Prayer Points Against Marriage Destroyers

Last Updated on June 7, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we will be dealing with prayer points against marriage destroyers. The institution of marriage is one established by God the Father, for companionship. We see the first marriage in the bible, that of Adam and Eve in Gen. 2:24. Our heavenly father created marriage for everything good and not for destruction, so if there is anything contrary to that, it is not from God.

The institution of marriage was also created by God so that it could reflect and illustrate our relationship with him. We see in Ephesians how God designed the man to love the wife as an illustration of how Christ loves the church, wholeheartedly, selflessly and sacrificially. Eph. 5: 25 says, ‘Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself to it;’

The book of Ephesians also shows us how the wives should be responsive in marriage in terms of submission. Eph. 5:21-33, “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.”

From these verses, we see the theme of love, submission, reverence, respect, sacrifice, selflessness and leadership. None of this was created for destruction. However, we must also recognize that the devil is set to destroy. John 10:10 says, ‘The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.’

The devil hence, seeks for ways to influence the minds of men and women in marriage to shift their focus from the will of God in marriage. That is why the Christian must not be relaxed; we must wake up to pray against the destruction of our marriages. There is a saying that whatever is not yet good needs prayer, whatsoever is good also needs prayer. There is no breathing space for the devil in our homes, if we take charge. That is the reason we will be praying against marriage destroyers.

They come in various ways, loud and subtle, it could be in form of friends and associations, and it could be in ways in which we ourselves have influenced, consciously or unconsciously. Whichever way they might want to come, we will be taking them all into prayers, the peace of God will manifest in our homes and the will of God for marriage will become our testimony in the name of Jesus Christ.
