FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made that at the beginning made them male and female."
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: I COR. 7:2
"Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
GOLDEN TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:31
"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."
Brethren, I want to reveal to you something great in this gospel. Today everyone calls on the name of Jesus, but they do not practice Has teachings. When you take a look at the world's high level an education, institute of learning, churches, and the government of the day, each of these fields do call on the name of Jesus but they neglect His teachings.
By reading these three lessons, it is obvious that you know what it is all about. You have also seen the world caught naked in vain philosophy, contrary to Gods ordained purpose. People today claim that, they out of sympathy for the left over women, play the role of the (good Samaritan) in accumulating concubines for themselves. Such people readily quote Solomon who married seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines. This is foolish conception. Does It mean: that If your father made a mistake and because of the mistake he died, you being his child would repeat such mistake and also face death?
I want to reveal this gospel to you so that the whole world may know, so that those who out of ignorance would have perished may get saved. Some Bible scholars have it that it is only the Bishop that should marry one wife, others say, it is the Pastor, some refer to the elders of the church. But what does this Bible text say? At the beginning God created male and female and why then do you seek for the third party? Adam and Eve were just one companion. No one is given a license to marry more than one wife. Or do you want to tell me that Adam was a Bishop, Pastor or an elder of any church? This is not a matter that concerns church or any form of worship. This church business is something of recent years. We are speaking about an Issue that concerns all the children of God.
God's word is beneficial for teaching and for setting things right, so that when you hear and practice them you may get saved. As you find yourself now, so were the whites but they were actuated by the word of God and they immediately took steps to amend their former marital status and compiled with God's ordained purpose of one man one wife. This is a must notwithstanding whether you are a church-goer, juju priest or what this rule must be kept. You must marry only one wife in your life.
Let no man deceive you that you can marry as many wives as possible. Anyone who does that is a condemned person before God and will receive his punishment accordingly. The tribulation, distress, unrest and deaths that the world is facing today is because they have violated the law of God. God is one. One Father, One Son. Therefore that one entity must be maintained in marriage.
WHAT GOD HATH JOINED TOGETHER LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER:
Tell me if you are joined to a woman and you take another woman into this union where are you going to fit in this new comer? Undoubtedly there is going to be trouble, quarrel, fighting, distress, ill-health, unrest even death. These are what polygamous life has brought to mankind. Never should you take this matter lightly, it is a serious matter before God. However, I am not going to reveal or deal with the type of punishment God has for the polygamist in this gospel. It is terrible and dangerous if any man falls and put asunder what God hath joined by marrying more than one wife.
The lack of Love, patience, interest about the child of God, lawlessness emanate from the violating this divine purpose for man. In order for you to be more convinced about God's joining a man and woman as a pair, but one, let us now examine the births of the first woman Eve. In her first birth, she has twins one male and one female. In her second round, she brought forth another twins - one male, one female. They came in pairs. But why was Eve so blessed with twins? This was so in other to correspond with God's arrangement from the beginning, He made them male and female.
When Cain killed Abel his brother, Adam knew his wife again, this time Eve gave birth to a baby boy to take the place of Abel whom Cain slew. You can now see your vain reasoning, in which you claim that with just one wife reproduction will be slow. The mandate of multiplying is not within your power.
If our forefathers made the mistake and took to polygamous life would you also emulate them, now that the truth has come? I know that not all are destined for perdition, but for those who are for life should take this chance and correct themselves and escape the impending punishment on lawless ones. Although a mistake made in ignorance may be liable to lesser punishment, but a willful violator of God's law cannot escape full punishment. I want you to know this, whether you have been preached to or not, but as long as you were created by God, you must marry only one wife.
THE PICTURE OF A POLYGAMIST'S HOME
Take a look at a polygamist home: the ruins, confusion, hatred, bitter jealousy, division, quarrel and day to day fighting, yes, from the beginning it was not so, for God made them male and female. This issue does not require any preaching at all. You are just one and not two.
It is because people have over-stepped the boundaries of old. Did you not read from the scriptures that God created male and female from the beginning. For just as the woman is out of the man so also the man is through the woman, but all things are out of God. In the western world, this principle is strictly kept, whether you are a millionaire or not. It Is because of this act of obedience to God's divine purpose in marriage that God's face shine on them. Those who do not want to marry remain in their community, and they do not mix with the married ones. This is not an English law, it is God's divine Order in marriage and it is accompanied with untold blessings to those who practice it, but to the rebels, woes and untold sufferings.
