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

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...

PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit.

It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
