 For taking your time to study remain blessed

TOPIC: REJECT UNGODLY DEMANDS IN MARRIAGE PROCESS December Thursday 10th
Text: Genesis 29: 18-22
Key verse: Genesis 34: 12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.

Satisfactory settlement in dowry payment and other legitimate demands of the parents should be done to enable the release of their daughter for marriage. Ungodly demands should be politely and firmly rejected. Neither should money equivalent be given. Sister, if you are a Christian, start working on your parents now if you are hoping to get married to a righteous man. Let them know that whiskey or alcohol is not acceptable and money will not be given in exchange for it. Get them prepared against those abominable things. These standards were set by their forefathers that didn’t know the gospel, but we are not going after the customs and traditions of men. Therefore, prepare your parents for your marriage settlement. Explain to them all the things that are not to be done. List them one by one now that you have not even brought a suitor home yet. Get them informed so that they can get prepared.

Of course, the marriage committee will delegate people that will go with you. It is not just two of you that will go for the ceremony and pay the bride price because if you go alone, we would not know if you have compromised there since we do not have witnesses. If we have no witness to testify of what you did there; whether or not you even met your dowry obligation to the sister’s parents, how then do you think that we would wed you? You went and gave alcohol to some people and now you say we should wed you? My brethren, don’t ever bring pollution to Holiness Revival Movement in your State and Nation. It is better that you do not wed than that you wed a polluted person. Everything must be supervised and assessed in holiness from the beginning to the end to ensure holiness all through the process. As Paul said, “That I might present them perfect unto the Lord.” That is how it should be. We will not lay hand suddenly on any man so as not to become a partaker of his or her sin.

Thought for the day: Ungodly demands should be politely and firmly rejected during the marriage process.
Song for the day: Something more than gold, something more than silver....
Bible reading for the day: Hosea 5-8; Revelation 1

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
