TOPIC: GOD’S STANDARD IN MARRIAGE AND RESTITUTION                November Sunday 3rd
TEXT: Genesis 20: 1-7
KEY VERSE: Hebrews 13:4 “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge”

Marriage is an institution established by God Himself. The Scripture describes marriage as a union between a man and a woman who have agreed to accept each other; the man as a husband and the woman as a wife, having obtained parental consent and settled required parental demands. God is interested in the marriage of His children and commands believers in Christ never to marry unbelievers. Monogamy is the standard. Polygamy is scripturally condemned. Adultery does not cause divorce and remarriage. Wedding ceremony is required in believers’ marriage, but is not what determines marriage. Believers’ marriage ceremony must be devoid of all ungodliness, worldliness and sin in dressing and ceremonial activities. Marriage test should be done to avoid transfer of diseases.
A man that is into a marriage union with a married woman is committing fornication. Repentance requires separation from her. He is free to marry another woman.
Restitution is the scriptural practice of correcting past wrong doing against God and man according to abounding scriptural examples. This practice is required to free the believer from the accusation of men and of personal conscience. He is able to serve God in peace and confidence. Restitution involves confessing hidden crime, lies told, treachery practiced against others and apologizing to them. This is required to forgive others and seek forgiveness from those he has offended. It involves restoring stolen or fraudulent money, certificates, documents or property, making confession to appropriate person and apologizing for such acts, with the willingness to bear the cost or penalty for his crime. Husbands and wives need to make confession of marital unfaithfulness and sin committed against each other in secret.
Restitution is required in wrong marriages. A scripturally wrong marriage must be dissolved; such as second or third marriage, marriage to anyone other than your first lawful partner. Marriages done without following proper channel, or done without parental consent must be dissolved for heaven’s sake, or the couple must do all that is required for the marriage to be acceptable before God. Restitution is the commandment of the Lord to be obeyed. Not to do it is a sin and no sinner shall inherit eternal life.
Thought for the day: Marriage is for one man and one woman until death do them part
Song for the day: I have decided to follow Jesus (3x), No turning back (2x)......
Bible reading for the day:

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...
