HYMN: 22 - SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER!


1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

that calls me from a world of care,

and bids me at my Father's throne

make all my wants and wishes known.

In seasons of distress and grief,

my soul has often found relief,

and oft escaped the tempter's snare

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!


2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

the joys I feel, the bliss I share

of those whose anxious spirits burn

with strong desires for thy return!

With such I hasten to the place

where God my Savior shows his face,

and gladly take my station there,

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!


3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

thy wings shall my petition bear

to him whose truth and faithfulness

engage the waiting soul to bless.

And since he bids me seek his face,

believe his word, and trust his grace,

I'll cast on him my every care,

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

TOPIC: GOD HATES DIVORCE


MEMORISE:

“For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.” - (Malachi 2:16)


READ: MARK 10:2-9 (KJV)


2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.


3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?


4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.


5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.


6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.


7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;


8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.


9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.


MESSAGE:


God designed the marriage institution to be sacred (Genesis 2:24), but unfortunately, many people in the world today do not see it that way. Many married couples treat their businesses and careers better than their marriages, and expectedly, the divorce rate has become alarming across the world. God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16); hence, His children should never toy with it. When a couple gets divorced, they go against God's commandment not to separate what He has joined together.


I know some people seek divorce because they consider their marriages 'hell on earth'. While I sympathise with them, the truth is that no amount of pain on earth can be compared to an eternity in hell. Divorce is not God's will; it is the hardness of man's heart that made Moses permit it among the Israelites (Matthew 19:3-9).


The pain of divorce is also often very deep. It negatively affects families and can be felt for several generations. It opens doors to many vices and a lot of the decadence we see in the world today. Yes, spouses should separate when lives are threatened and then trust God for a full restoration of the family.


Married couples must stay rooted in the basics of marriage (Ephesians 5:22-33) just as successful athletes who want to remain relevant must stick to the basics of their sports. Unconditional love and submission, sacrifice, reverence, and God's word are the basics of marriage; if couples stick to them, they will experience bliss and peace in their marriages.


Married couples must pray together regularly. They must remain vigilant and never be ignorant of the devil's devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). Sometimes, when the devil is after a married couple with children, his main target is not the couple themselves but their children since he knows that broken homes often, if not always, negatively affect children. Married couples should defend their homes and protect their children with the help of the Holy Spirit.


Beloved, if you are married, consistently stand in the gap for your marriage with prayers. God has restored many 'dead' marriages because one or both parties prayed and acted according to His word concerning their marriage. If you are planning to get married, you must prayerfully seek God's counsel before doing so. For Christian marriages to be successful, couples must ensure that their marriage is rooted in God's word and also ensure that they work together to nurture it with the help of the Holy Spirit. 


 PRAYER POINT:

Lord, please heal every home that is on the brink of divorce, in Jesus' name.

HYMN: 29 - WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDERS MY WAY 


1 When peace like a river attendeth my way,

when sorrows like sea billows roll;

whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,

"It is well, it is well with my soul."


Refrain (may be sung after final stanza only):

It is well with my soul;

it is well, it is well with my soul.


2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

let this blest assurance control:

that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

and has shed his own blood for my soul. 


3 My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!

my sin, not in part, but the whole,

is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;

praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! 


4 O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;

even so, it is well with my soul.

DATE: WEDNESDAY 11TH JUNE 2025


TOPIC: CLEAVE AS ONE, PART 3 


MEMORIZE:

"And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh." Mark 10:8 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: DEUTERONOMY 6:6-8

6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:


7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.


8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.


MESSAGE:

I’ll conclude my discussion on this topic by stating that God wants His children to enjoy their marriages, as we see in today’s memory verse. However, for this to happen, they must cleave to their spouses. When you want to glue two objects, they must be in close proximity.


When couples live in different states or countries for a long period of time, their children are usually affected negatively and may end up being raised by only one parent or other people. God instructed parents to train their children (Proverbs 22:6), but this cannot be effectively done virtually or by proxy. 


Parents’ physical presence greatly impacts the quality of training and also strengthens the bond between them and their children. When both parents live in the same house with their children, it is easier for the couple to monitor and correct them as required.


Zeruiah’s story is one of the most pathetic accounts about families in the Bible. Zeruiah was David’s sister, and she had three sons – Joab, Abishai and Asahel. Throughout the Bible, I observed that there was no mention of their father (1 Chronicles 2:16), and I’m inclined to think that this was because he was not as involved in the family as a good father should be. Family vacation packages


Although the boys grew up to become mighty men, they exhibited weaknesses that became their undoing. Asahel was a swift runner, and at one time, he ran until he was killed (2 Samuel 2:12-32). Joab’s hot temper made him go against his boss and uncle, David, until David placed a curse on him (2 Samuel 3:26-29). Abishai was rash in his attempt to kill God’s anointed, Saul, and David had to caution him (1 Samuel 26:5- 12). 


Another person in the Bible whose children didn’t turn out well was Eli. In my studies, I observed that there was no mention of his wife’s role in raising their children, so I was not surprised that they became sons of Belial (1 Samuel 2:12).


Living in different locations might be unavoidable for married couples sometimes, but this should only be for short periods of time. Single parenting is highly challenging, and I pray that God will give all single parents the strength and wisdom to raise their children according to His will. 


When both parents are alive and well, it is important that they work together to raise their children in the way of the Lord.


KEY POINT:

It is important for all parents to be actively involved in raising their children in the way of the Lord.

Long to dwell with Thee above;

TOPIC: CLEAVE AS ONE, PART 2 


MEMORIZE:

"Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." Matthew 19:6 (KJV)


BIBLE READING: PSALM 133:1-3

1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!


2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;


3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.


MESSAGE:

Today, I will continue my discussion on why spouses should cleave together. When a married couple live far apart from each other for a long period of time, they will both begin to change according to their different environments without realising it. As people grow older and have new experiences, they change, and if a married couple are not going through these experiences together, they may become strangers to each other after a while. By the time such couples finally come together, they will likely be shocked by their differences.


It is difficult to cleave as one with someone you are not living with. What creates strong bonds between some siblings is not just the fact that they were born by the same parents but that they grew up together and went through certain experiences together. This is also why childhood friends have a strong bond. If you really want to cleave as one with your spouse, you need to live through experiences together.


You may say, “We talk about our day on the phone every evening,” but that is not the same as physical interaction. When you study the Bible, you will see that couples who relocated did so together. When Abraham relocated to Egypt, he went with Sarah (Genesis 13:1). When Elimelech went to Moab in search of greener pastures, he went with his wife, Naomi (Ruth 1:1). Although their story was tragic, the lesson is that relocation should be a joint venture. When the angel appeared to Joseph to take Jesus to Egypt because of Herod’s murderous intention, the family went together (Matthew 2:13-14).


There may be some unavoidable situations that may require one partner to travel to another location first. However, in such situations, the family should not stay apart for more than six months before they come back together again.


It is not healthy for couples to cause a separation in their marriage just because they want to relocate to another location they consider to be ‘greener pastures’. Anything that will affect the unity of a marriage shouldn’t be considered or permitted. Couples should do everything possible to stay together because God commands it (Mark 10:9). When they are together, it is easier to pray and agree on certain matters. However, when they are in different countries with different time zones, it is more difficult. Cleaving to one’s spouse requires being intentional about bonding, being united, and living through experiences together.


KEY POINT:

It is important for married couples to be intentional about living through life’s experiences together.
