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

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...
