-
The enemy's greatest target, marriage. Welcome
-
to Pomoja Podcast, a ministry of Live of Christ
-
International. Pomoja means together, and that's
-
what this space is all about. Walking together
-
in faith, growing together through the Word,
-
and living the life of Christ in our homes, our
-
marriages, and our daily lives. I'm your host,
-
Barry Mwamba, and in this first season, we're
-
talking about something the enemy fears the most,
-
marriage. My wife and I have been married for
-
18 years, and before that, we dated for five.
-
We're both Christians, born again and filled
-
with the Holy Spirit. Today, by God's grace,
-
we have a beautiful family, a deep friendship,
-
and a love that continues to grow. But getting
-
here wasn't easy. We walked through storms, real
-
storms, moments we weren't sure we'd make it.
-
There were nights we thought love was gone, times
-
we ignored each other's hearts, separated bills,
-
called lawyers, and even started planning to
-
live apart. We believed we had lost our first
-
love, but God, in his mercy, stepped in. He reminded
-
us who joined us together in the first place.
-
He showed us that marriage isn't built on emotion,
-
or understanding, or intelligence, it's built
-
on him. I chose to begin this series with marriage
-
because I've learned something powerful. The
-
devil's biggest mission is to destroy marriage.
-
Because when marriage falls, the church weakens
-
and society follows. He knows that strong marriages
-
build strong families, and strong families build
-
strong communities. So he attacks the foundation,
-
the covenant God designed to reflect his love.
-
But through the years, I've learned that a lasting
-
marriage isn't built on beauty, intelligence,
-
or even emotion. It stands on God and on two
-
hearts that refuse to let go of Him or of each
-
other. When storms come, when understanding fails,
-
when love feels tested, remember, your strength
-
is not in what you know. but in who holds you
-
together. Your only true support is God and your
-
spouse, your partner in the covenant of grace.
-
That's how marriages endure. That's how families
-
thrive. That's how the church stays strong. If
-
the enemy attacks what God built, then we must
-
defend it with prayer, grace, and love. Your
-
marriage is not just about happiness. It's about
-
holiness. Pray together. Forgive quickly. Stand
-
united when it's hardest to stand at all. Because
-
when your home is strong, your faith stands firm.
-
That's how marriages endure. That's how families
-
thrive. That's how the church stays strong. Thank
