MY POLITICAL PREDICTIONS (,not prophecy, who ordained me) FOR 2023

1. The so-called G5 will NEVER COLLECTIVELY and OPENLY back any opposition party.


2 Unfortunately, Atiku will emerge as our next president. Because of this perceived political hegemony by a particular section of the county;


3. There will be major political insurrections. The Jihadists in the North will gain more territories. The militancy in the East will greatly escalate. Nnamdi Kanu will be released to appease his people, but it will be too late. Also, Oduduwa nation promoters will GREATLY intensify their demand


4. The high level of terrorism and other criminal killings will lead to the creation of state. But is that the elixir? I no sure


5. All these political upheavals will ravage the economy. Prices of goods and services will TRIPLE.


Omo, this stanza dey fear person na. But that is how it'll probably pan out . The MENE, MENE ,TEKEL, UPHARSIN is just steering us in our faces. But there's HOPE and EXEMPTION for everyone whose name is written in the Lamb's Book. John 16:33. So in 2023, build a personal relationship with God by daily studying of His WORD for wheresoever the carcass is, there the eagles will be. Matthew 24:28

The item no 4 is the creation of State police

Yes. You are very correct. If you persistently reject the nudging of the Holy spirit, a time will come that He will totally leave you with a dead conscience and you may die in your iniquities.
For instance, embezzling money from your employer-whether government or private entities, are gradually not being referred as sin. People now see it as 'grace ', 'your work is your chop','other people dey doam 'etc
Once you developed this kind of mindset, you'll keep on rejecting the gentle conviction of the Holy spirit. [NLT] - John 16:8 And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. As the person keeps on silencing (sinning) the voice of the Holy spirit, He will eventually depart from the individual and we now see the individual as someone whose conscience has been seared with fire. [KJV] - 1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

loffyloffy:
It is the Holy Spirit as well as your conscience(which is a product of your choices up to that time) that convicts you of sin.

If the Holy spirit departs from you, which can happen as a result of your sin against the holy spirit..Who then will make you realise that you have sinned and therefore needs forgiveness?

It is that sin that you commit that result in the Holy Spirit departing from you, and hence you losing a consciousness of sin, that is the sin against the Holy Spirit.

You cannot be forgiven, because you will not be aware that you have and will therefore not ask for forgiveness.

My take

That is the way to go. Religion is not a major problem in Nigeria but the politicians is.

Since the the death of the Ekweume croner: mrs Osinachi Nwachukwu, many people have been quoting a particular scripture about God prohibiting divorce. But a detail searching of the scripture clearly shows that Jesus gave us a couple of concessions to terminate deceitful unions. I will encourage you to study the below listed link with your bible and see what the spirit is saying to the believers. Ignorance kills more than bandits.

Have you ever asked yourself why we do not have peace in the world-in spite of the fact that the yearning for peace is universal? The problem is not that we lack knowledge. The problem is the human heart, which by nature is self-centered. The Bible says,"What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight” (James 4:1-2).
Our greatest need is for the human heart to be changed. But how can that happen? Education is not enough. Peace treaties or more just economic or political systems are not enough. No, the only answer is God, for He alone can change our hearts. In fact that is one reason Jesus Christ came-to reconcile us to God so we could have peace with Him, and then to reconcile us to each other. “We love because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Have you come to know God’s peace in your own heart, by turning to Christ and asking Him to come into your life?

THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: SELF-CONTROL

Self-control comes from a Greek word meaning “strong, having mastery, able to control one’s thoughts and actions.”John Wesley’s mother once wrote him while he was a student at Oxford that“anything which increases the authority of the body over the mind is an evil thing.” This definition has helped me understand “self-control.”

Intemperance has brought about the fall of kings and tycoons. History illustrates this. Someone has said: “There are men who can command armies, but cannot command themselves. There are men who by their burning words can sway vast multitudes who cannot keep silence under provocation or wrong. The highest mark of nobility is self-control. It is more kingly than regal crown and purple robe.”

Elsewhere it has been said:
Not in the clamor of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.

Past history and current public examples illustrate how the excesses of
uncontrolled appetite and fleshly indulgence wreak damage in our hearts.
The sin of intemperance, lack of self-control, springs from two causes: first,
physical appetite; second, mental habit.
When we think of temperance, we usually think of alcohol. This is not unexpected because of the great efforts of temperance leaders who for years sought to eradicate this poison that affects so many people in the world. But somehow we silently countenance gluttony, which the Bible condemns as clearly as drunkenness. We also tend to overlook unkindness, gossip, pride, and jealousy. It is possible to be intemperate in all these areas, too. The Scripture says, “Those who live according to their sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have
their minds set on what the Spirit desires” (Rom. 8:5 NIV). Temperance, self￾control, as a fruit of the Spirit is the normal Christian life taking its exercise.

