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 Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises.
