TEACH AND ENCOURAGE PURITY IN MARRIAGE 
TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 4: 1-7
Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, 
but unto holiness.

God honors marriage. Jesus Christ the Son honors marriage and attended a marriage ceremony in Cana of Galilee. The Holy Spirit takes the marriage picture to illustrate Christ's relationship with the Church. Therefore believers should also honor marriage. The church should honor marriage. We should teach and encourage purity in marriage for marriage is honorable in all.

Again, we must marry honorably and preserve our marriages honorably. Don't despise marriage for it is an honorable thing. Don't say, I don't bother whether I marry or not. It is an honorable thing. And when you want to marry, marry honorably, holily and righteously. Don't abuse marriage because marriage is an honorable thing. Do nothing to hinder holy marriage as a father, mother, relation or friend. Do not hinder or affect marriage. Do not ever tamper with the marriage union because it is an honorable thing and God respects it. 

Again, rejoice with them that are in marriage. When people are marrying, feel happy with them. It is a good thing, rejoice with them. Again, attend the marriage ceremony of loved ones where you can. Why should a marriage be going on in the church and people don't think that anything is going on? They feel it's not an activity. Something that God honors, something God respects? Marriage is going on, you feel it is nothing when you will come and cheer up Jesus? Are you not going to welcome Jesus who is going to be there? Respect marriage and where you can attend it. 
Support intending couples morally and financially and bless the newlywed with gifts to make them rejoice and have a wonderful experience. It is an honorable thing. Show them that God has honored them as they enter an honorable institution. Bless them with gifts and praise God for His works in marriage. 

Thought for the day: Believers must honor marriage for God has made marriage honorable
Song for the day: To God be the glory great things He has done
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 41-42; 2 Peter 1

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
