for him to be a successful Pastor<br />
he needs a wife that is called to be a Pastor’s<br />
wife. You can’t just wake up and wish to<br />
be a Pastor’s wife, it is a calling.<br />
The kind of work that is involved in being that<br />
wife requires you to be called. In that way<br />
you understand the vision that God has for<br />
your union. You are able to share the responsibilities<br />
or do them together. God has<br />
blessed her with a gift of counselling and<br />
prophecy. Together they are formidable intercessors.<br />
Their callings complement each<br />
other and together complete the calling for<br />
the union.<br />