Temperance in our use of food is moderation. Temperance with respect to
alcohol is soberness. Temperance in sexual matters is abstinence for those who
are not married. Even for those of us who are married there may be times for
temperance, when we abstain by mutual consent from legitimate sexual activity
so we can give ourselves more fully to the study of God’s Word, prayer, and
good works (see 1 Cor. 7:5).

Temperance in regard to temper is self-control. Recently I was with a man
who parked in a prohibited zone at the airport. An attendant kindly asked him if
he would move the car as he was in a no-parking zone. Angrily he replied, “If
you don’t have police credentials, shut your mouth.” This Christian was so nervous and tense from shouldering so many responsibilities that he had almost totally lost control of his temper. He was intemperate. It was just as much a sin
as if he had become drunk.

Temperance in matters of dress is appropriate modesty. Temperance in defeat is hopefulness. Temperance in relation to sinful pleasure is nothing short of complete abstinence. Solomon wrote, “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city” (Prov. 16:32). The Living Bible paraphrases the latter part of that verse to read, “It is better to have self-control than to control an army.” The writer of Proverbs said, “A man without self￾control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls” (25:28 LB).
Paul taught the importance of self-control. Any athlete who would win a race
must train himself to become the complete master of his body, he told his readers. He emphasized that the goal was not merely a corruptible but an incorruptible crown: “Everyone who competes in the games exercises self￾control in all things They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. . . . but I buffet my body and make it my slave, lest possibly, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified” (1 Cor. 9:25–27).

In Peter’s list of Christian virtues, he says, “Add . . . to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience” (2 Peter 1:5–6 KJV). All these go together. And it is quite clear that when we allow our passions to rule us, the outcome at last is far more undesirable than can be imagined during the moment
of pleasurable fulfillment.

Who is to say where temperance stops and intemperance begins? Some Christians have an elastic conscience when it comes to their own foibles—and an ironbound conscience when it comes to the foibles of others. Maybe that’s why it is so easy for some Christians to condemn a person who takes an occasional sip of wine but never rebuke themselves for the sin of habitual
overeating. Compulsive overeating is one of the most widely accepted and
practiced sins of modern Western Christians. It is easy to condemn an adulterer, but how can the one who condemns do so when he is guilty of some other form of intemperance? Should each of us not have clean hands and a pure heart in all of life? Is one form of slavery more wrong in principle than another? Are we not just as tightly bound if the chains are made of ropes as of steel?

The appetite that controls one person may differ from the appetite that controls another. But if one person submits to a craving for possessions, is he so different from others who crave sex, gambling, gold, food, alcohol, or drugs? The need for temperance in every aspect of life has never been greater than it is today. At a time when violence, selfishness, apathy, and undisciplined living threaten to destroy this planet, it is imperative that Christians set an example.

The world needs this example—something steadfast it can hold on to, an anchor in a raging sea. For centuries Christians have proclaimed Christ as the anchor. If we who have the Holy Spirit living and working within us falter and fail, what hope is there
for the rest of the world?

Culled from Billy Graham's book, "the Holy Spirit "

Is there any notable difference between both of you?

There is no dignity in begging either online or offline. People should work harder and pray for divine uplifting.
Begging can never ever assuage one's economic needs.

I can remember vividly in the year, 2004 when I used the first money that I hustle after graduation to a stupid GNLD that a Rev. Introduced me into.
I wasted 25k then on that stupid business. Not only that, I trekked all the nooks and cranies Benin City hawking medicine
After this business debacle, it remain small may I use Stone Stone any body preaching all these food supplements stuff.
After enough hungry wire me for that City, na so I take run run back to my state and later got a contract job at the bank that marked the turning point in my life

Arresting before investigating is the hallmark of dysfunctional establishment
In civilised climes run by merit-not quota system, before an arrest of this kind is made, such suspect is put under clandestine monitoring which enables the authority to gather compelling evidence that will be enough to nail him in any court in the land.
Then once the suspect is arrested, it will only take the services of a very smart legal team or God intervention before the suspect can be left off the hook.
For naija,they will arrest you first, your people will look for money to bail you, then the police will commence their investigations afterwards

The sole purpose of life is to find our way (JESUS) back to God since Adam fell
As you are breathing, ensure that you have the ticket (JESUS) safely tucked in your heart.
This is because if you mistakenly left this earth without it, it gonna be eternity in the lake of fire

If you minus and subtract all the politicians thugs from all the miscreants such as kidnappers, agberos, armed robbers, terrorists etc, from our population, then you will know that Nigerians is full of good people

On the other hand, folks, it is very imperative that we start this year surrendering our lives to Jesus in totality because the time is pretty evil

At the very point of your mother's conception ,there were about a billion people struggling to get the chance but you over took because you know that you have the wherewithal to survive the topsy turvy of life.
Now, all you need is to hand over your situation and worries to Jesus and he will show you real love.
Back in year 2000, I attempted suicide but for now, I have everything possible that makes life comfortable. I have lived in Asia and currently doing here by the virtue of missing Jesus

Where is brother righteousness 89. This one week me

It was 1972. Our pastor came out of the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, where he had gone to pray for a relative of ours. Here’s my best recollection of what he said to us: “She was asleep, so I wasn’t able to determine what her relationship was personally with the Lord. But I never hesitate to pray based on the mercy of God.” That powerful truth, I believe, needs to be understood and practiced by Christians today.
 

