| yoked with unbelievers? |

Well I see how this is a big problem for christians.How do we witness to the non believer and not be yoked with them.Some say this is referring to marriage.Yes it is for sure.But it is also for the singles as well.We can be dating someone who is a non believer.Or we can as christians be close to those who r not saved.To be yoked with someone or something is the same as the way a farmer yokes his oxen together.He doesn't put an oxen and a pig together or a horse and a dog.These r not compatable together.A farmer always put the same animlas together cause they always work well together.
I've been told that the farmer will use an oxen with a little more experience with a newer one who needs to learn how to work as a team.The the stronger one(more experienced one) knows where and what the farmer wants him/her to do.He/she trains the other one.Together they make a great tema.Cause the younger one has a lot of strength that needs to be harnest and taught how to use their strength in the way it's suppose to use it.
If u were yoked with a nonbeliever it would drag u down and u wouldn't learn how to bwe used by God properly.A 3 stranned cord is not easily broken.God wants us to have fellowship with His children and to work together as a team.Working as a team to win the lost.If u r easily swayed get together with a stronger christian who will lead u in a closer walk with the Lord.As u grow and become stronger God will lead the nonbelievers to Him thru u.U need to become strong in the Lord so u won't fall into any traps set by the enemy.He has set traps for us to fall away fron God.One way is to be unevenly yoked with a nonbeliever.
Now if u r married to someone and they r not saved and u r don't leave unless the Lord tells u too.I was married to a man who said he was saved.It turned out that he wasn't living for the Lord with all his heart.I stayed with him cause of where it says in the word how do I know that he would not come to the Lord because of my just behaviour.The word says also if he/she is unfaithful u r allowed to leave.That doesn't mean that u can just leave over a little matter.U r obligated to try to make the marriage work.I left from the word of the Lord.He told me to "run,run for ur life".My life was in danger.Also he was unfaithfuil to me (committed adultery and was abusive-he tried to kill me and almost succeeded).
Some ppl r out there r looking for an easy way out.Or they marry someone whose not a believer for the sake of not being alone.I must worn u that this is not Gods way for u to behave.Seek God and listen for an answer on if u r to be married to the one u r with.before u get married.Save urself alot of trouble befreo u marry and really seek God if this is the one ur to be yoked to forever.God's intent is for a marriage to last for ur lifetime.Don't settle for just anyone so that u won't be alone.God has a special somebody out there for u and He will bring them to u when it's His timing.I know from experience of the heartache that it causes to go by how u feel.I am learning to be patient and wait for the one God has for me.There r lots of men/woman out there.But only one is the one God has for u.So stop looking for the wrong one.Wait for the one God has special one that God had planned for u from the beginning of time.Read Psalms 139.This will show u how God looks at u and what He thinks of u.God loves u and wants only the best for u.He knows the plans that He has for u(Jeremiah 29:11).God blees all who read this with the truth of what u want for them and their lives.
6:14 Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? |
