LET THE MARRIAGE COMMITTEE GUIDE YOUR COURTSHIP

God bless you for taking your time to study.

LET THE MARRIAGE COMMITTEE GUIDE YOUR COURTSHIP

TEXT: Exodus 18: 18 – 24 

FRIDAY AUGUST 12th

Key verse: Proverbs 15: 22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established
Parental introduction and courtship can commence with the guidance of the marriage commitment. Courtship in marriage is a period given to the marrying partners for familiarization, planning, and discussion of their future home. This is useful to enable them to harmonize their vision, purpose, and desires since both of them are two separate entities. It could be that the woman as a single lady has been planning to build a Nursery-Primary school in her hometown while the man on the other hand is planning after his marriage, he will be relocating to another city for their livelihood to continue there. 
Exodus 18:23-24
23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all these people shall also go to their place in peace.
24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.
The courtship period is meant for them to prayerfully fuse their ideas in favor of the ones acceptable to them both. It is a time to discuss and agree on how many children they can conveniently carter for in their marriage. In this wise, there is a need for agreement between the intending couples and the leadership of the church.  The marriage committee and the marriage partners should both define the period of the courtship as should be suitable. 
The period should be considered short so as not to hurt emotions. The committee should put a supervisory eye on the intending couples from time to time to avoid wedding immoral people in the church of God. All their movement together during the courtship period should be examined and where necessary, a third party should accompany them for their spiritual security. 

Thought for today: If you take good counsel, you will marry rightly

Song for the day: I live for Jesus, day after day…

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 93-95; Romans 11:22-36

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...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
