TOPIC: WEDDING MUST BE DEVOID OF WORLDLINESS      December Thursday 17th

Text: Revelation 19: 5-9

Key verse: Revelation 19: 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.


Christian wedding must show forth the holiness and glory of God and be completely devoid of all forms of worldliness. Such times are joyful times for brethren to gather around the bride and bridegroom as holy brethren. That is why the church supervises all arrangements up to the last day of wedding. We prayed for you to have a wife or husband and supervised your courtship and engagement, now we need to rejoice with you. If we must rejoice with you, everything in that wedding must be holy. The bride must dress holy: no earrings, no perming, no weave-on, no make-up, no hair attachments, no wedding rings and no worldly wedding gown. Provide your own wedding gown to fit you the way you want to appear in the righteousness of God. It is honour to God in the Church. 


The activities there (singing, dancing, praise and worship) must not be worldly. There must be a difference between a Christian wedding and that of a sinner. There must be a difference between the wedding conducted by Holiness Movement and that of churches that do not preach and practice holiness. The food eaten there must be decent. It is not a place of show-off for pride. Some want to produce souvenirs as gifts to their guests. Please we don’t want you to set a standard too high for other brethren so that you will not cause people to offend. They will be afraid to marry because of the extravagant standard you have set.  


However, you may adopt some better ideas such as sharing of tracts, Christian literature and other gospel materials during the wedding reception. That is the mark of a Christian. Plan to share CDs to all the guests. It is a great opportunity to reach out to your in laws, friends and well wishers with the doctrines of truth, righteousness and holiness. So, share your good ideas to the marriage committee; they will judge it and approve as appropriate. If Holiness Movement is to handle your wedding, we will not allow your family members to dictate or take-over proceedings. Rather they should observe the standard of holiness we are setting. It is the time for them to know Jesus for themselves; therefore conduct your wedding in a way that God will be glorified.


Thought for the day: A holy child will conduct his or her wedding in a holy way.

Song for the day: I am married to Jesus, Satan leave me alone

Bible reading for the day: Obadiah; Revelation 8

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...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