Psalm 28:1-2  [The Psalmist King David prayed] “To you, Lord, I call… [2] Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help.”

Psalm 4:1  [King David again] …have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

King David understood a truth that is found throughout the Scriptures. That is, we serve a God of mercy. Think of that. If He were not a merciful God, He could have rightfully squashed all of us like bugs for our faults, failures, and sins. But thankfully, He is a God of mercy. And time and again His mercy has intervened and has even allowed us to enter into His great salvation, even though we have done nothing (zero!) to deserve it. As the apostle Paul wrote: “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us” (Titus 3:5, KJV).

Let’s take a quick look at some Scriptures that demonstrate God’s mercy in a variety of contexts. And remember our main point: Because He is a merciful God, it is entirely proper, and effective, to pray, “Lord, have mercy!” This can open up for you a new dimension of effective, answered prayer.

James 2:13b  Mercy triumphs over judgment.

The Scriptures clearly show that God has a perfect balance of love and justice, of mercy and judgment. God always does the right thing! That said, we find in James’s inspired words a wonderful principle that reflects the perfect character and actions of God: “Mercy triumphs over judgment.”

If this were only man’s opinion, we might quibble about specific cases of this. But this is God-breathed Scripture, telling us that from God’s perspective, mercy triumphs over judgment. Is God just and righteous in all His judgments? Absolutely. Thankfully, His heart of love and mercy towards fallen mankind is a pathway of appeal for us to receive His forgiveness and mercy instead of well-deserved judgment. Let’s look at some examples in the Bible of effective prayers to God for His mercy.

Psalm 51:1-2  “[Introduction] A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.”  Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

Psalm 41:4  I said, “Have mercy on me, Lord; heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

In Psalm 51 King David is referring to his sin of adultery with Bathsheba and his horrible guilt in orchestrating her husband’s death to cover the sin. In Psalm 41 David’s sin is unnamed. But the principle still applies: “Have mercy on me, Lord; heal me, for I have sinned.”

As we’ve read above in Titus 3:5, unsaved sinners can receive Christ’s salvation — through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21) — because of “His mercy.” Moving forward from that, as once-lost sinners now saved by grace, New Testament believers can turn to God in godly sorrow and repentance, beseeching His mercy for the forgiveness of any sins we now commit. Lest we ever become arrogant or, God forbid, take the Lord’s grace and mercy for granted, we must remember the apostle John’s counsel: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Fellow Christians, are you dealing with sin in your life? Through God’s forgiveness you can recapture that place of joy and peace in your life. Let godly sorrow for the sin(s) stir your heart (2 Corinthians 7:10, KJV). Confess the sin(s) to Him and repent sincerely before God, knowing that your heart cry of “Lord, have mercy” will be heard by Him.

Now how about the place of God’s mercy in divine healing?

Matthew 9:27-30a  As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” … [29] Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored.

Their case seemed hopeless; both men were blind. But they had in their hearts a hope that the Lord’s mercy and power would bring a result. “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” they cried aloud. After a brief dialogue in which the blind men confessed their faith in Jesus to do this, He healed their blindness instantly. And remember that this gracious demonstration of the Lord’s healing power was initiated by their appeal to Jesus, “Have mercy on us!”

The Bible has other examples of this mercy-healing response from the Lord. In Matthew 15:22-28 a Canaanite woman appealed to Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter. Her approach to Jesus began with, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy…Lord, help me!” (vss. 22, 25) And Jesus did exactly that right on the spot.

In another instance (Matthew 17:14-18) A man approached Jesus, knelt before Him and cried out, “Lord, have mercy on my son. He has seizures and is suffering greatly.” And Jesus healed the boy immediately.

The point of these several biblical scenarios is that an appeal to the Lord for physical healing was initiated by their prayer to Him to “have mercy!” I strongly encourage you to consider adding the thought of our Lord’s great mercy to your prayers and appeals to Him.

Psalm 78:37-38  Their hearts were not loyal to him, they were not faithful to his covenant. Yet he was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time after time he restrained his anger and did not stir up his full wrath.

This verse does not directly mention prayer. It was more a case of God’s amazing willingness to initiate the showing of mercy. Notice the context of the psalm. After their exodus from Egypt into the wilderness en route to Canaan, the Israelites consistently showed disloyalty to God and were unfaithful to His covenant with them. Amazingly, He forgave them and did not immediately destroy them. He held back His wrath against their sin and “time after time He restrained His anger.”

Why? How did they escape His just judgments? The answer is that, despite their rebellious sinfulness, “Yet He was merciful.” Understand, please, I am not saying that we should test or tempt God. Not at all! What I am saying is that, like the Israelites in the wilderness, there are times when we have displeased God even as His born-again children. When we have deserved judgment and wrath, we have received grace and mercy. Why? How? Because “He is merciful.”