I am speaking to you people in this country, Nigeria, who claim to be wise in your vain thinking that women are more than men. And as such polygamy should be encouraged. Some critics say that men were killed during the war, therefore reducing the population of men. These are no criterion for you to marry more than one wife. God's law is one. Any imaginary or technical interpretation to it, is contrary. Such ones are rebels and must be punished by God.
Why people attribute their sufferings and tribulation on ghost, demons, witches and evil forces and conclude that there is no God, is because thy have violated the divine principle of marriage. How then can they see the love of God and his divine guidance? Solomon did so and this landed him in apostasy and adversaries.
Christ said, "I have many things yet to say to you, but you are not able to bear them at present. However, when the one arrives, the Spirit of truth, he will teach you and will declare to you the things coming." Look! The Comforter is here to guide you into all the truth.
Since many people have made this mistake and some erroneously have come, we must have the reverse, back to the Garden of Eden where it started. The ratio is clear: one is to one and the answer is one. There is no more ignorance of the whole issue, One man, one wife. That is all.
These are those who were predestined to live a celibate life, I am not speaking about these ones. I am concerned with what touches man and woman relation in general. It is lack of self control, wrong desire that induce people to many more than one wife. In this way mankind have violated God's ordained purpose for marriage. If you count all those who were polygamists in times past, you will agree that none of them had peace with God. You can imagine the calamity that befell David because of marring many wives. You are also aware of the woeful end of Solomon in the exercise. Also the Israelites who were polygamists, the disastrous end they faced. Yes, they did this in ignorance. What of you today who is marrying more than one wife? What type of life are you enjoying? Your personal experience in this undertaking should dictate to you that you are off the rail.
Belonging to any religious organization, praying and the singing of songs are no signs of being a man of God. To be a man of God, You must practise the instructions of God and one of the foremost instructions is marrying only one wife. You should be content with one wife; only those who keep to this rule see God face to face and have his face shine upon them. Such ones see the glory of God. It is said that obedience is better than sacrifice. Your subjecting yourself to vigorous fasting, prayer and singing of songs will not save you if you contravene this law. What God had joined together, no man should put asunder. No woman so joined to a man has any right to seek a release by entertaining another man. And no man after being locked in this wedlock has any right whatsoever to seek another wife; either for a change or otherwise. If any of tie party who have now become one, seeks legal release such one is a rebel and must be punished by God. On the point of separation and rights so deserved and kept by God, I do not intend to discuss that In this gospel. The main issue is that of marriage in God's purpose. No matter what race, colour, language or creed, this ordained rule must be adhered to.
God is angry with those who are marrying more than one wife. That is why the scriptures say: "Let marriage be honourable among all and the marriage bed undefilled, for whoremongers (fornicators) and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13 verse 4). It does not matter whether you did it ignorantly or not the judgement is on you. Although you will not be flogged but as you know that fire burns and if you put your finger to it, you would be burnt. A house that is divided can not stand. A city divided against itself cannot stand either. This is the trouble in the world today. You marry this woman today and the next day you are seen with another. You are fond of changing women, spreading illegitimate and delinquent children everywhere. Yes, this is the house or city that is divided against Itself, It cannot stand, It must collapse in judgement.
No matter how deep the love of a wife to a husband is, from the day the husband takes another wife, such love must come to an end. All the care, tender affection, compliment will take their leave. Christ said, whosoever shall put away his wife saving for the cause of fornication causeth her to commit adultery and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. When once you are stuck to a wife under no circumstance should you seek another wife, unless on the ground of adultery or fornication, besides this and contrary to this rule, it is an offence before God and such ones must be punished by God. Did Christ not say: "Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up. Let them alone they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fail into the ditch." Anyone who marries more than one wife, all the additional wives are not approved by God, such ones are facing judgement and they certainly would be rooted up. Sarah married Abraham in this order at the age of seveny-five years and immediately the call from God met them to move out of their country unto a land that they would be shown. Abraham took his wife, Lot has brother and all their substance and moved out. They both lived without an issue up to 99 years when Abraham was promised of a child. During these years of Sarah's barrenness, Abraham was not perturbed and he was not tempted to marry another wife or to seek a release. Another man that man of God, Zechariah and his wife, Elizabeth. They lived together as one without a child. They continued in this order and did not seek for another wife in there to have a child, as the case is common today. Both were righteous before God, walking in the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly. That is the report. They had no child because Elizabeth was barren and they both were now well stricken in years.
