****REMINDER!FINAL EXAM ON TUESDAY,JULY 8,2014@6.30PM(MUST BE SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED IN ORDER TO EARN "CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION")









****I)URGENT NOTICE!GOD"S GREAT COMMISSION PLANS FOR YOUR DATING AND MARRIAGE PARTNERSHIP MUST ALWAYS BE GREATER THAN YOUR RELATIONSHIP(EZEK.24:15-27...)!THE EVIDENCE OF THIS IS THAT YOU WILL EXISTENTIALIZE A DATING/MARRIAGE PARTNERSHIP THAT IS UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD OF GOD THAT FAITHFULLY WORKS AND LABORS IN "N.T.REVEALED APOSTOLIC KINGDOM WORK CHURCH",BECAUSE THE "FIRST LOVE OF EACH PARTNER PRIOR TO THE RELATIONSHIP WAS JESUS CHRIST,AND IT WILL BE THE FIRST LOVE DURING THE RELATIONSHIP(NOT YOUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER)!IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE "YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL NEVER BE A LABOR OF LOVE IN THE BIBLICAL  FIRST WORKS OF THE CHURCH(ICOR.15:58;GAL.5:6;JA.2:14,17,20;REV.2:4-5;LK.10:1-3;MATT.6:33...)!BE NOT DECEIVED NO MATTER WHAT ELSE YOUR RELATIONSHIP ALLEGEDLY HAS WORKING FOR IT,THE RELATIONSHIP WILL NEVER WORK IN THE SIGHT OF GOD UNLESS IT IS FIRST AND FOREMOST WORKING TO HIS PRAISE AND GLORY AND THE ADVANCEMENT AND INITIATION OF OTHERS INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD(MATT.6:33,EPH.4:11-13...)!


****URGENT NOTICE!EVERY CHRISTIAN DATING PARTNERSHIP MUST HAVE MARRIAGE INTENTIONALITY.AND EVERY CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE MUST WORK TO BECOME A *"MOMI":"MARRIAGE OF MISSIONARY INTEGRITY"! 

 A)IT WILL REQUIRE MUCH PRAYER ALONE/TOGETHER WITH GOD IF YOU AND YOUR GREAT COMMISSION PARTNER WILL GROW TO THE SPIRITUAL LEVEL WHERE YOU OBEY THE WORD ABOUT HIS MISSIONARY PLANS FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP EVEN WHEN THIS DEMANDS THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS SACRIFICED/SECONDARY(ROM.16:7)
 1)PRAYERFUL INDIVIDUAL GROWTH IN YOUR PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO THE PREEMINENCE OF GOD'S MISSIONARY PLANS WILL EMPOWER YOU TO ULTIMATELY BECOME "DATING/MARRIAGE SYNERGISTIC MISSIONARY PARTNERS".YOU MAY ALSO GROW TO BECOME LIVING EXAMPLES AND MENTORS TO OTHER CHRISTIANS-
 2)THE DISCIPLINED STUDY(READING,RESEARCH,REFLECTION,AND BEING RULED BY) GOD'S WORD ALONE/TOGETHER IS IMPERATIVE FOR ONGOING SPIRITUAL GROWTH TOWARD "SMU"STATUS".THIS MAY EQUIP YOU TO ALSO TEACH/DISCIPLE OTHER CHRISTIANS IN THE AREA OF DATING/MARRIAGE SPIRITUAL FORMATION