Don't ever abuse God’s rich mercy. The apostle Paul wrote, “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?” (Romans 6:1-2, KJV) The obvious correct answer is “NO!” The apostle replied to the question, “God forbid!” Applying this principle, ask yourself: Shall I continue sinning so that God’s mercy can abound and be demonstrated towards me? And again, the answer is a resounding “no.”

Do not tempt the grace and mercy of God. But do be always thankful that, as James wrote, His mercy will triumph over judgment. Keep your heart right before God, and His mercy will watch over you and accompany you through this life, assuring you that God is not spring-loaded to wipe you out over every offense. Have a heart ready to acknowledge sin, to confess and forsake it, and to receive the Lord’s unmerited mercy and grace. As the Proverb says (28:13), “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”

The prophet Micah (7:18) was amazed at how readily God “pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance. You [God] do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.” Let that blessed thought sink in — our God “delights to show mercy.”

Daniel 9:8  Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.

The prophet Daniel reminded us of why we can appeal to God even in desperate situations. He said to the Lord, “We do not make requests because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.” Hear that carefully. There is nothing about any supposed self-righteousness of ours that triggers God’s answer to prayer. Rather, it is as the prophet said, “…because of Your great mercy.” Are you in a desperate, even hopeless, situation? That’s a perfect time to cry out to God, “Lord, have mercy! I need the help only You can give.” That’s the humble, God-honoring type of appeal that He delights to answer.

Hebrews 4:15-16  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

To sum up: God is merciful. His mercy triumphs over judgment. He often heals in response to a prayer for His mercy. His mercy restrains the judgment due to our sins, and as we confess and forsake our sins we find continuing mercy. And it’s not given grudgingly, but rather He delights to show mercy.

Therefore, we can come before God at His very “throne of grace” confidently with our needs and our prayers. What will we experience there? We’ll “receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

If God’s mercy has not been a part of your prayer life with Him, consider what you’ve seen in these Scriptures today. And add a sincere “Lord, have mercy” to your prayers, and then watch gratefully at how our God “delights to show mercy.”

The hardest thing for me to fully comprehend is that how women who knew the excruciating pain of child birth, will be the ones to be found mistreating, abusing, dehumanising,stealing, kidnapping and even killing other people's children?
Just look at that bundle of irreplaceable joy that she wanted to steal from her fellow woman because of useless Nigeria Naira.
We shall never be a victim of these evil people in this land in Jesus name. Amen

Missyajoke:
I don't think the bible supports divorce. Divorce is unbiblical.

That is why you should diligently and deliberately search the scriptures because it contain all the answers to the issues of life
Happy Sunday

Let me repeat the two biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage:

1. Marital infidelity (sexual unfaithfulness) by the spouse. The innocent party may divorce and remarry.2. A Christian’s unbelieving mate departs from the Christian. The divorced Christian is free to remarry.

In addition, it is my strong personal conviction that any and every divorce from one’s unsaved past is forgiven at the time of salvation.

The Bible says, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV). At the time of salvation, all things become new, and such divorced and subsequently saved people are permitted by God to remarry with his blessing. But the new spouse should be a believer (“he must belong to the Lord” — 1 Corinthians 7:39, in a related context). I would perform such a marriage personally if neither partner had been unscripturally divorced since his/her salvation.

But every minister must determine where his own heart is on this last situation, and he must stand before God for his decision with an uncondemned heart. “Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind” (Romans 14:5, KJV), Paul wrote in a different matter.

It is vital, in treating this topic, not to take license with God’s exceptions and expand them into promiscuous, unscriptural divorces and remarriages. But when God mercifully has made provisions in this area, then we, as God’s children, must stand by God’s word in the face of ecclesiastical traditions which, without mercy, bind people to situations for which God has provided release.

Believe God’s word. Heed Jesus’ warning not to “teach for doctrines the commandments of man ... making the word of God of none effect through your tradition” (Mark 7:7,13). As we have seen, God in His bible lists certain scriptural divorce and remarriage situations. Let’s obey the word of God in this critical area of people’s lives and have the same compassion on God’s people that He Himself has demonstrated.

Divorce & Remarriage
Can a Christian Do It? Is God OK with It? What Does the Bible Say About Divorce and Remarriage?Summary: Does God permit divorce? How about remarriage after divorcing? What about cases of marital infidelity? Or a believing Christian divorced by an unbelieving spouse? Christian leaders and church pastors hold a variety of views concerning Christian divorce and remarriage. My intent in this bible study is to offer some Scriptural answers. We'll look at what the Bible says about marriage, divorce, and remarriage after divorce?


Divorce and remarriage have been much-debated issues for literally thousands of years. This bible study cannot resolve every issue or cover every situation. My hope is to discover those clear and definite guidelines on this subject that are laid down in the Scriptures.

