Make Sure Sin Is Divorced Before The Year Ends

Coming Soon:Your Messiah
Celebrating another unusual Christmas season with so much going on in the world makes the coming of a real and powerful Messiah so demanded.
One who can fix the mess, stop the storms with words, redeem from the curse, destroy the yokes of oppression, and various social issues people are trying to fix.
Though the times are different the circumstances and the issues that accompanied the savior's birth are extremely similar.
The jews were living under heavy oppression from the Romans and had almost given up on any expected change in their situation especially after God was silent in 400 years and no greater small prophet had appeared to bring a word from the Lord or to deliver.
But God was orchestrating the biggest event meanwhile to save the whole world not only one race and to deliver from eternal punishment those who accept him and believe in him as the only son of God who came in the flesh to represent the beginning of the new covenant which is based on better promises.
For this specific reason, Satan tried to abort God's plan from the start by trying to kill Jesus so the redemption plan would never take place.
As we all know Satan is no match for God and he lost his position in heaven because of rebellion and pride.
God's plans and purposes only prevail.The holy bible is a book that shows this supreme fact and God's faithfulness to his people generation after generation by rescuing them over and over again, providing for them, and fighting all their battles. He is a trustworthy and dependable God.
It is totally safe to trust only God and Mary did this and was highly favoured and honoured for trusting God's word completely with all the stigma that followed her and her family their whole life.
Today more than ever the world needs desperately a real saviour who can not only fix the material issues or natural catastrophes but change from the inside and give birth to a new nature.
This savior has already come and brought all the solutions to every problem a human being may face
and that is why many people are coming to faith in Christ in these times than before and are more recipients of the gospel than any other time.
He really is the world's only Messiah and everybody who believes in him will be saved here and in the life to come.
He came to establish another type of governing based on justice and peace and the bible mentions that wars will cease and military equipment will be destroyed under his reign.
The lion and the lamb will dwell together safely because their nature will be changed and all will live in peace and prosperity.
Such a mighty ruler is what the world is looking for and hoping to get every time they elect a leader and in most cases, after a short time, they get disappointed and try to find someone better to solve the problems.
The problem in the world is first spiritual and can't be fixed in any other way.
That is why Jesus almost always fixed first the spiritual issues in people and then the issue they thought was the problem.
That is why celebrating Christmas and the coming of Jesus is more important now than any other time because it does not remind us of a historical event that happened 2000 years ago, but is the hope and excitement for perfect rulership that is coming soon to put an end to suffering, injustices, oppression and all the negative issues related to the curse.
Christians also will rule with him and will be given positions in his kingdom according to their works for him in this life.
We have so much to be excited about and rewarded for so let all the saints encourage each other and work wholeheartedly for our Lord and savior for he who promised is faithful.

Support My Christian Business
Why Christians should support and choose Christian businesses when buying stuff they need?
When I grew up in Iraq it was always an easy choice when we needed
to buy stuff or services,in my family and most of the other Christian families the priority was always to Christian shops, companies, doctors, dentists,pharmacies, restaurants, photographers ...ect
The major reason in my opinion was to support each other and because these people were the most honest , skillful,hard workers and up to date in their profession.
Of course, we used all the other groups and never discriminate based on religious or ethnic reasons.
When I started for almost 2 years ago my printing company: https://www.hanaaglobal.com/
I was faced with a harsh reality in Norway. Most of the services I needed for running my company were owned by non-Christians and they tried their best to hinder my business from even being established.
I was in shock that non-Christians control almost everything and Christians are in need of them and not the other way around as the bible teaches.
We are the very ones who should be having dominion and authority over everything in this world yet others have someway managed to take their place
So all the services I needed were provided by non-Christians.
After the resistance, I faced to even get started and the ongoing attacks on my business,
I realized the root of the problem was the fear the non-Christians have concerning believers providing high-quality services and products, competing in the market, and gaining more influence and money.
Imagine how many Christian companies and persons had to give up their dream because of the resistance they faced and the lack of support they experienced from Christian customers?
That is why it is very important for Christians to support other Christian businesses so that we will build together with our own services another alternative for believers instead of being totally dependent on unbelievers to supply what we are more than able to do.
Many times I was denied certain services and I had to find alternatives outside Norway to keep running my business and it was done at a higher cost.
What if in the future you will face the same problem and certain services are denied for you and your family because of your faith? where will you get what you need when you need it?
I encourage you to consider my shop for buying gifts and other stuff so that you can get the best products and services, help in sharing the gospel and God's kingdom would advance in this world for God's glory.
In the book of Acts, we see this principle practiced very clearly when all believers supported each other and "none of them lacked anything" although they were persecuted fiercely.