II)IF YOU ARE UNMARRIED/MARRIED AND HAVE NOT YET TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF A PARTICULAR GREAT COMMISSION VISION AND PREFERRED MISSIONARY PLAN,YOU MUST GO TO GOD IN PRAYER
 A)IT WAS AFTER GOD GAVE A CLEAR *"PROTO-MISSIOLOGICAL GREAT COMMISSION PLAN" TO ADAM AND EVE" THAT THEY BEGAN TO TAKE DOMINION OVER THE EARTH AND REPRODUCE(GEN.2:1:26-28;2:15-25;4:1-2;*MATT.28:19-20;JN.20:21;ACTS 1:8;LK.24:47-49...).THIS ADAMIC MISSIONARY PLAN WAS A PREFIGURATION TO THE GREAT COMMISSION!
 B)YOU SHOULD PRAYERFULLY SEEK TO AGREE/COMMIT TO THE WORD OF GOD ABOUT THE GREAT COMMISSION WORK GOD HAS ENTRUSTED WITH YOU(AMOS 3:3;ROM.16:7;ACTS 18:24-28...)!
B)ADAM AND EVE UNDER SATANIC INFLUENCE DEVELOPED THE "PRIDE OF PRIVATE INTEREST/OWNERSHIP AND BECAME DISSATISFIED WITH ALL THAT GOD HAD CREATED(GOD CREATED ENOUGH) AND MADE THEM STEWARDS!THE FIRST MARRIAGE/FAMILY REBELLED AGAINST WHAT GOD HAD DETERMINED WAS ENOUGH FOR FAITHFULNESS TO HIS MISSIONARY PLANS FOR THEIR MISSIONARY MARRIAGE/FAMILY!CONSEQUENTLY,THEY DECIDED TO BECOME PERILOUSLY AND PERNICIOUSLY PREOCCUPIED WITH THE PURSUIT OF MORE THAN ENOUGH AND PRIVATE PROSPERITY,THAT WAS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR FAITHFULNESS TO GOD'S MISSIONARY COMMAND FOR THEIR MARRIAGE/FAMILY(GEN.1:26-31;2:8-21,ISA.14:12-14;EPH.4:11-13...)
  1)CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES/FAMILIES WILL NOT LIVE WITH*"BIBLICAL GREAT COMMISSION INTEGRITY,HONESTY,AND AUTHENTICITY"WHEN THEY ARE INFLUENCED BY THE PRIDE OF PRIVATE INTEREST/OWNERSHIP/WEALTH AND ARE PREOCCUPIED WITH THE PERNICIOUS PURSUIT OF THE PROSPERITY OF HAVING MORE THAN ENOUGH TO FAITHFULLY DO THE WORK OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD!
  2)GOD WILL JUDGE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES WITH PHYSICAL DEATH/DEATH SYNDROME WHEN THEY REFUSE TO REPENT OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD'S MISSIONARY COMMANDMENTS ABOUT THE "MARRIAGE/FAMILY OF THE CHURCH BEING FIRST AND FOREMOST A MISSIONARY INSTITUTION"!




III)YOU SHOULD NEVER DATE ANYONE THAT WILL NOT COMPLETE YOU(FIT,SUIT,HELP) AND ENABLE YOU TO DO MORE GREAT COMMISSION WORK AS YOUR SPOUSE THAN YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO DO AS A SINGLE DISCIPLEMAKING-DISCIPLE OF JESUS(*PLEASE TEACH THAT CHRISTIANS SHOULD NEVER DATE ANYONE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS NOT CONFIRMED IN ADVANCE THAT THEY WILL COMPLETE THEM AS A,"SMU")




IV)GOD WILL STILL HOLD ONE PARTNER IN THE RELATIONSHIP ACCOUNTABLE EVEN WHEN THE OTHER REFUSES TO BE THEIR "SMU" PARTNER
 A)YOU MUST BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THE BIBLICAL REVELATION THAT GOD HAS DETERMINED THAT HIS CHURCH,THAT HE PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD AND THE GREAT COMMISSION WORK THAT HE HAS COMMANDED THEM TO PERFORM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN NON-CHRISTIAN BIOLOGICAL FAMILY MEMBERS!THIS WILL BE A LONELY EXPERIENCE!(GAL.6:10;MATT.8:21-22;12:48-50...)
 1)NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOUR MARRIAGE PARTNER OR OTHER BIOLOGICAL FAMILY MEMBERS OPPOSE YOUR COMMITMENT TO JESUS CHRIST AND HIS "GREAT COMMISSION KINGDOM  WORK",YOU WILL GROW TO OVERCOME EVEN THIS AS YOU LEARN TO HAVE SPIRITUAL LIFE THROUGH ALONENESS WITH GOD IN MUCH PRAISE,PRAYER STUDY/MEDITATION ON HIS WORD(IITIM.4:9-16;MATT.28:20;IITIM.2:15;IIPET.3:18...)
 2)IT IS BETTER FOR SOME DISCIPLES TO REMAIN SINGLE,BECOME SINGLE,NEVER MARRY,REMAIN UNMARRIED IF THEY KNOW THAT A PROSPECTIVE PARTNER WILL INFLUENCE THEM TO BE UNFAITHFUL AND DISOBEDIENT IN THEIR PERSONAL PRACTICE OF NEW TESTAMENT REVEALED APOSTOLIC CHURCH(MATT.5:29-30...)!*NOTEWELL THAT *IICOR.6:14 DOES NOT ONLY ADDRESS THE PROHIBITION ABOUT UNBELIEVERS,BUT IT ALSO ADDRESSES THE PROHIBITION ABOUT "*UNCOMMITTED BELIEVERS" TO "NEW TESTAMENT REVEALED APOSTOLIC KINGDOM CHURCH WORK"