Any discussion on marriage, divorce, and remarriage should focus on: What does God say about divorce and remarriage in the bible? Let's begin with God’s initial pronouncements on marriage itself:

Genesis 2:18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
Genesis 2:24, KJV Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 1:28a God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.”

This biblical account records God’s intentions for marriage as He established it “in the beginning” (Genesis 1:1). Additional Scriptures reveal a fuller picture of God’s outlook on marriage, as well as on divorce and remarriage.

As a starting point, the following Scriptures give us a distinct revelation of God’s general, overall view of marriage, divorce, and remarriage:

Genesis 2:24, KJV Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Mark 10:6-9 But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate. (See also Matthew 19:4-6)

In these verses we see Jesus Christ quoting from Genesis. He emphasized that from the beginning God intended the husband and wife “not [to] separate” from one another. In other words, Jesus affirmed God’s prevailing desire for the indissolubility of marriage.

Jesus (and also the inspired apostle Paul) taught that marriage was intended to be permanent. Consider the following biblical declarations on the subject:

Mark 10:11-12 [Jesus] answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
Luke 16:18 Jesus is quoted again, saying, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
Romans 7:2-3 The apostle Paul taught that “...by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man.”
1 Corinthians 7:10-13, 27, 39 The apostle Paul’s teaching continues: “To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him ... [27] Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife ... [39] A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.”

These portions of Scripture would seem to support those who categorically oppose divorce and remarriage after divorce. And, indeed, God’s best plan for every married couple is that they remain married, and happily so.

But in a small number of very specific instances in both the New Testament and the Old, the Scriptures do give biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage. Honestly handling the Scriptures requires that we regard not just the general statements on the sanctity of marriage, but also the God-inspired exceptions to the general rule — that is, the small number of biblically permissible reasons for divorce.

The Bible itself requires that two or three witnesses be provided in order to establish certain things as truth. This is seen in the Old Testament Law (Deuteronomy 17:6), as well as in the writings of the apostle Paul (2 Corinthians 13:1). So we are looking for at least two, if not more, places in the Bible where God gives exceptions to His prevailing rule against divorce and remarriage.

I will quote seven such passages in the discussion that follows, showing these two unique cases in which God permits divorce and remarriage for Christian believers:

1. If a Christian husband or wife discovers that his/her mate has been sexually unfaithful, the spouse who is innocent of the marital infidelity is permitted to divorce the offending spouse and to remarry after divorce for that specific cause.2. If a Christian’s unbelieving spouse leaves the Christian (not vice versa!), then the Christian who has been divorced in this way is free to remarry. The former marriage has been dissolved.

Let’s look at the specific biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage after divorce mentioned in these two situations, bearing in mind that, as mentioned before, numerous bible verses confirm the prevailing sanctity of the marriage bond. But God in His Word has given some very specific, concrete exceptions to the indissolubility of marriage, and Christians are allowed to exercise these exceptions. But nothing beyond these specific biblical reasons for divorce is permitted by God.

Let’s first examine some bible verses about divorce and remarriage in the Old Testament:

Deuteronomy 21:10-14 When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife.... [13] After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.

This portion of the Mosaic Law permits an Israelite to divorce a wife he had taken from a captive nation simply because he was “not pleased with her” (vs. 14). This might seem like a rather loose permission. But note well that, for that biblical era, this was God’s Word! God cannot be shown in the Bible to be 100 percent against divorce in all circumstances. However, be assured, I am not remotely implying that God is permissive concerning divorce! To the contrary, Malachi 2:16 declares clearly that God hates divorce: “ ‘I hate divorce,’ says the LORD God of Israel.”

Let’s look at another of Moses’ writings in the Law:

Deuteronomy 24:1-4, KJV When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Under the Law of Moses, if a man’s wife found “no favour in his eyes ... some uncleanness in her”, God permitted divorce, which in the Hebrew means “a cutting off.” It was not simple separation, but a complete severing and annulling of the marriage bond.

If a biblical divorce and remarriage did occur under these Scriptural conditions of (1) some uncleanness being found in the wife and (2) a “bill of divorcement” having been given her by her husband, notice that the word of God labels this man as “her former husband.” Thus God seems to recognize his right to remarry after divorce, if the divorce leading up to the remarriage was for biblical reasons. Below is another Scripture portion showing divorcing that was consistent with the Law.

Ezra 10:2-3 Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, one of the descendants of Elam, said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel. Now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all these women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of my lord and of those who fear the commands of our God. Let it be done according to the Law.”

Israel’s men had taken Gentile wives and were under conviction to divorce them. The Scripture says that they were careful to “put away” (KJV) those wives “according to the law” of God.

Now let us look at some New Testament passages on this subject. The fact has now been established by Deuteronomy 24:1-4, and is yet to be proven further, that biblical divorce dissolves the marriage and permits remarriage after divorce. We will look at the New Testament divorce and remarriage Scriptures in their order of appearance.

Matthew 5:31-32 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.”

