TOPIC: OBEDIENCE TO GOD AND WISDOM ARE NEEDED IN MARRIAGE 

TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:22-27  

MONDAY OCTOBER 9TH

Key verse: Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.  
Wisdom is needed when things do not flow freely because of contrary circumstances. You may face temptations to compromise holiness in your marriage. Apply wisdom from God to enable you to leap over or maneuver around these circumstances. Obedience and wisdom will make you live the holy and righteous life that God expects from you in your marriage. He expects you to be perfect in marriage and family life. So, believer, stand up to it. Be vigilant because God’s demands and your challenges are great. Ensure you don’t fail. Always ask for help. 
Apostle Paul wrote to husbands and wives into the church of Christ and the Lord says He wants to present the church to Himself, glorious, without spot or wrinkle; holy and without blemish; and husbands and wives are members of the church of Christ. God wants to present you holy to Himself. Therefore, make sure you keep yourself holy so that you can be among those the Lord will present to Himself, among those Jesus will be presenting to the Father. In Ephesians 1:1-2, Paul introduced the recipients, “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.” 
So, the epistle was written to the saints, both male and female; husbands and wives. To the saints and the faithful believers in Christ Jesus. It is a command to people who are Christians. The epistle is written to you who are already a Christian and that you should ensure that you live according to the word of God in marriage. You are already a Christian but may be ignorant of this. Know the way God wants you to live and live the way He wants you to live; this is what God expects of you if you are a believer. As a married woman or a married man, one that is faithful in Christ Jesus. This word is coming to those who are considered to be faithful in Christ Jesus. 

Thought for the day: Prove yourself faithful in marriage for the sake of heaven. 

Song for the day: Make me perfect…make me perfect oh Lord… 

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 41-42; Colossians 1

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...
