Impacted Life

Many of us call our struggles “bad luck” or assume God is punishing us for sin. But often, they’re spiritual patterns we must confront with prayer — and sometimes fasting.

Prayer works best when we stay in the battle and do the hard work of waiting patiently. You may pray for a while and feel like nothing is changing. But that’s far from the truth. God is working even when you can’t see it.

We know now that the devil is attacking marriages intentionally. A broken marriage leads to a broken home, and a broken home leads to a broken society.

So when you notice repeated difficulty and challenges in your marriage, treat it as spiritual warfare. Shift your focus from your partner’s mistakes to their heart and their conversion. Ask the Holy Spirit to make you patient and kind, even when it’s very hard.

The fruit of prayer sometimes shows up immediately. But more often, it takes patience, waiting, and faith before we see the manifestation of what we’re praying for.

If you see a pattern of failure or trouble in your family, marriage, business, or career — don’t give up. Take it to Jesus and stay in the fight.

_“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness.” - Ephesians 6:12_

*Prayer:*
Lord Jesus, open our eyes to see the true battle. Teach us to pray, to wait on You, and to fight with faith instead of frustration. Make us patient, kind, and strong in the Spirit for our families and destiny. Let every pattern of defeat break now, in Jesus’ name. Amen 🙏🏾

Danger Of Assumption!

*_A few months ago, I was invited to a programme in a school in Jos, Plateau State as a guest speaker._*

*_When I entered the auditorium, I saw some Guests I knew sitting in one corner. I went up to them and started to greet them one after the other._*

*_I shook their hands, even with the ones I didn't know until I got to one guest. I didn't know him and when I extended my hand, he ignored it. After few seconds, I withdrew my hand. All my thought was, "what arrant nonsense?" I kept asking the question from myself. I felt very embarrassed and angry. Embarrassed for myself and angry at the man._*

*_What was he feeling like, I thought. All those other guests accepted my greeting. And to my knowledge, I hadn't done anything wrong. I gave him a very scornful look, greeted the remaining guests and went to take a seat._*

*_Now, even after I sat down, I was still pi**ed. I kept stealing glances at the guest to see how he would react to other people._*

*_Then I saw it... Amazingly he was blind!!!_*

*_His eyes were open, but he couldn't see at all! The other guests who came to greet him had to touch him first, then take his hand if they wanted to shake hands with him._*

*_To my great surprise, he is my hidden protege who really appreciates my lectures. I never knew he came purposely because his wife informed him that I will be the guest speaker for this year's Programme. In fact, he was waiting to hear someone bemoan my name so as to stand and hug me._*

*_When I heard this, my embarrassment level tripled. In addition to that, I felt stupid, very stupid. I was still angry, just angry at myself. In fact, I could not say a word to him until I got to the podium and my speech for that Programme changed from "Recovery" to "DANGER OF ASSUMPTION"._*

_©️ *Assumption kills like poison. Any small thing, we assume, thinking others are doing what we think not what we validate by personal eye witness.*_

_©️ *Someone doesn't pick our calls, we assume he or she is avoiding us or is up to something.*_

_©️ *Someone doesn't give us the money we asked for, we assume he or she is stingy and wicked...*_

_©️ *Someone doesn't call, hangout or visit you as he/she usually does. We assume they are no longer caring or intimate again, then comes the anger and repulsive attitude towards them.*_

_©️ *We never care to know and understand that issues of life can set in to choke them. Also that, the issues of life are diverse in nature, not the same*._

_©️ *Once we are turned or rejected, we start assuming. Power of verification of issues is more important and significant for more connection with healthy people to get to the top.*_

_©️ *We don't put into consideration what the other party might be going through or experiencing. Always have it at the back of your mind that, other people might not be in pleasant mood like you.*_

_©️ *The guy that promised you money might get into a financial situation a day before he's supposed to give you the money.*_

*_✓ The person that didn't pick your call was probably in a meeting or busy at that moment, or even sleeping. He might not be in the mood to take your call._*

*_✓ We just assume instead because it’s easier and it tends to make us the good guys._*

*_✓ Give someone benefit of the doubt, make an excuse for that person. It's not always as it seems in your mind and head._*

*_Maintain relationships with people. What you EXPECT will COME towards you and what you don't EXPECT will RUN away from you._*

*_✓ It is childish and immature to pick offence at every provocation or perceived wrongness and then start keeping grudges as a result. Grow above it._*

*_✓ Someone did not invite you for their wedding, you pick offence with them._*

*_✓ Someone didn't wish you happy birthday, you pick offence with the person._*

*_✓ They didn't like your Facebook post, you pick offence._*

*_✓ They didn't support you in a disagreement you had with someone, you pick offence with them._*

*_✓ They are junior and they have the audacity to talk or oppose your opinion. You pick offence with them._*

*_✓ They said No to your request, you pick offence and malice starts._*

*_✓ You asked them for money, they said they didn't have it, you pick offence with them._*