The Greek word apoluo, translated as “divorce(s)(d)” three times in this passage, means to let loose from, let go free, according to W.E. Vine’s “An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words.” This is in line with Deuteronomy 24:1-4 and it implies a dissolving of the bond of marriage. It is important to see that the main emphasis here is against divorce. But an exception is given.

The passage from Matthew above conveys this message: If you divorce your wife and she remarries, you have placed both her and her new mate into a position of adultery, for before God she is still your wife, unless you divorced her “for marital unfaithfulness.” The phrase “marital unfaithfulness” here is a translation of the Greek word porneia, which the Amplified New Testament translates as “sexual immorality, unfaithfulness.”

Jesus’ teaching on divorcing for marital infidelity (and remarriage after divorce in such cases) is given at greater length in the following verses:

Matthew 19:3-9 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?” “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

Remember that Moses’ Law indicated that a biblical divorce (“putting away” in KJV) dissolved the marriage. Jesus quoted Moses and used the same Greek word for biblically divorcing, or putting away, the spouse. However, it is important to note carefully that Jesus strictly limited Moses’ permission to divorce to cases of marital infidelity. It was not a widespread permission by Jesus, but a very narrow one, focused on the essential need for faithfulness between the spouses in a marriage.

It is obvious from verse 3 of the passage above that at least some of the Pharisees interpreted Moses as permitting divorce (and remarriage after divorce), as they said, “for any and every reason” — a very libertine interpretation that Jesus immediately rejected. Jesus’ answer was quite specific: to divorce your wife — “for any and every reason” other than for "marital unfaithfulness" — and then marry another is adultery. Period. And for another man to marry a women so divorced commits adultery with her.

Jesus did not recognize the validity of divorce and remarriage “for every cause” (KJV). He canceled the fairly broad permission to divorce that was given to Israel by Moses “because [their] hearts were hard” (vs. .

But Jesus did leave one exception — “except for marital unfaithfulness,” which again is the Greek word porneia. One whose spouse is unfaithful may divorce and remarry, for the unfaithfulness has destroyed the one-flesh marriage bond in the eyes of God.

This exception in Jesus’ final statement in this passage shows that divorce (and remarriage after divorce) by the innocent spouse are allowed under the circumstances of marital infidelity. Simply putting away one’s wife in no way can be construed as committing adultery. It is the putting away and remarrying that becomes adultery — unless the cause of the divorce was adultery already committed by the spouse being put away. In this latter case — that is, divorcing one’s spouse for that person’s adultery — the one-flesh relationship has been tragically violated, and the marriage bond is dissolved in this specific instance of biblical divorce. The innocent one is permitted (although certainly not obligated) to enter into another marriage.

In using the word porneia in the two passages quoted here from the book of Matthew, Jesus was speaking clearly in context about married people. The word in both passages can be understood correctly as “sexual unfaithfulness of married people,” rather than the modern connotation of single persons’ sexual immorality that might be misunderstood from the King James’s use of the word “fornication” here. The root word is still porneia, which speaks of a broad range of sexual immorality — single, married, or even incestuous.

The word porneia is used in two other New Testament phrases referring specifically to the unfaithfulness of married persons: (1) in 1 Corinthians 5:1 porneia is said to have been committed with another man’s “wife”; and (2) 1 Corinthians 10:8 refers to 23,000 Israelites committing “fornication” (KJV). It would be absurd to assume that all of them were unmarried.

Now, before leaving the discussion of Christian divorce and remarriage because of porneia, a word of caution is in order. The one who has secured (or is in the process of securing) a biblical divorce because of his or her spouse’s infidelity should exercise much restraint and deliberation before entering into a second marriage. Here are three important reasons for this carefulness:

 may have, through other nonbiblical conduct or characteristics, contributed at least indirectly to the breakdown of the marriage. Such a divorced person should seek counsel from a qualified pastor or church elder to effect biblical change in his or her own life before even considering undertaking another marriage.2. There is a prevailing biblical exhortation to “forgive one another,” as in Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:13. It is entirely biblical for the offended party to seek God diligently for the grace to forgive the adulterous spouse.“Israel [had] committed adultery [and God] had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce.” Yet God cried out to Israel to repent and turn back to Him, and declared that He would receive her back. Through prayer and competent counsel, it is possible for at least some marriages shattered by adultery to be brought to a place of repentance, forgiveness, and restoration.

Even by following all three of the above recommendations, the offended spouse may not necessarily see reconciliation occur. For example, the adulterous spouse may have already married someone else. But the innocent spouse, by taking the action above, keeps himself and his life in a biblical framework and may then conscientiously go about to reconstruct his life. And that rebuilding includes the possibility of entering into another marriage with God’s approval. Now let us move on to the second New Testament case for divorce and remarriage.

1 Corinthians 7:10-14 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

Here God states that a Christian should not depart from and divorce his or her mate. God does not allow a Christian to depart from a spouse for any reason other than sexual unfaithfulness, as we established earlier. And the word to those Christians who have already divorced without biblical cause (porneia) is to “remain unmarried or else be reconciled.” However, the inspired writer Paul declared:

1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.

