FAMILY: SINGLE PARENTING

 


RE: SINGLE PARENTING 

There is every need to take due diligence as we trust God in our marriage and parenting plans.

There is great need to have and to show more understanding and empathy to single parents.

Furthermore, there is utmost need to avoid being a single parent as much as one possibly can.

It should be a last resort in extreme cases not the first whim of escape in life’s trying times for the uncommitted or disloyal partner or partners in the sacred and beautiful covenant of marriage.

Never abandon the lifelong covenant at every wind of distress, discouragement or despair.

It has ripple, far-reaching effects. 

Trust God. Be of good courage. 

Stand strong. Be of good hope. 

Let any who has good ears, sound mind and God-fearing heart and living conscience take heed…

Selah!

May God have mercy on the innocent children…

Who find themselves besieged by the ills and demerits of such unwholesome life situations.

Finally, let me emphasize this: Family is God’s intelligent and innovative invention ab initio. 

A lot of harmony, training, support, correction, relational skills, maturing, cooperation, and useful life skills are learnt and formed there.

A lot of good and bad times, happy and sad times are experiences together.

Never take family for granted.

Never betray family.

Never be envious of family.

Quarrel, disagree, rebuke, get upset with family but never be a “Judas” to your family member. 

Rejoice with family. Enjoy family. 

Laugh out loud with family. 

Help family. Forgive family.

Love, support and care for family. 

And yes, correct family that’s in the wrong.

Support family to do right, grow and improve.

Genuinely, genuinely…

O please be a True Blessing to your family.

In your own perhaps little but sincere way…

Grace and peace to all True Families! 

❤️🙏


Post Script: 

Let me add this footnote. 

We can find True Families and True Tribes with True Hearts who desire and do the Will of God. 

Remember the words of the Lord Jesus:

“For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

Ref: Matthew 12:50; Mark 3:35; Matthew 7:21-23

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f

WORSHIP!

Image
  What is Worship? Worship is reverential adoration and devotion. It is the deeply embedded heart attitude and habitual practice of holding highest regard, giving supreme adulation, paying unparalleled homage, rendering foremost service or according topmost dedication to someone or something.  Human beings were designed to worship. This means, we are all naturally wired to be devoted to something or someone we reckon or perceive to be most grandiose or to be the greatest Thing or Being worthy of our keenest attention, truest affection, deepest love and highest loyalty.

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
