My mom gets up every day at 3 am to talk to Jesus. I know that's it her prayers that have kept me going. My grandma taught my mom to talk to Jesus. A few weeks ago my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, last night my grandma was talking to Jesus and He told her He had healed her. All the pain is gone. We woke up at 3 am to talk to Jesus and thank Him. Please join me in thanking Him and making my grandma's miracle whole.

It’s mid-night in South Africa and we are here 🙋🏽‍♀️🫶🏽

I love the way Pastor Stephanie teaches us the word of GOD! She does it with authority, but with so much kindness. Her voice is so angelic. So soothing. It’s like she chastises us with pure love. I’m 50+ and I’ve been married 31 or 32 years. Child I can’t remember exactly. I stop counting. But one thing I do know, it requires hard work, a lot of understanding and patience and a heart filled with much love for your partner. I’m glad for this series, because I’m still learning. Because two things I don’t want to do is walk away for my marriage or disappoint GOD!! Blessings to you and your entire family pastor Stephanie.

This series is an answered prayer. I’m not married yet. Recently engaged and God has been ministering to my heart about marriage. Looking forward to this series.

Single people where are you at?

The wedding is an event but marriage is a journey

I’m getting married in August, this couldn’t have come at a better time! 💖

The number of Africans here🎉

Me and my fiancé just got ENGAGED on May 3rd, he proposed in Half moon bay, California. It was beautiful 🥹 We’ve been keeping God as our glue from the beginning of our relationship. This video couldn’t have come at a most perfect timing so Thank you for this 💕

Divorce can happen because sometimes people marry someone who was not ordained by God. His word says “I will create a helper that is suitable for you!” So I hope in your series you will talk about how to seek God and get confirmation to know that person is THE one ordained by God. Love you Pastor Steph! 🙏🏾

The Year of the Bride 🎉

“Wherever you align with the order of God, there is a blessing” ✍️

Marriage is a God ordained institution…I love that 💯

So many South Africans 🇿🇦 ❤ I’ve been pondering this because people won’t stop asking me why I am not married!😂

Thank you Jesus for Stephanie. I just discovered you from a podcast episode of girls gone bible recently. I can't believe I never knew you and your ministry before. You're truly a woman of God. I'm watching some other vids here on your channel, everything you say is just rooted in God's word. I get so much wisdom and conviction from everything that you share. And this series about marriage is very much needed for me to hear this season as I've been praying to God about my heart's desire to get married one day. Thank you and I already love you!

Oh what a word🙌🏼 Marriage is God’s idea, it is His Holy institution❤️

Amen!!! 29 yrs in and im here for it. We've spent a majority of our marriage fighting against one another because I now know there is a dying to self that must happen in Christ which also will give you the blue print of what the sacrifice of marriage is all about.... and if you're living in an unbalanced spiritual marriage like mine that gives us no excuse to still live a life which dies to Christ daily, AND to the marriage you are in. This is where I'm at, at this point and time. May God redeem the time we've wasted. Each day in this 29th year is new every morning as I first submit to Christ.

In other words , marry a man who is willing to honor you so that his prayers would not be hindered as his hindered prayers would also affect you

My fiancé and I are getting married June 1st. We were listening to this yesterday and it speaks to us because we’ve been shacking up and I have to admit that Pastor Stephanie is right about it opening doors for unwanted spiritual attacks. I love her series and it is teaching us a lot as we’re a young couple. He said he knew I was his wife the first day we met but due to circumstances like in Canada it’s so expensive to get married. A marriage license here is $175 which use to be $50. Churches are charging $1200 to do ceremony which the court house is charging $500. We have a big family but we are just doing something intimate with 50 people and honestly it all adds up to a hefty amount.

Who else clicked the like button before the 1 minute was over? 🥰 I so admire Pastor Stephanie

Watching from Australia 🇦🇺, Love how she pointed out people are not your standard, “ GOD is your standard”.

This is a blessing. No one thought is what marriage is all about. We had to observe family which wasn’t the best blueprint. Thank God for this revelation❤.

It will be exactly 12:00am here in Botswana 🇧🇼. Can't wait to hear the word 🙏🛐

I love it when the HOLY SPIRIT is ministering to me about a topic and then I get on KZfaq and discover my sister in the Lord has been given the same message . It blesses me all the time . And the timing spot on

It’s 3:31pm in Jamaica 🇯🇲 . I’m here for this word today.

Tuning in from South Africa 🇿🇦

London is in the house 🇬🇧it’s 23:30 here ❤

Oh, it'll be 1am Sunday in Kenya 🇰🇪 where I live. So I'll have to watch this after church during the day but I'm excited all the same! Thanks for the series and your obedience to God ❤🙏🏼 Enjoy your staycation!

