TOPIC: WEDDING MUST BE DEVOID OF WORLDLINESS      December Thursday 17th

Text: Revelation 19: 5-9

Key verse: Revelation 19: 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.


Christian wedding must show forth the holiness and glory of God and be completely devoid of all forms of worldliness. Such times are joyful times for brethren to gather around the bride and bridegroom as holy brethren. That is why the church supervises all arrangements up to the last day of wedding. We prayed for you to have a wife or husband and supervised your courtship and engagement, now we need to rejoice with you. If we must rejoice with you, everything in that wedding must be holy. The bride must dress holy: no earrings, no perming, no weave-on, no make-up, no hair attachments, no wedding rings and no worldly wedding gown. Provide your own wedding gown to fit you the way you want to appear in the righteousness of God. It is honour to God in the Church. 


The activities there (singing, dancing, praise and worship) must not be worldly. There must be a difference between a Christian wedding and that of a sinner. There must be a difference between the wedding conducted by Holiness Movement and that of churches that do not preach and practice holiness. The food eaten there must be decent. It is not a place of show-off for pride. Some want to produce souvenirs as gifts to their guests. Please we don’t want you to set a standard too high for other brethren so that you will not cause people to offend. They will be afraid to marry because of the extravagant standard you have set.  


However, you may adopt some better ideas such as sharing of tracts, Christian literature and other gospel materials during the wedding reception. That is the mark of a Christian. Plan to share CDs to all the guests. It is a great opportunity to reach out to your in laws, friends and well wishers with the doctrines of truth, righteousness and holiness. So, share your good ideas to the marriage committee; they will judge it and approve as appropriate. If Holiness Movement is to handle your wedding, we will not allow your family members to dictate or take-over proceedings. Rather they should observe the standard of holiness we are setting. It is the time for them to know Jesus for themselves; therefore conduct your wedding in a way that God will be glorified.


Thought for the day: A holy child will conduct his or her wedding in a holy way.

Song for the day: I am married to Jesus, Satan leave me alone

Bible reading for the day: Obadiah; Revelation 8

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
