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

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...
