I
woke up today thanking God and I felt good about it. It’s not that I won a
trophy or got a bank credit alert, it’s a little more than that;
it’s that I am among the living today, it’s that I have good health, it’s that
I am not running over from one hospital to another over a sick child, it’s that
I have a functioning marriage and home where the love of God reigns. There are
so many things that I don’t have, but there are so many more things that I
don’t deserve, yet the Lord has blessed me with them. And I just woke up
feeling very thankful; refusing to focus on those things that I don’t have
knowing that He who has blessed me this much without deserving it can and will
bless me with all that I have asked of him. So I will wait, and while waiting,
I will appreciate what I have been given and thank God for them all.
Today
its going to be another marriage story and I pray the Lord will open our hearts
to how we can handle our marriage issues right. I hope and pray that the things we
learn here are helping us be better husbands and wives in Jesus name.
Issue
I
have been married for some time now and there hasn’t been much issue other than
the regular husband and wife squabbles; nothing out of the ordinary. But not
too long ago, I had to separate from my husband when I discovered that he had
gone diabolical. He is beginning to visit herbalist and sorcerers in search of
wealth. My worry is that a man who can bow to pressure and leave the presence
of God to resort to herbalist and sorcerers for wealth can actually go to any
length to get the wealth. He obviously has sold his conscience and his soul to
the devil. More so, I don’t want any man to use my children for wealth ritual.
The
difficult aspect of all these is that he was introduced into all these nonsense
by his mother and so talking him out of it will be difficult. Rather than risk
my life, I have decided to just pack my belongings and my children and leave to
safe my life.
Response
This
problem from a glance appears big and any normal person would do just what you
have done. But you are not designed by God to be just any normal person, David
said God created man a little below angel and then Paul said that the same spirit
that rose Christ from the dead lives in us and quickens our mortal bodies to
the glory of God’s holy name. So you are supernormal, you are more powerful
than normal if truly you are in Christ Jesus and His words are in you. Except you
are telling me that you are not born-again.
In
all of these narrations I have not heard you talk about prayers. And we all
know that God loves us so much that He will not allow a challenge bigger and
more powerful than us come our way. Colossians 2:9-10 says, “For in Christ all
the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness
in Christ, who is Head over every power and authority.” Now, I don’t know how
strong you are in the faith, but if you believe in the power of a herbalist and
sorcerer, should you not believe more in the power of Christ which is bigger, more
powerful, more effective and even more dangerous and all the sorcerers and
herbalists put together.
Now
if your husband has gone to consult a power that is not of God, and you believe that God has
assigned you as a suitable helper in his life, should you not then go acquire a
bigger, more powerful, more effective and more dangerous to overthrow that evil
power that has taken hold of his life and free from every evil bondage? Interestingly, they say he who runs from
a fight today, lives to fight another day. This is your problem to solve and
not to run away from, because running away isn’t going to get the problem
solved. And if your husband truly possess evil powers, my sister there is nowhere
you run to that he won’t get you if he wants to, so the only thing to do is to
deal with it and get it resolved and destroyed.
Ephesians
6:12(NKJV) says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Now this as the
Bible puts it is what you are up against and not your husband. These are your problems
that you have to deal with and not the husband that God has assigned you to
help. This is where the focus of your battle should be, and what the battle is
about is to deliver from husband from their hold and free your marriage and
your husband from any evil manipulation.
Ephesians
6:13-18(NKJV)
Therefore
take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand
therefore, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your
feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield
of faith with which you will quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful
to this end with all perseverance and application of the saints.
2
Corinthians 10:3-5(NKJV)
For
though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down
strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the
obedience of Christ.
Here
are the things you need to arm yourself with in order to deal with the
situation you have been confronted with. If you say you are a child of God,
then act like one because children of the most high king are fearless against
the forces of darkness because they have what it takes to do battle and win. They
have the power of God in them.
A
sorcerer will say a thing and it comes to pass because he has belief in the
power he has employed to do his bidding. There is nothing the sorcerer has that
you don’t have much more as a child of God. If the sorcerer believes in his
power which he cannot see, then you better start believing in the power that you
have in Christ Jesus and make good use of that power in destroying
whatever it is that is destroying your peace.
If
you have not don’t that yet, now is the time to give your life to Jesus, and
allowed the Spirit of God dwell richly in you. Take kin interest in your Bible, it is the word of God which is your sword to do battle and firm up your faith. With
all these you will be amazed at how far you can go in this battle. God knows
you can do this victoriously otherwise it won’t be you in this situation, so
you better get to work immediately knowing fully well that you can pull this
through victoriously. May the Lord bless you and bless your home in Jesus name.
