The Place Of Children In Marriage Restitution    

Friday 21st March

Text: Acts 3:21
Key verse: And as many as walk according to this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. Galatians 6:16.
Marital restitution in the New Testament involves only the husband and the wife, who were wrongly married. This does not include the children; the children remain his own. He remains the father of the children. In the Old Testament, children were also involved. In the case of Isaac and Ishmael, God knew there would be confusion and rivalry between them. For the child of promise is Isaac. Why should there be a rival? Why should there be confusion for the child that I have chosen? See, Ishmael is already mocking. How will the future be? Get him out, so that Isaac can have a smooth running, and fulfill My plan. That was specific in that case, not in general cases. So, restitution does not involve separation from children born by the woman who has to go, no, it does not involve that. When the man is sending that woman away, he should keep the children because they are his. Except there is the consideration of the tenderness of the child, who may still need the mother. She may go with the child because she is tender. Where there is such consent, it can be done. 
Again, it is good for a man sending away a woman, to give a worthy portion of his material wealth as a gift of love to her, to show he appreciates her. “I am not sending you away because I hate you. I love you but the word of God demands this to be done.” Give her a gift of love. It should not be a struggle. Though the property in marriage belongs to the man, God expects you to do justice to her, because she is a human being too. The woman must live, even if she does not have a child for you. She must have sufficient resources to live her life and never be hurt because of restitution. Man! In obedience, do your best to bless that woman, so that both of you would be peaceful in Christ Jesus.
Thought For The Day: Children should not hinder marriage restitution.
Song For The Day: I want to be like Daniel (3x) to follow Jesus Christ.
Bible Reading For The Day: Ruth 1-4

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...
For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
