GOD’S EXPECTATIONS IN CHRISTIAN MERRAIGE
April Saturday 21st
Text: Proverbs 5:18-21
Key Verse: Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

In our reading text, the bible tells us about some functions and expectations in marriage.

1. God wants you to enjoy each other. Proverbs 5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. God wants you to satisfy each other - to enjoy each other's love and be satisfied with each other’s body. You are not together for procreation only but also for pleasure. Husband and wife must take pleasure in love making and not see it as spiritually unhealthy a sinful thing to do. It is part of God’s plan for marriage. 

2. Divorce is not an option in marriage. Pro 5:18  Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. “The wife of your youth” indicates that both of you are bound from youth till old age. Therefore, be careful who you marry, because once you do, you cannot get out of it. This is why it is necessary to follow biblical process of marriage and allow God to lead you to your marriage partner. For singles, listen to the message: FROM KNOWING THE WILL OF GOD TO WEDDING by Pastor Paul Rika for thorough guidance.

3. Extramarital affair is forbidden. Proverbs 5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? Any woman outside the bride of your youth is a strange woman. Those who lie with strange women are unwise. Proverbs 6:28-29 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29  So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

4. Let love rule your marriage. Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. In Christian marriage, money and childbearing are secondary issues. Lack of any should not diminish the love for each other. Ill health may be a challenge, but this is the best time to show true love because this is the time your ailing partner needs you most.

Thought for the day: Make your marriage an example for others to emulate.
Song for the day: Christian walk carefully.
Bible reading for the day:
2Samuel 1-3; Luke 18:1-17

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...

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