This is the ordinance of God: This is not a matter of money or wealth in which you may say prevents you from serving God. It is a matter of obedience. I am quite aware that you had no teacher all along, that is why I have come. I am speaking from the high heaven and releasing this vital message to the entire world of mankind, those living now and those to come. It is a standing stature to time in-definite. All those who want life and wish to see good days must comply to this ordained purpose for marriage.
It is an undisputed fact that 99% of the tribulations on earth and even deaths are caused by the violation of this order. Marriage is a happy union in peace, harmony as father and mother dwelling together as one flesh. Having Christ as the Head. Now that you have multiplied wives for yourselves, do you not see yourselves in hell fire? May we have the first Bible lesson read.
FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made that at the beginning made them male and female."
Brethren, had the world heeded this vital instruction? Why this reference was made by the Lord Jesus Christ was due to the question by the Pharisees, who came up to him, intent on tempting him. They asked: Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on every sort of ground? Naturally, a woman cannot exist without the man. In reply Christ told them, "Did you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will cleave to his wife and the two will be one flesh? So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God had joined together let no man put apart."
Many married men complain that since they got married they have experienced more difficulties than when they were single. They term marriage to be hell fire and trouble arena. Have you examined yourselves carefully that you have not overstepped this divine rule for marriage? Can you say of truth that you are not licentious?
Men of old were fully mature before going into marriage. Some live up seventy years before considering this most important contract. What do you see today? Young men and women even before the age of puberty plunge themselves to this serious yet divine assignment - marriage. People of old were not privileged to see the Lord Jesus Christ, and of course his perfect blood was not poured at that time for them, yet they sanctified themselves and treated marriage as sacred by following the laid down rule by God. Today people ask why the men of old lived longer than those of today. You have heard of people like Adam, he lived 930 years. Abraham lived a hundred and twenty-seven years and a host of others. Yes, they lived longer because they followed the ordinances of God and people today die young because they overstepped the boundaries of the ancient. You have now heard of Noah, how old he was. His days amounted to nine hundred and fifty years and he married only one wife.
POLYGAMISTS - OUTSIDE THE ARK
The eight souls who were saved from the deluge were all monogamists. They were as follows: Noah, His wife. Noah's three sons and their three wives respectively. In my whole existence, I have never experienced mass polygamists as in this generation. You have averted the divine law of God as respect marriage. That is why you do not have blessing and peace in your life and you do not live longer as ordained by God. There was no polygamy in the ark and polygamists were outside the ark and were destroyed by the deluge. The eight souls who were walking in the commandments of God were preserved to form the nucleus of this generation. Do you resemble them? Do you resemble Noah? And what about Lot? He married only one wife. The Bible record shows that his only wife because of disobedience became a pillar of salt during their escape from Sodom. What about Joseph, through whom the Israelites were rescued? He had only one wife. Today many parents complain of lack of respect by their children. They talk about children being delinquent and disobedience, of course you are reaping what you sow. Do you yourself obey God? What about his divine instruction on marriage - one wife one husband? You are the cause for the establishment of juvenile courts for your obstinate children, because you marry more than one wife.
This is not a new teaching or doctrine. It is not from Moses, angel nor from Christ, but just as Christ put it: "from the beginning it was not so." When people ask you why they have wars and are suffering, tell them that it is because of marrying more than one wife and sexual immorality. No one can enjoy marriage, whether you are white or black, if you violate this divine rule of one husband, one wife. This is why you have broken homes, divided household, lack of peace, hatred, enmity, separation, divorce, fighting, quarrelling and death God knows you, up to the day that you keep to the rules of marriage and remaining morally clean.
