Pst. Mrs. Faith Oyedepo Says: "Make no provision for Divorce"

Do all you can with your power to avoid divorce. Divorce brings about hatred between the family and even the children. Malachi 2:16 says: For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

God hates putting away! What God hates, you should hate too. What God has joined together, nothing should put it asunder (Matthew 19:5-6)

When there is a challenge in your home, divorce should not be the first option that comes to mind. Rather, it is important to first identify and analyze the challenge. Then, make proposals and choose a possible solution. This way, most problems can be solved.

What you don’t confront you never conquer. Be committed to deal with problems, not walk away from them. If you sleep with problems, you will still wake up to meet them the next day!

Divorce can be likened to marital amputation. It causes a lot of grief, pain, and wound that only God can heal. Even when a wound is healed, the scar remains, and in most cases, for life. Make no plans for divorce. Remember, prevention is better than cure.



So, Divorce was not part of God’s plan for marriage from the beginning. One of the greatest tragedies of our days is the many marriages that end up in divorce. Divorce is always tragic and traumatic. The breakdown of the family unit is one of the greatest calamities of our society faces today. The partners go through untold agonies, not to talk of the shattered lives of children, who go though turmoil and devastation. God views husbands and wives as having been bound together in a permanent marriage relationship, and nothing should be allowed to put them asunder.Probably, you are reading this column and you have been considering divorce, according to you, because there is no way out. Hold it! Who knows, this might be the reason God gave you the opportunity of reading this column. If only you accept to follow God’s master plan concerning your family and your marriage, your story will change for the better.

Now, let me make it clear at this point that God is a God of a second chance. If you have gone through divorce, do not live life with a sense of condemnation. Straighten things out with God and with men. Make sure that your present marital status is such that will not rob you of eternity with God. With this, you are set to make the most of life.



With this understanding of God’s plan, get set to begin constructing a successful family life, free from failure, pressure, shame and unproductivity.

However, for you to enjoy family life and your marriage according to the design of the Almighty God, then you have to accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. By so doing, you confess your sins to Him and tell you will not go back to them again. Are you ready to give Him your life? If you are ready please say this prayer with me:

Dear Lord, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Now I know I am born again!
