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.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
