WHERE ARE OUR MEN?


 Is going to church only meant for women? Is building a strong spiritual home only rests on the shoulder of women? Is going to see the Saviour of the world only meant for women? I think the spiritual foundation and  strength of any home rest on the shoulders of the fathers. As fathers, we should not leave the spirituality of our homes only to women while we are only concerned with providing money for the family.
   Let me tell you, being a breadwinner also means meeting the needs of your family spiritually, intellectually,  emotionally. You should always be there for your spouse and children. Always create time for them even out of your busy schedule.  Remember, you'll always create time for anything you love.  If you can create time to watch Chelsea and Man U; if you can can create time to watch champions league or Spanish la liga, you should be able to create time for your family.
   The Holy Book said a three-fold cord is not quickly broken. You, your wife and children will make up a theee-fold cord which cannot be broken by a strange woman.  Strange women are outside there to bring down any irresponsible man. You become an easy prey when you're not in connection with your wife and children because one may be overpowered by another,  two can withstand him and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.
   I can't but mention this story of the Syrophoenician woman who begged our Saviour for the healing of her daughter. Even after insult upon insult, she didn't give up until she got her daughter's healing. Permit me to ask this question; where is her husband? Every father should be like Jairus (one of the rulers in the synagogues) in the Holy Book who humbled himself to beg our Saviour earnestly for the healing of his daughter. I pray our fathers adhere to this word of wisdom from our Creator.  #LOVE COACH. #I-teach-write-research-counsel. #Relationship-betterment-Love-impactor.

  1. You are an answer to one my prayers: that God will raise men as coach in the areas of relationship. I hope this will make more men get committed to building their homes. Few men are studying in the area of marriage, few attend seminars as if marriage is only meant for women and they expect their wives to be submissive forgetting their role to groom the wife and get understanding to deal with her. Ipet3:7. God bless you bro. More grace.
