For taking your time to study remain blessed. THE IMPORTANCE OF DOWRY PAYMENT WEDNESDAY MAY 24 TEXT: GENESIS 34: 8 – 12 Key Verse: “And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give” Genesis 34: 11 Once parental consent has been released upon you and your fiancée, marriage can take place after courtship and other formalities; dowry can be paid later. Sometimes dowry is not required. So, if consent has been given, and you are together as husband and wife after following due process, then you can come and pay later when you have. Don’t say later, I didn’t pay your dowry, so go back to your father’s house. The father has released her, so she’s released, dowry or no dowry. All that is required is to pay later because you married her on credit. It’s like, you bought a car on credit, it became yours and you are using the car and it is getting old now, and it has developed some noise and you say you want to return the car, who are you returning it to? It is the payment of the money that remains. You got the woman and now she’s aging and children everywhere and you say you want to return her, to who? Check your marriage, is there parental consent, have they released that woman to you truly? Maybe you eloped before but your in-laws have even visited, prayed and blessed you in the house, you ran away before but he forgave you and said I have forgiven you, I want my daughter to marry, stay together any time you are ready for dowry payment you can come. The matter has finished. All that is required now is money. If you miss heaven, it will be because you are a borrower that does not pay. Again dowry may be required of her by her parents. Ask the parents what do they want you to give, let them give you their list, let them charge you; if they charge one million naira, you may have to plead because it’s an open market. You plead, you beg and you woman, join in begging, you know which person to influence among your parents. What if they demand for alcohol, cigarette and any of these abominable things by the scripture? You cannot give anything that is corrupt: alcohol, cigarette or any such thing. Make sure things are followed in holiness and righteousness, no immorality before marriage. However tough the in-laws are, they’ll eventually bow if the woman is from God for your life. Thought for the day: Owe no man anything but to love. Song for the day: He paid the debt He did not owe, I owe the debt I could not pay. 1 Chronicles 11-13 John 9:1-23 #horemow.

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
