LET THE MARRIAGE COMMITTEE GUIDE YOUR COURTSHIP

God bless you for taking your time to study.

LET THE MARRIAGE COMMITTEE GUIDE YOUR COURTSHIP

TEXT: Exodus 18: 18 – 24 

FRIDAY AUGUST 12th

Key verse: Proverbs 15: 22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established
Parental introduction and courtship can commence with the guidance of the marriage commitment. Courtship in marriage is a period given to the marrying partners for familiarization, planning, and discussion of their future home. This is useful to enable them to harmonize their vision, purpose, and desires since both of them are two separate entities. It could be that the woman as a single lady has been planning to build a Nursery-Primary school in her hometown while the man on the other hand is planning after his marriage, he will be relocating to another city for their livelihood to continue there. 
Exodus 18:23-24
23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all these people shall also go to their place in peace.
24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.
The courtship period is meant for them to prayerfully fuse their ideas in favor of the ones acceptable to them both. It is a time to discuss and agree on how many children they can conveniently carter for in their marriage. In this wise, there is a need for agreement between the intending couples and the leadership of the church.  The marriage committee and the marriage partners should both define the period of the courtship as should be suitable. 
The period should be considered short so as not to hurt emotions. The committee should put a supervisory eye on the intending couples from time to time to avoid wedding immoral people in the church of God. All their movement together during the courtship period should be examined and where necessary, a third party should accompany them for their spiritual security. 

Thought for today: If you take good counsel, you will marry rightly

Song for the day: I live for Jesus, day after day…

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 93-95; Romans 11:22-36

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
