Knowing The Will Of God: Marriage 1
Romans 12:2 (NET) Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God—what is good and well-pleasing and perfect. A renewed mind is the only mind that can discern the will of God. As a believer, your mind is renewed when you allow the word of God change the way you think.These are the three components of the will of God as perceived by the renewed mind: It is GOOD, it is WELL-PLEASING and it is PERFECTGOOD: Only God and who/what is born of God is good. A ruler came to Jesus and said ‘good teacher’ (see Luke 18-19) Jesus asked him ‘why do you call me good?’ He then said ‘no one is good except God alone’. Jesus implicitly asked the young ruler that ‘are you saying that I’m God?’ Because that’s who Jesus was.The important lesson Jesus was teaching is that you cannot find ‘Good’ outside God. The young ruler came to Jesus and called Him ‘good teacher’, but he did not understand what he was talking about. Jesus was indeed good, but not because of the man’s definition. He was good because He was born of God, and is God. You cannot define Good outside God. What does this mean when it comes to who to marry? A person is only good when he or she is born of God. The first attribute of the will of God is that it must be good. God warns us not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers (see 2 Cor 6:14) As a believer, this is the most important consideration in determining the will of God concerning who to marry. Go into today remembering that being a believer does not just mean the person says he or she is a Christian. The person must believe in God the way you believe in God. Prayer: Lord, help me walk in your will in all things. Amen. Want to be saved?

Marks of a True Apostle
1 Corinthians 9:1-2 (NKJV)Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. After Richard graduated from the University, he went for his country’s mandatory Youth Service Corps. He spent most of that time waiting on the Lord to get clear directions on what exactly he was to do next in life. This was when it became clear to him that it was in accordance with God’s eternal plan for him that he studied medicine and surgery. This was to be used to gain entrance into an open door for apostolic work in an unreached nation. He knew the nation the Lord was sending him to after this period of waiting. Later on, he met some older ministers of God, and they made it clear to him that he had the call to be an apostle because of the nature of the assignment the Lord had given him. Soon after that, he started having encounters with the Lord Jesus in visions and dreams. His seal of Apostleship was the disciples who were a direct product of his work in the Lord’s vineyard. Everywhere he went, he made true disciples. From the scriptural standpoint, one mark of true Apostleship is true disciples. The Apostles of the Lord were to make disciples of nations. And this they did. Apostles are wise master builders (1 Cor 3:10). And most of the time, they are those the Lord uses to break ground in new territories or lay proper foundations of God’s building(the church) in territories. From today’s Bible verses, one thing is clear: Apostles are known by their disciples. Show me true disciples of the Lord Jesus, and I will show you that it was directly or indirectly the product of an Apostolic work. Go into today knowing that false apostles can’t make true disciples of the Lord Jesus. Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you fulfill your ministry on this side of eternity. —Abraham Damilola Arigi Bible in 1 Year: Amos 5-9 Streamglobe is nondenominational.
