DATE: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 19

TOPIC: DO NOT GRIEVE YOUR MARRIAGE PARTNER BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CHILDREN

TEXT: Matthew 10:37-38 

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

KEY VERSE: Ruth 4:15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. 

Love your wife as a Christian should do. Do not hate or despise her because she did not bear children for you. Love and cherish her, she will bless your life better than seven sons. You woman, submit to your husband fully. Love and obey him. Do not despise him because he could not get you pregnant. In Christ, he will do in your life both now and for eternity better than what ten sons can do (1 Samuel 1:8). 

Do not allow Satan to worsen your case by suggesting that you should seek children through secret adultery or a second marriage. That will mean you love a child more than God. Know that God is aware of your childless situation and it may be His will for you. It may be that God wants somebody to do something more for Him and does not want the burden of marriage on that person. He knows that if the person is free from a marriage he or she will work better for Him. 

For example, God’s plan for Paul the apostle was: I do not want you to marry because you have so much work to do. Did it not work for him? It worked! But the world will laugh at a man like that and say, “Look at him; big for nothing! Big man, where is your wife?” The world may mock him, but the Scripture says, he that is married shares his time between God and a woman, but he that is unmarried gives one hundred per cent of his time to God (1 Corinthians 7:32-33). 

He has more time to serve God in his lifetime. God is more glorified by him and will greatly reward him. But if Paul never knew the way of God, he would have been living in sorrow and shame. However, since Paul understood his case so well, he was peaceful. Seek to understand the mind of God towards you in your childlessness. This will give you peace and boldness among men. Do not think like the world over matters of children because your life is in the hands of God. 

Psalms 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delights in his ways. It may be that God has envisaged the negative effect of children on your calling and He is protecting you against it. But whatever may be the case, be peaceful and keep serving the Lord happily.

Thought for the day: The husband or wife God has given you is better than many sons.

Song for the day: Something more than gold, something more than silver, the Spirit of the Lord in the……

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 1-2; Mark 3:1-21

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
