A Call To Fight To Finish
Life is a battle. There is no realm where the battles of life are more pronounced than the realm of marriage. Marriage is not a joke. You can succeed in other areas of life with ease. But, you need a great deal of effort to succeed on the field of marriage. Negligence is costly when it comes to the
area of marriage. It is indeed true that as you lay your bed so you will lie on it. Failure to put a solid foundation in place will jeopardize the building called marriage.
The kind of marriage you choose is the kind of marriage you will get. Your attitude to marriage will affect the kind of marriage you will get. When you seriously and painstakingly erect a solid foundation for your future in the area of marriage, you will reap huge dividends in the years ahead. Therefore, you need to take cognizant of the fact that the effort you put into preparations for your marriage will eventually pay off. On the other hand, carelessness or negligence will also yield their fruits accordingly. I earnestly plead with you to meticulously take note of the entire contents of this book. What you are going to read from cover to cover will have a positive impact on you now and in the future. Of all areas of life, marriage is one area where you cannot fiord to play games.
When you pursue the goals of marriage sincerely and vigorously, you will enjoy the benefits as long as you live.
I have a serious burden for those who are undertaking the crucial journey to the realm of marriage. This journey is not the type that you can embark on with
your eyes closed and your mouth shut. Those who have decided to be deaf and blind have fallen into the ditch of marital accidents. The watchword is; watch! Be alert and avoid carless mistakes. Those who neglected the hunter’s whistle have been devoured by the wolves that beseech the field of marriage. Good preparation, keen watchfulness and giving meticulous attention to divine instructions will save you from becoming one of the preys of the terrible powers that have destroyed several homes today. No matter how tough a situation is, you will survive the topsy-turvy conditions of marriage. The moment you combine your personal efforts with divine resources, which are already made available to you, you will discover that your marriage will become a source of pleasure and joy rather than a source of pain and regret.
SERIOUS CHALLENGES
The challenges of marriage, though numerous, can be handled when you invite God into the journey of your marriage here is nothing God cannot handle. There is no situation in the realm of marriage that is ever beyond the strength and wisdom of the Almighty.
Once you align yourself with God, you form an unbeatable team. The battle of marriage will be fought and won.
The grey areas will be handled effectively through divine wisdom. God will make your home heaven on earth. You shall not record failure or casualty. God will be there for you when you need help and divine intervention. You will receive the blueprint that will make your marriage the brightest and the best.
Take note of this beloved, you must be prepared to put in place the necessary ingredients that will ensure a successful marriage. However, the first step that you ought to take is to begin with preparations in the areas of prayer. The arena of marriage has been bombarded with repeated battles. There is no marriage that does not face battles. Right from the beginning of every godly marriage, the kingdom of darkness often comes up with battles. As the journey progresses, battles increase. Knowing God’s will is fraught with battles because the devil determines to induce failure instead.
Obtaining parental consent, in some cases, is a battle. There are battles during courtship period. Battles are fought even on the day of the wedding. By the time the couple settles down and begins to establish a new family, there will be lots of battles to contend with. The period of child-bearing and child training are times of intense battles too. To raise children from their infant years till they grow up as adults you will need to fight some battles. It does not make any sense whatsoever for anyone to undertake the journey into marriage without being prepared to give what it takes in order to win the battles entailed thereof. As far as God is concerned, you are destined to have a smooth and a successful marriage. However, this can only be achieved when you pray your way through the various milestones of-this great journey.
The more prayer effort you put into your marital plans, the more you will succeed at reaching the peak of marital bliss.
Even if you assume that there are no problems on the way, you should still pray.
THE WEAPON OF PRAYER
You cannot pray enough when it comes to the issue of marriage. The more you pray the greater your chances of achieving a glorious marriage. Prayer gives you the opportunity to draw upon divine resources. Prayer will enable you to bring out the best in and obtain the best from your partner.

Prayer will prepare you to be your best as you plan for and work towards establishing a godly family Prayer will prepare your heart to receive divine directions. Prayer will safeguard your steps and grant you wisdom as you undertake steps to actualize your dreams.
Prayer will open the treasures of financial resources for your home. Prayers will silence every opposition that is being put in place by the powers of your father’s house. Prayer will give you peace and assurance. Prayer will shut the

If you want your marriage to beat the best and be the best, try prayers today God is waiting for you at the altars of prayer. There are certain revelations you cannot receive until you begin to pray There are certain battles you cannot win until you make use of the artillery of prayer. As far as marriage is concerned, prayer is the master key When you pray, the undesirable partner shall become desirable. Unavailable resources shall become available. Even if you feel that you are too old to get married or whether your marriage has gone too far for some necessary remedy, God will press the fast forward button for your sake. You will not only get married with speed, the benefits of marriage shall be delivered to you miraculously. Herein lies the secrets of a glorious marriage.
Prayer is the only force in the universe that can add value to your marriage.
When you pray, even those around you will find it difficult to understand the secrets behind your uncommon success. No wonder the Bible says
Luke 18:1
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
DEEP WARFARE
When you talk about prayer in marriage, we are not referring to insipid cold or
mechanical prayers. Right from the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of God suffereth violence the and violent taketh by force. The spiritual part of marriage requires Holy aggression. The devil has declared war against every godly marriage right from the Garden of Eden. Even if you are not ready to fight, the devil is an incurable fighter. There are terrible anti-marriage forces that breathe cruelty and spread violence coupled with wanton destruction in every life or home they visit. You are, therefore, given no option. You must fight to conquer. You must do battle to overcome. You must make up your mind that you shall experience the type of marital success which no one in your lineage has ever achieved. With the weapon of prayers, you are an overcomer. I challenge you to go into battles right now.
You must fight if you want to possess your possessions. You can only make the enemies to submit and bow, when you pray. There is nothing anybody can do about it. The battle has already started. You are contending with an enemy that can neither be begged nor cajoled. The only language the enemy understands is the language of violence. You must fight for your freedom. The Bible says
Genesis 27:40
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
In breaking the satanic yokes attached to your marriage, it goes beyond making positive confessions; it has to involve an ‘enough is enough’ readiness in the place of prayer. Even if you are an expert in phonetics and queens English, anti-marriage yokes cannot be broken until you have dominion. Let me tell you this secret beloved, the spiritual realm rules the physical.
When you break through obstacles in your marriage in the spiritual realm, you shall experience ease and freedom In the physical realm.
Herein lies one of the deep ordinances of heaven. The dominion you obtain in the spiritual realm will be the amount of dominion which you will enforce on earth.
I want you to read the passage below repeatedly.
Job 38:33
Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
When you know the ordinances of heaven, you will achieve uncommon dominion in your marital journey When you grasp the truth of heavenly ordinances, no power from the kingdom of darkness will be able to mess up with your marriage. You need to pray and give the devil a shock treatment. What is the best way of handling battles in the area of marriage? Let us go back to the beginning.
Revelation 12:7-9
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Just as there was war in heaven, there is war along the pathway of anyone travelling on the highway of marriage today The only response that will save the day is to face the devil squarely and tackle him weapon for weapon and fire for fire. Heaven’s response to satanic rebellion or revolt is that Satan was fought to a standstill and cast out. The only way you can win the battle against your marriage is to fight. When Lucifer was thrown out of heaven, there was peace. Beloved, whatever has to be thrown out of your life in order to enable you achieve peace and success in your marriage shall be thrown out by fire, in the name of Jesus When you begin the battles of marriage, you must not be tempted to stop halfway. You must fight until victory is won.
