Humility and Marriage

EXAMPLE 4: WAR ROOM
I WAS WATCHING A CHRISTIAN MOVIE CALLED WAR ROOM. IT IS ABOUT A FAMILY, A WIFE WHO IS A REALTOR , HER HUSBAND ,A TRAVELLING SALESMAN AND A DAUGHTER WHO IS IN THE MIDST OF HER PARENTS CONSTANT FIGHTING. THE FIGHTING WAS ALWAYS ABOUT HIS MONEY AND HER MONEY. HE WAS RUDE AND SHE MET HIS RUDENESS WITH HER OWN RUDENESS.
SHE MEETS AN OLDER WOMAN WHO SHARES A STRATEGY IN WINNING THIS WAR.
FIRST SHE SAID
1. STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND
2. STOP FIGHTING WITH YOUR HUSBAND AND START FIGHTING THE DEVIL
3. FIND A PLACE TO START YOUR PRAYER WARFARE
SHE SETS UP HER CLOSET AND STARTS WRITING PRAYER POINTS AND BIBLE VERSES. SHE SPENT TIME PRAYING FOR HER HUSBAND (NOT ABOUT HER HUSBAND)
IT WAS NOT EASY AT THE BEGINNING BUT THE CLOSET BECAME HER WAR ROOM. SHE SPENT TIME WITH THE OLDER WOMAN IN BIBLE STUDY. SHE ALLOWED HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD HER PRAYERS
4. SHE BEGAN TO PRACTISE WHAT SHE WAS LEARNING
SHE MET HER HUSBAND’S RUDENESS WITH KINDNESS AND SUBMISSION, SO MUCH SO THAT IT SURPRISED HIM. HE THEN DISCOVERED HER WAR ROOM AND HIS DAUGHTER’S OWN WAR ROOM. HE WAS CONVICTED BY HOLY SPIRIT AND GAVE HIS LIFE TO JESUS.
THIS ARE THE POINTS I SAW:
1. THIS MOTHER BECAME A ROLE MODEL TO HER DAUGHTER. WE NEED TO BE ROLE MODELS FOR OUR CHILDREN AND YOUNG GIRLS IN OUR CHURCH AND COMMUNITY, SHOWING THEM GOD’S SACRIFICIAL LOVE AND POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, OUR FATHER
2. THE OLDER WOMEN IN THE CONGREGATION NEED TO REACH OUT TO THE YOUNGER WOMEN. LIKEWISE, THE YOUNGER WOMEN SHOULD ALSO REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS. WE WOMEN OF ALL AGES NEED TO BE INTENTIONAL AND CONSISTENT IN OUR LOVE
WALK WITH OUR LORD.
3. PAY IT FORWARD. THE WOMAN DECIDED TO TALK TO HER YOUNGER SISTER AND HAVE A BIBLE STUDY WITH HER.
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD GIVES US THE INFLUENCE TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS AROUND US.
