Pastor Dr. Chris Kwakpovwe (The Publisher of Our Daily Manna) |
The
opening programme which happened to be a series, started with a heart lifting
praise and worship session led by the Ministry’s choir. The Assistant General Overseer
in the mission, Rev. Mrs. Flora Ejiro Kwakpovwe, led the congregation in
thanking God for the past anointing services, a monthly spiritual programme at
the Church headquarters, 8 Omotayo Banwo St, Ori-Oke Ogudu, Lagos with the
theme: Secrets of Marital Settlement/Bliss.
Speaking
on the topic: “Secrets of Marital
Settlement/BLISS”, PASTOR Kwakpovwe
enjoined the impressive crowd of the
spiritual exercise of developing a life of gratitude to God, explaining that it
is only God that deserved all our praise for all He has done for mankind;
praising Him for His goodness notwithstanding the challenges that come one’s
way. He then asked a pertinent question, “which marriage has God joined”? He
admonished any individual planning to
marry by demonic means to repent, warning that there was always a consequence
for anything taken from the devil!
Digging
deep into the topic, the anointed man of God said: “Talking about marriage,
Proverbs 18 verse 22 says ‘He that finds a wife finds a good thing.’ We begin
by saying THAT MARRIAGE HAS A GOOD THING which shall locate you. If you are not
married, my cry, prophecy and prayer is that you will not make a mistake.”
BISHOP KWAKPOVWE DELIVERING A SERMON ON SECRETS OF MARITAL BLISS |
1.
IF YOU MARRY ANOTHER
PERSON’S WIFE OR HUSBAND BY MISTAKE, YOU MIGHT NEVER KNOW PEACE. God is not an author
of confusion. If your wife or husband WILL die YOUNG, God knows that in advance.
So you must FIND YOUR OWN SPOUSE. DON’T MARRY ANOTHER PERSON’S SPOUSE BY ERROR.
Every one of us will be a widow or widower at one point or the other. In some
cases, the two die at the same time in an accident or unfortunately in the
hands of armed robbers, but that is not our prayer! Don’t HURRY to marry. It is
better to be single than to regret later. HEAR GOD’S VOICE AND LISTEN TO YOUR
INNER MAN ON ANY MAN OR WOMAN before marriage. PEACE IN YOUR INNER MAN means
God is saying ‘GO ON.’ Marry your friend and not just a church member or just a
spiritual person alone. MARRY YOUR FRIEND! Marriage is a MARATHON; NOT A
HUNDRED METERS DASH. So marry your friend. Plan a simple marriage. Refuse to
compete! WEDDING IS A CEREMONY OF 3
HOURS OR LESS. MARRIAGE IS A LIFE TIME! That is why I don’t give out money as
gifts to prepare for weddings. I help marriages; not weddings! Plan your
wedding in line with your purse. DON’T BORROW OR CREATE ENEMIES TO WED. More
secrets were revealed to the unmarried. GET THE CD’S please.
DR. CHRIS AMONG THE CONGREGATION DURING THE SERVICE |
The
whole congregation was on edge, the eagerness to hear more was written all over
their faces. The Bishop, WHO IS KNOWN AS A VERY EXPERIENCED, PRACTICAL AND
SCRIPTURAL VOICE ON MARITAL ISSUES IN NIGERIA AND BEYOND, continued:
I
HAVE HAD THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY IN MARRIAGE. WE ALL HAVE. BUT MY
MARRIAGE TODAY IS HEAVEN ON EARTH. Marriage is something given by God for us to
enjoy only on this earth for a purpose. Those of you not married today, you
shall not marry another person’s husband or wife. Make sure you ask God: Is he/she
my own or another person’s own? If it’s another husband or wife, the battle you
will face may make you want to throw someone out of the boat like Jonah.
THE
SECRETS INCLUDE:

2.
Pray together always.

Sow seeds of kind words daily.

WATCH YOUR MSC – MONEY
ISSUES, SEX ISSUES AND COMMUNICATION. THAT IS MSC.
9.
IGNORE SEPARATION. It leads to regrets later! It leads to DIVORCE! SEPARATION
IS ILLEGAL DIVORCE! DON’T DO IT. IN MY
CULTURE, STAYING OUTSIDE YOUR MATRIMONIAL HOME FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS/NIGHTS
WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF YOUR HUSBAND IS ADULTERY! I think it should apply to men
too.
10.
LOTS MORE. ORDER THE CD’S PLEASE (ORDER NUMBER MSB 7).
Rounding
off his sermon on Secrets of Marital Settlement/BLISS, the publisher of Our
Daily Manna (ODM) therefore enjoined everybody to go and study Jesus and the
Samaritan woman in the Book of John chapter 4 and learn from the lesson
therein.
