TOPIC: IMPORTANCE OF PARENTAL CONSENT, COURTSHIP AND WEDDING
 
TEXT GENESIS 24:50-58 

KEY VERSE: GENESIS 24:51: Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master`s son`s wife, as the LORD hath spoken. 

When a sister or a brother has known the will of God in marriage, medical test is required under the supervision of the marriage committee, before the brother is allowed to see the sister or the sister to see the brother as the case may be. 

After this, the brother and the sister need to be introduced to each other`s parents for their consent. Where there is resistance especially, from the parents of the woman, both must take it to God in prayer and wait for the way to be cleared. There must also be careful enquiry as to the marital history of each one in the courtship to ensure that he or she is not lawfully married before that time. 

After parental introduction, courtship can start with the guidance of the marriage committee. Courtship is a period for familiarization, discussion and planning for the future home and family. This is because you are separate entities. Thus, courtship is the time of discussion. How many children do you want to have? Some may desire only one while other may think of many. 

Courtship fellowship and discussion should be done in a secure place to avoid temptation to unclean behavior. Such secured place includes the house of a mature married couple, the church building or any appropriate place suggested by the leadership. 

A supervisory eye on them is required from time to time. People in courtship should not be left to each other. All long journeys and visitations to relations should have the accompaniment of a brother or a sister for spiritual security. 

Satisfactory settlement in dowry payment and other legitimate demands of the parents should be done to obtained the release of their daughter for marriage. Ungodly demands should be politely and firmly rejected, neither should money equivalent be given. The wedding ceremony must be devoid of worldliness and must show the grace and glory of God. 

Thought for the day: let all things be done decently and in order. 

Song for the day: In the presence of God Halleluiah Joy 3x. 

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 5-8

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
