Satan is after families and marriages in America!
There is no other way to present the truth than this. He is intent on destroying marriages and family values in America.
He is doing this because of his hatred for the institution created by God. In Genesis 2 and 3, God instituted the first marriage and set the order for how the marriage institution should be.
The Bible specifically states that God made marriage to be between, ‘Man and Woman’.
Genesis 2:24: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
A man is to cleave to his wife – a woman, and not his boyfriend. The Bible was very clear in its stance on marriage.
But Satan, knowing that the strength of every great country is in its family and communal values, is destroying homes and marriages in America today.
THE HOMOSEXUAL MOVEMENT
Although homosexuality began in the Bible days (Romans 1:26-28), it wasn’t until the 19th and 20th century that the movement was awakened in America.
History shows us that homosexuality wasn’t originally in America’s fundamental rights.
But slowly, the homosexual movement crept into the United States. Men began to lust after men, girls began to lust after girls. This was never natural. It was the introduction of a demonic civilization.
We termed it civilization and freedom movement, unknown to us that this was a freedom promoted by Satan to cause America to turn against God.
The essence of the whole homosexual movement in America was/is to cripple families and family values, to reduce the sacredness and worth of marriage.
How will a mother, a morally upright mother be happy when her daughter falls in love with another girl.
What kind of child does a gay couple want to raise? What values do they want to give to the child? The healthy environment for a child to grow up is the presence of his mother and father; not two male sexual perverts.
But Satan is influencing the hearts of those in political power to support this big evil, so that the American family institution will collapse.
ABORTION
What is the logic in supporting the killing of babies and condemning the murder of adults?
Why is the killing of babies considered women right whilst the killing of adults is considered as a crime?
Are babies less human than adults?
Why is the American government in support of this great evil?
Once again, the Satanic agenda is shown. Scriptures tell us that ‘children are a heritage of God’. Every child is a gift of God.
If they’re gifts from God, then every baby from foetus stage should be valued and well nurtured.
But Satan is against this! Thus, he is taking advantage of people’s negative inclinations and using it to promote this demonic cause called Abortion.
Even irrational animals do not kill their babies, let alone humans. Abortion makes women worse than animals.
If the Church does not fight against this both in prayers and radical evangelism, it will increase fornication sporadically.
Girls will feel comfortable living promiscuously, because of the evil assurance that they can always have an abortion peradventure they get an unwanted pregnancy.
Folks, if you are a parent, you cannot afford to live carelessly this period. You must cling to your family, your kids, your spouse. Satan is after them, especially if you are a believer.
The tension between Kirk Franklin and his son is only a minute representation of the conflict in thousands of American homes presently.
Sons are turning against their parents. Young Girls are learning how to go on dates without their parent’s awareness.
What should believers do in times like this?
1. Attention and Affection
Now is the time to start giving attention to your kids and your spouse. Do not give attention that will make them on edge in your presence.
Let your presence be full of love, peace and understanding. Let your children know that you care. Let your spouse know that you care.
Do not get overly engrossed in your business or daily endeavors that you ignore the welfare of your family.
Make them your priority. Some people, especially men, make the excuse that they can’t express affection.
Well, if you cannot express affection, then do not get a family. If you can’t kiss your wife and tell her you love her, why did you marry her in the first place? Let go of your pride and open your heart to your family.
2. Establish core family values in your Home
The importance of having daily family devotion can never be overemphasised.
No matter how busy your schedule is, as a parent, every morning and/or evening, spend at least twenty minutes counselling your family, especially your kids.
Teach them the counsel of the Lord. We might not be able to eradicate homosexuality from the world, but we can ensure it doesn’t come into our kids.
We might not be able to end immorality in the world, but we can remove it from the lives of our kids.
Therefore, instead of bothering about what’s happening in the world, invest more time in having counselling sessions with your children.
Set practical examples for them. Be who you want your children to be. Let your family be known for godly values. Be a mentor to your children.
If you do not teach them the right things, society will teach them the wrong things. Parents must wake up to their responsibilities.
