Since creation, our Creator had introduced division of labour into the system of running the universe. He has his own roles to play and He never failed to act well His part anytime, anyway and in anyplace. He also does this by any means that He chooses. He is unquestionable.
In His infinite wisdom, the Lord apportioned roles to be played by mankind who He had created. He will never allow man to perform His role, he has not the resources to do so. In the same way, He will not condescend so low to take over the responsibilities assigned to man. Everyone to his own roles.
It was the Lord who is the Author of marriage. He initiated and helps in maintaining it.
You can read about the birth of the first home in the book of Genesis 2:4:25. However, a negative twist was introduced into marriage by the fall of man in the garden of Eden in Genesis chapter 3. This was how troubles started in the lives of mankind.
Since that time, so many twists have been introduced that reduced marriage or a home to a “Tolerating Centre” rather than a “Place of comfort” or a “Place of pleasure”. In many homes, comfort, pleasure, joy and happiness have all evaporated into the thin air.
Have you examined your life and home? Is there any area where it is not bearing fruits at all or the fruits are sour? Is it bearing diminishing fruits each day. Do not lose any hope. You can fertilise the land of your home. No matter the extent of its barrenness, there is a fertiliser that can take care of it. You only need to know it, get and apply same. The result will be amazing.
The land of many homes have become barren, and the trees (man, woman & children) planted in it are fruitfulness. Let me remind you of the areas where the Lord expect man to be fruitful. This is contained in Genesis 1:28 thus, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
Now, let us “limit” our discussion here to “Be fruitful, and multiply” A barren land does not give room for fruitfulness and multiplication. There is no way trees on such land yield as the Lord had commanded. They will disappoint God and He will not be glad with them.
To God be the glory, for every barren land, there is a way out. There is a solution. “Every wise woman buildeth her house but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Proverbs 14:1. King James Version. When Jesus spoke of a proverb on a fig tree without fruits, the owner wanted to cut it down the gardener said,
“Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it and dung it. And if it bear fruit, well: and after that thou shall cut it down. Luke 13:8-9. KJV.
How do you know the source of the right fertiliser for your marriage?
“Lord, what do you want me to do? Confirm an answer to such question in Acts 9:6-18. You will surely receive an answer. Go ahead and apply the fertiliser.
The next thing is to ask yourself, “Am I ready to fertilise the land of my home?”.
Be sure of this, “Whosoever keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof, so he that waited on his master shall be honoured.” Proverbs 28:18.
Wisdom is the principal thing. Make use of wisdom, it is the fertiliser that you need to improve the productivity of all trees on the land of your home.
Stay blessed and prepared to meet the Lord.
