MARRIAGE IS SACRED     SATURDAY DECEMBER 2
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 7:3-5                                                                                        
Memory verse:
Marriage is God ordained institution and therefore must be held sacred. Believers, church leaders and the clergy must see marriage as a holy thing and should not be handled with carelessness because marriage is one of the strong pillars of the Christian doctrine. Marriage should be well presented and well understood before going into it by intending couples. The family unit is the smallest number that constitutes the Church known as the Body of Christ and the society at large. Therefore constant prayer, caution and care must be taken that this small member of the Church which came as a result of marriage is not destroyed. Peace in the marriage is peace in the Church. Blessing in the family is blessing in the Church. So the man who is the husband, father and head of the family should follow Biblical principles for marriage not the traditional principles to rule his home. And the woman who is the wife and mother must also follow suit to assist in administering the family in her marriage to the well being of her husband, children and members of her household. And the children see that they reverence their parents in the Lord.
Obedience to God’s words in marriage brings benefits as follows-: Children are brought under subjection not wayward; there is family promotion not retardation; increase not decrease; Hope in life not depression; an example of the believers in Christian marriage not a reproach. That is as an epistle to the world, the neighbours, friends, and colleagues. This good example is not for the benefit of others only who see us but for our souls’ sake, because our souls in the marriage could be lost and face eternal damnation. He who made and instituted marriage demands obedience to this commandment the foundation to every good marriage is marrying in Christ. For every solid building depends on its foundation so is every good marriage and a Christian home. It is through marriage that the law of multiplication, dominion and fruitfulness can be achieved –that marriage must fulfil the will and purpose of God through Christ.   
Thought for the day: Three vital guiding principles: For God’s sake; for your soul’s sake; and for heaven’s sake.
Song for the day: Jesus in the family, happy happy home…

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 47-48; 1 John 1

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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. April Monday 27th TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION OF FALSIFIED RECORDS by Sis Bosede Ogwurike TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. After accepting the Lord Jesus as my Lord and personal Saviour as a young girl I so much enjoyed the Lord, but at a particular time in my life I entangled myself with so many sins: fornication, abortions, misconduct in two of my undergraduate examination papers, falsification of age, falsification of results in my undergraduate research project and other sins that later required restitution. This created a big vacuum in my life. I no longer enjoyed the presence of God as before and sometimes when I prayed for restoration and revival, I would hear a voice clearly in my spirit saying, “Go and report yourself.” This I did not
