The Deep Truth About Marriage By Dr. D.K. Olukoya

Beloved, the topic we shall be exploring here is what I would like to dub “the dark hour message.” We need to understand it very well. The devil has erected a lot of mountains for man. However, every man’s mountain is the mountain of his ignorance. There are so many things that happen to us and when we try to find out the origin, we are thrown into puzzlement. But the Bible says, God reveals deep and secret things. He knoweth what is in darkness and also the light dwelleth in him. The issue we are looking at has caused the human race a lot of sorrow. Unfortunately, not many ministries, ministers or pastors understand or can adequately address it. But it the reason a lot of people are passing through terrible problems today.

AN ANCIENT PROBLEM

In Genesis12:10-20; Abraham went to Egypt to sojourn there. He agreed with Sarai to tell the Egyptians a lie that she was not his wife, but his sister. Truly, she was his half-sister but she had become more than that, she was now a wife. Abraham was afraid that the ungodly Egyptians would kill him, and snatch his pretty wife. Based on this half truth by Abraham, the King of Egypt captured the wife. The king gave Abraham unwanted gifts which he collected by force.

A SPIRITUAL LAW

The king had broken a spiritual law innocently but he still had to face the consequences. The king stole a wife and because of that, great plagues came upon his entire household. A stolen wife in a family can be source of trouble for the whole family and down the generational line. You need to pray seriously today, if your father had wives that are of your age. There are troubles that we put ourselves into without knowing it. 

IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE

Ignorance of spiritual law may not absolve the offender from chastisement. It is not an excuse. All kinds of gynecologist problems could be crop up when a woman is stolen into a household. Abimelech was still alive but as far as God was concerned, he was already a dead man, merely waiting for his last breath. From the moment he stole Abraham’s wife, he was dead man. God Himself bore the King witness that he was misled, but it was not an excuse. Abraham now had to pray for him, so that the good health and prosperity which he had enjoyed prior to this episode, could be restored and all other things which were wrong with his family.

People were going to be mourning their deaths at some point in time, when they should be celebrating their promotion, all because a wife was stolen. This is an area many of us avoid. It is an area that deliverance ministries don’t even touch, but it is a very serious and important area. A stolen wife can give you serious trouble that will affect the whole household. Gehazi’s covetousness brought a loathsome affliction not only upon himself but also on his seed. 

Many of us need to pray today until our voices hoarse, because this is a serious trouble. In some families, the men who stole wives are dead, but the problems created by sexual in satiety are still ravaging their seed. David had stolen Uriah’s wife, serious trouble began for him. 

There are many aspects of this stolen husband or wife business that concern us these days:

1. Where there is no bride price nor engagement or formal marriage and you are living with a woman, you are a thief.

2. Where you sleep with or live with a man or a woman, who is not your legitimate spouse.

3. When somebody is using prophetic manipulation, money, opposition to win a man or a woman.

4. All those who keep boyfriends and girlfriends. Marriage is for men and women not for boys and girls.

5. When you claim to be born again and spirit filled, and your marriage never received pastoral blessing.

6. When you commit fornication or adultery of the heart, with a member of the opposite sex.

7. When there is someone in your ancestry who stole a wife or a husband, the punishment flows down to you.

8. Whenever there is a marital unfaithfulness, that is any form of adultery, there is stealing taking place. 

9. All forms of polygamy.

10. If you are depriving a man or a woman of the full love of their spouse, by your unholy interference.

11. If you have ever indulged in rape.

There are prayers we need to pray. All of us need to think about this issue very well. We need to cry out to God today, so that we can be delivered from this issue that has brought sorrow and sadness, to many lives and marriages.

1. Every problem from my father’s house, emanating from stolen wives and stolen husbands, die in the name of Jesus.

2. Anointing of the bastard of my father’s house, die in the name of Jesus.

3. My father, if my putative father is not my real biological father, deliver me by fire in the name of Jesus.

4. Every secret curse working against my progress, die in the name of Jesus.

5. Every secret curse working against my destiny, die in the name of Jesus.

6. Every secret curse working against the realisation of my potentialities, in the name of Jesus.