Unacceptable Defect Offering
Most Of churchgoing Christians don't read their bibles and they get their doctrine and beliefs from their pastors or other persons on the internet who lack foundational faith that only comes through studying, reading, and practicing what is written in the bible.
To have personal experience with God is the basic requirement to preaching and then sharing the gospel with others.
This is why there is so much deception in the churches globally nowadays like never before though so much information is now available more than ever to know the truth,
In spite of all this, we are witnessing scandals of churches we thought were not corrupted.
One of the popular yet unbiblical teaching in the churches is that:
GOD DOESN'T WANT PERFECTION
Even many songs are written about how God doesn't want perfection and he is pleased with whatever you give him and however it is given.
This has caused Christians to lower their quality of giving and living to God.
In the book Of Leviticus Chapter 22:18-22 God gives a clear message to Moses about the type of offerings :
Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel and say to them:
Whatever man of the house of Israel or of the strangers in Israel who offers the sacrifice for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings which they offer to the Lord as a burnt offering,
you shall offer of your own free will a male WITHOUT BLEMISH from the cattle , from the sheep,or from the goats WHATEVER HAS A DEFECT YOU SHALL NOT OFFER
FOR IT SHALL NOT BE ACCEPTABLE ON YOUR BEHALF.
And whoever offers a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord
to fulfill his vow or a freewill offering from the cattle or the sheep ,
IT MUST BE PERFECT TO BE ACCEPTED THERE, SHALL BE NO DEFECT IN IT.....
Throughout the bible, we see God angry on the priests who accepted defect offerings from the people and he warned them of judgment if they did not follow his criteria.
When Esau and Jacob made an offering to the Lord, God accepted only Jacob's offering and rejected Esau's offering.
God is Most Holy, which is translated Perfect in many translations and in addition to meaning morally pure he is excellent and as his children, we should be the expression of his perfect image to the world.
He says: Be Holy as I am Holy
The angles around the throne cry all the time Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty because they are seeing all the time a new revelation of his holiness and perfection.
God is shaking the false churches that claim to represent him, but
are reflecting the most defective image of him
in different ways through false teachings, encouraging sin ,
strengthening the hands of wicked people, using God's name
in vain etc.
Even the way you dress to church shows how much you respect or disrespect God because according to the new
testament we are living sacrifice and if God has so
high standard for the animal sacrifices
how much more for the human being?
who were redeemed by the most perfect
lamb of God.
This puts pressure on us to perform at a higher level
so that our offerings will be accepted.
In revelation 3:2 Jesus says:
Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, FOR I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR WORKS PERFECT BEFORE GOD.
This means that when serving God, rewards will be based on the quality of the offering, not as most Christians assume it will be.
Let us encourage excellence and set higher standards in churches first then in the world.

Justice With The Righteousness
Living in these exciting times is beautiful, knowing that God has chosen each one of us to live in this specific period of time and not before makes all the difference.
Nothing happens unplanned with the great planner of the universe.
If God has chosen to let us exist now, then we must have a different assignment than those who lived before us. The message may be the same, but the methods and the revelations should be different due to the huge access to technology and information that our ancestors didn't have.
With everything speeding up around us, we must keep God's standards even when many may be tempted
to lower it when times get tough.
The scripture says: When the enemy comes in like a flood; the spirit of God raises a standard against it.
That means the greater the attack, the higher the standard.
God says we are the light of the world and the light is most needed when there is darkness.
For many reasons, the darkness is increasing and this is exactly the time to shine the truth of God's word and way of doing things.
God is counting on the believers to bring back justice and righteousness to their nations although may
be fought, will prevail.

