THE CHRISTIAN COUPLE IN MINISTRY.   WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 8
TEXT: ACTS 18:24-28                                                                                                       
Key Verse: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4
Marrying in God’s will is a perfect union on earth. Christian marriage is very fulfilling. It is based on God’s principles for the individual persons in the marriage and for the two (husband and wife) as married couple in the home. It brings out sweet oil in the ministry or in the service of God as expected of every Christian family. Holy and pure marriage is a shining light and a model to the world. Priscilla and Aquila in the book of Acts 18:26 were able to expose the word of God appropriately to Apollos, this shows that those two were in ministry together. The scriptures show that one will chase a thousand; two, ten thousand. The Christians in marriage need to understand this principle of God and apply it for better and effective ministry. The work of God in our days does not need rancour and crises in the life of a man and his wife in other to propagate the gospel of Christ in righteousness and in holiness. 
Every true believer who is married is called into the ministry and service of our Lord Jesus Christ one way or the other. In his or her vocation; whether personal, Business, Government organization or church, God expects a believer to represent Him there. Therefore the consciousness of the ministry must be carried along side by side with that job or vocation –care must therefore be taken by the man and his wife that Christ is seen in their lives and Home. Holiness and Righteousness must be practice in their home so as to show good example of the believer I Timothy 4:12-13 to children and neighbours in character, and in word. The proper saying goes that the Family that prays together stays together. The Family Altar is the number one target of the devil. Once couples no longer pray together extensively the performance of such family has been affected both in their endeavours and ministry. The Family Altar is essential to keep and maintain the couple and the family intact. Attention must be given to study of the word together in Fellowship. At home, church and other places of sprit filled fellowship. This will develop the couple and unite them in such a bond that cannot be penetrated by the devil or external forces. We saw clearly the case of Priscilla and Aquila who gave themselves to study of the word that is why they could reprove, teach, correct and enhance the knowledge of others in the word. The word of God builds you for you to build others.
Thought for the day: Couples who are devoted to God’s word are useful instruments for the Lord.
Song for the day: My wife shall be a blessing, my children around my table….

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 49-50; Hebrews 5

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
