WHEN THE HONEYMOON IS OVER:

Joel 2:15-16 “Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the Bridegroom go out from his CHAMBER, And the Bride from her DRESSING ROOM”. 

Before a couple marries, they feel invulnerable. Love sweeps them along on a cloud from which they can’t see the ground, much less the pit—even if they wished to look, which they don’t. Then they come back from the honeymoon. Making Their Own Rules for Marriage. 

It is not what happen during the wedding that count, but what next after the ceremony is over?


Prophet Joel cried out, "Bridegroom, you have stayed too long in the chamber. Bride, you have stayed too long in the dressing room". It is time for the gathering of the saints, a called to the solemn assembly. It’s time to sanctify the Church. All will be involve in this sanctification process, the children and nursing, the Bridegroom and his Bride.The word sanctification means to be set apart for the service or glory of God.


A revival is coming, but the Bride and her Bridegroom have no interest in the things of God again. They have no time for fasting, they no longer pray together or live a holy life. They are carried away with the ecstasy of the wedding and the glamour of sex. 


Bridegroom, you have stayed too long in the bed chamber having sex and making her factory for producing babies. All you can think of is sex sex sex. Sex has replace spiritual devotion to God. Each time you come home, the first thing you do is romance with your Bride and have no time for intensive prayer and reading of the word of God. 


Oh Bride, you spend hours in your dressing room, but have little or no time for prayers and worship. Because of your consistency in the dressing room, you go to church late, but have enough time to show up at different occasions or visit friends. If both of you should not take caution and come out of the chamber to fast and pray for the future success of your marriage and children, be sure that the storm will soon come. Its appropriate for every Bride to dress for her husband, but not at the detriment of your devotion to God. When your devotion for the things of God is abated during the glory of your wedding, be sure that the ecstasy will soon be gone and then, you will begin to face reality. That is why Paul said its not a sin to marry "Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you”. 1 Cor 7:28


As soon as the wedding is over, the devil is waiting with his temptation and manipulation to ruin the marriage. Anything that reveal the image and glory of God is the enemy of Satan. He would not like to see you walking in unity, having smooth communication and worshiping God together.


The same vibe you use to enjoy sex in the bed chamber and in the dressing room, let it be the same vibe in your devotion to the things of God.
