Day 1 UNLEASHED FOR MISSION! Know Jesus as Our Living Savior

‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

OUR SAVIOR DIED FOR OUR SINS ON THE CROSS HOWEVER HE DID NOT REMAIN IN THE GRAVE HE ROSE AGAIN! THIS IMPELS US FOR MISSION EVEN IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬-‭18‬

“And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”

Low in the grave He lay

Jesus my Savior!

Waiting the coming day

Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose

With a mighty triumph o'er His foes

He arose a Victor from the dark domain

And He lives forever with His saints to reign

He arose! (He arose)

He arose! (He arose)

Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch His bed

Jesus, my Savior!

Vainly they seal the dead

Jesus my Lord!

Death cannot keep his prey

Jesus, my Savior!

He tore the bars away

Jesus my Lord!

‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭3‬

“The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.”

CHRIST’S RESURRECTION WAS IN FULFILLMENT OF SCRIPTURE

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭17‬-‭20‬

“And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?” Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?” And He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him.”

Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭

“Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭32‬

“And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?””

KNOWING THE LIVING SAVIOR UNLEASHES ONE FOR MISSION YOU CAN NOT BE SILENT AFTER PERSONALLY MEETING HIM

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭33‬-‭35‬

“So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.”

“Let’s pray that God would open our eyes to know Jesus is alive and present in our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.“

Love ❤️ at Home: Having No ❌ Child, Should not be a kill Joy in the Home 🏡

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

HAVING NO CHILDREN IN THE HOME CAN BE A SOURCE OF DISCORD IN THE HOME, BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE! GOD’S GRACE CAN BE SUFFICIENT FOR YOU AND YOU CAN MAINTAIN YOUR JOY IN THE LORD.

‭‭Philippians 4:4

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

BARRENNESS DID NOT KILL THE SHUNAMMITE WOMAN’S GENEROSITY

2 Kings 4:8-10

And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 9And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. 10Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

SHE WAS BARREN AND CONTENT WHEN THE PROPHET ASKED IF HE COULD SPEAK FOR HER TO THE KING SHE REFUSED

1 Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬

“Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.”

2 Kings 4:11-17

And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 12And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. 13And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people. 14And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old. 15And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 16And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. 17And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

BARRENNESS DID NOT STOP ZACHARIAH AND ELIZABETH FROM BEING FAITHFUL TO EACH OTHER AND TO SERVE AND WORSHIP GOD WITH OTHERS IN THE TEMPLE!

Luke 1:5-10

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 8And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, 9According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 10And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

Psalm 84:11-12

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold...

NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD FROM YOU! SO DO NOT LET THE LACK OF A CHILD KILL YOUR JOY

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Love ❤️ thy Neighbor: Dead Parents Can’t Bless you‼️Treat Your Living Parents Well

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

Proverbs‬ ‭23‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭

“The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who begets a wise child will delight in him. Let your father and your mother be glad, And let her who bore you rejoice.”

‭‭ WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR PARENTS HAPPY THEY WILL BLESS YOU

Genesis‬ ‭27‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭

“Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.” Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death. Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”

IT IS THE LIVING PARENTS THAT HAVE CAPACITY TO BLESS, TREAT THEM WELL DON’T CAUSE THEM PAIN AND SORROW

Proverbs‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬ ‭

“The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.”

Proverbs‬ ‭17‬:‭25‬ ‭

“A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her who bore him.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭30‬:‭11‬ ‭

‭‭ “There is a generation that curses its father, And does not bless its mother.”

Proverbs‬ ‭30‬:‭17‬ ‭

“The eye that mocks his father, And scorns obedience to his mother, The ravens of the valley ….

Deuteronomy‬ ‭27‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“‘Cursed be anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’”

God cannot prosper those who go directly contrary to the plainest duty specified in His word, the duty of children to their parents.... If they disrespect and dishonor their earthly parents, they will not respect and love their Creator. – {Adventist Home p. 293.2}

Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

DEAD PARENTS NO LONGER HAVE THE CAPACITY TO BLESS OR CURSE‼️DEATH IS THE LAND OF FORGETFULNESS

Psalm 88:10-12

“Will You work wonders for the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise You? Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction? Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?”

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun.”

Job‬ ‭7‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up. He shall never return to his house, Nor shall his place know him anymore.”

ONLY AFTER THE RESURRECTION WILL THE DEAD PARENTS LIVE AGAIN

John‬ ‭5‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭

“Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.”

Job 14:14

If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Love ❤️ thy Neighbor: Obey your Parents in the Lord

Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

When children have unbelieving parents, and their commands contradict the requirements of Christ, then, painful though it may be, they must obey God and trust the consequences with Him. – {Adventist Home p. 293.3}

THE HONOR OF GOD SUPERSEDES THE HONOR OF OUR PARENTS

Acts 5:29

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭37‬

“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.”

