THE CHURCH WEDDING AND MARRIAGE SOLEMNIZATION

God bless you for taking your time to study.

THE CHURCH WEDDING AND MARRIAGE SOLEMNIZATION 

TEXT: MATTHEW 19: 5-6: 

 FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 2nd

Key verse: Hebrews 13: 4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
The wedding is the solemnization of the marital union between two unmarried persons, a man and a woman by an approved minister of God before a congregation. Only after this are they considered husband and wife with the right to the marital bed. If you and your spouse decide on a wedding in the church, then it is expected that you are husband and wife only after the church wedding. It is only after this ceremony that both of you will have rights to your bodies. But if you have made yourselves husband and wife already, then the wedding solemnization in the church is a mockery of God. However, if you and your wife resolved to end it in traditional marriage, after your dowry payment the church wedding will not be required anymore. That is alright. Ensure you do that with the full consent of the church. 
Genesis 2:23-25
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
I am seeing strange things going on in some denominational churches these days where long-married couples are either resorting to church weddings or are rededicating their marriages to God in churches. These days you will still hear couples who had long been grandparents inviting special guests to attend their church weddings. These people have no job to do. Was there a wedding between Abraham and Sarah? Then why do they emphasize weddings? Some churches now make wedding part of the criteria for holding church positions and taking communion. Do not be deceived by these churches of ‘first touch. 

Thought for the day: It is not the wedding that matters but marrying in God’s will.

Song for the day: Heavenly Father, Thy will be done…

Bible reading for the day: 
Proverbs 1,2; 1 Corinthians 12

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
