DATE: MONDAY MARCH 8TH

TOPIC: KEEP YOURSELF UNDEFILED BEFORE MARRIAGE

TEXT: Psalm 119:33-40

33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity and quicken thou me in thy way.

38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 

Single sister, single brother, you need to keep yourself undefiled so as not to hinder the gospel work, which is your compelling duty in Christ (1 Corinthians 9:16). Where would you have the power to preach this gospel if you get yourself defiled? Ruth was not among those running after men, laughing, tolerating casual touching here and there. 

Not Ruth! Don't parade yourself to attract a marriage partner. It diminishes your quality before God. Make yourself cheap and you will have a cheap husband. Make yourself qualitative and you will have a qualitative husband. When you come across a determined person he will play like the psalmist as we read in today’s devotional text.

That is the prayer of the righteous single sister or brother who says, “Teach me about marriage, I will stick to it and follow the processes. I don't want to fail my God. I have gotten the vision of heaven and I want to be there. I have heard of hell and I don't want to go there. Even if there is a delay in the approval process by the marriage committee, I will learn righteousness by enduring it for the delay may be for my good. He that hasteneth with his feet sinneth. 

Help me to follow your commandment. It gives me joy when my obedience is fulfilled.” Let the church give good testimony about you. Love the testimony of the Lord in a man or woman, not wealth, position, fame or otherworldly considerations. Sometimes the person you want to marry may not be handsome or beautiful but that is vanity. Do you know how beautiful mammy water can be; even Satan?

Spend more time in the things of God than marriage. 

Colossians 3:1-4, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” 

Let your mind be in heaven. Don't be overburdened or go into sorrow because of the marriage issue. Seek for heaven and pray for its righteousness. I am married to Jesus Satan leave me alone should be your song. Don't yield to Satan; then, you will get reward, guidance, peace from Jesus. 

Thought for the day: Brother, Sister, keep yourself pure for Jesus your groom will soon arrive.

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

Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 5-7; Mark 12:1-27

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. 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...
