Say No To Domestic Abuse

Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. - Colossians 3:19

Cases of domestic abuse in relationship is increasingly on the rise. Sadly, most of the victims are women. Some women has lost their lives through domestic abuse. I really don't know why a man will beat a lady no matter what she has done. But what sadden more is when some men continuously beat their wives, it's inhumane to violently abuse any human male or female.

When there is a constant domestic abuse in a relationship or marriage, you got to save yourself first before saving the marriage. Many has remain in a toxic and abusive relationships at the expense of their lives. It is only the living spouses that can save their marriage.

Domestic violence is sin. When a person engages in verbal, sexual or domestic violence he or she has broken faith with his or her husband or wife. Domestic violence is far too often a dirty secret happening behind closed doors and weekly filling church auditorium in suffering silence. We have a responsibility to name this sin and to be grieved over its prevalence in the world.

If we are to be God’s people then we must publicly teach that domestic violence is sin, acknowledge our complicit silence in this area, provide safe havens for those seeking freedom, regularly pray for those trapped in abusive situations, and model healthy and life-affirming relationships. The church has a role to play in addressing this.

A man that beats his spouse, is that one a man or a beast? #SayNoToDomesticViolence

Good Morning and have a wonderful Saturday.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value. Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva. When
