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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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...
