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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
