Marriage Is A Lifelong Relationship

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies.

Marriage Is A Lifelong Relationship
Text: Romans 7:2-3

Sunday 11th January 

Key verse: Proverb 5:18 “Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.”
God is the author of marriage institution. God expects that the relationship in the marriage institution should be for life and not to be truncated in the lifetime of any of the spouses. Our key verse says, “the wife of your youth”, meaning that as you are growing up, be careful who to marry or get married to, because that man or woman will not just come for a while and later be discarded. The scriptures reveal that you are bound with her for a lifetime, which is until one of you dies. Brother, the matter is so demanding that you cannot use her and throw her away. Sister, the institution is so demanding that when you enter into it you cannot abandon it and run away. It therefore means that as you are growing up as a young man, aspiring to get married, know that God wants you to enjoy life with the wife of your youth at all stages of your life, whether at age 30, 40, 60, or even 80, as long as you have the strength; so she is the wife of your youth, except she dies and another one has to come in. Otherwise, it is that one the Lord is talking about.
Any woman outside, apart from this wife of your youth is a stranger. Proverbs 5:20 says “And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?” Why must you embrace the heart and breasts of a strange woman to your own heart? God said that He gave that right only to you on the woman of your youth. Similarly, “My daughter, why would you embrace a strange man and give your heart and your breasts to a stranger; a strange man who is not the husband that married you in your youth in the right sense of marriage?” The emphasis here is that there is no second wife or second husband in marriage as long as your first spouse is alive.

Thought For The Day: If God is behind your marriage, there will be peace and joy.

Song For The Day: Lord give us Christian home…

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...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
