TOPIC: DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO GET A MARRIAGE PARTNER

TEXT: Daniel 3:16-18
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 If it is so, our God whom we serve can deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

KEY VERSE: Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. 

As a child of God, you must ensure you enter into marriage clean and undefiled. How do you do this?

1. Don’t defile yourself. Daniel purposed in his heart that he will not defile himself (Daniel 1:8). Can you also determine in your heart that no lady or no man will defile you before God? I am talking about a firm determination that as far as marriage is concerned, nobody will defile you. That man that insists he must taste you before marriage is not for you. He should leave you alone if he will not marry by faith. 

2. As far as marriage is concerned, you must determine that you will never adjust your age or add glory to your life because you want a marriage partner (Job 27:4). Do you have a child before? “Yes, I have three.” If the man or woman coming for you is from God, he or she will not object. Are you married before? Say the truth and don't tell lies. Don't deceive anybody with false information. True love goes with the truth. A lying tongue is but for a moment. 

3. Enter marriage with righteousness. Let not your heart reproach you. Let not your heart condemn you that you touched her before marriage. Don’t allow a man to sleep with you or rob your body because you want to marry. If you do, righteousness has gone!

4. Let no man or woman separate you from Jesus. Don't give that privilege to any man or woman. Let nobody separate you from the holy assembly of God. 

5. Do not compromise. You went for the introduction and they said bring alcohol, or bring money to represent alcohol; don't submit to their request. If the woman is for you, nobody can take her away. Prayer will handle the matter. 

A man pestered a lady who claims to be a Christian that he would not marry her until he had “tasted” her and the woman eventually agreed. After the deed was done, the man said the woman was not fit to be his wife because he could not stand her faith. This leaves the lady a double loser. Sister, brother, determined to enter your marriage with a clean record of moral rectitude. 

Thought for the day: Don’t compromise on righteousness for any reason. It is your life!

Song for the day: Holiness unto the Lord is our watchword and song….

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 5-6; Mark 4:1-20

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
