Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
After discovering the root cause of my wife's health challenges during the first pregnancy, I dealt with it practically by giving out all the DVD's of those action films. I thank God for doctors, but the drugs they recommended did just a little but it didn't solve the problem. The solution came as a result of discovering the root cause of her ailment and dealing with it using God's wisdom. Till date, she has a perfect health in that regard. What if I didn't ask her what she felt was the trigger? What if I kept watching those suspense filled action films?
A marriage of few years ran into serious crisis, love practically flew out of the window. The home was hot like an oven. It was discovered that the in-laws who were living with them were the ones fanning the flames of discord. After that discovery was made, the in-laws were resettled in another place with wisdom not with fight and rudeness. After that practical action was taken, peace was restored. That was what saved the marriage. If you want to resolve crisis, practical steps must be taken. Immediately you discover the trigger of crisis, you need to do away with that thing if possible. In some cases, what you need maybe habit and behavioural adjustment. I discovered that the things causing marital challenges in most homes are things that require positive practical action. The two involved in the crisis must be ready to compromise, adapt and adjust.
I know a woman whose husband battered her because she was fond of leaving the home to gossip with women on the street. The man told me he hate seeing his wife in the company of irresponsible women. I told the man that he was wrong to have battered his wife though his concerns were legitimate. The wife refused to change. Later, they separated. Until the two parties involved are ready to deal with the root of the crisis, the crisis may linger even if they fast and pray. You must be sincere about the cause of your challenges and be ready to take actions that may not be convenient but rewarding. It is not only in marriage that people face crisis, in our day-to-day relationship with people, we need to master the art of crisis resolution and management. Abraham was wise to have separated from Lot after several issues between their herdsmen.Herdsmen crisis didn't start today. We never heard of any of such crisis between them after that separation. That's a practical way to deal with certain crisis. Don't forget that in all of this, prayer must be constant.
Father, I receive the grace and wisdom to deal with the root cause of crisis in my life, marriage, ministry and business In Jesus name. Amen
