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

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
