PERIOD OF SUPERVISED COURTSHIP THURSDAY FEBRUARY 22
TEXT: Ruth 3: 1-10
Key Verse: “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13: 4
After parental consent the courtship can start with the guidance of the marriage committee. Courtship is a period of time given for familiarization and discussion and planning for the future home and family. It is useful to unite the vision, the purpose, understanding, desires of each partner. It is necessary to unite these together, because you are separate entities. Maybe the woman had been planning all this while to build a Nursery/ Primary school. As a single lady that was her thought, but the man is planning that when he gets married, he will leave this city to another city for something he has in mind. It means that both of you are thinking of different things, you can now bring your ideas and choose which one is favourable that both of you can accept before the marriage takes place. So it is a time of discussion. How many children do you want to have in your marriage? The sister may think of one or two children but the brother may desire many children. In this present generation how do you feed them? How do you care for them? It will become a frustration at this time that women are also in service. You will say, no, no, no. it cannot be like that. What are we looking for many children for? These children, if they are not born again, our going to heaven will become a problem in itself. What are we looking for them too many for? So courtship time can unite these decisions. Because many people have been asking is family planning right? These people in courtship are doing family planning now! Of course some scientific means will be required to work this out. So family planning is appropriate to control child bearing. The medical people can advise you on the best way this thing can be done, which will not offend God, you will not be aborting children, No. it is just preventing additional children out of understanding and wisdom, not like the wickedness of Onan, the son of Judah. It is out of wisdom of understanding so that your strength for God should not be used up and you have no time to spend for God anymore so that your Christianity will not be frustrated. That is the reason for family planning. The period of courtship should be reasonably appropriate as agreed between the parties and the leadership of the church. We will not define a period because there must be flexibility. The parties and the marriage committee will define the period of the courtship as they see them appropriate.

Thought for the day: Courtship should be well handled to avoid defilement.
Song for the day: Jesus loves me, He died for me
Bible reading for the day:
Numbers 7; Mark 4:21-41

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...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
