GOD HAS MADE MARRIAGE HONOURABLE
TEXT: Matthew 19: 4-6
Key verse:  Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 

Marriage was the first institution made by God after the creation of Adam and Eve. God made the woman for the man and joined them together. It was God that joined them together and united them together and said that union should not be tampered with. Let no man put asunder that which God has united. Marriage is honourable before God. The time and place where their marriage occurred show how honourable it was. It took place to befall the fall. Before sin came into their lives, there was marriage. What an honourable thing! Before Satan came to pollute the world, there was marriage and family life. So, it is a thing so great that God will want all of us to honour. The marriage of Adam and Eve was holy before the fall of man. 

Now, Jesus also honoured marriage. You will see that He illustrated this in a parable that talked about a wedding feast that people normally attend in those days. People that attend wedding feasts usually wore special attires because they were specially invited and given uniforms. So, Jesus was illustrating that marriage was something central in the heart of God. Now even when Jesus was on earth, He attended a marriage feast. Jesus and His disciples were invited to the marriage and He came there. The God of heaven created marriage at the beginning, being in the form of God, He instituted marriage. Now God became man and went to a marriage feast. The place of marriage in the heart of God is central and a marriage feast, therefore, is for the glory of Jesus.

In the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee, Jesus manifested His glory. He went to that wedding and was glorified there. Our marriages should glorify Jesus. Our marriages should be a setting for God's glory to be manifested. Have it in your mind, if you are not yet married, but see that God will be glorified in your marriage from the beginning to the end of it and this can be done when there is righteousness and holiness in all facets.

Thought for the day: The place of marriage in the heart of God is central 
Song for the day: He loves me I cannot say why
Bible reading for the day:  Isaiah 31-33; Philippians 1

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
