God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study. 

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

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...

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
