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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
