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

GOD'S WORD NEVER FAILS

Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the law, established for the Salvation of souls. God's Word has never failed, and will continue to remain established, forever. Though the heavens vanish away like smoke, the Earth grows old like garments, and all of its inhabitants die, the Word of God, which reveals righteousness and grants Life to anyone who believes and receives Jesus Christ as their personal Lord, and Savior of the World, will continue to abide forever, fixed through His Divine Grace; for He is the Eternal Rock of Ages, Who remains Holy.

Furthermore, the Word of God, Jesus Christ, unites man and God, through the covenant relationship He established when He offered His body and blood complete with forgiveness. When we receive this seed into a soft heart, with the desire to serve Him in love, as faithful servants committed to bring more souls to the Salvation of the LORD in Jesus, for the advancement of God's Kingdom; by living like Christ, this makes even the blinded to see the love of the Father, through experiencing the One who is greater, living in us, by the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, Who testifies, revealing our identity as Christ's, to all who need Salvation and total redemption from the kingdom of darkness, into marvelous light.

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, for your Word is sure and your covenant is established in my life, in Christ Jesus; 

Amen.

From Luke 16:17

PRESSING INTO KINGDOM GRACE

The knowledge of God's Kingdom, Jesus Christ established, has been made known to all, from the days of John the Baptist; revealed in the love of the Messiah and permanently proven with the gift of the Holy Spirit upon everyone who believes and confesses Jesus as their Lord and Savior, even as we continuously serve Him in Truth and in the Spirit. This makes many, who are seeking for breakthrough, Divine restoration, and complete freedom from the captivity of sin, death, and darkness, willing to receive Christ: the only Way that leads to eternal life!

Furthermore, as we endlessly proclaim the Gospel of God's Salvation in the Christ, who said we would do greater works than Himself, for all who are in dire need of His redeeming Grace, this will make more souls willingly press into God's Kingdom, which is not brought through reading the Prophets nor obeying the Law, but the revelation of the perfect Son we personally believe has come, and is coming again.

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, Jesus Christ, for making me a vessel to declare your Good News to all nations, that more souls may continue to press forward into your Kingdom with dedicated hearts and devoted spirits, in your Holy name;

Amen.

From Luke 16:16

GOD KNOWS OUR HEARTS

We do not need to try justifying ourselves before anyone. Rather, as new creations, we should continue believing in Jesus, who took sin on Himself, to make us innocent before the LORD, and be loving in each of our dealings; for He knows the thoughts of everyman, searches their hearts, and understands the intentions of every action taken or done by a person. He is the Omniscient God who knows all things, is our strong defender, and He alone makes all things right. Whatever action we take, should be for God's glory, and the advancement of His Kingdom, and never to seek praises from men, which may lead to pride, self-justification, or to neglecting the truth that we are nothing, without God.

Although, we might be encouraged in the Church and appreciated for showing love to others, yet we should not feel proud; rather, we should relentlessly give all the glory to the Potter, for while sinners, He first loved us. However, if those stuck in sin against the Word, which is Forever, or any fleshly culture, match our attitude, and together we are defending old actions over conscience or conviction, these puffed up people achieve nothing permanent, because all of God's enemies will soon be still bodies, once made in the image of the one they crucified, but Our Father rose again, to offer humankind everlasting life.

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, LORD, I give you all the glory, honor, and adoration for making me a vessel of your glorious works, Strengthened to live for Christ; looking forward to your Kingdom,

Amen.

From Luke 16:15

FOCUS ON GOD ALONE

Our service to the LORD, our Creator, the Great I Am That I Am, YAHWEH, should remain undiluted or undefiled; not influenced by the lust for worldly treasures, pleasures, and possessions, for they only build up or create both physical and spiritual barriers between man and God. When man's attention is being divided amongst two or more, whom he believes to be his source of peace and sustainance, he is gradually deviating from the one and only true God, who can not be served with other gods.

Moreover, it's easier to remain focused on one than two, because a kingdom or body divided against itself can never stand uprightly, rather it would be constantly shaking, moving to and fro, at the presence of temptation and trials, yet he who stand on the Solid Rock, Jesus Christ, will always remain comfortable, having a Blessed Assurance of His Divine Grace and protection, even in the midst of the ranging storm. So, remain focused on God and no other, through faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord, bearing fruits that remains for His glory, and it shall be well with you.

PRAYER: O' LORD, thank you for keeping me focused on my Christ's Calling, advancing your Kingdom through your Word, for the redemption of souls, in Christ Jesus;

Amen.

From Luke 16:13

FAITHFUL SERVICE

Being a faithful servant, requires full submission and selfless service done in love, with true dedication, from a compassionate heart; for the LORD loves all who serve Him from the depths of their hearts. He who serves with a heart dedicated to one beyond himself, and a devoted spirit, will surely able to wisely use the Master's reward in due time; for our faithfulness to the LORD, and service in love to others, for the glory of the Father, counts.

Furthermore, the grace given to us as God's servants, called to uphold the truth, and proclaim the Good News to all, in love, should always be in use at all times, even as we remain steadfast to our Christ's Calling, that we as faithful Servants of God, may be deserving of more when our eternal inheritance comes. Now we hope for it, as we reject possessing anything of our own or doing our will, called while it's day, to declare His glory on Earth, and baptize others.

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank you LORD, for the glorious call of Salvation, being of service in your Vineyard to declare the Gospel to all, for the Salvation of souls,

Amen.

From Luke 16:12

FAITHFUL AND JUST

As true Christians, and citizens of God's Kingdom, being Heirs of the Father and labourers in His vineyard, we should always remain just in our Earthly dealings and faithful with the little we've each been given now, that we may be deserving of His eternal reward and Divine inheritance destined for us as Overcomers in Christ Jesus. By putting the life which has been given to us into good use, for His glory, we are revealing our worthiness of receiving more, which makes the LORD to elevate us from glory to glory, as faithful Stewards of the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, let's endeavor to always remain faithful to our Christ's Calling, and never relent in believing, unto trustworthy dealings, for He who works faithfully to the end, will surely be worthy of the Crown of Glory, as beloved brethren with Christ.

PRAYER: Our Heavenly Father, thank you for granting the Grace to serve you in truth and in the Spirit, being equipped with the Holy Spirit, to remain faithful to the end, and be deserving of the Crown of Glory in Christ Jesus;

Amen.

From Luke 16:10