Between Now And Pentecost
One of the things that we know about God is that he operates in seasons and there are certain seasons that he does more to those who believe than other times.
In the times of the feasts of the Lord, we can approach God knowing that in these divine appointments
he delights in answering our prayers in the most creative ways.
Pentecost is the next feast that is coming and I believe that God wants to do the unimaginable for us
during this period.
Most of us have things that we wait for and visions from God that only he can make happen.
When the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles on Pentecost and they began all the sudden to speak in other tongues and preached the gospel with power to the people who were there in Jerusalem from all the world.
How much time does it take to learn a new language and master it?
It varies from one person to another, but it takes at least a couple of years to speak it fluently.
The Holy Spirit made it happen in no time, he gave them new tongues in seconds shortening the process of learning. I believe that in this time between now and Pentecost God will cut off some long procedures in doing things. He wants to give us acceleration as a gift so that we can catch up in any area that we were delayed.
What happened after they were empowered with the Holy Spirit was extraordinary, Those apostles performed miracle after miracle and displayed in public the resurrection power of Jesus operating in them.
I know that God wants us to experience this power in our own life now in this time and not in the future to show the world that this Jesus that lives in us is still powerful and has all dominion in heaven and earth and is able to do in no time what we want him to do for us and others because this is his will for us like a mighty and only living God.

Year Of The Jubilee
This year we celebrate the year of Jubilee.

Jesus Christ Only Wins
He defeated death forever.
For many months now the whole world has been affected by coronavirus pandemic and people are trying to cope with the many changes and adjustments that come with it.
Some people have faced literal death caused by this virus and others have faced other types of death in relationships,hobbies, travels, and businesses.
The good news is that resurrection is coming.
It may look like Satan is in control, but in fact, Jesus is the winner always.
He came merely to destroy the works of the devil because Jesus would not let sin reign.
He went everywhere breaking bondages, casting out demons, healing, restoring, bringing people to life, feeding, teaching , and doing good so that righteousness, justice,peace, and life would reign.
His sacrifice made it possible for us to be counted worthy to be in a direct relationship with him.
Every year God gives me a new revelation about his resurrection and I believe there is much more that we will spend eternity in understanding it.
This year the Lord showed me that Jesus represents the second husband of Israel.
The first covenant between God and Israel was broken many times because the law was not enough to keep them faithful to God.So God broke his covenant with them and promised to establish a new one where people would not be partners but God himself through Jesus so that this new covenant would be better and unbreakable because it is no longer dependent on human character but on the character of God.
Then came the 400 years of silence between the first and the second covenant which represents the separation and divorce period.
God did not say one word to Israel and didn't send any prophet during that long time because he was done with them.
Then Jesus came and is the new bridegroom and he establishes his covenant with his own blood (like in any other marriage the blood seals the covenant).
In the first covenant, the blood of animals was required for establishing and staying in the covenant. Thank God we don't need this anymore since his blood was shed once and forever to establish this new covenant.
All those who believe in him and receive the free gift of salvation will enter this relationship with him and enjoy all the benefits of it in this life and eternally.
That is exactly what makes Jesus unique. All other religions are established on rituals and laws made by people who are currently dead.
Jesus Christ is alive, therefore we can have a relationship with him, get guidance, support, love, expectations, providence, and justice.
All these things are exclusive for Christians for the fact that their God is a living God !!!!
If you want to believe in Jesus and receive eternal life; just call on his name and ask him to be your Lord and savior today and he will fill you with his presence and his holy spirit and you will never be the same again.
The bible says whoever believes that Jesus is Lord and is baptized will be saved.
Take advantage of technology and make your own salvation because the end is very near and there is no time to waste anymore.
Cast sin out of your life and live a life worthy of all Jesus has given his own life for.

UNTIE THE COLT!!!
How this year palm Sunday is unlike any other?
We who grew up in the church know that this day is a special day of celebrating the triumphant entry of Jesus to Jerusalem and the praise he got from the people saying" Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest" and people's joy and celebration caused huge jealousy from the Pharisees toward Jesus because people acknowledged him as a king for the first time and we know that how they began seriously to plan on how to kill him.
Today I feel the Lord's focus is not on the celebration. I hear him say to us and to the leaders: Untie the colt!!!
The colt that Jesus used to enter Jerusalem was unused and bound but the lord knew where it was and commanded his disciples to bring it to him for this specific purpose of entering Jerusalem.
This pandemic caused many restrictions for so many people and for so long time that most people feel they have been bound to one place and can't even see what their purpose is.
But Jesus is saying Untie the colt. Break free for you have a great purpose. You will soon be used for the most important event in your lifetime.
Even if no one needed you before, the highest Lord in heaven is in need of you and he wants to break the chains that are holding you captive and useless. Sin causes captivity and with it the person becomes useless to the kingdom.
But when Jesus forgives you and sets you free, you become not only useful but will do greater works and bring greater glory to his name.
The world is doing everything to make you sin and put yokes on you and even in some big churches they are encouraging sin and praising those who commit it publically though God is warning them and judging them they are rebellious goats using religion to cover up their corruption and to destroy the church from the inside.
We are not only called to preach the gospel but also to expose false ministries because most people don't have the holy spirit and can't discern who is true and who is false Christian.
It is interesting that in the book of Luke the next thing that Jesus did after entering Jerusalem was cleansing the temple from the sellers and traders. I don't think this is a random event but rather a divine order to teach us that being used by God includes cleansing his house from outsiders and those who are there to
damage his name and not for prayer and worship.
Many churches are using God's name to do other things that God hates and he counts on us in restoring his house to be a house of prayer and holiness.
There is so much to be said and done about these false ministries and God will back us up when we say and do what is on his heart.
If you feel bound for any reason just ask Jesus to set you free so that he can do in you and through you greater works for your benefit and his glory.

