✨ When Love Sings His Praise –
Episode 10: The Wedding & the Commissioning ✨
The long journey that began in the university chapel now stood at its glorious climax. But before the joy of union, Daniel and Deborah would face one final test.
The Days Before
The days leading up to the wedding were filled with both excitement and turbulence. Deborah’s father still resisted. Though Cynthia’s confession had cleared Daniel, Chief Williams found it difficult to swallow his pride.
“My daughter cannot marry a village boy,” he muttered one evening.
But Deborah, standing firm, replied, “Father, this is not just about love. It is about destiny. If you stand against him, you are standing against what God Himself has ordained.”
Her boldness shook him, yet his heart wrestled with pride.
Meanwhile, Daniel knelt in prayer at midnight.
“Lord, I have nothing to give but myself. No wealth. No name. Only Your calling. If You have truly brought us this far, then seal it with Your glory.”
The Wedding Day
The chapel was packed beyond measure. Students, lecturers, pastors, and even strangers filled the hall. A choir of hundreds gathered to sing. The air was electric with anticipation.
Deborah walked down the aisle in a gown simple yet radiant, her steps steady, her eyes fixed on Daniel. He stood at the altar in a borrowed suit, his heart pounding like a drum.
The chaplain spoke with authority:
“This union has been tested by fire, purified through trials, and proven by the Word of God. What heaven has joined, let no man put asunder.”
When Daniel and Deborah exchanged vows, the atmosphere shifted. A sudden rush of wind moved through the chapel, and many testified later that they felt heaven’s presence descend tangibly.
The Commissioning
But the wedding was not just a union—it was also a commissioning. After the vows, the chaplain paused and said:
“The Lord spoke to me in prayer. This couple is not just being joined in marriage. They are being released into a generational assignment.”
He anointed them with oil as the congregation lifted their voices in worship.
“You shall sing to nations,” he declared. “You shall heal the broken through your music. You shall be shepherds of His people.”
Deborah wept. Daniel trembled. They both felt the weight of destiny being placed on their shoulders.
Chief Williams’ Surrender
As the service ended, Deborah’s father stepped forward. Tears filled his eyes—a sight no one thought possible.
“Daniel,” he whispered, voice cracking, “I see now. You are more than enough for my daughter. You are God’s chosen. Forgive me.”
He embraced Daniel, and the hall erupted in praise. It was more than a reconciliation—it was a testimony of God’s grace breaking the hardest heart.
The Journey Ahead
Their honeymoon was not in some exotic country. Instead, they spent it in a small mission station outside Lagos, serving the poor, singing to villagers, and praying for the sick.
Little did they know, videos of their wedding worship had already gone viral, touching hearts across the world. Invitations soon poured in from nations. Within a few years, “Daniel & Deborah Ministries” became a global name, with albums, crusades, and countless souls turning to Christ.
Closing Note
But they never forgot where it all began—not in fame, not in riches, but in a small chapel, with a guitar and a voice raised in worship.
And through every stage of life, they carried the same prayer:
“Lord, let our love forever sing Your praise.”
📖 Scripture to Reflect On:
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” – Ephesians 2:10
🙏 Prayer:
“Father, refine my love and my calling through the fire of trials. Make my life, my marriage, and my destiny an altar that sings Your praise to generations.”
💬 Engagement Question:
Do you believe God can use relationships not just for companionship, but as a platform for global assignment?
