Topic: NECESSITY OF PARENTAL CONSENT IN MARRIAGE

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

Topic: NECESSITY OF PARENTAL CONSENT IN MARRIAGE November Thursday 26th

Text: Genesis 24: 60-67

Key verse: Song 2: 15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.


After mutual consent to marry there is need for introduction to each other’s parents for parental consent. Where there is resistance, especially from the parents of the woman, both must take it to God in prayer and wait on Him to clear the obstacle. The bible says follow peace with all men and holiness. If your parents refuse, they may give any flimsy reason like, “We don’t marry people from that tribe.” It is a flimsy reason and they may be looking serious. The heart of a king is in the hand of God as rivers of water. He turns it wherever He wills. 


The heart of your parents are in the hands of God, go to God in prayer. The Lord will work on their hearts. Don’t jump up and say, “No! You people are wasting my time.” It is not in a Christian marriage you do that. Your leaders are there to guide and advise you. They will pray with you and organize fasting and prayer for you. There is need to wait because your journey may be like that of Balaam. God is not willing and may have tried every other method to stop you but since you are proving stubborn, He may decide to use your parents to stop you. 


So we don’t know whether the resistance from your parents is the language of God saying, “I am not in that marriage.” Pray and if it is not the language of God, the door will be opened. But if the thing continues persistently, wisdom demands that you withdraw. After all, both of you are not Adam and Eve that you would say, “If I withdraw, which other woman is there in the world to marry?” Or, “Which other man can I find?” In fact, you will find a better replacement if it is God that is stopping you. 


Therefore, have faith in God and follow the path of peace. But let this not affect people who are already married. If your parents resisted your marriage but you went ahead and got married and they later came, collected the dowry and made peace with you, know that marriage has already taken place. If, however, they have rejected it up till today and refused to collect anything for the marriage, marriage has not taken place. 


Thought for the day: Parental consent of the woman is necessary to consummate marriage.

Song for the day: Have Your way Lord have Your way (3x) Oh Lord have Your way

Bible reading for the day:

Ezekiel 36-37; 1Peter 3

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
