Memory Verse With Explanation


Genesis 2:24 EASY‬
Because of this, when a man marries, he leaves his father and his mother. Instead, God joins the man and his wife together. The two people become as one body.

We've heard this scripture quoted a million times by marriage counsellors or Pastors at wedding ceremonies, so much so that we can quote it word for word. 
Something about this scripture gives us butterflies in our bellies and sends a tingly sensation down our spines as females if you know what i mean *smiles sheepishly*
For the men it is a license to claim ownership over his wife's body and control her entire life, for a woman it is unrestricted access to his resources, exclusive rights to his body and pull him away from his family shenanigans to hers and hers only.

We were told the first thing a man has to acquire before getting a wife is a house, move out of his family's and be self sufficient. 
Kissing goodbye to his days on the streets, changing his circle and getting indoctrinated into the married cluster in church.
Getting a fat paying job that can help cater to the needs of his immediate family so on and so forth.
As for the woman, all she needs is good character, impeccable culinary skills, being spectacular at bedmatics, meticulous housekeeping expertise and a pro at raising well behaved children. 

Don't get me wrong, these things are good, but just like Jesus said; "Martha Martha you worry about many things, but only one thing is important"
Now what might that thing that takes precedence over the required standard be?
Walk with me shall we?

In order to better understand this scripture we have to first understand what God's idea of marriage is.
When the first man and woman scripture introduced us to were made, they had no family, or extra luggage(responsibilities of other members or friends) to handle. All they had were themselves and an invisible God who paid them visits from time to time. Nothing and no one was vying for their attention like we have in modern times, they didn't struggle to make ends meet as they had all they needed in one place. So why then did scripture speak about leaving their parents to become one flesh? 
Could this mean that God wasn't talking about a physical leaving and cleaving but an abstract one?
Man in the time when Adam and Eve were made was a name given to both creations not just the Male. I know a lot of preachers have misquoted this verse to say a man leaves a woman doesn't bla bla bla.. Wrong!!!
If man were to leave and cleave to one another then what exactly are they leaving? 

Marriage is more of a soul connection than just a bodily connection. Before a marriage ceremony takes place, our souls have to be in perfect alignment as that is the real marriage God instituted not the one where we stand before our families,friends and "religious" leaders to confess our love for one another. 
Therefore shall a man leave(forsaking all other connections he may have internally) and cleave to his wife and both of them becomes one in soul(like-minded) This has nothing to do with awwwn worthy vows,an extravagant wedding ceremony just to be featured on Bellanaija and Asoebibella blogs and social media pages. 
The real marriage takes place when we are united in spirit and soul, and contrary to what you have been told, sex isn't the only way this connection happens. In fact the Creator believes this has to take place before showing yourselves to the Priest(Wedding ceremony) 

How then does the union between our Souls and Spirits happen without exchanging bodily fluids?
This is what we would be discussing all through the week on Memory Verse With Explanation.
We(The Holy Spirit and I) would be exposing the lies surrounding the concept of marriage that we have believed for a long time and replacing it with the truth.
We hope you come back to tomorrow's verse.

Memory Verse With Explanation

Luke 7:37-38 NIV‬ [37] A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. [38] As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. If you're an ardent bible study attendee then this scripture would be very familiar to you. So familiar a scripture that even unbelievers know it. It's the story of the woman with the alabaster box. A woman who poured out more than a year's wages on the feet of Christ as a form of reverence to him, not only that, washed his feet with her tears and wiped them clean with her hair. One thing about this popular scripture is that the woman in question was a renowned prostitute,one who at her time was considered unworthy to be in the presence of noble men let alone the presence of the King of Kings. This story has been acted on stag...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Galatians 4:1-2 NIV‬ [1] What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. [2] The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.  I remembered having a conversation with my dad one time during my childhood days that made everybody seated there burst into laughter.  I asked if i could get money to buy "pampers"(Sanitary Pad) seeing as my elder sisters were using one LOL!! Yeah feel free to laugh at my childishness as everyone who heard the story after that day laughed at me and called me miss pampers.  I wanted to do grown up stuff when i wasn't even at that stage yet. I hadn't started menstruating but i wanted money to buy pad that i wasn't ready for, I thought it was the coolest thing to do as girls i didn't realise i would first have to spot miss red flag before getting my own pampers. Today's scripture is no different from my childhood ta...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Matthew 6:25-26 NIV‬ [25]  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? [26] Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Since i was born and now i am getting old never have i seen or heard that rats lost weight as a result of food inflation. I have never heard that wall geckos ever ran out of supplies to the point of carrying placards to protest before God. I haven't also seen where wild animals in the jungle like lions and crocodiles ate weeds. They always had their supplies undisrupted.  Animals who were created less than us have since creation been provided for how much more you and i who were made in God's image and likeness? Impatience is not what we suffer from as humans but trust issues is. We fear what...
