UNMOVEABLE COUPLES: LEARNING FROM THE LIFE OF AMRAM AND JOCHEBED

Scripture:
‘THEY THAT TRUST IN THE LORD SHALL BE AS MOUNT ZION, WHICH CANNOT BE REMOVED, BUT ABIDETH FOREVER.’
(PSALM 125:1)

 

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนMarriage is not not for chicken-hearted and the lilly-livered. Why?

๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿน It’s because there will be hundreds of challenges. To succeed in marriage you must be brave, courageous and lionhearted.

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนToday, we’re looking at a couple that was indeed lionhearted in their time. Their names? The husband: Amram. Wife: Jochebed.

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนThey lived in Egypt at the time the King of Egypt decreed death on every male child born to a Hebrew family.
But they were not afraid of the King’s decree of horror!

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนThey went on and got married.
Did they intend to “survive” and “stay safe” by using contraceptives? No! They had a rugged faith that God would protect them!

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนWith that Faith they gave birth to their first born, a girl they named Miriam, followed by a boy they named Aaron and a third child named Moses!

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนAnd when the third child was crying so loud at the age of three months, they were not scared. They made an ark, put him in it and placed it among reeds in the river.

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนGod saw their faith and trust in Him and arranged for the King’s daughter to adopt the third child: Moses.

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนMoses grew up to become a mighty Prophet God would use to bring His judgement upon Egypt and it’s gods!

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนThe other children Miriam and Aaron? Oh, God handpicked them to be Prophetess and High Priest respectively.

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนAt the time they braved marriage, they never imagined that their union would produce spiritual giants. But their bravery and faith in God made it possible.

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนAs a couple, don’t let fear cripple you!!

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนDon’t let challenges make you change your mind and take negative steps that would destroy your marriage.

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนThere is no challenge that has no answer or solution in God. And there’s no challenge that has no expiry date. Furthermore, no challenge is new: people have faced them before you and overcome them and so can you!

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนIf your husband has weak erections, that’s no reason to begin think of infidelity, masturbation or using sex toys. Or worse still, leaving the marriage. Pick up your Faith and get into God’s presence in prayer and see the living God give you glorious answers, amazing victories and mind-blowing testimonies!

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนIf your wife isn’t conceiving, that’s no reason to become dismayed and begin planning to go polygamous. Pray to God in persevering and persistent Faith and you will see God’s glory just as Isaac and Rebecca did.

๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸนLive your married life holding firmly to Faith and Trust in God; and you will be triumphant over every challenge the devil throws at you as a couple!!!

๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“– QUOTES: “In the Marriage Bedroom, First-Lovers donโ€™t seek self gratification but are sincerely and firstly after the joy and satisfaction of their Mate. Theyโ€™ve learnt this secret: their own sexual satisfaction is hidden in the sexual fulfillment of their Mate.”(Anselm Ahman. From Lovebirds’ Devotional of August 7, 2024)
