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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
