Title: MARRIAGE MUST MULTIPLY YOUR STRENGTH, NOT DRAIN IT

Proverbs 31:3, Deuteronomy 32:30

Scripture warns, “Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings” (Proverbs 31:3). Marriage is either a multiplier or a destroyer of strength. God designed it so that one shall chase a thousand, and two shall put ten thousand to flight (Deuteronomy 32:30). But when you marry outside His will, the reverse happens: one who could chase a thousand becomes unable to chase even one. The wrong partner drains energy, focus, and zeal, while the right one multiplies them. That is why you must see marriage as a strength equation, not just a romantic arrangement.Adam was distracted by Eve’s compromise and fell. Samson lost his consecration because of Delilah. Solomon, despite his wisdom, was weakened by strange women until his kingdom crumbled. On the other hand, Aquila and Priscilla multiplied their strength together, becoming effective co-labourers in the Gospel. The difference was not personality but alignment with God’s purpose. Satan knows if he cannot stop you directly, he can sap your strength through your spouse. A drained man cannot lead, and a drained woman cannot help. Marriage must therefore be chosen carefully, with destiny and strength in view.Practically, singles must ask: “Will this person multiply or drain my strength in God?” Don’t let beauty, wealth, or pressure blind you to the truth. Sisters, don’t accept a man who pulls you away from prayer and consecration. Brothers, don’t marry a woman whose appetite is for vanity rather than destiny. If you are already married, deliberately realign your home. Pray together, fight distractions together, and ensure your union channels strength into your calling. A marriage that drains is a trap, but a marriage that multiplies strength is a fortress for destiny.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Is my relationship multiplying my strength in God or draining it? Am I choosing a partner who adds spiritual weight or one who subtracts from destiny?

Prayer: Lord, give me a marriage that multiplies strength. Deliver me from every union designed to drain my calling and zeal