Overcoming Through Jesus Messiah
How to transform lent time and the resurrection of Jesus into a dynamic and faith-filled period instead of a storytelling event?
Many churches and Christians use this time to speak about the cruelty of the Jews who crucified Jesus for many illegal reasons rooted mainly in hatred and jealousy and I can picture Jesus saying to us:Focus on your own story of the resurrection, It's your turn to raise some dead things in your life to life and to kill other things.
There are dreams , assignments, callings, and plans that need to be resurrected because the last year caused many to change their lives radically due to the pandemic and now the time has come to breathe life into them and overcome the enemy's strategies to discourage and even stop you.
On the other side, there are some things that must die so that the total focus will be on Jesus and the work he gives us to do.
These things may not be so dangerous, but they cause a huge distraction for you. It could be using much time to watch silly tv programs or songs, much time on social media , talking for hours every day on the phone and gossiping ect...
Some friendships and relationships must also die because those people are not part of the next season of your life.
In addition, this time of the year is very special since one of the significant feasts of the Lord,the Passover, will be celebrated by Christians all over the world next month.
God wants to do marvelous signs and wonders to us and through us so that the resurrection power in us will be displayed to others and will cause many to believe.
I really think God is fed up with the churches celebrating Easter as a historical event with some old hymns and rituals. He wants us rather study the resurrection of Jesus and apply it to our life so we can ovércome like him and demonstrate this supernatural power to the world.
Everything Jesus did, God expects us to do by the power of the holy spirit so that everyone who believes will have a resurrection story to tell this season for the same power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells within us.

God’s Gift Of Health
More than any other year there was focus on health and sickness in the past year and people all around the world were affected directly or in directly by the pandemic.
I was thinking in the past few days about how God has blessed me with supernatural health from my childhood till now whereas people who are younger than me and older have been cursed with many serious illnesses.
In school and later in university I was the only student that showed up everyday except for Christmas and Easter vacations.
This didn’t change later , I enjoyed excellent health that enabled me to work ,travel , be active on social media for years and take perfect care of my children all the time on my own even when I was “ married” and full responsibility after divorce.
People may give credit to genes or environmental factors that are also important.
For me as a child I didn’t think too much about health ,but when I became an adult I became more aware of this subject especially when I saw some friends suffer from different types of sicknesses.
I knew that God has given me this gift ,but I didn’t have a biblical insight about it.
When I discovered the importance of the Holy communion and the supernatural power that comes with it , I realized that this could be one of the reasons since I attended church and took the holy communion on regular basis .
The other most significant reason I found from the Bible is God’s promise to those who love him and serve him from their heart , his promise to them is to bless them and take away sickness from among them.
I enjoy telling people about the true Jesus who I think I have spent much time with him than any other person in this generation and that increased the anointing on my life tremendously , with it comes supernatural power and health.
The last few years my enemies on social media increased proporionately to the anointing and they have spread all kinds of lies about me including serious sicknesses.
The worst enemies are people who call themselves christians eventhough they act the devil.
I have learned this long time ago that all fake people and particularly christians don't feel comfortable around me because the anointing on me exposes them and they can't deceive others anymore.
When I disappear from social media it is for either lack of support or working on new projects not because of health issues.
Jesus prohibits us from preaching the gospel to people who refuse to listen and he commands us to leave and even shake the dust from your sandals that belong to that place before leaving and wait for God's judgement on that place for rejecting him through his messangers.
I preach the real Jesus and his kingdom which is greatly opposed by religious and fake christians ,but God want this message out quickly because the deception in the church and outside the church is huge.
If you are struggeling with any kind of sickness consider the things I mentioned about taking the holy communion , spending time with Jesus daily , searching for his health promises in the bible ,praying about them and eating healthy stuff which will keep you healthy.

