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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
