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

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...
