TOPIC: THE SCRIPTURE FORBIDS DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE  

TEXT: MARK 10:11-12 
11. And He saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.”

KEY VERSE: ROMANS 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 

Ignorance of scriptural truth has given room to divorce and re-marriage, even among professing believers and ministers of the gospel. True Christian marriage binds a man to his wife and a woman to her husband for life. There can be no remarriage to another person so long as the marriage partner is alive, however sick or sinful. Church, sickness, barrenness, tradition, and parents have no power over God's word. 

And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 1Corinthians 7:10-11 

Divorce and remarriage is accepted on the ground of fornication, when one of the intending partners in marriage becomes unfaithful or sinful after engagement but before the marital union is solemnized. In that case the engaged partner has lost relationship with God due to fornication. Binding marriage engagement was a custom among the Jews. See the case of Joseph and Mary in Matthew 1:18-25.  

Jesus practically demonstrated that when marital union has been consummated, unfaithfulness resulting from adultery is equal to every other sin committed in the marriage, hence if adultery can cause divorce and remarriage, then every other sin in the marriage can also lead to the same. 

See John 8:1-12. If God has forgiven the believer all sins, including all forms of fornication and adultery indulged in as a sinner, He expects the believer to forgive his fellow all sins including adultery also. 

Thought for the day: God expects the believer to forgive his fellow all sins including adultery. 

Song for the day: Visit me, father visit me; as you visited the men of old… 

Bible reading for the day: John 16-17

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...

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.  13.

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
