Growing Together in Grace: The Principle of Spiritual Growth in Kingdom Marriages
This Kingdom work is not a game.
It is the power of God here now and forever to help you through life, love, marriage and family. Spiritual Growth helps you get through tough times. For example, I watched my parents grow with the Lord over my 39 years on Earth.
From a Deacon to Minister, my father led his household to serve the Lord. All 6 of us children are baptized, and we all teach our kids about God’s grace and mercy. My mother, a minster too, preached at my father’s funeral as we sent our patriarch home.
My later Aunt, Pastor Mary, has seven children that know the Lord. My Aunt Lu was a woman of God who died in 2012, her son Lewis (Rickey) was my dad’s best friend and how my parents met.
Loving the Lord runs through my family.
My great-grandfather was an elder, my grandfather a minister, my grandmothers loved the Lord. Spiritual growth runs through my blood, and I teach my kids in homeschooling about the story of Christ Jesus. It is a legacy I hope to spread far and wide even with my national platform here today.
Thank you for being a part of this great work!
When we seek the Kingdom in our marriages there are laws and principles that help us on the way. This eSeries, we cover 5 laws and 5 principles with spirtual growth being the last. These are our guides with God the Holy Spirit to protect our social empires.
As we celebrate the resurrection season, we reflect on the sacrifices made and the hope that was restored on Good Friday. It is the perfect time to dive into the final principle of our Kingdom Marriage eSeries: The Principle of Spiritual Growth. Rooted in 2 Peter 3:18, this principle challenges us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
In Kingdom Marriages, spiritual growth is not just a concept—it's a continual journey that brings both individuals closer to God and closer to each other. Like the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us on Good Friday, spiritual growth in marriage requires surrender, love, and grace.
💡 What does spiritual growth look like in Kingdom Marriages?
Daily Prayer Together: Use moments of connection to pray for each other’s strengths and struggles.
Bible Study as a Couple: Dive into scripture that guides your hearts and actions.
Worship Together: Whether through singing hymns, attending church, or sharing gratitude, worship strengthens your spiritual bond.
🔥 Real World Examples of Spiritual Growth
Couples Facing Grief: I lost my dad, our kids’ grandfather and my brother, their uncle. Imagine a husband and wife who lost a loved one unexpectedly. That was us in February. It was a hard time for us, and we are still going through. Through our heartbreak, we commit to praying together every morning, asking for God’s peace and direction. We read, study, listen to sound teaching to help us grieve. In our shared pain, we find strength, leaning on scriptures like Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.”
Navigating Financial Struggles: A few years ago, we were overwhelmed by debt and decided to turn their burden over to God. We begin studying biblical stewardship together, setting goals based on Proverbs 21:20 and trusting God to guide their decisions. Our unity in tackling challenges becomes a powerful testimony of faith and helped us pay down credit debt.
Building Ministry Together: My late Bishop Brown and his wife served as my spiritual guides as a child into my early 20s. They felt called to serve our Baltimore community in our local church helping spread the Kingdom Message of God. By worshipping together and sharing their testimonies, they inspired others to embrace Kingdom principles in their marriages and families long after they went home to be with the Lord.
🌟 Tying It to Good Friday
On Good Friday, Jesus gave His life to reconcile us to God—an act of ultimate love and sacrifice. Similarly, spiritual growth in marriage requires the daily surrender of personal desires, choosing instead to nurture your relationship with God and each other. Like Christ’s act of redemption, spiritual growth transforms hearts, creating a foundation of love, grace, and forgiveness.
📚 Your Next Step: This Easter season, commit to growing spiritually with your spouse. Set aside time for prayer, dive into the Word together, and let worship guide your hearts. Remember, spiritual growth doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a journey that reflects God’s faithfulness and transforms your marriage into a beacon of hope for others.
Thank you for joining us on this journey of Kingdom Marriage principles. Let’s celebrate the resurrection with renewed faith and commitment!
