OLD VS NEW TESTAMENT ON MARRIAGE, DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE   1. Marriage is God’s design, not a human invention Key Scriptures: Genesis 2:18, 24 “It is not good that the man should be alone…” “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” → Marriage originates in creation, before law or nationhood. Proverbs 18:22 “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Proverbs 19:14 “A prudent wife is from the LORD.” ✅ Marriage is portrayed as God‑given, not culturally invented. 2. Divorce is permitted but regulated, never celebrated Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 24:1–4 → Divorce is allowed, but with: Legal process (certificate) Moral limits Permanent consequences (no return to first spouse) Malachi 2:14–16 “…the wife of thy covenant… therefore take heed to your spi...

  Faith is a central theme in the Bible, and numerous scriptures highlight its importance.  Faith, in the biblical sense, is not simply believing something exists. It's a firm trust and confidence in God, rooted in His character and promises, and evidenced by obedience and actions.    Hebrews 11:1 defines it beautifully: " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." It's more than just intellectual assent; it's a deep, personal conviction that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He has promised. The Bible often uses the word "trust" interchangeably with "faith" (e.g., Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart..."). This faith is demonstrated in tangible ways, as seen throughout Scripture. Abraham, for example, demonstrated faith by leaving his homeland and following God's commands, even when those commands seemed impossible (Genesis 12) . This is not blind fai...

  The New Covenant, established through Jesus Christ, is a vastly different and superior agreement between God and humanity than the Old Covenant.  The Old Covenant, centered on the Law given to Moses, emphasized obedience to detailed regulations as the means of relationship with God.   This system, while good in its own way, ultimately failed to provide the righteousness necessary for a perfect relationship with God.   As the prophet Jeremiah foretold, "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 31:31-32). The New Covenant, mediated by Jesus Christ, focuses on grace and redemption.  It doesn't abolish the moral law, but it transforms the w...

  WHO IS THE POOR? Sabrena Fenna                                                                                      August 9, 2024     According to the Word of God (the Bible), the concept of poverty and who is considered “poor” encompasses more than just economic or material circumstances.     Let’s explore this from a biblical perspective : Economic Poverty:     In Scripture, the term “poor” primarily refers to those who lack sufficient income or material resources. These individuals struggle to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. Some key characteristics associated with economic poverty include: Insufficient food: “ Then the poor among you may get fo...

THE RAPTURE AND SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST 🙏✨ WHAT IS THE RAPTURE? The hope of believers gathering to meet Christ, whether before or after a time of affliction, is symbolized by the rapture.  The term "rapture" describes an occasion when followers of Jesus Christ, both dead and alive, will be carried away from this world to meet Him. There is strong correlation between this incident and Jesus Christ's second advent. The Latin word "rapturo," which means "caught up" or "snatched away," is the source of the English word "rapture," even though the word itself is not used specifically in the Bible. 🙏✨😊 Two Main Views: Pre-Tribulation Rapture:  Some Christians believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. According to this view:  First, Jesus will come secretly for believers (both living and dead) in the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). The world will be unaware of this event, as it will happen suddenly and without warning. After the ra...

  GIFTS OF JESUS TO HIS BELIEVERS By Sabrena Fenna Our Lord Jesus leave gift for His believers so that they can go about their lives doing His will . Ephesians 4:8 Therefore it says, “When He ascended on high, He led captive a host of captives, And He gave gifts to men.” NOT REPENTED OF BY HIM- He does not take away the gifts he gave to us, isn’t that wonderful!!! Glory be to God!!! Romans 11:29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. STRENGTH AND POWER Psalm 68:35 O God, you are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God! Hallelujah!!! REPENTANCE- involves a change of mind and behaviour. It means turning away from sin and directing oneself toward God. Ezekiel 18:32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live! Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, “Well then, God has granted to the Gentile...
