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

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...
