    TEACHING ON DIVORCE

    TEACHING ON DIVORCE Matthew 19:3-9 said “the Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He said unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another; commits adultery: and whoso marries her who is put away does commit adultery”.  Marriage has been a great topic of concern in Christianity with lots of questionable dimensions that people are striving for answers. Among the numerous dilemmas in marriage is the bases on which a man could divorce his wife. For this reason many people refer to what Jesus said in Matthew 19:9 that no man shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication to be the only bases for divorce. And the question that follow is, is fornication the only sin in marriage? This brings us to the thought that there is a mystery to the answer Jesus gave to the Pharisees. This is because aside the grievous effect of a wife getting pregnant for another man and putting it on her legally married husband, there are other dangerous acts that could even be seen more heart breaking than fornication. For example, if a man finds out that his wife has poisoned his food or drink, or the wife uses their child for rituals against the man’s faith and/or will, what should the husband do? Based on the preceding paragraph, everyone will be in dilemma as to whether to be with an ingrate or an evil befouled wife. As to this confusion in reality, many lives have been lost through marital quashes. Others too are emotionally traumatized and are praying if it could be possible, their partners fornicate so that they can get a biblical justification for divorce. This is evidenced that, many people are in hell living marriages. So if there is no mystery to what Jesus said in Mat 19:9, then the word of God would be unfair to men at a point where a life is threatened to death through marital issues and the man cannot divorce except on the grounds of fornication. Wives may also take advantage of this and misbehave towards their husbands without any fear. As a result, there are many pending marital issues before marriage counselors and other notable figures in churches and communities awaiting solutions. These elders may notice during their interrogations that the couple in question are not compatible and their stay together may pose future threat but the counselors would base the counseling on the saying that except it be for fornication divorce is not allowed and what God have put together no man put asunder. Am not trying to justify divorce on any grounds, as the Pharisees asked in Mat 19, but I want us to understand the spirituality of what Jesus said. Because when it comes to the issue of marriage, it is a man that makes his choice based on his flesh desires which will be associated with its own problems. What believers should know is that, what Jesus said was a parable which needs to be interpreted. Because, for God to affixed the condition for divorce on the grounds of fornication will make marriage to be unpalatable to the extent that couples may behave in any awkward way without fear of divorce. Therefore, we must be circumspect with the application of the word of God in critical issues like marriage. This is because the word of God is Spirit and without using spiritual lenses, one cannot interpret God’s word. Without viewing things in their spiritual form one will be misled by the devil. From the passage we could notice that even the Disciples of Jesus were confused about the answer He gave to the Pharisees, so they said, if the case of the man be so to divorce his wife only on fornication, then it is not good to marry (Mat 19:10).  This means the Disciples were also thinking as the Pharisees. So, if there is no mystery to what Jesus said in Mat 19:9, then could it have been that Jesus gave a wrong answer? But we all know that God is not altar of confusion, so to clear the minds of the Disciples, Jesus said (Mat 19:11) all men cannot receive this saying, but to whom it is given.  It is therefore clear that the sayings in verse 9 are not for mere mortals, but for people of spiritual discernment and the answer to the Pharisees is meant for people who are spiritually descended. So let us take a look at what Jesus said in its spiritual form by reading Isaiah 54:5 which said, for your Maker is your husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. So in answering the Pharisees, Jesus was referring to marriage between God and man; an eternal relationship and not the marriage of man and a woman. Hence if our maker is our husband, then there is no other marriage anywhere except the marriage of God and Man. So from the passage, Jesus’ answer was in reference to God as husband and man the wife. But due to lack of knowledge of what Isaiah said, the Pharisees, the Disciples, and many people in Christendom today are still confuse on issues of marriage and divorce. As Jesus said that divorce is allowed except on the bases of fornication, we must therefore understand what fornication is in this context. If God is our Husband and we worship other gods, it means we have gone in for another husband or we have fornicated and per that God shall divorce us. Therefore fornication in that context means worshiping other gods (that is going in for another husband in place of God). And because God is a jealous God, He commanded us in Exodus 20:3 that man shall have no other gods before Him. So sinners or unbelievers are worshiping other gods. That is why they see themselves as sinners before God. A reading from Hosea 2:19 also confer God as our husband. It reads “and I will betroth thee unto me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies”. This statement in Hosea is a reflection of what Jesus told the Disciples in Matthew 19:11. Jesus was projecting the righteousness of God through marriage in his statement as Hosea also said. We will also notice that what Jesus said, that the answer he gave was not for everyone, and is true. He was speaking to righteous people and not unbelievers or sinners. God married us by making us righteous. And since every marriage is sealed by paying the bride price, God pay for us with His Son Jesus Christ. 1Co 6:20 says, for ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.  So any inheritance or name that was on us that we carried from our parent Adam and Eve through their disobedience was wiped off by the bride price (Jesus Christ) paid for us. And this is the recognized marriage that God have established for every man. Anyone who is not married to God through Christ has fornicated and God does not see that person as a wife. This was what Jesus told the Pharisees about their relationship with God, but because they had hardened their hearts they could not descend what Jesus said, just like many people today. My dear reader, you are the wife of God, He paid a ransom (which Jesus Christ) to have you and He will only divorce you if you fornicate (worship other gods). The marriage between a man and a woman is for flesh satisfaction and procreation which does not make us righteous except our marriage (relationship) with God. AMEN
