TOPIC: COUNSELLING IS ESSENTIAL FOR MARRIAGE RESTITUTION

TEXT: JOHN 4: 13-19  
SATURDAY JULY 29TH

Key verse: John 4:26 “Jesus saith unto her; I that speak unto thee am He.”
Question: A man got married but after two years the lady left him and got married to somebody else. The man also got married to somebody else. After four years he separated from the second lady. Afterward, he came in contact with holiness and began his restitution. He went to look for his first wife and discovered that she died four years back. Later, the brother got married again in holiness to somebody else. Should he have married the second woman who is an unbeliever? 
Answer: He married his wife and separated from her then married another lady and also separated from her. The first woman got married to another man but died later. The man repented and decided to do restitution. The second woman left because she was not a wife, so the man is free. Suppose the woman was still there when the first wife died? You will then take note that the second woman has never been a wife from the beginning until the first woman died. If the man knows that the first woman has died and realized that he had been staying with a harlot, he has to decide whether she becomes a wife or to release her to go her way. Now that the original wife has died, he can decide to marry the second one but they have already separated. 
Yes, he can take that decision if they were still together. If he does not take a decision despite his knowledge and allows that relationship to continue, silence means acceptance. He has accepted to marry her; his silence is a decision taken, so she automatically becomes his wife. He cannot send her away again but if at the time he had an opportunity to make a decision, he took a decision not to marry her because it was not a good relationship and the woman was still an unbeliever, he can decide to marry another woman. Of course, he is free to marry another one now that he has discovered that his wife has died, he can marry another person after praying through to know the will of God since he is now a believer.

Thought for the day: Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled

Song for the day: My wife shall be a blessing, my children around my table…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 56-58; Acts 28:1-15

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 ...
