THE CHURCH WEDDING AND MARRIAGE SOLEMNIZATION

God bless you for taking your time to study.

THE CHURCH WEDDING AND MARRIAGE SOLEMNIZATION 

TEXT: MATTHEW 19: 5-6: 

 FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 2nd

Key verse: Hebrews 13: 4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
The wedding is the solemnization of the marital union between two unmarried persons, a man and a woman by an approved minister of God before a congregation. Only after this are they considered husband and wife with the right to the marital bed. If you and your spouse decide on a wedding in the church, then it is expected that you are husband and wife only after the church wedding. It is only after this ceremony that both of you will have rights to your bodies. But if you have made yourselves husband and wife already, then the wedding solemnization in the church is a mockery of God. However, if you and your wife resolved to end it in traditional marriage, after your dowry payment the church wedding will not be required anymore. That is alright. Ensure you do that with the full consent of the church. 
Genesis 2:23-25
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
I am seeing strange things going on in some denominational churches these days where long-married couples are either resorting to church weddings or are rededicating their marriages to God in churches. These days you will still hear couples who had long been grandparents inviting special guests to attend their church weddings. These people have no job to do. Was there a wedding between Abraham and Sarah? Then why do they emphasize weddings? Some churches now make wedding part of the criteria for holding church positions and taking communion. Do not be deceived by these churches of ‘first touch. 

Thought for the day: It is not the wedding that matters but marrying in God’s will.

Song for the day: Heavenly Father, Thy will be done…

Bible reading for the day: 
Proverbs 1,2; 1 Corinthians 12

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
