The Lord’s Complaint 3

The Lord’s Complaint 3
Malachi 2:13-16 – For I am against the putting away of a wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and against him who is clothed with violent acts, says the Lord of armies: so give thought to your spirit and do not be false in your acts.

Don’t Dishonour Marriage!

Marriage is the only institution established by God at the creation. God Himself is the founded, inventor and owner of marriage – Genesis 2:20-25. God so much honour marriage and we can see it in the marriage between Christ and the Church that in no way Christ has put away the church despise the church doings [the church here is you and I] – Ephesians 5:25-33.

There are ways in which marriage can be dishonoured and these ways are through divorce and through fornication/adultery. Let’s look at these ways!

God joins in marriage – Matthew 19:6,8. With God, there is no room for divorce in marriage except for infidelity [but infidelity can be forgiven as it all depends on love of the cheated and repentance of the cheater]. Please read, Jeremiah 3:8, Matthew 5:32, Mark 10:2,4,5.

Illicit sex outside the one you marry also dishonour marriage and God is not happy with illicit sex in marriage and even among the single. This is because sex has a strong mystery just like marriage – 1 Corinthian 6:16. Illicit sex defiles the marriage in total because a third person is introduced into the marriage and God wants marriage to be only for two persons – Exodus 20:14, Matthew 5:28, 1 Corinthian 7:10-11, Hebrews 13:4.

Beloved, human and the human laws are not God and God’s mind respectively. What God is saying about marriage is the final. Don’t dishonour your marriage and don’t divorce your marriage partner. May God give us the grace to deal faithfully with our partner and in our marriage. Shalom!

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...

A Song of Praise and Thanksgiving

By Date -
Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves, We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; — Psalm 100:3-5 NKJV A Song of Praise and Thanksgiving Enjoy the verse insights on this passage from  The MacArthur Study Bible. Verses 100:1–5 This well–known psalm, emphasizing the universal nature of God's kingship, is a benediction to the series of psalms which are occupied with the Lord's kingdom rule (Psalms 93, 95–100). Most of it is a call to praise and thanksgiving, while verses 3 and 5 fix the reasons for that worship. Verse 100:3 Know.  In the sense of experiencing and being completely assured of the truth. The LORD, He  is  God.  A confession that Israel's covenant God, Jehovah, is the only true God. Made us.  Though God's actual creation of every human bei...
