A quote from the book { Chapter One : Abominable Things A Minister of God Should Not Do }

''Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.'' Hebrews 13:4

Marriage is the greatest institution of God on earth, it is imperative that every minister of God should hold marriage in high esteem .God does not want us to pursue ministry at the expense of marriage , nor should we forsake our spouse for the sake of ministry .

Every minister of God should give the highest honour of priority to God first ,then marriage second . We serve the Lord better in an environment of marriage , in the company of our spouse. This is important to note , that is why we need to take heed to handle our marriage in the midst of ministry .

The word of God admonished the priest to get married , ''13And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.'' Leviticus 21:13 -14

In another verse , scriptures give qualifications for the man of God ,and one of them is marriage . ''A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife,'' 1 Timothy 3:2 In the light of these scriptures , we notice that it is important that every minister of God should get married .'