This is called by some “the Pauline privilege.” Jesus earlier gave one exception to the prevailing indissolubility of marriage. That exception was for infidelity. Here the apostle Paul gives a second exception — if a saved man or woman has an unsaved spouse who leaves the Christian. The Greek word here for “leaves” is chorizo, the same word Jesus used for “put asunder” when speaking of divorce in Matthew 19:6.

What Paul is declaring is this: A Christian brother or sister is “not under bondage” (KJV) when the unbeliever divorces the believer.

The Greek word for “not under bondage” in this passage, according to both “Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance” and “The New Englishman’s Greek Concordance,” is from a word that is translated as “bound” in Romans 7:2 (“The woman which hath an husband is bound by the law”) and in 1 Corinthians 7:27 (“bound unto a wife”). It is critically important to see that the seemingly permanent-for-life marriage bond of these latter scriptures is broken — “not under bondage” — when the unbelieving spouse divorces the believer.

The same principles that we have seen in Moses’ Law and in Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 19:3-9 apply — that is, a divorce obtained under biblical conditions dissolves the marriage, and subsequent remarriage is permissible.

Summary:  For 20 centuries the greatest scholars of the Christian church have wrestled with the question: Can a born-again Christian lose his salvation? Good Calvinist theologians can quote a dozen scriptures that appear to strengthen one side of this issue. And similarly capable Arminian theologians can likewise bring forth a dozen scriptures that seem to provide a different answer to the question. I will not be presumptuous enough to suggest that I can resolve this ancient debate with any degree of certainty.My intention in this Bible study, rather, is to offer some Scriptures for you to ponder, to pray about, and to seek illumination on God’s Word from the Holy Spirit. In my 74 years on earth I have seen a growing looseness in American Christianity. The downward moral decline seems to have quickened in our 21st century. I see an increasingly casual approach to sin among believers. In response to that, I offer the Scriptures and comments below in a sincere desire to encourage a striving for Christ-like holiness and for ever-increasing victory over the world, our flesh, and the devil. May the Holy Spirit give you enlightenment and wisdom.


Romans 11:22, KJV  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

First, let it be established that the apostle Paul is clearly writing this epistle to Christians, to believers in Christ. Fully ten times he addresses the letter’s recipients as “brothers and sisters.”

This 11th chapter speaks in detail about the unbelief (vs. 20) of the majority in ancient Israel. Their unbelief and disobedience (vs. 30) brought upon them God’s severity (22). The Assyrian and Babylonian Captivities and centuries later the Romans’ destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 A.D. are some clear historical examples of God’s severity against His people Israel for their disobedience and unbelief. But thankfully for the Gentiles, “because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles” (11). And thankfully for Israel, the apostle Paul looked prophetically down the corridors of time and foresaw a great ingathering of natural Israelites to faith in Jesus Christ (vss. 12, 15, 23, 24, 25f, 31).

In this chapter’s context, the urgently important point of vs. 22 applies to us believers. Paul declares that the Israelites “which fell” experienced God’s severity in judgment. But to us, to born-again believers in Jesus Christ, Paul spoke of God’s goodness, but with a very big “IF” — “if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.”

Towards those who fell, severity. Towards the believers, goodness. But the Christian must continue in God’s goodness, avoiding the disobedience and faithless transgressions done by Israel of old — things that brought God’s judgment upon His people and were “written to teach us” (Romans 15:4) … and “were written down as warnings for us” (1 Corinthians 10:11). Those Roman believers, and just as certainly we believers today, were exhorted by the apostle to “continue in His kindness [by faith and obedience to Him]; otherwise you too will be cut off” (vs. 22, Amplified Bible).

2 Peter 2:20-22  If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”

Peter is not speaking of people who have never known the Lord. He is speaking of people who “have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Their serious error was that they “are again entangled in it and are overcome.” They had come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. But then rather than remaining wonderfully freed from the corruption of the world, they returned to it, were again entangled in it, and were overcome. The result of their first entering, then forsaking, God’s way of righteousness and being overcome by the world once again is that they are “worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.”

Shocking but true is the apostle Peter’s Holy Spirit-inspired statement (vs. 21): “It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.” You may be finding that thought disconcerting. But it is the infallible word of God! And the Spirit-inspired writer goes on to liken such a person to a dog who vomits the sickening contents of his stomach, then turns right around and eats again that disgusting vomit.

And remember, Peter is not speaking of those who hear the Gospel and simply reject it. No, he is speaking of people who have come to Christ for salvation “by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” and thereby have “escaped the corruption of the world.” But sadly, they have later on “turned their backs on” the way of righteousness, have returned to the world’s corruptions, and are “again entangled in it and are overcome.” They are like the proverbial sow who, having been washed, goes right back to wallowing in the mud!