But from the day that you multiply wives and become loose, you are separated from God. You have become a rebel. Consider the obedience in that young boy Isaac. He was very humble and obedient to the father even to the point of death. Abraham led his only son to offer as a sacrifice, the boy followed him, even when it became known to him that there was no sheep for the sacrifice other than him. The altar was set in order, Isaac's hand and feet bound with no difficulty at all, and Abraham put out his hand and took that sharp slaughtering knife to kill his son; what a fearful phenomenon? Yet Isaac was calm and unshuffled. Can you compare such obedience with that of your children today? Not at all. Your son would have started fighting with you and peradventure have you killed instead.
The whole world is in a dilemma. That is why I continue from day to day teaching you. I know with God all things are possible. Let us recall that outstanding quality of humility and obedience that was in Isaac once more it was time when he had at attained the age of maturity, he obeyed his father by not taking a wife from the daughters of the Canaanites but waited on his father to make the choice for him. Abraham had one of his servant to swear that he would not take a foreign wife for his son. But the servant said to Abraham: "What if the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land; must I need bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou comest?" Abraham said unto him, "The Lord God of heaven which took me from my fathers house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that are unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land, he shall send his angel before thee and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence."
You must know that Isaac had no courting with the girl in question. He had no knowledge about her. The servant of Abraham went out for the search of a wife for Isaac. And it came to pass that the first girl they found was Rebekah the cousin of Isaac the record says, the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her. Negotiations were reached and Rebekah was brought to the young man Isaac. They were joined together in marriage for life. What of your own case? Is it in this manner? You can see the truth in this matter, from the beginning what you are now seeing was not so in marriage. God created male and female. There was no room for fornication and adultery or for people seized with sexual heat. Not at all. Nevertheless, because of prevalence of fornication, let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband so that you may have God's approval and so that his face may shine unto you. Pay attention you lustful men and argumentators of this generation to reading of the second Bible Lesson.
SECOND BIBLE LESSON: I COR. 7:2
"Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
Brethren this is the voice of the Lord. One man, one woman. There are people who have not attended school or church, but have just been keeping to this rule of conduct naturally. Such ones have seen God's favour and his undeserved kindness. They flee sexual immorality and lawlessness. They by themselves, do not observe this rule as a law given them by God, but as moral goodness. Such people live happily whether they have to sat or not. Their children are disciplined and very obedient. Such people cannot offer any reason why they are peaceful, happy and so contented. The simple reason is that they keep to this moral instruction from their creator God.
You have heard that judgement will commence from the house of God. Now God, his Son and the Holy Spirit is here for the judgement. For this reason, you are equipped for the impending judgement. Therefore, tell the world about this, whether you are a millionaire, Head of State, Prime Minister, whatever you are and whosoever you may be, you must keep to this code of marriage conduct. Be you a Bishop, Pastor, Apostle, Elder, spirited person or just a member your entitlement is, one wife, one husband, contrary to this is fearful expectation of judgement and condemnation. It is true that you have gone astray, therefore take the initial step, a reverse to the instruction of God, practice it. It is said, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
If you choose to be celibate and able to control and contain, this is better, but if you cannot contain, it is better to take a wife than to be burnt with passion. Stick to one wife. Can you tell me why Christendom preach that only the Bishop should be a husband of one wife? Here the Holy Scriptures say: let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband. Let it become known to all the inhabitants of the earth, the churches of Christendom, the pagans, religious organizations, institutes of learning that this is God's standard of marriage: One man, one woman is the ratio, there are some people who pretend to be celibate and parade as single men and women, but very licentious and suffering from mania. God will judge them. Such ones must suffer as murderers. What you call "boy friend" or "girl friend" in this world is fornication in disguise. This is not marriage at all. This is where you put yourself into fire. What then is adultery? It is sexual infidelity of a married person with another married one. You can run to where you like, but bear in mind that God will judge you. What you are toying with is something very sacred before God.
If a man would not leave his father and his mother and be joined to a wife, how would this scripture be fulfilled? And you woman who refuses to marry and pretend to be single, do you not know that you have violated God's law? By acting contrary to God's arrangement, you cannot escape punishment. Similarly, a man who says he does not want any woman in his house, but continue to toy with sexual immorality cannot escape God's punishment. For God had so ordained that for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and two shall be one flesh. Take note "the two" not three, four or five, etc. Sexual union with any woman can not be interpreted to mean this oneness spoken about. You cannot say that you got married to two women the same day. That one you first married, remains your legal wife forever. This is the only one that you become one flesh.
