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

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...