Hebrews 6:4-6  It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

1 Timothy 4:1  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith…

It takes some serious stretching of the imagination to try, as some commentators do, to portray these people as not really saved in the first place. To the contrary, they show multiple characteristics of having experienced the Lord’s salvation:

 enlightened”• they have “tasted the heavenly gift” (Romans 6:23)• they have “shared in the Holy Spirit”• they have “tasted the goodness of the word of God” (1 Peter 1:23)• they have “tasted the powers of the coming age”• clearly at some point in their lives they had repented of their sins (vs. 6)

Whether the writer was speaking of real people or hypothetical examples, they had clearly heard God’s Word with faith and had tasted the heavenly gift of eternal life and had the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Yet they had “fallen away” from all that, “to their loss”! This was not just a one-time or occasional sin followed by repentance. No! This was a falling away from the Lord that was so significant, so total, that it was the equivalent of that person “crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace” (6).

Of such a deeply fallen believer it is said that “it is impossible for [them] … to be brought back to repentance, to their loss…” Two things stand out here:

 no longer repent.” (loss of salvation?). However one interprets this, the eternal ramifications of these two items are catastrophic!

Hebrews 10:26-31  If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

As in the Scriptures we have looked at already, this epistle is clearly written to Christian believers. Five times the author addresses the recipients as “brothers and sisters” (3:1, 3:12, 10:19, 13:1, 13:22, NIV).

Then in verse 26 he addresses his fellow believers: “If WE deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth…” Read that verse carefully. This is not a one-time or occasional sin followed by sincere repentance. To the contrary, this is a “deliberate” continuance in sin — “If we [believers] deliberately keep on sinning…” This person is essentially doing the following (29):

This is a knowledgeable, calculated, conscious choice to continue sinning after having come to the Lord as Savior. The results are catastrophic:

And finally, lest we erroneously try to apply these warnings to the unbeliever only, the inspired writer pointedly says (vss. 30-31): The Lord will judge his people. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

Hebrews 12:14  Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

“Without holiness no one will see the Lord.” I can hear the “but, but” reactions! There’s nothing difficult, deep, or mysterious about that verse. It is clear New Testament Scripture, written to “brothers and sisters,” to “make every effort…to be holy.” Why is this pursuit of holiness so important that it is worth our every effort? Because without holiness no one will see the Lord! In fact, our awesomely high calling in this matter is spelled out in Ephesians 4:24 — “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”

I have heard John 8:1-11 (the woman caught in adultery) referred to by some as if it allowed us to take a light approach to sin. In front of a hostile crowd, Jesus forgave the woman who had been caught in the very act of adultery — a death-sentence crime in ancient Judaism. Yes, Jesus graciously said to her, “Neither do I condemn you.” However, far too few people go on quote Jesus’ next words to the newly-forgiven adulteress: “Go now and leave your life of sin.” Forgiven? Yes. But also commanded by Jesus to stop sinning? Yes!

A terrible looseness, a casual treating of sin, has infected many portions of the Lord’s Church. You’ll hear Christians excusing unholy living with such nonbiblical justifications for sin as: “Oh, God understands” … “God wants me to be happy” … “Our church is not into a ‘performance’ mentality” … and similar justifications for corrupt lifestyles.

I would love to suggest a two-point sermon outline for preachers to share with their churches this coming Sunday. Here it is:

without holiness no one will see the Lord”

Matthew 7:21-23  “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”

Churches are full of people exclaiming, “Lord, Lord.” Likewise, at the Judgment Day there will appear many before Jesus who will say to Him, “Lord, Lord.” Some will say, “Lord, we prophesied, we drove out demons, we did miracles.” Sadly, to some of them Jesus will say, “Away from me, you evildoers!”

Lest we forget, Jesus listed the ultimate standard of His judgment (for good or bad) upon all people: “By their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:20, KJV). And immediately after saying that came His words in vss. 21-23 above, ending with His ominous words, “Away from me you evildoers!” The fruits of their character and conduct did not match up with the confession of their mouths (“Lord, Lord, we prophesied, cast out demons, did miracles.”) But Jesus ignored all that and called them "evildoers." He knew them and judged them by the fruits of their character manifested in their conduct.

In closing: I have deliberately avoided tackling the long-standing Calvinist-Arminian debate on salvation (eternal security or not? once saved always saved?). After centuries, scholars still have not resolved it conclusively, nor can I. My intent, rather, has been to quote some biblical warnings to believers, warnings that clearly speak of very negative consequences to those Christians who might take a casual, nonchalant approach to their salvation and their own personal conduct.

In His crucifixion Jesus paid an indescribably horrible price for our sins. He did this so that we could be forgiven, be born again, and become sons and daughters of God Almighty. As the apostle Peter wrote, Jesus “Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness…” (1 Peter 2:24, NASB).

The very grace of God that saves us (Titus 2:11) also “teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age” (Titus 2:12). I trust that each and every one reading this today will incorporate that Scripture into your lives and will see great blessings come from it, as you grow increasingly into the image of our magnificent Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
