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

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
