DIVORCE 2

-

Text : Matthew 19:6 

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate.”

A number of the so called high and mighty in the Christendom today,  are now engaging in the very act of divorce or are teaching people that it's better to divorce than stay in a marriage that is not working. 

No matter how much their argument appeals to common sense, it still goes against the instructions of God.

Jesus Christ, our perfect example told us that Moses told them of the Old Testament to give a bill of divorce to their partners simply because of the hardness of their hearts.  But He immediately concluded  by saying that "from the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:6-7.

So why would you indulge in what was not the intention and will of God for your life?  As a matter of fact,  why would you engage in what God hates? 

The best way to avoid divorce is actually before you say *'I do'*. Before you tie the knot,  see to it that you are in the will of God. 

On different occasions,  when I have the privilege of counseling people who are facing real life issues in their marriages,  after listening to some of the unprintable dilemmas some of them were facing. Out of compassion or pity,  I always feel like having the power to licence them to opt out of the marriage. But, I  know God's stand on this matter. Hence, we always trust God to bring about a turn-around in their Union. And He sure does. 

However,  it is better to be safe than sorry.  If you are single, I congratulate you! This is the time to take the word of God in 2 Cor. 6:14 very serious.  *Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?* 

And if you are married,  and there seems to be turbulence in the boat of your marriage,  today,  the one who instituted marriage,  The God of peace Himself is speaking His PEACE into your home. (Amen)

Bible reading: Matthew 19:1-12.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
