Matrimony is Christian marriage, consent between a man and woman who have received the life of Jesus Christ Crucified on Calvary and He has permitted them to manifest marriage as their vocation on earth(Matthew 19:12), this consent is declared publicly at any choice accepted by the would-be-couple and church-hirarchy before a representative of Christ based upon your fellowship/Church/Denomination-hierarchy-choice and matrimonial blessings. Parental consent and gifts from the groom to their in-laws are part of pre-matrimonial processes which is called *marriage-engagement* but it does not define *Christian-marriage or permit sexual-intimacy between the would-be-couple* unless where the engagement and Christian marriage takes place the same day and time. *Bride-prize and kindred list* does not define *Christian-marriage* though some people make it a part of *marital engagement rite*, Adam did not pay any bride-prize for Eve(1st literal marriage in the bible; Genesis 1 & 2), Abraham's eldest servant gave the gifts *he could afford* to Rebekah and her parents for the marriage of Rebekah to Isaac(An elaborate literally marriage in the bible; Genesis 24:1-ff). The 1st person who sought to pay a definite prize stated by the parents of the bride is Shechem because He has *raped Dinah before coming to ask for her hand in marriage* (Genesis 34:1-ff) which even lead to bloody revenge from the brothers of Dinah. Great Grace Brethren!!!

Sincere encounter/hunger with the Grace released by the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary for the salvation of every human being existing in the Heavens, Earth and Under-world is the *only access to the on-going-revival* in this our generation...

Jesus Christ Crucified loves You/I
Repent now and believe in HIM because the next second might be too late...

The new life that Jesus gives establishes you in peace, joy, love, victory and righteousness in the Holy Spirit even as you pass through temptations, enjoyments, persecutions, miracles, trials and favours in this earthly existence.

May the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary never be *wasted unto eternal damnation/hell-fire* in our lives through the unlimited manifestations of His Holy Spirit who convicts our hearts towards repentance from sin as well as convince us to believe the gospel in Jesus Name. Amen.
