Marriage Idolatry (Is Marriage Your Golden Calf?)

  • There's nothing wrong with desiring to be married, but the issue is when we desire marraige more than we desire God and when we pursue God with the motive of simply getting a spouse.
    In this video I talk about the idol of marriage, ways to know if you have made marraige an idol, and I encourage those who are single and struggling in their waiting process.
    God wants to tear down every idol you have put before Him, He desires to help you get free from the golden calf of marriage.

    I am writing this comment for it to serve as a testimony, during this season of my life I have learned a lot about the dangers of idolizing marriage and how it can open doors for the enemy to whisper in your ear.
    The enemy used that open door in my life to make me believe that someone I’m not attracted towards is my future spouse. I was feeling so much fear, anxiety, and worry, it is so overwhelming. My thoughts would spiral away just thinking about it. I felt so helpless even telling God that I don’t want to be here because from the moment I wake, that person was someone I thought about. God has told me continuously that he is not my future spouse but it’s so hard to confide in the Lord because at times I find myself believing the lies the enemy has whispered to me. I know that God is using this to renew my mind but the process is hard.

    Marriage is overraded because if marriage couple were to tell the truth our jaws would drop because the unveiling of your partner will keep you on your knees. The test are coming of your committment to each other. Marriage takes work. It's not a cake walk and we can only do it in his strength not our own.🙏🏼

    Woman of God, I have been following you for sometime now, (blogs and CZcams channel) and I must say have been truly blessed and refreshed. May God continue to use you purposefully and mightily as a vessel, an instrument and a rod for His harvest. Thanks for obedience to God.

    So very true Deborah, I relate to the point you mentioned about being in love with the idea of being in love and the idea of marriage.

      Thank you sis and revelation and understanding came I was also delivered of something great I had been struggling with unawares. It’s like my eyes have been opened. There’s so much healing God wants to reveal in us. I realised I had almost put my husband to be above salvation thinking of him as my salvation. I even released a secret and immediately felt renewed. The way The Father routes things in a person is mind blowing. Thank you sis. He is purging my heart and the beauty in the prayers I hear the Holy Spirit interceding on my behalf is wondrous .

    Don't think marriage will make you a better person, either. Ahab and Jezebel were married and has kids; Elijah was celibate his whole life.

    I think we have to be careful during the preparation of the wedding that there's no idolatry too. Is the wedding about us or the Lord. Is the desire for one another is stronger than the desire to please God then you may want to rethink your why of getting married. Don't let lust rule. Lust is selfish and love is selflessness🙏🏼

    Loveyou videos, but I have to challenge this one a bit: You never made the desire for marriage your "golden calf"? It's relatively easy to bash " marriage seekers", when you are married, in my opinion?