*_✓ You are even keeping a record of people who brought gifts to your wedding, those who blessed you because you helped them, you have the list of those who give you gifts or money always among your junior colleague, so you can know who to pick offence with._*

*NOTE:*

_@ *Everyone has his/ her battle that someone is not aware of.*_

_@ *Those who you need help from are also looking for help.*_

_@ *Not everything is personal and intentional.*_

_@ *Not everyone hates you.*_

_@ *Sometimes, people are just caught up with their own lives, struggles, human weaknesses, and limitations.*_

_@ *Learn how to manage being disappointed by people and still be on talking terms with them. It will save you a lot of UNNECESSARY grudges and save you some FRIENDSHIPS you may need in the future.*_

*_Grow above offences, grow with offences, grow ignoring offences, and stop hurting yourself._*

A Man of honour is never a Man who defends himself, but a Man who defends the ideologies and the institution he stands for; a Man whose values are beyond personalities or recognitions from Men.

I watched a Television interview granted by Emeka Ike, I watched the interview granted by the Ex-Wife and the son; I also read the post-Emeka's brother made and the question that came to heart was very simple.

If Emeka Ike was a Bad Man and a brutal husband and father as the Ex-wife and the son presented him to be...

a. how come, Emeka Ike picked her and married her without educational qualifications of any kind?

A Man who doesn't love you will never marry you if your standards of life and education are lower than his.

b. how come, Emeka Ike sent her to the University when he only attended Yaba College of Technology?

A Man that doesn't love you will never give you the right or permission to be greater than him.

c. how come Emeka Ike established businesses and put her in charge of running those businesses?

Only a Man who loves you and trusts you can entrust you with his source of income. Men usually don't allow their wives to be part of their business.

d. how come Emeka Ike made her a signatory to his account?

Men are usually in the habit of keeping their money away from their Wives. But he gave the Wife access to his money so that she could withdraw any amount of money she so wished.

Now, before our Social Media sisters-in-law, judges and lawyers will begin to cast stones; ask yourself if your husband or husband-to-be can do this or is doing this. If he's not, then you should give credit to those that did.

The Ex-Wife came on television to claim that Emeka Ike was in the habit of beating her. But she never told us that she was the one who first slapped him because the husband was trying to correct her for not taking proper care of their daughter.

The light was shunned on this truth when Emeka Ike's former Personal Assistant came out to tell the whole world what led to that.

I'm not in support of a Man beating his wife or the Wife beating the husband and I will never be part of that. But please, be honest, how many of you dare to sell your husband's businesses and run away because of his beating?

I used to know a Deacon in RCCG who used to beat the Wife and leave her in her pool of blood. Twice this Man beat the Wife to the point of coma. It took me a whole year to pray her out of that marriage. Because of the money the husband was donating to the church, their Pastor kept telling her to endure, God hates divorce. She never for one day sold or took anything that belonged to her husband.

She left the marriage with honour and integrity.

Despite selling all the husband had then, Emeka Ike's Ex-Wife still cannot train or give quality education to the children.

She took the son away from the school the father put him in Abuja to further his education and never put the boy in any school but was quick to get the boy a job in a restaurant. I'm so sorry to say, I do not consider such a person as a life-giver. She is a life killer. Destiny Destroyer Pro Max.

If you think or believe that what Emeka Ike's Ex-Wife did to him was right, then I pray that the Lord God of heaven will give your son/sons such a Lady for a Wife so that you can see and feel how painful it is.

Emeka Ike is a bad husband and yet you had two children for him before you asked him to pay your Bride Price which he did without hesitation and you still have another child for him after the Wedding and yet you claimed he is a bad person.

If your claim is true, why did you ask him to pay for your Bride Price? Why did you have children for him? I'm sure no person in her right mind will get pregnant by a bad person unless the person herself is bad.

In one of her statements, she said that she married Emeka Ike because she wanted to be a model and she thought Emeka could be of help to her to be a successful model. But unfortunately, she never shares her dream of becoming a model with him.

This also means that she did not marry him because she loved him, but because she wanted to use him to build her career as a model and probably dump him once she became successful as a model.

So many Ladies do this. They pretended to love a man because they needed a place to stay, someone to take care of them, someone to have a child or two with and ended the marriage. Before you comment on this, check your heart, do you marry the Man in your life because you love him or because you are using him to meet a need in your life?

According to him, if his broke then, he probably has Fifteen Million Naira in his account. Do you know what that means? By now, he was supposed to be a billionaire but his Ex-wife destroyed all that because of her greed, lack of foresight and evil-mindedness.

As far as I can tell, there is more to Emeka Ike's Ex-Wife's personality and criminal act. What she did is a criminal offence with serious consequences that is if Emeka Ike chose to seek justice.

What exactly did she do with all the money she made from selling her husband's businesses and properties? She should be made to account for it.

Friends, be careful when you are choosing a life partner. He or she will either make you or Mar you.
