TOPIC: DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO GET A MARRIAGE PARTNER

TEXT: Daniel 3:16-18
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 If it is so, our God whom we serve can deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

KEY VERSE: Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. 

As a child of God, you must ensure you enter into marriage clean and undefiled. How do you do this?

1. Don’t defile yourself. Daniel purposed in his heart that he will not defile himself (Daniel 1:8). Can you also determine in your heart that no lady or no man will defile you before God? I am talking about a firm determination that as far as marriage is concerned, nobody will defile you. That man that insists he must taste you before marriage is not for you. He should leave you alone if he will not marry by faith. 

2. As far as marriage is concerned, you must determine that you will never adjust your age or add glory to your life because you want a marriage partner (Job 27:4). Do you have a child before? “Yes, I have three.” If the man or woman coming for you is from God, he or she will not object. Are you married before? Say the truth and don't tell lies. Don't deceive anybody with false information. True love goes with the truth. A lying tongue is but for a moment. 

3. Enter marriage with righteousness. Let not your heart reproach you. Let not your heart condemn you that you touched her before marriage. Don’t allow a man to sleep with you or rob your body because you want to marry. If you do, righteousness has gone!

4. Let no man or woman separate you from Jesus. Don't give that privilege to any man or woman. Let nobody separate you from the holy assembly of God. 

5. Do not compromise. You went for the introduction and they said bring alcohol, or bring money to represent alcohol; don't submit to their request. If the woman is for you, nobody can take her away. Prayer will handle the matter. 

A man pestered a lady who claims to be a Christian that he would not marry her until he had “tasted” her and the woman eventually agreed. After the deed was done, the man said the woman was not fit to be his wife because he could not stand her faith. This leaves the lady a double loser. Sister, brother, determined to enter your marriage with a clean record of moral rectitude. 

Thought for the day: Don’t compromise on righteousness for any reason. It is your life!

Song for the day: Holiness unto the Lord is our watchword and song….

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 5-6; Mark 4:1-20

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
