GET YOURSELF PREPARED BEFORE MARRIAGE

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

TOPIC: GET YOURSELF PREPARED BEFORE MARRIAGE 

TEXT: JOHN 2:1-11  

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 13TH

Key verse: Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?  
God is interested in marriage. Jesus performed His first miracle at a wedding in Cana. The intending couples are to make necessary preparations before the wedding. Among other things, the brother must have a suitable accommodation of at least one room equipped with household materials, such as a bed, bedspreads, pillows, chairs, stove or cooker, kettle, cooking pots, plates, cutleries, etc. The marriage committee (mc) should ensure the suitability of the proposed accommodation before the wedding day is fixed. The MC is expected to carry out a physical inspection. The would-be bride should have enough dresses and things pertaining to women. 
Preparation should start once a brother is mature for marriage; even before visiting the mc. A house with a sitting room, a bedroom, bathroom, toilet, kitchen, and store should be the vision of any brother who is old enough for marriage. Work towards it. The would-be bride is expected to be a woman of resource while the husband-to-be must of necessity be gainfully employed so that they do not become a liability to the church or family members after their wedding. 
The intending couples are to appear before the MC some weeks before the wedding for a final interview to determine whether the ceremony will be held or not. God’s glory should be the priority of the couple. The wedding program and wedding dress must conform to the approved pattern. Nothing extra should be used on the wedding day by the bride and groom who have not received approval from the marriage committee (mc). The MC should not approve anything that has not received the approval of the International Director. The intending couple can invite as many people as they wish, not for pride but to preach to sinners and edify believers. 

Thought for the day: Go about your wedding in a way that will bring glory to God. 

Song for the day: Jesus must be honored, must be honored (2x) … 

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 23-24; 2 Corinthians 5

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...
