TOPIC: ADULTERY SHOULD BE FORGIVEN
EVEN AS CHRIST HAS FORGIVEN YOU

Tuesday JUNE 12, 2018

TEXT: Mark 10:1-12

Key verse: Mark 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Matthew 5:31-32; [31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: [32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery

In spite of this scripture, how many men in the Old Testament put away their wives? Not even Prophet Hosea whose wife committed adultery. That tells you it was never the practice because it was not part of God's original plan in marriage (Matthew 19:8). However, there are some conditions under which divorce is
acceptable:
1. You married and later discovered your spouse was previously married. You are
free to divorce to be free of the sin of fornication.
2. You did a marriage introduction/engagement after which your bride committed fornication, you may discontinue that marriage process if you so desire. The offence is called fornication (not adultery) because you are not yet joined together as husband and wife (not yet one flesh). Matthew 19:9 Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

This was the case with Joseph and Mary (Matthew 1:18-20).
3. We have seen instances where a man or woman embarks on “last time” love￾making with a lover on the eve of wedding. If the husband- or wife-to-be discovers, the aggrieved partner may choose to discontinue with the rest of the marriage ceremony. It must be emphasized that Jesus approves divorce for fornication, not adultery.
In the case of the woman caught red-handed in adultery (John 8:1-11), Jesus challenged her accusers: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Who has never lied? Who has never shown hatred against another?
Who has never been greedy? Who has never committed any sin? None of her accusers could stand! This shows that adultery in marriage is as sinful as smoking,

Thought for the day: Forgive as Christ forgave you.

Song for the day: Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus….

Bible reading for the day: Ezra 1-2; John 19:23-42

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...

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...
