DON’T TAKE AN UNBELIEVER FOR A WIFE OR HUSBAND

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

Topic: DON’T  TAKE AN UNBELIEVER FOR A WIFE OR HUSBAND October Thursday 15th

Text: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 

Key verse: 2 Corinthians 6: 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?


Today’s devotional reading is a clear warning the Lord is giving you as a believer. Don’t go and marry an unbeliever whatever the greatness or beauty or renown or quality that person may possess. Even if the person meets the quality you desire in your future partner or others recommended the person to you based on some qualities, you must not be swayed into marriage with him or her. You might have even dreamt about the person, yet you must not go that way.  As long as that person is a sinner/ unbeliever, there is clear warning to you .... DON’T GO INTO MARRIAGE WITH AN UNBELIEVER!


It makes no difference if the person was recommended by your mother or father or close friend. You might have graduated from the same school or maybe you are in the same profession or doing the same kind of business; all these have nothing to do with marriage. Don’t marry him or her. Don’t assume that because that person looks simple, looks gentle or is always laughing he or she can be easily converted tomorrow.  Yes, he or she may play gentleness, but the fact remains that he or she is a sinner! Don’t marry a sinner or an unbeliever. That is a clear commandment of God. If you fail to heed this divine warning, the danger is that that person will probably obstruct or even destroy your Christian faith tomorrow. He or she will affect your going to heaven. What then shall it profit you, if you get a wife or husband and lose your soul in the process? What can a man give in exchange for his soul? That is why the Lord is counselling you to choose right and in His will. Again, don’t assume that the person is a child of God because he or she is singing in the choir. Don’t assume that the person is a child of God because he is a preacher or that he or she is fervent in evangelism or doing morning calls. Don’t assume anything about anybody until you have thoroughly investigated and confirmed the truth. Prove all things and hold fast that which is good. Don’t get carried away by zealous service; for zeal is not holiness and charisma is not character. Carry out a diligent check, for you shall know them by their fruits. 


Thought for the day: Marry a child of God to safeguard your soul. 

Song for the day: Jesus loves me, He died for me, nobody loves me like Jesus

Bible reading for the day: 

Isaiah 56-58; 1 Thessalonians 3 #Horemow

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
