More Comments And Clarifications On Family Planning 

Tuesday, March 19th

Text: Genesis 35: 16 - 20
Key verse: Psalm 127:3 “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD; and the fruit of the womb is His reward.” 
Be wise in making decisions. Someone may decide not to give birth to many children because he may not be able to cater for them. Some of them may end up as vagabonds and not even go to school. God is not against that wisdom because He does not want you to have wayward children. However, God gave Jacob many children; twelve boys and a girl. Jacob was fruitful indeed and multiplied and replenished the earth. Some people desire to raise large families like Jacob. They are not sinning. If there are enough resources and they decide to raise large families, it is not sinful. The one that gives birth to one or two is not sinning either. Let everyone be convinced of what he can do. The scripture does not compel one couple to replenish the earth. Let each family apply wisdom. Many women die during childbirth because their bodies become so weak that they can’t pass through anymore. Did they go to heaven? We are not clear. Do not misapply scripture. Don’t give birth to children that will cause trouble in society; you will be responsible for making human settlement difficult by wayward children, Eli died because of his wayward children.  
Comment: There are methods and drugs which doctors use to prevent conception. The natural method works sometimes and sometimes it does not because in some homes, the woman may agree to use the calendar method but the man may not cooperate.  
Clarification: I am grateful you understand because some people rather abuse us. In fact, some have left HOREMOW, as seen from the internet because Pastor permitted the use of contraceptives. Surprisingly, some of them are not even married. Some people refuse to use medicines. What about praying without results? When Jesus said, “O Lord, remove this cup from Me”, was it done? So, in addition to faith and prayer, God has made other provisions. Do not be misled and die in ignorance.

Thought for the day: Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Song for the day: My wife shall be a blessing, my children around my table …

Bible reading for the day: Judges 17-19

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...
