My name is Ebele Onwuachu. Originally from Nigeria, I am married to a very supportive husband, who upholds me in prayer. I am also a mother of two handsome sons, Munachimsoaga, which means (I am walking with my God) I call him my blessing and Chidubem [ May God lead me].

Giving my life to Christ 17yrs ago is the best thing that ever happened to me. Accepting Christ into my life transformed me completely and for the better. I believe it is ignorance and the devil that keep people from accepting God into their lives..

Since I  gave my life to Christ, I  have continued to be and feel alive, truly feel alive and striving by the grace of God to live a life worthy of Christ ambassador. Above all, being impacted by the love of Christ, each day inspires me to work harder to serve the Lord and share his love with any and every one who will listen. As he told us in

 Matthew 28:18-20 that we should go into the world and make disciples of all people regardless of color, race, or religion. I have a passion to see people give their life to Christ. My expirence and the  freedom I have in Christ/ the feeling of fullfilment as a new creature  spurs me to love others with the love of Christ.          

I try by his grace to hold on unswervingly to the hope I have profess , for Our God is faithful.

  Women Conference November 19^Th, 2011.

Theme: Can a mother forget the baby  at her Breast? Isaiah 49:15.

Theme: “Can a mother Forget the Baby at her Breast” Isaiah 49:15

The image of a child sucking breast immediately comes to your mind...

This is an image that brings to mind an intimate connection/relationship, one that is bond by blood. From time a child is conceived to the time the child is born, the mother and fetus begin to share a unique relationship. The mother does everything possible to nurture, provide and protect the child. She does this by eating healthy, avoiding anything that will constitute harm to the baby, attend doctor’s appointment religiously, take her daily multivitamin  etc. till the child is born and after  that to infant, toddler, teenager, adolescent  and adult hood a real mother continues to look out for her child. Isn’t that amazing? In most cases it is a natural craving for a mother to automatically want to breast feed her baby. And the child has a natural instinct to suckling motion without any form or type of training. A mother holds her child or children in high esteem will sacrifice time, money, and whatever it takes to protect, nurture, cloth, train and bring up child to an adult. It is obvious that the role of motherhood never ends.

The above picture of mother /child relationship brings me to the theme for this conference “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast”, the book of Isaiah chapter 49, shows God’s constant reassurance to the Israelite that he will never forget nor forsake them; In verse 8-13 “The Lord said In the time of my favor I will answer you, In the day of salvation I will help you. Verse 11 I will turn all my mountains into roads and my highways will be raised up. However the Israelite in verse 14 says “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me. This sounds like some people in this generation where people are going through terrible times, financial hardship, loss of job, marriage turmoil, natural deserter, loss of love ones etc. It becomes so unbearable that you might hear some say God has forgotten me, and some might be term to ask that question “WHY ME”? Or “Is their God?”             

 “Why me?” God says if our earthly parents who are evil know how to give good gifts how much more about HIM WHO CREATED US IN HIS OWN IMAGE. Psalm 145: 9 “The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made”. He does not visit us in accordance with our sin nor righteousness which is a filthy rag before him; yet The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. He is faithful to all his promises.

This is seen especially in the Israelites, who experienced great adversity and thus felt abandoned and forgotten. The reverse is the case because no matter what we go through, The Most High God our Father in heaven will never ever forget us. As a mother you know how much love, compassion you have toward your own, so also God’s love far exceed the love of a mother. We have heard of instances where a mother killed her child or exhibit  act of wickedness toward her child, this is never the case with God, His love for us is greater than the natural affection of a loving mother, it is therefore unthinkable that God will even forget us especially in our time of grieve and despair.

Can a mother forget the baby at her breast? The Lord said inverse 15 of chapter 49 that though a mother may term to forget you, He said that he has engraved you in the palms of his hands; your walls are ever before me. He knows you by name, what you are going through, (Matthew 7:7-11) if our earthly parents who are evil know how to give good gifts, how much more will our father in heaven who created us in his own image. The only thing that God forgets about us is our sin Luke 5:20-25, he not only forgives our sin but forgets it, wipes it clean. Human nature “I have forgiven you but will not forget”.  

God protects his own aggressively, he said I have engraved you in the palm of my hands, he said that no one nothing can snatch away those that God has given to him, He said touch not my anointed and do my own no harm. He has assured us that those that serve him will never be put to shame. He said that if a thief comes to a house he will first of all bound the owner to get to the property, God is greater above the devil himself talk more of the wishes or spiritual wickedness in the high places. However as citizens of the most high God you must know your rights, you must know who you serve and believe in.      

The problem is not God forgetting us because he is not a shifting shadow, the problem is with you and I, and how much relationship do we have with God (Matthew 16:13 – 19). How many times do we go to him with a sincere heart? Do we just go to him only when we have problems and as soon as that problem is solved we wave him bye bye see you next time when I have a problem(Psalm 103:2, Proverbs 3:1,4:5)?  Who wants to have a child that will treat him like that? I believe no one. This is the reason why God send down his son Jesus Christ to come down in human likeness to relate and identify with us, to make it easier for us to relate with him, he wanted us to know that he formed us in our mother’s womb, he know exactly what we go through at ALL TIME, be it   financial difficulty, marriage issues, childlessness, lack of job, denial of promotion etc. He knows it all. Psalm 145:18-19 “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him, he hears their cry and saves them, and he was crucified for our sake LK 24: 20,

Jn 19: 16. John 3:16 states “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”. 

