SEEK YOUR CHRISTIAN LEADER’S GUIDANCE AND COUNSEL

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

Topic: SEEK YOUR CHRISTIAN LEADER’S GUIDANCE AND COUNSEL November Thursday 5th
Text: Genesis 24:1-9
Key verse: Proverbs 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
Don’t allow fear to come into your heart. “I have seen a lady to marry. If I now go and tell my Pastor about it he will discourage me.” Thank God that Holiness Revival Movement is a non-denominational ministry. So, if you have seen a lady to marry in Church A or in Church B, our concern is whether or not she is born again. Is she a child of God? Is she having the properties of holiness in her life? Or if it is a man, is that man born again? He may be in that Church but different from the members of that Church because he has encountered the God of holiness. Don’t be afraid to share with the leadership in your chapter. Inform your Pastor before seeing the woman to discuss with her. There is a reason for this: You may influence a woman who is already engaged with your personality and property, with your riches and affluence, and she may be tempted to choose between two of you. That is why you need to go through your leaders. They will follow it up to know whether this person is engaged already or not. It is a sensitive matter that needs application of wisdom. Your leader will carry out the action required to verify and ensure that no one has come for her, and to prevent choosing by sight and not by the Spirit of God.
If she is in another Church, they will send to that Church and do all investigations necessary before you go to the next step through the Marriage Committee. Holiness Revival Movement has Marriage Committee in every state. So, reporting to the Marriage Committee is very important. Before you speak to the person, there will be medical tests to confirm that you are compatible and free from diseases like Ebola, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis etc. We don’t know whether God actually led you as you said or not. Here is an innocent person who has been keeping his or her life well and God has promised to use him. Do we allow someone else with a deadly disease to come and contaminate him or her and within three years the person is dead. But, what if you claim to have faith for healing? Let that faith heal you first, then you can marry freely. So, medical tests will be required.
Thought for the day: Be guided by the Marriage Committee in your marital plans
Song for the day: Trust and obey
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 40-42; Hebrews 2

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
