DIVORCE

-

 https:Text : Matthew 19:6 

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

The Spirit of the Lord has been nudging me to write on the issue of divorce for some time now , and I have been somewhat draggy(for obvious reasons). But He impressed it in my heart again today, so here we are. 

Because many people(Christians inclusive) are playing down on the topic of divorce, it seems as though God has finally understood our lowly estate and have lowered His standards on the issue of divorce. 

Well, the word of God is  forever settled in heaven. And this is what He has to say on the matter :

“ *Indeed, the LORD God of Israel says that he hates divorce,* along with the one who conceals his violence by outward appearances,” says the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. “So guard yourselves carefully, and don’t be unfaithful.”Malachi 2:16 ISV. 

It doesn't matter who is involved,  what the Lord said He hates, He can't condone it for anybody. 

You will do well to hate what He hates.

This matter of "divorce" has been raising dust since time immemorial, but when Jesus was asked, He said categorically that from the beginning it was not so. 

He told them, “It was because of your hardness of heart that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. But from the beginning it was not this way.Mat 19:8 ISV.

The devil is bent on destroying homes, because he knows that's the only platform where godly seeds are raised.  Do not cooperate with him to tear down what God has raised. 

 *What God has joined together, man (yourself)  inclusive must not put asunder.* 

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
