GOFAMINT DAILY DEVOTIONAL READING

SAT. 11/12/2021

POLYANDRY IS FORBIDDEN

JN. 4:16-18

This act which permits a woman to marry more than one husband is a practice instituted from the pit of hell. This practice is not prominent in many cultures and traditions. it is a strange custom which Christians should not involve in. Jesus reprimanded the Samaritan woman in the passage read for having more than one husband. This shows that such a practice is not acceptable in Christendom. In the same manner, the act of single parenting, having children outside legal marriage is not okay. Marriage, which is part of normal life, is ordained by God between a man and a woman. Anything outside this will definitely prevent the functions of marriage which God approved for mankind.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: To enjoy marital blessing, stick to God’s approved pattern of marriage.

PRAYER POINT: O Lord, grant us the grace to embrace the marriage You approve.
