Every marriage enters a moment when the warmth
-
of the house becomes fire, not fire that destroys
-
but fire that reveals. Some lessons cannot be
-
learned in prayer. Some maturity cannot be gained
-
in peace. Some character cannot grow without
-
pressure. And I remember the day the heat found
-
me. It was our first real fight. I was angry,
-
frustrated, overwhelmed. And in that moment of
-
heat, I did something I never imagined I would
-
do. I threw my wedding ring. It hit the floor.
-
And I screamed. You lied to me. Not from hatred,
-
but from hurt. That day, The house wasn't warm.
-
It was hot, uncomfortable, confrontational, exposing.
-
And God allowed it, not to break us, but to build
-
something in us. In moments like this, God does
-
something beautiful. He sends mentors. Our pastoral
-
Godfather couple stepped in, not to take sides,
-
not to shame us, but to guide us. They sat with
-
us. They listened. They diffused the fire in
-
the room, but not the lesson God wanted us to
-
learn. They showed us how to communicate without
-
attacking, how to listen without defending, how
-
to love without conditions, how to fight for
-
each other, not against each other. Their presence
-
was a reminder. Mentorship is God's way of guiding
-
you through the heat when your emotions can no
-
longer guide you. See, God doesn't only seal
-
the door. He also sends teachers of wisdom into
-
the house. Moses had Jethro. Joshua had Moses.
-
Elisha had Elijah. Timothy had Paul. Ruth had
-
Naomi. And I had them. Because sometimes the
-
Holy Spirit speaks. Not through a voice. Not
-
through a vision. But through people who carry
-
His wisdom. Mentorship. is the Holy Spirit wearing
-
skin. The heat wasn't he trying to destroy us.
-
It was trying to transform us. And mentorship
-
wasn't a sign of weakness. It was a sign of God's
-
mercy. The same room where I threw my ring is
-
the same room where God taught us how to love.
-
The same heat that exposed us is the same heat
-
that shaped us. And the same mentors who guided
-
us became a permanent part of our spiritual family.
-
Because in the kingdom, You don't grow alone.
-
You don't heal alone. You don't mature alone.
-
God surrounds you with voices of wisdom to make
-
sure you don't run out of the house when the
-
heat rises. This is Pomoja Podcast, where God
-
builds us, shapes us, and grows us. Where we
-
live the life of Christ, together. Be sure to
