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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
