Using the great King Solomon as a precept, Nehemiah’s query is, “If Solomon’s sagacity and influence and his relationship with God will not render his penchant for foreign women guiltless, how can you expect us to tolerate this conjugal illegality?” It is an egregious treachery for a Christian to enter into a marriage with someone known as an unrepentant unbeliever of God’s lines and precepts. Marriage is intended to usher one into the status of authority and maturity. No matter the sincerity that leads one into any marriage, as long as it fails to mirror the Divine pattern, it remains ultra vires simply because you are sincerely wrong. Your act is grossly unwarranted. Was Adam given an option to marry more than one woman? Is Jesus not going to marry just one Woman – the Church? Marrying more than one wife has always been problematic. Abraham did not want Hagar to go even against Divine reasoning. David’s palace became a riotous home. Solomon, the wisest of homo sapiens, got himself plunged into unbelievable idolatrous stupidity. And like the scoffing priests of Isaiah’s old days, some think their intellectualism have placed them on too high a pedestal to go back to the kindergarten littleness of biblical studentship The very minute one agrees to his wrongdoings and asks God for His divine help, everything comes to normalcy. This is all that the LORD God is ever yearning to do: welcome and accept us back as His children and, of course, soteriologically, as the Bride of the Lamb. Lackadaisical approach to marital conditions leads to its possible annulment. A genuine return to God, like the parabolical prodigal son, kills the spirit of divorcement. Amen!Read More
