THERE IS NO REVERSE GEAR IN MARRIAGE

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC:  THERE IS NO REVERSE GEAR IN MARRIAGE

TEXT: MARK 10:10-12 

SUNDAY APRIL 16TH 

KEY VERSE: “The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 7:39).
The law of marriage binds a husband to his wife and the wife to her husband as long as both of them are still alive. Divorce and remarriage to another person are not allowed. Whoever divorces and remarries when the marriage partner is still alive has no part in the kingdom of God. He or she is committing adultery. 
“For the woman which hath a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband is dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband is dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.” Romans 7:2-3. 
If you are married to another person apart from your first scripturally binding marriage partner, you are in a wrong relationship and must dissolve it, if you want to please God. You should go back to your first lawfully marriage partner or stay unmarried. There are those who say that adultery committed by one of the partners in a marriage can result to divorce and remarriage. This is a wrong interpretation of the scriptures. The issue being referred to here as basis of divorce is fornication, not adultery. Unfortunately, some Bible translations replace the word fornication with marital unchastely. Fornication is a sin which is committed by someone who has not yet entered into the marriage union. The word of God settles this matter that under the present dispensation, no sin can cause divorce. If adultery can, then other sins including lying or stealing can as well. They cannot be separated because the two have become one according to scripture. Those who desire to marry should study issues well so that the do not marry someone already married and get damned due to immorality. If you have married wrongly, such ungodly marriage must be dissolved.

Thought for the day:  Look well before marriage and stay on once married. 

Song for the day: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word

Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 19-21; Luke 15:11-32

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
