For taking your time to study remain blessed. TOPIC: THERE IS NO REVERSE GEAR IN MARRIAGE. SATURDAY JULY 15 TEXT: MARK 10:10-12 KEY VERSE: “The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.” (1Corinthians 7:39). The law of marriage binds a husband to his wife and the wife to her husband as long as both of them are still alive. Divorce is not an option. Whoever divorces and remarries when the marriage partner is still alive has no part in the kingdom of God. He or she is committing adultery. “For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loose from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband be dead, sheis free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.” (Romans 7:2-3). If you are married to another woman or as a woman you are married to another man, apart from your first scripturally binding marriage partner, you are in a wrong relationship and must dissolve it, if you want to please God and go to heaven. You should go back to your first lawfully marriage partner or stay unmarried. There are those who say that adultery committed by one of the partners in a marriage union can result to divorce and remarriage. This understanding comes from the misinterpretation of the scriptures (i.e. Matthew 5:32; 19:9) The issue being referred to here as basis of divorce is fornication, not adultery. Unfortunately, some Bible translations replace the word fornication with marital unchastely or marital unfaithfulness. Many stumble by these renderings. Fornication is a sin which is committed by someone who has not yet entered into the marriage union (i.e. at the introduction stage as practiced in the Jewish custom). The word of God in John 8:1-12 settles this matter. Under the present dispensation, no sin can cause divorce. If adultery can, then any other sin including lying or stealing can as well. They cannot be separated because the two have become one according to scripture: “And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And again in the house his disciples asked of the same matter. And he saith unto them, whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery” (Mark 10:8-12). Those who desire to marry should study issues well so that they will not fall into the hands of someone already scripturally married and get damned due to immorality. If you have married wrongly, such ungodly marriage must be dissolved. Thought for the Day: Look well before entering marriage and stay put once you enter. Song for the Day: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word Bible reading for the day: Psalm 17-18; Acts 19:1-20 #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...