It is written, "let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil neither tempteth he any man; but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." The lust that is lack of self control, draws you out to fall. Do not follow the example of the Israelites, they were punished because immorality was great. This generation Is very lucky, because they have been warned of the impending judgement.
Have you not seen that this law about marriage being so expounded is one of those things that Christ had but could not reveal to his disciples for they were not able to contend? Solomon married many wives, but only his first wife was his legal wife. He suffered because of multiplying wives to himself. An adage has it that what is sweet in the mouth of the sick person is what he will eat and die. Since the world takes pleasure in immorality and loose conduct they must also meet their doom there, yes that is why they are suffering today.
Let everyone take to heart this instruction. Flee immorality. Escape the punishment ahead by keeping to God's Instruction now. They are those who turn deaf ears to this vital warning, and they are felled with disgrace, shame and suffering in, their lawless exercise. There are two conditions now for you (1) if you are sure that you were ordained to remain single or to live the life of celibacy be faithful to that course. (2) If you are not in the latter group, do not deceive yourself, marry only one wife. If your wife sleeps in death, this is another ground to take another one wife, in the case of a man; and in the case of a woman, she can seek for one husband. But as long as you have left your father and mother and join to a wife, whether the wife is ugly, not serviceable or otherwise, you are not authorised to take another wife. There is no room for testing ground. The same thing applies to a woman. Whether the man is poor, sick, or any discovery of natural weakness, she shall not form any ground to look for another husband. Remember, that the wife does not exercise authority over her own body, but her husband does, likewise also the wife does. Do not be depriving each other, except it be with consent for time, that ye give yourselves to fasting and prayer and come together again, that satan tempt you not for your inconsistency. Remember that the body belongs to the Lord and as you know, care must be given to what belongs to another person. The Lord Christ being the head of you two has come now to inhabit the body, his own house, his dwelling place. He expects you to sanctify it and to meet you in peace. Your body is for the Holy Spirit to dwell. He is here, would you allow him to dwell in his house? Of course it is natural that a house owner has the right to occupy his house. Therefore glorify God in your body.
GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY:
Food for the belly and the belly for food, but God will bring both of them to destruction. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. There is absolute need for self control in this aspect. Adam and Eve after they had five children they prayed to God that what they had was just enough. That was why they lived so long and they thereafter continued living together as brother and sister. This is not the case with you, you who claim to have only one wife. That one wife is subjected to conjugal intercourse which is fornication and adultery with your only wife. Do you treat her as your flesh? Do you not deprive her right, sometimes without her consent and under severe stress? God is not a respecter of persons. God is here to save obedient mankind.
From today, let everyone who cannot control his or her heart marry one wife, or to only one husband. Once again, I repeat a polygamist, a fornicator and adulterer will not escape God's judicial decision. Ignorance of the law is no excuse from punishment. God's anger is blazing, his judgement is ready, that is why this message is given to all who love life and would want to see good days. You are forewarned. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. To the women, I say, any woman who cannot control her heart, let her have one husband. God loved the world so much, he does not want you to perish as the day of judgement is approaching, you are warned so that you may not be caught unaware. A word of advice to those intending to marry. Before you marry, make sure that you are not a second husband or a second wife, otherwise you will marry trouble. May we have the golden text.
GOLDEN TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:31
"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."
Brethren, out of the mouth of the three witnesses a case established. There are more than two witnesses for this cause, therefore it is established.
The kingdom of God is not eating, drinking, marrying but righteousness and peace. The parallel is very conclusive, because Eve came out of Adam and Christ came out of Mary. This is the cause. You are not to join yourself with a harlot in fornication nor to another married person in adultery. You must be joined together in harmony, peace, happiness, love, mercy and cordial wedlock, which is grounded in God's righteousness.
At the beginning when God created Adam, he caused a deep sleep on him, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh and from the rib he took from man, God made the woman, Eve. For this Cause, man and woman must dwell together as one flesh. If you are a man you can only perform the duties of a man but not of the woman and so does the woman. However, some women because their education or status in life flippantly claim to stay without any man or feelings. Other claim to perform what a man can do. They are deceiving themselves. A woman is just a woman and nothing more. Stop deceiving yourself, look for a man now when it is not late.
Brethren, those who have ears to hear, let them hear. May God bless His Holy words - Amen.
