Because the   Lord   hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 15  And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16  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.

Ephesians 4:30 Read: Matthew 12:24-31 (KJV) 24  But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26  And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 29  Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will ...

Deuteronomy 31:6 Read: 2 nd Chronicles 32:7-8 (KJV) 7  Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: 8  With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the   Lord   our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

GODLY SORROW – Sunday October 30 th 2016 Memorise: Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4. Read: 2 nd Corinthians 7:9-10 (KJV) 9  Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10  For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Bible in one year: Zechariah 11-14, Psalms 90:1-6 MESSAGE There are different categories of sorrow; the ungodly sorrow and the godly sorrow. Ungodly sorrow leads to deadly actions that drag its victims to either temporal or eternal perdition. The Bible says that Cain was sorrowful because his offering was not acceptable by God. That type of sorrow was ungodly because it pushed his to commit a great sin against God. He became the first murderer in the history of man, a deviant one at that. The Almighty God asked him...

Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 6  But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. 7  Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 8  For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. Bible in one year: Zechariah 6:9-10:12, Psalms 89:38-52 MESSAGE To be a reprobate is very dangerous for the society and for the Christian faith in particular.