The Revelation That Will Change Your Life
Today is Valentine's day and though it is different this year from any other year,there are still many who love to celebrate this day as couples while single people prefer to keep silent.
I want to reveal to you something that will change the way you think as a single Christian or even as a married person.
If you are a believer in Jesus you are never single. In fact all christians are married even the single and divorced.
God has declared in the bible many times that " I am married to Israel".
Israel for the new covenant believers is the church and the body of Christ.
In fact the name of the first and the second covenant refers to marriage covenant.God has many times declared that his people broke his covenant through many prophets and therefore Jesus was sent to eadtablish a new covenant based on better promises.
In the first covenant the blood of animals was required to seal the covenant. In the second covenant Jesus sealed the covenant with his own blood and the sacrifice was made only once and forever.
When you believe in Jesus and enter into this relationship with him, he will become your partner.Like any other relationship it requires time and energy to get to know each other and stay connected.
There is not such a thing as many christians misunderstood that if you leave him or want to end the relationship that he will stay.
When David instructed Solomon before his reign on Israel he said clearly to him: If you forsake him he will forsake you.
All these worship songs about how God will never leave you no matter what and he will always chase you are not biblical.
Take a look around you and you will see the people who don't want God or Jesus , God doesn't chase them or force them to be with him.
Jesus said: I am standing at the door and knocking ,if you open I will enter.
This relationship is conditional. God removes his presence and brings it back according to people's actions.
The glory in the first covenant represented his presence and we read throughout the bible that the glory departed from them or the glory returned based on their actions.
In this covenant of Jesus we have the person of the Holy Spirit who lives within us and those who know him well know when he is activated and when he is not.He is gentle and can be deactivated by one's words and actions.
For christians love is celebrated every day not once a year because we know that by faith, Jesus is our bridegroom and we are his eternal bride.

The Biblical Reasons For Divorce
Before Jesus came adultery was defined only by physical intimacy with someone who is not your husband or wife ,but Jesus took it into a whole new level by saying that if you looked into someone and lusted in your heart , you have already committed adultery.
Adultery is the legal reason for divorce because it breaks the covenant of loyalty and faithfulness.
I wonder how many married people are living together with a broken covenant?
In God's eyes they are divorced no matter how many family pictures they post on social media or pictures of their spouse or even they keep on having children.
If you have lusted in your heart after another person your covenant is already annuled.You can fool people but you can never fool God.
Jesus' standard for love and marriage is very high.He wants wives to be loved as he loved the church and gave his own life for her. In the book of song of songs he gives us a glimpse of how women should be loved and treated in a relationship.
Sometimes the covenant is invalid from the start if it was based on lies and deception.
So not every married couple is actaully married in God's eyes.There are many who stay together for other reasons like keeping their image or because of house or car loans.
Back to the reasons, there is another important reason which is rarely mentioned and that is being married to a non believer or they become non be likevel during marriage.
Paul has a clear command about this in 1 Corinthians 7
" but if the unbelieving partner separates ,let it be so.In such cases the brother or sister is not bound .God has called you to live in peace."
There is another verse on the importance of not being yoked with unbelievers because this will lead to conflict and will ruin the marriage.
In these cases the divorce is biblical and legal.kan
If you are considering divorce because of these reasons don't waste more time and do it ,because people will try to convince you to stay longer ,work harder and expect them to change but you will only waste more time in the wrong relationship.
May be you are serving the Lord and people are trying to stop you now because you are divorced , you should never stop because God did'nt say: because you were married I called you ,
but he said: before you were formed in the womb I called you .
That means anything that happens later do not cancel the call unless you do.
The anointing will not disappear after the divorce ,but it actually increases because now we have more time for prayer ,worship ,study and fellowship with the spirit.
My advice to every believer : single,married or divorced is to focus first on your relationship with God because this is the only thing that will help you no matter the season and will nourish your spirit and soul and give you the true satisfaction that only God can give.
Divorce is a new start in life and brand new opportunity to become all God wants you to become.The freedom that comes with it is unbelievable.
Now all the sudden you are no longer bound to the heavy traditions and customs.
Jesus said my yoke is easy and this is very true because when we are joined with him we move together in the same direction with the same rythem ,his power becomes ours and through him we can do all things.
I believe God is raising this group of people to higher levels of influence because he wants to show that he is also God of the divorced
In USA the new first lady was a divorced woman who got remarried and this is the first time I think such thing happens though you don't hear about it in any church .I believe God is promoting this group of people regardless of people's approval or not because Jesus himself went through the same thing.
Mary ( the earthly mother of Jesus) was actually supposed to be divorced after she told Joseph about her pregnancy.He had only tow choices according to Torah: either divorce her publicly or privately , but since he loved her, he wanted to divorce her privately that's why God had to stop him through a dream and Jesus was born as a result.
Jesus lived with this stigma his whole life but he never allowed it to hinder his plan or his mission on earth which he completed successfully.

