GETTING MARRIAGE RIGHT (PART 4)
WHOSE DAUGHTER ART THOU
(Getting the right partner)

After going through this Article. you will be able to know:

• Why the person you marry goes a long way to determine what experience you have and what strengths and weakness you both enjoy as well as suffer.
• Why you wrongly focus more on the weaknesses of the Family instead of the strength.
• Why you should Stop seeing your spouse, judging and dealing with them only through their weaknesses

Gen. 24:19-23
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking. And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold; And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in? ?
People believe traits, whether good or bad, must be from a family. In 1Sam. 17:55-58, when Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, “Abner, WHOSE SON IS THIS YOUTH?” O king Abner replied, As surely as you live, I do not know.” And the king said, “Inquire whose son the boy is.” And as soon as David returned from the striking down of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. And Saul said to him, “WHOSE SON ARE YOU, young man?” And David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”

GETTING MARRIAGE RIGHT PART 3 
THE BREED (FAMILY CONCEPT)

Overview:

• The breed of people you are to marry (kindred).
• ANCESTRAL or CULTURAL PATTERN, TRAIT OR CHARACTERISTICS.
•  No discrimination or tribalism in Christ Jesus.

Gen. 24:3-4
And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. 

It is not possible to understand Abraham's insistence on his servant not getting a wife for his son Isaac from the Canaanites but from his own kindred, without understanding the word kindred.

The word kindred, means that which is not only related by blood or marriage but that which is similar in QUALITY and CHARACTER. This clearly spells one thing; Family!

Now the dictionary defines family as a group of living things with common characteristics and common source. Going by this definition, we can conclude safely that character is tied to source, or better still, that it is a product of source or again, that source is responsible for character.

At a very tender age, Timothy began manifesting great exploits in the faith, so much that at seventeen, he had become the bishop over the church at Ephesus. It did not take Apostle Paul a long search in finding the source of Timothy’s character trait. It was from his mother and his grandmother. Most of Timothy’s abilities were hereditary; they were in his family line.

THE CONCEPTION AND THE INITIATION 

Content:

• What Marriage truly is, does or represents.
• Marriage Conception and initiation.
• What you are to do before saying Yes or No  

Gen. 24:2
And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh, that I may make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell, but will go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.” The servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?” Abraham said to him, “See to it that you do not take my son back there.

Until our generation awakes to the realization of all that marriage truly is, does, and indeed represents, not only shall we continue to treat it with kids gloves, we shall continue to experience the worse of its ravaging and life threatening blows.

One of the first things to know about marriage from CONCEPTION, as we begin to nurse the thought of it, is that it is an INITIATION, OH YES! A very strong INITIATION. Marriage initiates those who venture into it, it JOINS them to something, reason God calls it a JOINING. Marriage JOINS YOU not only to somebody but indeed to SOMETHING, something you may or may not be aware of. Hence the sense in scripture saying; "Whatsoever, (Not whomsoever) but WHATSOEVER God has JOINED TOGETHER..."

FINDING AND GETTING MARRIAGE RIGHT 
(catalog of all that a joyful, lasting and comforting marriage relationship)
  
Overview:

• Catalog of a joyful, lasting and comforting marriage.
• Secret to a comforting marriage.
• Conception and initiation of marriage.

Gen. 24:67
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac WAS COMFORTED after his mother's death.
Genesis 24:1-67 is indeed a catalog of all that a joyful, lasting and comforting marriage relationship represents. It covers everything, right from the conception of a marriage to the search, the finding, the proposal and the consummation of the marriage itself.

Several things in life can and have indeed been bequeathed; wealth, empire, estate, etc, but a good marriage? No!. No skill, carefulness, culture, character, education, wealth, power, fashion or beauty can offer this, a good marriage can only be given by God, the initiator of marriage.

Prov. 19:14
House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
