Monday's Marriage Moment -- This is Our Year of Agreement!

You will also declare a thing,

And it will be established for you;

So light will shine on your ways.

-Job 22:28

I am beginning this year's blog post with decrees and declarations. The bible tells us in the scripture above that we can decree things and see them established on the earth. I want to see God's will and purpose established in the life of every individual and every couple I encounter so I am standing on this promise for all of us today! 

So, I decree that this is our year of agreement! I know that may not sound exciting to you, but it has me in eager anticipation! Agreement means alignment, unity, and harmony -- it's the state when people or groups are on one accord. It seems obvious that our marriages should be harmonious and filled with agreement, but that is not always the case. I believe we lack agreement with our spouses because we are not in total agreement with God. But this is the year that all of that changes.

I decree that this is the year that you will agree with God completely! This is the year that you will agree with what He says about you! This is the year that you will agree with what He says about your marriage. This is the year that you will fully accept your role as wife or as husband, and this is the year that you will live out the biblical expectations of that role! This is the year that you will agree with your spouse in prayer! This is the year that you will agree with your spouse in purpose. As a matter of fact, you will accept your role to push your spouse into purpose. If they have a business or ministry, you will sow your time, energy, and resources into making it prosperous and blessed. Realize that as they are blessed you are blessed and stand in agreement with that! This is the year that you walk as one as God ordained! This is the year that you realize that your covenant has power and purpose!

This is the year that you agree with God's plan for your life! Even though this agreement with God may sometimes cause distance from people, I decree that you will agree with God anyway! May God grant you the strength and tenacity to remain faithful to what He says no matter what! This is the year that your agreement with God is going to take you further faster but because you agree with Him you will be prepared! 

I decree that no matter how unreachable the goals seem, scary the step feels, or out of your comfort zone the call looks, this is the year that you agree with God about it and move forward boldly. This is the year! 

Will you agree with me?
