MARRIAGE ILLUSTRATES CHRIST'S UNION WITH THE CHURCH  
TEXT: EPHESIANS 5: 25, 28, 32
Key verse:  Ephesians 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ 
and the church.

The Holy Spirit through the inspired writer uses marriage as a figure of the union between Christ and the Church. If our heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit honour marriage, then we should follow marriage and hold it honourably. Marriage illustrates Christ's union with the Church. Marriage is a lovely union as there is love between Christ and the Church. Marriage is a service union, of coming together where the man serves the woman, the woman serves the man. Jesus is serving us. See the great good He does for us in His service. “I am among you as he that serves.” And we are serving Him as our Master and Lord. 

He provides for us our needs, we serve Him. So, it is a union illustrating that a husband loves the wife, the wife loves the husband. Husband serve the wife, provides for the wife, and the wife serves the husband, honours the husband. It illustrates the relationship between Christ and the Church. It is a relationship of mutual benefit. Everybody gains from the union. We gain from our relationship with Christ, so marriage is a thing that illustrates the relationship between Christ and the church. The Holy Spirit used it to open our eyes to the relationship between Christ and the church. 

It is an eternal union because we are told that marriage is for life. Jesus and the believers joined together and live for eternity because Jesus does not die, therefore and the believers who will resurrect will also not die, the union is forever. Just as the husband and the wife are on earth, the union is throughout the days of their life until anyone dies between them. So marriage illustrates our relationship with Jesus, Take it, therefore, to be honourable and don't touch it. Don't break it. Don't interrupt that marriage. It is a message to the world illustrating Christ's relationship with the church.

Thought for the day: Marriage illustrates Christ's union with the Church
Song for the day: I am married to Jesus, Satan leave me alone…..
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 10-12; Hebrews 11:1-19

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...
