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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