Beautiful thank you so much Am just coming out of a 11 year relationship We have been cohabiting for six years The more a I grew closer to God our relationship got shaken I’m now believing God for a husband He cheated on me over all the years of being together I don’t know if I should ever take him back or not Please any one reading this pray for me for strength to either forget him or God to send me my husband

Getting married next year :) such a blessing to be here and listen to this message. It popped up at the right time God bless you Stephanie 🙏

This series is an answered prayer for me. Praise God for His constant love and faithfulness, for answering quickly when we call, for giving us clarity when we seek it from Him.

Truly your ministry is sent to a set of people of which I’m one of them. Thanks mummy, I honor the grace and calling of God upon your life. Shalom

Stephanie I found you via Girls Gone Bible and I was truly blessed by your story and testimony. God bless you as I am at a pivotal point in my life where God is heavily revealing so many things to me and God has been connecting to a path by having people whether physically or spiritually to show up in my life in this time to lead to the path of righteousness. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I am young & single,wanting building that strong foundation before I get into marriage. AMEN❤"a covanant is a covering" wow. I cannot wait for more videos on this series. "When a purpose of a thing is unknown abuse is invertible" wow this stuck with me.

Thank you Lord God for this anointed wife, mother and pastor. I got married at 21 and divorced by 24, I am now 52---- to understand marriage, if I'll ever get married again, is to understand its purpose❤ HOW WILL MY MARRIAGE BRING GLORY TO OUR GOD🙏🏾

It's 6:49 in South Africa ,tuning in before I go to church.❤

It feels like ...5,4,3,2,1 Happy New year 🎆😂 (it's midnight in Mzansi 🇿🇦)

5 am in South Africa 🇿🇦 I started praying for a husband 6 days ago so I’m looking forward to this series! Edit: I stopped. I am not ready.

Did anyone catch how her daughter seems to open a door or cabinet at the moment she says, "if the doors are open"? Epic😊

Just start listening…My only disappointment is the length of the video ..😢love listening to the teaching of Pastor Steph..can’t wait for part 2. May the Lord bless u..How can I sow into your podcast… this is my open door

This was beautifully done! Marriage is a covenant designed by God! 🕊️🙏🏾♥️

I Thank God for you sis . I am watching from South Africa and a person who is believing God for a Husband I was so blessed by your teaching. Wow 🤗🤗 I have learnt a lot already and I can't wait for part 2. God bless you 🙏🙏

Pastor Steph, I see people arguing about whether or not one should remarry after divorce. Oh, how I’d love to hear what you have to say on that! Maybe someday. Thank you for this series. 🧡🧡🧡

Amazing video! I was literally just checking the bible this morning to understand what God says about marriage and the role of a wife and a husband.

“People should not be your standard”❤

I love your passion and conviction about this topic! Thank you for pouring this wisdom into all of us ladies interested in learning about the marriage covenant 💗

I have been wrestling with the truth of what a marriage is and recently (literally yesterday) I asked the Lord to make it abundantly clear to me - and now, I encounter this video. My God!!!! I am so excited for this series. 🙏🏻💕

South African 🇿🇦 ❤

What a blessing of a teaching. Thanks for the reminder that when one has gone into marriage the wrong way, there’s still hope

God is indeed an on time God,God told you last year to make a series on marriage and a few weeks ago I’ve been asking God what marriage is and searching people I can watch but I didn’t want to listen to just anybody and you released this now. All Glory to God honestly🙌🏾🙌🏾

A minister sent to me, always with timely messages of and from the heart of the father 🥹♥️

I need all 6 parts of this series NOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Pastor Stephanie❤️ you’re the realest !!!!

I already cant wait for Pt2, Stephanie always explains things so beautifully. What an anointed woman!

I've been waiting for something like this !!! I'm so grateful God put this in your heart to share with the world !! This series is an answer to my prayers. I was literally asking God to teach me what he designed marriage to be, what a husband is meant to look like, what a wife is meant to look like, through Gods eyes and not through that of pain or what the world has decided.

I'm not looking out for marriage right now Lord, but Okay God, you led me here so I'm here. It won't hurt to prepare for the future.

i ain’t even married or close to marriage but anything by stephanie ike imma eat it up!

So I know I am not the only one thinking it but I sometimes wonder if Stephanie is not an Angel living among us. I am not even playing. This teacher is sent from heaven to live among humans to spread the word.

My best friend and I here i Zimbabwe , Africa love learning from you Big Sister Stephanie ❤ Thank you

I am in Kenya and am sharing this testimony, God taught me all you are saying and taught me exactly what you have said and I shared this today with my fiancee in the morning on the convenant. I was taught so much exactly in the order you are speaking. God is using you as a vessel in my life to confirm and stamp a lot of things. Please continue and God bless you.

I see South Africa showing so much love here to this beautiful word. Whoooooop whooooop!!! 😂❤️🤗

It’s 00:15 am, in Namibia, super excited.

