NATIVE HABITS IN MARRIAGES | TABIA YA ASILI KATIKA NDOA 

Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. #Genesis12:1-3 [kjv]
#ReLive the marriage solemnization between Sidi and Joshua where Pastor/Mzee RAYMOND ZIA exhorted the church about traditions and customs, especially in relation to marriage, that were of major concern and keen interest by our Founding father Missionary/Mzee ELISHA I. CHITAYI because of the many rituals and manner of conduct that were supposed to be followed contrary to God's word. For marriage to have the manifestation and visitation of God, one has to "get out of his/her country, kindreth, and father's house" to receive God's blessings and be made a great nation. In many communities, husbands and wives are not subject to God's decree of #1Peter3:1-7 which is the cause of strife and lack of peace in many marriages.
Are you one with the natural man that receives not the things of the Spirit of God (#1Corinthians2:14-)? If so, the things of the spirit of God shall be foolishness, and neither will they be known to you, because they are spiritually discerned. Shed away the native habits in your life today and allow God to work in your life and/or marriage henceforth. Amen.
