THE CHRISTIAN COUPLE IN MINISTRY.   WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 8
TEXT: ACTS 18:24-28                                                                                                       
Key Verse: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4
Marrying in God’s will is a perfect union on earth. Christian marriage is very fulfilling. It is based on God’s principles for the individual persons in the marriage and for the two (husband and wife) as married couple in the home. It brings out sweet oil in the ministry or in the service of God as expected of every Christian family. Holy and pure marriage is a shining light and a model to the world. Priscilla and Aquila in the book of Acts 18:26 were able to expose the word of God appropriately to Apollos, this shows that those two were in ministry together. The scriptures show that one will chase a thousand; two, ten thousand. The Christians in marriage need to understand this principle of God and apply it for better and effective ministry. The work of God in our days does not need rancour and crises in the life of a man and his wife in other to propagate the gospel of Christ in righteousness and in holiness. 
Every true believer who is married is called into the ministry and service of our Lord Jesus Christ one way or the other. In his or her vocation; whether personal, Business, Government organization or church, God expects a believer to represent Him there. Therefore the consciousness of the ministry must be carried along side by side with that job or vocation –care must therefore be taken by the man and his wife that Christ is seen in their lives and Home. Holiness and Righteousness must be practice in their home so as to show good example of the believer I Timothy 4:12-13 to children and neighbours in character, and in word. The proper saying goes that the Family that prays together stays together. The Family Altar is the number one target of the devil. Once couples no longer pray together extensively the performance of such family has been affected both in their endeavours and ministry. The Family Altar is essential to keep and maintain the couple and the family intact. Attention must be given to study of the word together in Fellowship. At home, church and other places of sprit filled fellowship. This will develop the couple and unite them in such a bond that cannot be penetrated by the devil or external forces. We saw clearly the case of Priscilla and Aquila who gave themselves to study of the word that is why they could reprove, teach, correct and enhance the knowledge of others in the word. The word of God builds you for you to build others.
Thought for the day: Couples who are devoted to God’s word are useful instruments for the Lord.
Song for the day: My wife shall be a blessing, my children around my table….

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 49-50; Hebrews 5

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
