TOPIC: FACTS THAT PROVE ADULTERY CANNOT CAUSE DIVORCE (2)
TEXT: 1 

CORINTHIANS 7: 12-13  
FRIDAY DECEMBER 8TH

Key verse: Malachi 2: 16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that He hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.” 
4: Believers are instructed to remain bound in marriage to their unbelieving partners as long as the unbelieving partners desire to remain married to them. The unbelieving marriage partner which the believer is instructed to condone with commits every kind of sin, including adultery certainly. By this, the Holy Spirit is showing that no sin is strong enough to break the marriage bond. 
5: God loves children and seeks to protect and save them; hence He hates divorce. Divorce does a lot of harm to the children born into the family. One may reason thus: "Will not God also seek to protect the children born to the unlawful marriage?" The God of mercy is also the God of truth. He will not lay aside His eternal truth to show anyone mercy. 
6: Adultery in marriage does not separate the marriages of sinners around us in the world in which we live. Many of our unbelieving neighbours forgive and condone with the adulteries of their marriage partners. Should sinners become more reasonable, forgiving, patient, enduring and loving than the saints? It is not too much for any believer to forgive the adultery committed by his or her marriage partner because even sinners do the same! The Lord of the church has given us a righteousness not lower, but higher than that of sinners. 
7: The Lord has confirmed this truth to many of His servants that saw Him face to face in a divine encounter. Divorce and remarriage to another partner when the first lawful partner is alive is damnable in hellfire. 
Finally, if the unbelieving marriage partner departs from the marriage, such one can go. The believer is guiltless of the separation and should remain peaceful in Christ. 

Thought for the day: The Lord has confirmed this truth in divine encounters.

Song for the day: The grace of God is sufficient unto me…

Bible reading for the day: Daniel 11-12; 3 John 1

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...
