Nigeria is sick right now, the world is sick right now. The rate at which marriages are dying away is heartbreaking. Also, many of the children born into the country, and the world today are rather seen as liabilities than assets. Families are not together because husbands and wives have separated. We as a country are facing a grave danger but we seem not to know this.
While this allusion may be both objective and subjective, the fact remains that the market place for finding husbands is tough now than ever before. But, Centre for Marital Affairs (CMA) is concerned about why faith-based organizations, particularly churches seems not to deal with the real substance of the matter. Many churches today, unfortunately, are playing to the gallery. They are not teaching their members the obvious and definite realities that today have brought to bear on both young ladies and guys.
Marriage is not for boys, neither is it for little girls. Marriage is not a type of undertaking one can just wake up and jump into it. It requires a great deal of mind and mental training, refocusing with purposeful mission. Intensive effort and commitment is required for two people to get together to become husband and wife, essentially for the production of children for family, community, and the larger society. The hope, strength, and future of any nation lies in the family. A lady who is hoping to become a wife and a guy who is also hoping to become a husband with anticipation to be a father or mother definitely require a very strong preparation and mentorship. Whoever bakes a lady to become a good wife or a guy to become a good husband is truly a builder of nation.
It is with this in mind that Centre for Marital Affairs (CMA) is highly commending the House of God Fellowship Church (HGF). When CMA came across HGF it noted with gladness their self imposed tag which is “The righteous living church”. Curious! They must have something to offer in this age and time when majority of churches could hardly place their focus on “Righteous living” for fear of losing members, let alone “where people could worship God with peace of mind”. Definitely, HGF is a place to focus eyes on.
True to their claim, HGF church is super. There is no nonsense there. It is totally the truth of the bible you hear; prosperity messages are not a regular type, God flog and kill my enemies messages are not a regular type – every message is holistic. I think this is the kind of church Nigeria and indeed Africa need right now in order to repair the minds of millions of people that has been misled, perversed and damaged by the sermonic messages of getting it made without much struggle, and anyone that is against me should go off life etc. Very honestly speaking, churches seem to have misled so many couples who today are facing severe marital disharmony.
HGF which is located at No 3, Henry Udofia close, Newtown Estate, Ogombo Town, an axis of Ajah, Lagos, Mobile: 08050880359, Email: hgf@hgflivingchurch.com, Website: www.hgflivingchurch.com, is worth recommending to any truth seeking, mature- mind seeking person. It is indeed a place one can go for preparation to get married. A place where marital emphasis is on duties, responsibilities, obligations and privileges in marriage are thoroughly expounded, including types of relationship and moral charter that should exist between husband and wife to keep love alive.
I am happy with the head of the church in the person of Prof. Chris Onalo, who also doubles as Chief - Marital Affairs Officer of the church. He is an academic professor; no wonder therefore the church is standing on a very high moral and spiritual principles. His kinds are not many.
The purpose of this writeup is to drive genuine traffic to that church. The traffic of ladies who potentially are really and truly looking to become a good future wife, as well as young men who really and truly want to be prepared to become a responsible husband. As an NGO organization, CMA is committed to finding such a place for serious minded ladies and young men around town.
I trust Prof. Chris Onalo will prepare you to be completely at peace with your life and be on your way, confidently ready to discover your would-be husband or wife that will soon come. For the good of our community and nation, what every family need is a husband who will not break his wife’s heart; the husband who will not abandon his wife; a husband who will not brutalize his wife, a husband who will not insult and abuse his wife’s parents. Similarly, the wives that young men are looking to have are those character – beautiful ladies with perfect submission; they are not looking for a quarrelsome and contentious ladies; they are in search of ladies who will do them good.
I like to conclude by saying; distance cannot be a barrier to where good things are, go to House of God Fellowship (HGF) now – it makes sense!
