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

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...
