TOPIC:  CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE IN PERSPECTIVE.  FRIDAY SEMPTEMBER 1 
TEXT:  GENESIS 24:50-60
KEY VERSE:  “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. “(Proverbs 18:22).

God loves His children and is concerned with their welfare. As God thought out a marriage partner for Adam and brought her to him, so he is planning for His children, to join them in marriage. We need to know the following facts about the marriage of God's children.

i.            There is a Christian way of marriage which is righteous, holy and God-honouring. The couple desiring to marry must be born again and righteous.
ii.            Individuals going into marriage must do so under their freewill
iii.            Physical maturity is required for marriage. It is required also that the man should be able to provide for his family.
iv.            Prayer, faith, discernment and counseling are required to marry according to God's will.
v.            Medical verification on essential things such as deadly disease, impotency and blood genotype is required to avoid sorrow after marriage.
vi.            Parental consent and dowry payment is required.
vii.            The period of courtship must be handled sensitively and righteously.
viii.            Believers must not follow the standard of the world in marriage. 
ix.            The church and its marriage committee play important role in the marriage of her godly children, according to God’s will.
x.            Fruitfulness in life and ministry largely depends on the stability of marriage of God's children. Eternity too may depend upon it.
xi.            Church wedding makes marriage a holy and honourable thing. Church wedding is not for those already married and are staying together or have defiled themselves.
xii.            Young widows and widowers may re-marry. 

Keep yourself pure as a single or as one in courtship or as one in widowhood. Pray earnestly to overcome any delay in getting a marriage partner.

Thought for the Day:  Marrying according to God’s will makes your home God’s habitation.
Song for the Day: O give us Christian home.
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 148-150; 1 Corinthians 11:16-34

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...
