If the sister and the brother (in Christ) are 100% sure that God is the One leading them to each others in marriage, even if the age difference is 10 or 20 years, then they can go ahead with their wedding. Because God who is bringing them together knows the plans HE has for them (But the intending couple must be very sure and convinced beyond all doubt about their leading, that, it is from the Holy Spirit). For Nothing is impossible with God, HE can decide to give them longer years with good health. HE can decide to bring them together to fulfil a purpose and to glorify HIMSELF. HE alone is GOD, and there is no searching of HIS understanding.

You are correct, thanks.

have you ever seen age mates married and one dies in less than three years time? Or have you ever heard of a spouse becoming incapacitated a month after marrying their age mate?

Wow Great insight

This is good response,however, when the bible refers to tradition, there is only one tradition he refers to that aligns to tradition of heaven,that is tradition of the Jews. We MUST never give counsel with natural reasoning. Even when Paul gave his own counsel its because he has the spirit of God that understand traditions of heaven. That's why heaven has hierarchy that everyone must submit to abide in him. The bible doesn't talk to carnal people but address supposed spiritual man. Marriage is something anyone is forbidden to intermeddle with by God(even when the person is going the wrong way), he uses it for his glory. Parents( whether natural or spiritual) can give counsel on choosing partner but not compel. Except we can give us one example where such transpired in bible. Now,the instance given for age difference, I believe its wrong analysis if we are referring to spiritual persons walking by God's guidance,because age mates or grades can marry and loose their spouse after a year or short time,and join widows or widowers again waiting to remarry. It has nothing to do with very elderly person,though its obvious they have shorter time to live. Nevertheless, there are people God permit to marry for just one day,months or few years before the spouse dies,just to bring them into that family tie. Its a grave crime before God for any to meddle with marriage beyond mere counsel. When John the baptist tried that,he died young as beheaded and Jesus didn't bat an eye lid because he understands how that mystery works. When Samson was going the wrong way of marriage against his parent's advise,they didn't resist him but even followed him for the ceremony( even when they didn't know it was God pushing him to do so,to find occasion against the philistines .God used it for his glory. When Isaac and Rebecca advised their sons to marry from their mother's brother's house and Esau refused and did otherwise, they didn't disown him even though his wives grieved the heart of Rebecca. It gave Jacob the opportunity to inherit the two wombs of the two sisters that finally secured him an eternal inheritance. Leah was supposed to be wife of Esau,since he didn't go there, Jacob married the two because he inherited both Esau's and his own birth right. When Rebecca wanted to marry, his brother had no say except her consent. Marriage is God's greatest weapon against the enemy,good or bad and doesn't like meddlers in that affair. Caleb was supposed to be the prince( first born,more honourable than all his brethren) of Judah as he was as at the time of going to spy the promised land,but as at the time of entering the promised land he already fell ( no longer son of Judah)from that pedestal to a Kenezite,because of marriage matters ( Ephratha)without God's direction. But can migrate back upward as he did. Ruled as Asher on earth,and once as King Asa in the heavens( Judah). Bible called marriage of believers a mystery,he alone can unravel,and not what unbelievers do. Unbelievers don't marry,they cohabit( not about ceremonies) and free to disengage when they want. With believers its different,only when spouse dies physically OR SPIRITUALLY. In marriage, God is only interested in merging SEED, not age bracket. If the seed crossing is in widow or widowers, old or young,you must not forbid it,or at your peril. Boaz was very far different in age to Ruth,yet that was the perfect match. After Sarah died,Abraham married much younger woman that gave birth to more children. According to tradition of Jews,even elderly widows are still entitled to a husband like Naomi should have,and can marry younger men,because its a privilege because of treasures they carry. Tarmar ,daughter in-law to Judah was supposed to wait for the last child to grow and marry her( there is a why),but was subverted and led her to play the prostitute with her father in law ( counted as a righteous deed). That's why we must humble ourselves to listen to the spirit of Christ that shall bring us to the knowledge of all truth,else we stumble in ignorance. Any spirit pushing any to meddle with marriage is not of God and we must flee from that temptation. Even the vows often read out at the alter was not instituted by God but man-made, because its the two parties or the families ( according to tradition) that decide what to request as price to give away. And if marrying under Christ,him decides the bride price ( what you must do)required from him to give away his own bought with a price. Believers don't marry according to yardstick of the world. Its a more spiritual thing. Scripture made it clear in Malachi that God ordained marriage to SEEK A GODLY SEED. So,is it age difference that should deter that arrangement? Even some heathens collected godly seed that need to be snatched,so God can permit one to enter that marriage( as pure) and come out loaded. Its unbelievers that drag physical inheritance in marriage. Believers don't go out of marriage empty,you rather leave them empty. A holy widow is even purer than a virgin. These are hidden mysteries,if we don't understand it,we leave things as it is. Any age can marry. If lead to marry a sick person,its not a general law but exclusive to you,pursue after. Such might just be used to collect a treasure before the other dies,or the obedience heals the other. Those who have built good tradition is of the earth,not heaven. Heaven is free and not governed by tradition, but reveal tradition of heaven. Its not bad to be of the earth,just that our works did not merit heaven. If we then want a portion in heaven, we must align under the portion left to be joined to one in heaven. MARRIAGE IS SPIRITUAL AND MUST NOT BE MEDDLED WITH.

