Path To Marital Bliss
OpenLife Nigeria reproduces a path to marital bliss piece by an online marriage counselor, Jane Chukwu, on why women should not make attempt to curse a man. Jane, a graduate of the University of Calabar and married to Sir Benjamin Chukwu is the CEO Reverso-Ploutus Ltd, Family Business Coach, Marriage and Parenting Coach as well as President, Wealthy Women International. She backs up her arguemts with bliblical verses as presented below
A man is right in his marriage and God recognises this, let me tell you women God can’t curse a man, hear me again! God cannot curse a male gender, should I say it in pidgin English “God no fit curse man”
Let’s look at the scripture below:
God told the serpent: “Because you’ve done this, you’re cursed, cursed beyond all cattle and wild animals, Cursed to slink on your belly and eat dirt all your life. I’m declaring war between you and the Woman, between your offspring and hers. He’ll wound your head, you’ll wound his heel.”
He told the Woman: “I’ll multiply your pains in childbirth; you’ll give birth to your babies in pain. You’ll want to please your husband, but he’ll Lord it over you.”
He told the Man: “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree That I commanded you not to eat from, ‘Don’t eat from this tree,’ The very ground is cursed because of you; getting food from the ground Will be as painful as having babies is for your wife; you’ll be working in pain all your life long. The ground will sprout thorns and weeds, you’ll get your food the hard way, Planting and tilling and harvesting, sweating in the fields from dawn to dusk, Until you return to that ground yourself, dead and buried; you started out as dirt, you’ll end up dirt.”
Genesis 3:14-19 MSG Read this scripture carefully
God placed a direct curse on the woman and serpent but when it got to the male gender he couldn’t curse Adam, oh my goodness, the creator of heaven and earth, the one who made man and woman, the very one who instituted marriage had the inability to curse a man, did you see what he did when he couldn’t curse Adam? He transferred the aggression on the soil, he said to Adam I will curse the ground because of you.
Is God partial, unfair and a misogynist?
How come he couldn’t curse a man, how did everyone involved in the sin get a direct curse and then the male gender didn’t .
Dear sisters, if God could, he would have cursed Adam because he gave him the instructions or the law but the truth was and is still, God couldn’t. He didn’t have the ability even though He was pained He couldn’t curse a man because a man is a master, Lord, God, boss, ruler of his home and masters don’t judge or punish other masters directly.
Remember God is also a ruler, Head and master and as such he couldn’t because He shared same kind of power and authority with the male gender in marriage, oh he gave the man authority over his family. Listen no president of a country can curse or judge another president, every president is right in his own way or pattern of rulership, the president of United States of America can’t tell the president of Nigeria how to rule his country, he will be going beyond his area of jurisdiction but he can sanction the country to get to the president and so God cursed the ground because Adam and this is the reason you can’t demand equal right of leadership as a woman in your marriage and that’s why God wants your to obey and submit to your husband.
But this is where you can get God to act, when God sees you are obedient to his word by submitting to your husband in and out of convenience, he will see him as an oppressor and then he will judge him as an oppressor, remember when the citizens of a country are going through oppression by their government and they cry out to the countries with World power: countries like USA and UK or organisations like UN come to the aid of those citizens, when you obey a seemingly oppressive husband, his prayers will be hindered and he will have a hard time to succeed in his endeavour.
Read the scripture below.
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
1 Peter 3:7 KJV
You can’t be unfaithful, disobedient, insubordinate and not submissive to your husband and you expect that verse above to work for you, it won’t and can’t work, if you want it to work in your favour start by honouring, obeying, submitting and respecting your husband who is your master, Lord and saviour.
It will also not work for you, if you are the trigger of his oppression, you can’t provoke a man to anger and when he heats you are treats you bad, you come to God to demand for justice, if you must come to the God of justice, you must come with a clean heart.