This is exactly what I needed to see truly understanding what marriage is before I get myself into it looking forward to the rest ❤

I've been separated for 2 years, and every time I hear these messages I get emotional, I've been praying and believing that God has good plans for me

Love this series so much! I decided to start with the first video and looking forward to now listening to the others. Thanks pastor!!

This series really was an I opener! My husband and I are really at a rough spot right. I will apply these Godly principles and hope for the best!

When I tell you this is a God sent series. You have no idea!!! I have these questions while single and God has sent me answers. God bless you for your obedience ❤

The Lord is always ON TIME. Thank you God. Thank you Stephanie for your obedience

I’m preparing for my marriage It’s such a privilege to listen to this message. “Know that you’re making the Vow to God” Thank you ma you’re a blessing to this generation.

I love listening to Pastor Stephanie's teachings. It is just always the right thing to engage in. Thank you so much for yielding to the Lord. I love you, ma 💕. From Nigeria 🎉

Thank you for the message. I'm entering into marriage and the message is setting a good foundation. I'm grateful for the time and resources you have invested into the series.

Once again, Pastor Stephanie you are blessing me. And this time my husband as well. Thank you !!

I found it so informative and helpful. We thank God for the wonderful message. Thank you Ps. Stephanie Ike

Whenever there is an order of God, there is His blessing.❤

This is an AWESOME, practical teaching on marriage .

Looking forward to PART 2. Thank you so much Pastor Steph♡♡♡

Wow, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical not because I don't believe in pastor Stephanie's annoiting , I believe that she's an incredible pastor who hears God's voice and teaches us in the most loving and gentle way possible, was skeptical because she hasn't been married for a long time , but I was so wrong this series is fire, I really needed this especially since I am believing God to send me my God ordained husband. We are so blessed to have an incredible women like her leading us through this important topic .

Am grateful to God for this video i believe it's my time to get married this year and am believing God for my husband this year in Jesus's name i have prayed amen and believe Amen

Stephanie is so wise. I needed this.

The waiting is over for me now ready to hear the word praise the Lord 🎉🎉🙏✝️

Oh I just heard baby’s giggles 😂😍

The open door versus covenant policy for me...I feel blessed to have landed on this video.

Woman of God u bless us. From Uganda 🇺🇬

Sooooo excited about this series! Thank you Pastor Stephanie!❤❤❤

Thank you, sister in Christ! I needed this lesson on what marriage really is before I married my ex in 2006. We separated in 2019. Then, officially divorced in 2022.

Thanks u Pastor Stephenie Ike for sharing the Word of God on Marriage 💑

Thank God, it's my season❤

The holy spirit brought me here, i don’t know why i just decided to search, pastor steph, “marriage” This is heaven speaking, as a young lady, this teaching is happening at the time i need it the most🙏

Marriage is a beautiful union between two souls, a promise of love and commitment. A wedding is a celebration of this union, filled with joy, laughter, and shared memories. It marks the beginning of a lifelong journey together, facing challenges hand in hand and cherishing each moment with love and respect.

Thank you Stephanie. I have been specially touched by the fact that marriage is God's idea and an institution which he loves.

Yes Pastor Steph, we need more series from you❤ love to see it! Excited for your book as well! Hope you can do a series on dreams!

Watching from Australia.This is a very powerful message. I am believing for my sisters to have a Godly marriage.

I enjoyed part 1, powerful! Looking forward to part 2, right through to part 7. Thank you Pastor Stephanie.

I am here all for this I know. My husband and I are meant to be in this ministry to help marriages but we need to learn all these things as well. Thank you I can't wait for part 2 I'm so stoked 🙌 yes God

Thank you for this beautiful series you have begun. I am an engaged woman getting married next month and have I been this reminder.

I desire marriage but the truth is I didn’t know that a teaching about marriage is what i needed! Thought I heard it all before but this is different! This is God! Am single with two kids never married just with someone and my desire is to do this right! And here comes Stephanie with a timely teaching! Thank you Jesus! 🙏🏿….. 7 sessions and this is the first! Common God yesss ❤️…. Also God bless you and your family Stephanie ! Xx

I love you!!!!! Jesus has helped me so much through you!!!

Thank you so much Mrs Ike. I was just pondering on so many things that I only learnt when I started to journey with God. From understanding the importance of preserving myself, striving for a meek and gentle spirit which is deemed precious before the sight of God. And in all this, my outcry was who was supposed to teach me all these things growing up. We have seen such a deterioration of society that such knowledge and wisdom is not being passed on from generation to generation. I have such a lament for the upcoming generations. Hence, we appreciate such teachings because unless we walk in understanding, we will never fully embrace every area of life we embark on. May God continue to grow you in wisdom. Humbling to see fellow South Africans in the chat🇿🇦🙌🏻❤️

Thank you pastor Stephanie...am learning, can't wait for part two🙏

Can't wait, you are truly God sent.
