Why Are Christian Marriages Failing?

It is always a great joy whenever I receive an invite from young christian brothers and sisters inviting me to their weddings. I put on my best suit and polish my shoe leaving no traces of dust. Just before the vows are said, I begin to get scared. I ask myself; Is this also going to last long? What is the foundation for this marriage? Is this another plot by the devil to just put them together and split them in some few years to come??? Though I am putting down some notes to share here soon, I would like to know from you........WHY DO CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES FAIL????? Share your thought

LET THE SUN STAND STILL

Life indeed is interesting. Not all times are smooth and the same way definitely not all times are bad hence at every minute we have something to thank God for.

One thing we definitely need in life is to pray to let the sun stand still on our lives. Look at the sun very well and you will notice that first, it gives light. Thinking through the book of Joshua and after listening to the hymn "Jesus Shall Reign where'ere the sun", I concluded that indeed there are some things man cannot do in the evening. You can bear with me that humans are so limited. We are limited in so many ways. Reading Joshua 10:1-15, we saw how Joshua on the day the Lord gave the Armorites over to the people of Israel prayed for the sun to stand still. Joshua saw that when the sun goes down, there wouldn't be any light to locate the enemies. The fighters of Israel will therefore start fighting against each other heance he prayed forthe sun to stand still. God created heaven and earth as well as day and night but on that day He made the day rule over the night. The enemy loves darkness, yes. It tries to flourish in darkness. I am beginning to feel and think that maybe the Armorites would have either run away etc but Joshua saw the need to ask the controller of the Sun to make it stand still till victory is won.

Its time men start praying to God to let the sun rise and set no more. We ought to either change our prayer topics or add some to it. We need to pray till there is peace in our countries. You and I need to be the sun on our families, our schools, work places, neighborhood, marriages and relationships. Life people say is a battle but I think they are preparations God want us to go through for a better tomorrow. We therefore need to be strong and pray without ceasing. Pray and stand still till the battle is won and till every enemy is destroyed.

When the sun continue to stand still, you are able to locate the enemy in its hiding place. You are able to take control and fight victoriously because the enemy hates light. Its so sweet when the sun rises and sets no more over our lives, marriages, education, finances etc.
When it matters most, when we call on God, when we trust our ways to Him and walk with Him, He is able to do all things exceedingly above what we think off. When the sun stands still in your life, you keep fighting on. While Joshua’s men were fighting, Joshua
prayed to God. He asked God to make the sun stand still until they had won the victory.
Believe it or not, God made the sun stop in the middle of the day and delayed it going
down about a full day.
God listened to Joshua and granted his prayer request. Now remember that Joshua had
recently done wrong. However, God has heard Joshua ask for forgiveness and God erased
the sin. Joshua learned his lesson from his mistake. He talked and listened to God and did
what He wanted.
Stand still and fight till victory is won.

Let us pray, let us hold on, let us keep the faith, let us pray the sun stands still on our jobs, marriages, relationships, works, christian life, families, countries etc.

Stay blessed.

THE FUNNY MYSTERY SIDE OF LIFE

That is life. We have no other option but to accept it. It is nature and this is what I call the mystery of life. I have never stopped to think but it unfolds every second. Some of which we are withnesses, others we only hear on the world news networks.
In this world,
Whiles bush burning is becoming the order of the day in some countries, natives of other countries are busily planting trees with the aim of greening their environment.
Whiles companies are laying off because of credit crunch, others are employing.
Whiles some people are sad, others are busily making merry.
Some relationships are broken whiles others are busily falling in love.
Whiles people are afraid to build because of the earthquake in Haiti, Dubai now boast of the world tallest building.
Whiles there are wars in some countries, other countries are busily signing peace agreements.
There are shortages of water in other countries whiles others experience flood and are fed up with God.
People are being taken to the morgue or mortuary whiles others are happily returning home from the maternity ward.
Whiles some married couples are childless and their marriage is about to hit the rock, another couple have about six to eight children but they are all disrespectful and a nuissance to the community in which they live.
Others are dying whiles new ones are being born.
It can go on and on and on but never forget that whiles man continue to sin, God keeps loving us and forgiving us.
That is life. What we need is patience and trust in God.It may not go well for you today but trust God for a better tommorrow.
Its nice to wish for something but don't worry if you dont have it because you don't know what having that might have done to you.

AM NOT WORTHY OH GOD.

Yes am not worthy and I will continue to say it over and over again anytime am given the chance to stand before the great white throne of God.
I remember very well when I used to attend children service as a child my teacher told me the wages of sin is death and any one who sins shall die.
I have really done some things in life that are indeed sinful before the sight of God. As a child, I stole and don't be supprised or pretend because we have in some way taken something that that does not belong to us maybe as a result of we needing it badly in the owners absence or using it without permision, insulted the elderly, got angry sometimes when I was sent and.... just name them. What my teacher told me never came to pass that I will die when I sin. Sometimes I wonder, how true is the Bible because am still alive today. During my tertiary education, the very things I swore not to do were the very things I did including anything you can think of except smoking.
If God was to go by what He said in the Bible, I would have been dead and turned back into soil and even no plant would have loved to grow at where I was burried BUT thanks be to God. He has been merciful to me. I owe Him a lot. God has really given me hope in life. He has accepted me in my sins and told me He has a purpose for me. He said I shall not die until I have fully finished the purpose for which He sent me.
When I was lost and thought all was gone, He appeared and told me not to worry because His Grace is sufficient for me(2nd Corinthians 12:9).
God is faithful and He is full of Love. He keeps His promises and is ready with open arms to welcome anyone no matter the wrongs you've done in life.
Life in God I can see is full of goodness even though I have not fully explored all the oppurtunities in Him.

Help me through this hymn.

Great is thy Faithfulness
Great is the Faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed, thou hand hath provided
Great is thy Faithfulness Lord unto me