Divorce Is As Important As Marriage If Not More
This is the subject that the Lord has been urging me to talk about in a while for many reasons and I think now is the appropriate time.
I will only focus on biblical divorce which is mentioned in the bible in both the old and the new covenant hoping it will help many persons who are stuck in bad marriages thinking that it is God’s will.
A bad marriage is not God’s will for anyone and don’t believe those who say that it is your cross.It is a lie from the enemy to keep you from enjoying life and completing your assignment on earth.
Every time I would ask Jesus about divorce he would lead me to this verse no matter how many times I asked the answer was the same:
“The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath”
At first I thought Jesus was not listening to me or even not understanding my question because I keep asking him about divorce and he keeps talking about the sabbath.
Then I searched for the word sabbath to know what it exactly meant
and I knew from before that it was the rest day ordered by God for his people ,but the search gave me the same result:Complete rest ,seize from toiling and enjoying God and life.
Then I understood what Jesus was saying to me .He was saying that marriage was made for man not man for marriage.You should not sacrifice your life to keep this institution by doing this you are not honoring God nor bringing glory to his name.
Marriage should be like the sabbath day :to enter into complete rest ,harmony and to enjoy life.
To be honest I tried to avoid this topic for so long because I 'm done with it ,but the Lord keeps reminding me of it to help other people who are going through what I went through and cannot find the right and the biblical counsel they need .
Divorce is more important than marriage .If you never get married and stayed single your whole life there will be no serious consequences for that decision even Jesus is still single ,but if you stay in a bad marriage the consequences may become very serious many people may be involved.
I think I am more qualified than any other pastor both male or female to talk about divorce because I went through this process myself and had to navigate through this unknown thing all by myself with Jesus as my counsellor.
What you read in few lines here it took me years to discover.
I still remember searching for Christian divorce articles and videos in the Internett and finding very few , shallow ones and often from a man’s perspective.
I was and still am shocked by how little this important issue is discussed in the church and by christians to the degree that makes you think that no one is reading their bibles or no one knows someone who needs to hear this message.
That’s one of the reasons that delayed my divorce because I had to find all the answers by myself with absolute no help from the church or family.
Divorce is allowed by God i some cases ,but almost forbidden by his people.
Growing up in the catholic faith and family ,divorce was something unheard of for christians.We combined divorce with Islam because the only divorced people we knew were muslims.
And now I know why. One of the reasons is the ignorance of the religious leaders in this area since all catholic pastors are single and they never experienced being married or having to deal with different situations and issues.
In the west though pastors are married they are also against biblical divorce because I think they are mostly afraid that their wives or daughters may be encouraged to break up their relationships if they allow It for others.
The other significant reason is the huge society pressure to stay married no matter what the consequences may be .I thought this thing was challenging in the middle east ,but to my surprise it was not easier in the west specially with christians and pastors.They are divided on many biblical issues but united on this topic :divorce.
I have never seen a divorced pastor serving in churches , there might be some here and there ,but I haven’t seen any.
This thing must change quickly ,because there are many divorced and God- loving people who are not allowed to serve the Lord just because their marriage didn’t work out while many unqualified,uneducated and unanointed persons are allowed to do so just because they are married.
No wonder why Jesus hated the religious group and rebuked them everyday because even in these days they have not changed much , they are using his name, but ignorant of his will and word.
Tomorrow I will speak about the biblical reasons for divorce.
