EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING

TOPIC: REGULAR FAMILY DEVOTION PART 2

TEXT: Ephesians 5:22-30

Key verse: Deuteronomy 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

Marriage was instituted by God and it is honourable. The couple are expected to promote righteousness in their family through regular family devotion and application of the truth learnt to develop their personal spiritual
lives.

Righteousness in marriage involves:
a) Obedience to the laws of marriage Colossians 3:18-19
b) Adultery should not be mentioned or thought of Hebrews 13:4
c) Both spouses should love themselves Colossians 3:13-15
d) Do not suspect each other for unfaithfulness or adultery Titus 1:15

Developing personal spiritual life involves:
a) Studying the Scripture constantly 2 Timothy 2:15
b) Praying all manner of prayers always 1 Thess. 5:15. Pray without ceasing
Ephesians 6:18
c) Morning and possibly evening family devotion Every Word of God for Daily Living should be Stressed.
d) Private quiet-time on daily basis.

Negligence to cooperate in family devotion by one of the spouses will need the support and prayer of the other. When any of the spouse fails, the other spouse should try to talk him or her back to devotion. If it is not working, the spouse should continue with his or her devotion and not cease praying for the backslidden spouse. When the children fail adolescents, the couple should continue in family devotion and pray for their restoration. If your wife does not do her duties as a wife, do what you can do and be at peace, "1Corinthians 7:29".

If the couple are not serious about bringing righteousness into their marriage, the devil would have succeeded in luring either or both of them to hell fire. But if they will keep righteousness in their marriage and also have personal devotional lives, the devil will find it difficult to mess-up your marriage.

Thought for the day: A devoted family is a united family.

Song for the day: We have come to thee o Lord (2x) ... That it might be well with us

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 17-19; John 10:1-21.

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...
