DIVORCE

Marriage is a union ordained by God to depict Christ and the Church, but divorce was never intended by the LORD, from the beginning of creation. The hardness of man's heart, not being forgiving towards his life-time companion, made Moses to permit it (Matthew 19:8). Though it was permitted for cases of unfaithfulness, Jesus Christ said the separated partners are not allowed to marry another, yet in today's brutal world, even emotional torture leads to divorce, for the safety of the victim; she can only turn to God, for Love which satisfies.

Moreover, every marriage which is built on love, needs to accommodate the Spirit of forgiveness, endurance, and mutual understanding within both spouses, that the Bond between them may never be broken. Still, if the need for divorce arises, both parties should come to the realization, and accept the fact that they are not to remarry except to themselves, or in the case of the passing of one member of the promise before God, since they are already one body for life, under the covenant relationship of marriage (1 Corinthians 7). So, be careful, and seek God's guidance before marriage, and the wisdom of many counselors. While being married, love your spouse from the depth of your heart, for God loves You, and you are one, united with the covenant of marriage, that there may be no room for divorce.

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, Heavenly Father, thank you for every marriage established in your name, for the purpose of companionship and procreation. Please, continue to strengthen us not to separate what God has joined, and the bond of the united body, that there may be no room for divorce;

Amen.

From Luke 16:18

GOOD NEWS CAUSING DIVISION

The lack of understanding and misinterpretation of the Gospel of Christ, leading to disagreement, causing division among men, even in the Church, is as a result of many who only seek to obey different traditions and doctrines in order to justify themselves, simply trying to satisfy their feelings, to proclaim self-righteousness before all. Yet living by these religious traditions of men, one can not be justified by works of the law, but by faith in perfect, innocent Christ Jesus (Galatians 2:16).

Furthermore, the acceptance of man-made doctrines, religious traditions, and sinners who selfishly call themselves believers, by some neglecting the teachings of the gospel in Christ Jesus, is the source of many divisions amongst family members, friends, and also in the Church; from here, deceivers need to be cast out and no longer associated with, even if no longer allowing evil deeds in the body leads to the creation of different denominations, having different standards of worship.

So, let's come together in great unity as Christians, only embracing the teachings of Christ in common, as the New Covenant, established in love for the Salvation of repentant souls, in Christ Jesus, the Righteousness of God, seeking wisdom through our communion with the Holy Spirit, for a Divine understanding of the Gospel, that souls may be discipled rightly, for the Vineyard service, when its rightful owner returns.

PRAYER: LORD, thank you for the revelation of the Gospel in Christ Jesus, through the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, which gives us Divine understanding to live the life of Christ, being separated from all evil, for your glory in Christ Jesus;

Amen.

From Luke 12:51-53

ONE KINGDOM STANDING

Every kingdom divided against itself is destined for a great fall; even the forces of darkness unite under a rebellious leader to cause the destruction of many, because they know: they only have a limited time to exist, the Sons of God are growing in multitude daily, advancing God's Kingdom in love and unity through the proclaimation of the Gospel, and where demons are being cast out, all over the World, people are being Saved, baptized in the same Holy Spirit, and likewise sent. The demons of darkness and agents of wickedness also unite to cause spiritual weakness by tempting God's vessels, with the intention of separating them from Divine protection, grace and glory. Yet, the lives of the Righteous in Christ Jesus, remain established and rest in the Hands of God, where they are always protected; for the LORD fights their battles, and keeps them safe from all evil.

Therefore, let's endeavor to remain united under the Lordship of Christ, never allowing anything or anyone to separate us from God's love and our Calling as Brethren in Christ, that we may remain spiritually Strengthened as Overcomers, being more than Conquerors in Christ Jesus, breaking barriers and strongholds of the devil, to fulfill our purpose in life as Christians; we are united with the mind of Christ.

PRAYER: LORD, Jesus Christ, thank you for uniting us as one in the body of Christ, to live for your glory, as every day, we strive to advance your Kingdom, which remains established and will always abide, because it's founded on love, through Christ our Lord, forever,

Amen.

From Luke 11:17-18