John‬ ‭12‬:‭26‬ ‭

“Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”

Matthew 16:24-26

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

‭‭

LOVE AT HOME MAKES IT EASY FOR CHILDREN TO LOVE AND HONOR YOU

John‬ ‭13‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.””

‭‭

Ephesians 6:4

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭

“Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.”

‭‭

The best way to educate children to respect their father and mother is to give them the opportunity of seeing the father offering kindly attentions to the mother, and the mother rendering respect and reverence to the father. It is by beholding love in their parents that children are led to obey the fifth commandment.... – {My Life Today p. 278.2}

‭‭Read 1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭

Malachi‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THE WORD OF GOD AND PRAY FOR THEM

Deuteronomy‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”

2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭

“and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

Job‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭

“So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly.”

Lamentations 2:19

Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

Psalms‬ ‭145‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭

“The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.”

Love ❤️ thy Neighbor: Remedy for Marital Unfaithfulness (Part 2)

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

A HAPPY HOME IS A BARRICADE TO MARITAL UNFAITHFULNESS

Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭

“Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasure with trouble. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred.”

Our homes must be made a Bethel, our hearts a shrine. Wherever the love of God is cherished in the soul, there will be peace, there will be light and joy.

Jesus wants to see happy marriages, happy firesides. – {The Faith I Live By p. 255.7}

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬ ‭

“Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.”

Genesis‬ ‭26‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭RSV‬‬

“When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac fondling Rebekah his wife. So Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, she is your wife; how then could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I thought, ‘Lest I die because of her.’ ” Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.” So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever touches this man or his wife shall be put to death.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.”

1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”

DON’T LINGER NEAR TEMPTATION FLEE

Matthew 6:13

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Proverbs 5:3-5

For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. 5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭

“Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house, Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;”

Read Genesis‬ ‭39‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭

Genesis‬ ‭39‬:‭10‬-‭13‬

“So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her. But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,”

2 Timothy 2:22

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬ ‭

“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.”

PRAY AND ASK JESUS TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING

Micah 7:7-8

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. 8¶Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

Jude 1:24-25

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Love ❤️ thy Neighbor: Remedy for Marital Unfaithfulness (Part 1)

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

LET NONE DESPAIR OF THEIR SINFUL TENDENCIES. WE CAN LIVE RIGHTEOUS AND FAITHFUL LIVES THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD‼️

Roman 7:24

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Matthew 1:21

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

John 1:12

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name

Philippians 2:13-14

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world

THE WORD OF GOD CAN IMMUNIZE YOU FROM INFIDELITY

Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭

“How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.”

Build a wall of scriptures around you, and you will see that the world cannot break it down. Commit the Scriptures to memory, and then throw right back upon Satan when he comes with his temptations, “It is written.” This is the way that our Lord met the temptations of Satan, and resisted them.

Hang in memory’s hall the precious words of Christ. They are to be valued far above silver or gold. – {Last Day Events p. 67}

Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”

‭‭

‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭2-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.”

Psalm 51:5-7

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

The converting power of God can transform inherited and cultivated tendencies; for the religion of Jesus is uplifting. “Born again” means a transformation, a new birth in Christ Jesus. – {Adventist Home p. 206.1}

Romans 8:4

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Ezekiel 36:26-27

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Malachi‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“You cry out, “Why doesn’t the Lord accept my worship?” I’ll tell you why! Because the Lord witnessed the vows you and your wife made when you were young. But you have been unfaithful to her, though she remained your faithful partner, the wife of your marriage vows. Didn’t the Lord make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. “For I hate divorce!” says the Lord, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.””

GOD RING-FENCED MARRIAGE WITH TWO COMMANDMENTS IN THE MORAL LAW

Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭14‬ ‭

“You shall not commit adultery.”

Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭17‬ ‭

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.””

‭

BE CONTENT WITH YOUR WIFE

Job‬ ‭31‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭

“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman. For what is our lot from God above, our heritage from the Almighty on high? Is it not ruin for the wicked, disaster for those who do wrong? Does he not see my ways and count my every step?”

‭‭

Matthew 5:27-28

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Proverbs 6:21-29

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 27Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”

… The man who allows his wife to occupy the second place in his affections is dishonoring himself and his God. This thing is one of the signs of the last days. But surely you do not desire to fulfill this sign. – {Testimonies on Sexual Behavior, Adultery, and Divorce p. 200.5}

Proverbs 5:18-21

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. 20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? 21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

CHRIST IS FAITHFUL TO THE CHURCH SO MUST HUSBANDS BE TO THEIR WIVES

Ephesians 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it

Lamentations 3:22-23

It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

‭‭
