GOD MADE MARRIAGE FOR THE FLESH, NOT FOR THE SOUL

God bless you for taking your time to study.

GOD MADE MARRIAGE FOR THE FLESH, NOT FOR THE SOUL

TEXT: GENESIS 2: 21-25 

MONDAY OCTOBER 31st

Key verse: Matthew 19: 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female 
There are many who think they are in a marriage relationship when actually it is not so by the scriptural standard. Where the Bible has not proved such a relationship to be a marriage, the continued cohabitation of the two on the assumption that they are husband and wife is seen by God as fornication or adultery. Oneness in marriage relationship is only a matter of the flesh, not in the soul. Our text today shows a husband and his wife are one flesh in marriage. When God created the man, he became a living soul when He breathed into him. The woman also became a living soul when God breathed into her. They are different. God says, “All souls are mine. The soul that sinneth, it shall die”. 
Marriage is not the two partners becoming one spirit or one soul but one flesh.  We talk about the flesh when we refer to the physical. We talk about the soul and the spirit when we refer to the spiritual.  It goes therefore that, that which cannot be seen with the naked eyes, is not in the equation of marriage. Rather, marriage only relates to that which can be seen with the naked eyes. Marriage joins the man and woman together which we can see and touch but not their souls which we can neither see nor touch. 
Therefore, the authority of the man over the woman is limited to matters of the flesh. It is not in everything that the man can exercise authority over the woman because the spirit is accountable to God only. Man! Let the woman serve God the way she wants because she will defend it before her God. The same thing goes for the man. Woman! You cannot force the man to do your will. No! He has a soul. That soul is accountable to God. The man has a spirit accountable to God. The spirit is not to do your will. Both the spirit and the soul of the man and the woman are to do the will of God. 

Thought for the day: Your Creator created you for His will, not yours

Song for the day: Every living soul, every living soul, praise the Lord

Bible reading for the day: 
Jeremiah 29-30; Titus 1

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. 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...