V)****BE NOT DECEIVED A LIFE STYLE OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY DURING,BEFORE DATING/MARRYING A PERSON  WILL HAVE SERIOUS ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES ON THE RELATIONSHIP AND MAY BRING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD IN A DISASTROUS WAY WHEN SELF-JUDGMENT AND REPENTANCE IS NOT QUICKLY DONE(GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT,SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS,PHYSICAL SICKNESS,DEVASTATION TO BIOLOGICAL/CHURCH FAMILY...);ICOR.6:15-20;IICOR6:14-18;JDGS.16:15-30;GAL.6:7!


VI)****THE SPIRITUALLY MATURE "SMU"WILL BE AT PEACE IN SUFFERING PERSECUTION FOR CHRIST-SAKE TOGETHER(ROM.16:7...)!THERE IS NO GREATER EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE AN AUTHENTIC "SMU"THAN SUFFERING FOR YOUR FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE TOGETER TO "NEW TESTAMENT REVEALED APOSTOLIC KINGDOM CHURCH"(MATT.5:10-12...)!


VII)****THE HOLY SPIRIT IS "DEADLY SERIOUS"ABOUT MARRIAGE PARTNERSHIPS BEING FAITHFULLY COMMITTED, HONEST,AND OBEDIENT ABOUT THEIR BIBLICAL FINANCIAL GIVING TOWARD "THE POOR IN THE CHURCH LIVING WITH THE EQUALITY OF ENOUGH"(*ACTS 5:1;*GEN.3:1-24-11;LK.16:1-15;PHIL.2:5-11;EPH.5:21-33;IICOR.8:13-15...)!