It's not right, my opinion though!

Sorry the Pastor's only defended his unscripturally imposed rule on marriage. Read your Bible madam. What is the age difference between Isaac and Rebecca? After Sarah died, didn't Abraham re-married? What is the age difference between Keturah and Abraham? When the daughters of Zelophed had an issue with inheritance sharing. They were to marry 'whoever they want', but must be from their Father's tribe. Note that there was no age restriction. God knows the importance of marriage and did not put any age restriction anywhere? There's no where in the Bible where the word of God restricts marriage base on age difference. Can you be more catholic than the Pope? Innocent people who have prayed and got the leading of God on marriage are blocked by so called established church tradition that is alien to the holy scriptures. Are you God who leads, who they pray to and who knows why He's bringing them together? The role of the church in marriage should be limited to counseling anything outside that is unbiblical.You don't make rules to block intending couples based on your carnal human reasoning. The Pastor should have accepted the rule as a gross mistake but went ahead to defend his draconian and dictatorial rule that has no place and history in the Bible. Do you know how many people that have dropped out of faith due to that restriction? Do you know how many have fallen into immorality as a result of that rule? Do you know the pains, delays, shame and reproach and terrible ordeal that some precious saints of God have gone through because of the unsriptural tradition? Do you know how many that have lost their soul in hell as a result of that unfortunate man- made doctrine? Where the scriptures are silent and allow freedom I think we should allow it to be rather than playing God. Marriage is designed by God to achieve mutual protection, partnership, procreation and procreation and pleasure. How can someone brazenly deny his fellow traveller (on the way to heaven) these precious things knowing their importance? By putting this video here, you have further exposed the wickedness and oppression going on inside a supposedly church of God. I think churches should allow the Spirit of God to operate rather than creating draconian rules on issues the scriptures have allowed freedom. What churches have forgotten is God's final judgement. No matter how big we are, there is no automatic gate pass for anyone to heaven. You cause pains and tears to people and you think God will applaud you? I think the church should seek the happiness and fulfilment in their members. You don't even care the impact of your actions on them and you think this is christianity. If Christ were to physically handle this issue of marriage, you think he will do the same thing your pastor is doing? Some pastors have grown so high that even when they are clearly wrong, no one is courageous enough to correct them among their followers. They are like the 'Queen who can do no wrong'. Pastors' are not always right and yet they hail them even when their decisions and actions are wrong and causing avoidable pain. Like in Deeper Life, who is courageous enough to seek to have a heart - to- heart discussion on age restriction on marriage with the Overseer? I guess no one. The most important thing is to prepare people for heaven. Anything decision that has the potential to destroy that goal should be discarded. Personal opinions should be set aside when God leads by His Spirit and the word of God should be our final arbiter. I pray God open the eyes of your pastor and others before it's too late. Shalom!

All these young generation people that argue a lot, proving that they know much, Pastor kumuyi is not wrong. He is pointing at the reality of the present day. It's left for the couples to see reality when making decisions because marriage of the present day has a stage called THE REALITY STAGE

Sorry marriage is a personal issue. Even God didn't make such obnoxious law about marriage. Check your Bible. God is concerned about maintaining purity in marriage and it's processes. Creating age restriction is authority taken too far on a matter of personal significance.
