MAKE GOD YOUR FIRST LOVE, NOT YOUR SPOUSE.

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: SUNDAY 25th JULY

TOPIC: MAKE GOD YOUR FIRST LOVE, NOT YOUR SPOUSE

TEXT: Luke 14:26-27

Key verse: Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment
 
Scripturally, husband and wife are one flesh. Bible says in Matthew 19:5, “And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?” But they are not one soul or spirit. 

Bible says in Ezekiel 18:4, “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” 

This means the race of heaven is individual. The eternal destiny of the wife is not necessarily the husband and vice versa. Though joined together in marriage, each person of the union has his and her race of salvation to run. The righteousness of the husband cannot save the wife; neither can the righteousness of the wife save the husband. There is no marriage in heaven. 

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 

This being the case, wisdom demands that you live your life in such a way that your husband or wife does not interfere with your relationship with God. Give your body to your spouse but not your soul. Your soul belongs solely to God and Him only shall you give account on the last day. 

Wife, submit to your husband's instruction as long as it does not run against the commandment of God. God is higher than your husband. Husband, love your wife and do all within your means and power to satisfy her as long as you do it without violating the commandment of God. 

Do not compromise on God's word to please your wife or husband. If your husband insists you must put on jewellery or trousers or makeup to remain in his house, don't succumb. He is not greater than God who forbids it. Take his matter to God in prayer. It is better to lose your husband than to lose Jesus. Remember that Jesus is the Bishop of your soul.  
Thought for the day: Don’t transfer God's love to any man or woman. It is a sin.

Song for the day: I want to love You more and more….Jesus, I want to love You more…. 

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 44-46; 
Acts 25.

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...