 A)THE *JUDGMENT OF DEATH(SEPARATION) UPON *ADAM AND EVE IN *GEN.3:1-24 MAY BE A REENACTMENT OF THE *JUDGMENT OF DEATH(SEPARATIN) UPON *ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA IN *ACTS 5:1-10 SINCE INFORMED BIBLICAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE SINS INVOLVED IN BOTH CASES FIND THAT IN THE "SPIRITUAL SICKNESS OF BOTH MARRIAGES"THE LUST OF THE FLESH,THE LUST OF THE EYES,AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE" WERE INVOLVED(IJN.2:15-17)!THESE HAVE ALWAYS INFLAMED THE PASSION AND PREOCCUPATION OF GOD'S PEOPLE IN THE PURSUIT OF PRIVATE INTEREST/PRIVATE OWNERSHIP...AT THE EXPENSE OF DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD AND CHURCH IN COMMUNITY WHERE "ALL LIVE WITH THE EQUALITY OF ENOUGH"*!MANY FAMILIES IN THE CHURCH SUFFER FROM THIS SPIRITUAL SICKNESS!
  1)****A THOUGHTFUL EXEGESIS AND EXPOSITION ON SCRIPTURAL TEXTS SUCH AS ACTS 4:34-35;IICOR.8:13-15;IITHESS.4:10-12;GEN.3:1-24;ACTS 5:1-10,ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE "AUGUSTINIAN APOLOGETICS "OF THE LATE FOURTH CENTURY AND EARLY FIFTH CENTURY AFRICAN BISHOP OF HIPPO,MUST DISTURB US INTO THE CONVICTION THAT THE REFUSAL OF CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO "ECONOMIC JUSTICE TO THE POOR IN THE CHURCH ,SO THAT ALL MAY LIVE WITH THE EQUALITY OF ENOUGH"IS SATANIC/DEVILISH IN ITS ORIGIN-14)!FOR AS SATAN WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN BY GOD(SEPARATED/DEATH)FOR THE SIN OF PRIDE(ISA.14:12-14) THAT MANIFESTED ITSELF IN PRIVATE INTEREST/PRIVATE OWNERSHIP,SO WAS ADAM AND EVE CAST OUT OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN!MOREOVER THE "ADAMIC SIN NATURE" OF PRIDE MANIFESTED IN PRIVATE INTEREST/PRIVATE OWNERSHIP WHICH DROVE ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA IN THEIR PERILOUS AND PERNICIOUS PREOCCUPATION WITH THE PURSUIT OF PRIVATE PROSPERITY/WEALTH INFLUENCED THEIR CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE, TO BE DECEITFUL AND WITHOUT INTEGRITY ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO GIVE MORE IN THE "LOVE AND JUSTICE OFFERINGS"FOR THE POOR IN THE FIRST CHURCH!****"WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE?
 B)ADAM AND EVE WERE DRIVEN BY THE PRIDE OF PRIVATE INTEREST/OWNERSHIP WHICH INFLUENCED THEM TO BE DISCONTENT WITH WHAT "GOD HAD DETERMINED WAS ENOUGH"FOR THEM TO EXECUTE THE MISSIONARY PLAN THAT HE HAD ASSIGNED TO THEM(i.e.BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY,TAKE DOMINION OVER THE EARTH)
  1)CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES THAT "REFUSE TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST FIRST" WILL BE INEFFECTIVE IN THE WORK OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD,AND WILL CONSEQUENTLY NOT TRUST GOD TO  DETERMINE HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH FOR THEIR FAMILY TO CONTINUE TO DO THE MISSIONARY WORK OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD(MATT.6:33...).BE CERTAIN THAT A MARRIAGE /FAMILY LIKE THIS WILL END UP IN THE SAME TRAGIC PREDICAMENT THAT ADAM AND EVE AND ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA ENDED UP IN,IF REPENTANCE AND REPRIORITIZATION DOES NOT TAKE PLACE!FOR THE UNREPENTANT MARRIAGE WILL SUFFER FROM THE PERILOUS AND PERNICIOUS PREOCCUPATION WITH THE PURSUIT OF PROSPERITY AND HAVING MORE THAN WHAT GOD HAS DETERMINED IS NEEDED FOR HIS GREAT COMMISSION PLAN BIBLICALLY COMMANDED FOR THEIR FAMILY!
  2)MARRIAGES THAT ARE MERELY DATING JESUS CHRIST,RATHER THAN LIVING AS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST WILL NOT RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT TO THE AUTHORITY AND LEADERSHIP OF CHRIST!THIS WILL AND HAS ALWAYS RESULTED IN DYSFUNCTIONAL MARRIAGES IN THE CHURCH,THAT WILL NOT COMMIT THEMSELVES TO BEING "YNERGISTIC MISSIONARY UNIONS"(SMU);EPH.5:22-33!
****IT IS ONLY UNDER THE POWER OF THE CROSS OF THE RESURRECTED CHRIST JESUS AND THE AUTHORITY OF HIS BLOOD OVER THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE/FAMILY THAT THEY WILL BE FAITHFULLY TO GOD'S COMMANDED GREAT COMMISSION PLAN FOR THE MARRIAGE(GAL.2:20;6:14;MATT.16:24-26...)









VIII)****FOR THE DATING/MARRIAGE PARTNERSHIP IN CHRIST JESUS,THE PREEMINENT CRITERIA OF "PARTNERSHIP COMPATIBILITY" MUST ALWAYS BE THE REVELATION OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD(LORD OF HOSTS),RATHER THAN ONE'S ASTROLOGICAL SIGN,OR ANY OTHER CRITERIA(e.g.FINANCES,EDUCATION,SEXUALITY,PROMINENCE,PRIVATE OWNERSHIP,PRIVATE WEALTH...).THE ISSUE OF WHETHER OR NOT A PROSPECTIVE  PARTNER IS COMPATIBLE IS THE ISSUE OF WILL THERE BE A  FIT,SUITABILITY,AND HELPFULNESS IN GREAT COMMISSION WORK DETERMINED BY HOLY SCRIPTURE(GEN.2:20-25;PS.139:13-16;MATT.28:19-20;AMOS 3:3...)!


IX)ALL DATING/MARRIAGE "SMU'S" SHOULD PRAYERFULLY SEEK AN EXEMPLARY AND TENURED(MANY YEARS OF FAITHFUL MISSIONARY OBEDIENCE TOGETHER)CHRISTIAN MARRIED COUPLE THAT WILL PRAYERFULLY MENTOR THEM AND REPRODUCE THE GREAT COMMISSION CHARACTER OF THEIR MARRIAGE IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP!IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALREADY AT THIS LEVEL OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY THEN,"LET'S GET BUSY"!
