THE VOW—2

THE VOW OF PURSUIT

* BY NATURE, WE PURSUE WHAT WE DON’T HAVE.

THE VOW OF PURSUIT

VOW #1: I PROMISE THAT GOD WILL BE MY #1 PRIORITY AND MY SPOUSE WILL BE MY #2.

VOW #2: I PROMISE TO ALWAYS PURSUE MY TWO.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

united—dabaq (daw-bak’); cling or adhere; to catch by pursuit, pursue hard with affection and devotion.

DABAQ IS TRANSLATED

I follow close behind you… Psalm 63:8 TLB

…They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted. Job 41:17 NIV

They…pursued hard after them… Judges 20:45 KJV

* WE JUDGE OUR SPOUSE BY HIS OR HER ACTIONS AND OURSELVES BY OUR INTENTIONS.

CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN INTENTIONS AND ACTIONS

1) WHEN YOU THINK SOMETHING GOOD, SAY IT.

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

Hebrews 3:13

* Pursue her with words of affection.
* Pursue him with words of affirmation.

2) WHEN YOU THINK SOMETHING SPECIAL, DO IT.

Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins. James 4:17

3) WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BE IT.

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

Romans 12:2 NLT

* To get what you’ve never had, you must do what you’ve never done.

* To get what you once had, you must do what you once did.

Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. Revelation 2:5

CHRIST IS PURSUING YOU

Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? Luke 15:4