Rights: some of us do not know our rights and it is said that ignorant of the law is not an excuse.

We have been given the word of God to guide us and lead us through this earthly journey, how we use the word (Bible) is entirely left to each individual, First of all, you have to believe, seek, embrace, and  commune with him. Let him into your heart. He already has made his Son available to us and for any who believe and accept him as Lord and Savior, he will give the Holy Spirit to constantly guide and lead. However like coming to America, If you migrated  to this great Country, it is for a purpose MOSTLY FOR A BETTER LIFE, however, if you don’t get your priority right , and you don’t stay focus you will find yourself running from pillar to post, CHASING AFTER WIND. Because sooner than you know it you will spend 5, 10, 15, 20 etc. and you have not found your bearing. You would be as good as being back home where you come from. As also as a Christian, if you don’t have a personal relationship with God, you don’t read his words for yourself you don’t spend time on your knees seeking him, you have divided attention?  You depend on only what you hear from the Pastor; from others except from the source then you are in big trouble. Why on the last times many wolf in sheep clothing will claim that they are god. And then you would have spent 5, 10, 15, and 20years “chasing after the WIND BEING A CHRISTIAN” Then you are in trouble. Thank God because He has promised that he will sustain us according to his promise and as long as we hope in him with all our heart, our hope in him will never be dashed.

Hearing the word of God is not enough, we need to let his words come a life in us, be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. You have to seek God out yourself; you have to know him, believe in him, and trust in him Psalm 146: 3-9 “Do not put your trust in princes in mortal men, who cannot save. Instead we should put our trust in the Lord, who remains faithful forever.  He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. He alone makes a way where there is no way (Isaiah 54:10   though the mountains be shaken, and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed says the Lord, who has compassion on you.  Let us learn to seek our Lord’s face with all our heart (Psalm 119: 58), that he might be gracious unto us in accordance to his promise. 

The Lord said in Isaiah 49:23 “Those who hope in me will not be disappointed.

EXAMPLES

The Blind Beggar received his sight because he reached out to Jesus. He did not submit to intimidation or discouragement from people around him.

“He called out, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

Woman subject to bleeding for twelve years, she came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak and immediately her bleeding stopped. 

The story of Martha and Mary… Martha complained that she was doing the whole work while Mary just sat with the lord.

Luke 10:41 the Lord answered “Martha, you are worried and upset about many things but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken from her.

It is always in our imagination    that God has   forgotten us but the reverse is the case He WILL NEVER LEAVE, FORGET NOR FORSAKE US US.

When the devil attacks the CORE OF YOUR BELIEVE

YOU STEP OUT IN FAITH

STEPPING OUT IN FAITH

The worst betrayal is from a loved one; close friend and trusted neighbor. When you get betrayed from such individuals, you get shocked beyond words.   In some cases you cannot comprehend what is happening or what has just happened, simply because the betrayal is coming from a supposedly royal family member or close friend. Things you don’t ever expect from people that you care and love, when it happens, it comes as a shock and as a slap like some people will say and that makes it worst. When people you trust stab you at the back it forms a wound deeper than an injury from an ordinary accident it is like you have been ran over and out and into the grave. Such people are term worse than an enemy. You imagine sleeping with an enemy, eating with an enemy, May the good Lord forbid evil in Jesus Name.

When it becomes obvious what the devil plan is, you should waste no time in drawing a thick line between you and the devil for it is said that there is nothing in common with darkness and light. You cannot entrust your love and life to a loved one and they simply rubbed it in mud, spat right into your face and say they are sorry. For such enemy only God can make a difference in the person’s   life. Run as far as you can from such criminals. For they have a heart as callous as the devil and will do it again and again except the Good Lord intervenes.

When you find out that you have been betrayed, first of all you have to give yourself time to understand what happened, ask yourself questions, and see where you have gone wrong. Allow yourself time to take in what has happened. Naturally Family and other friends will be as shocked as you are when they find out what has happened to you and naturally will like to know what they can do to support or make the burden light. In some cases you might not be ready to talk about the betrayal however, remember that you cannot short the whole world out. Of cause you might be very fragile at the time and your emotions might be running wild so you need good listening ears to talk things over and may be a shoulder to lean or cry on( Again it is normal) so don’t hold back or hate the entire world for what is going on.

 As a Christian you have to remember that at time like this, God is watching and he has said to come unto him, all who are heavily burden and he will give  rest/peace. So this means you have a strong tower in which you can run to and will be safe. He is the only True Shield, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, the one who loves you more then you loves yourself and the only one who always will never let you down nor forsake you. Others might attempt to help but all help they render is only for a time, Jesus Christ, is the only one who offers the right help, the right time and not only that He alone will make sure that he creates a permanent way of escape for you, he will not stop there, He will place you on a height where you can never be touched or hurt by such individuals again. Halaluhia.

This calls for complete believe trust and faith. What does faith say, Faith believes in those things that are not as if they are. In  Matthew 21:21-22 “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer”.           

      Allow family friends time to support you, cry on a reliable shoulder if you must, then get yourself together and take it to him in prayers. Realistically looking at what options you have depending on what you are going through. Initially you might not know what to pray about and that is okay (Ro 8:26).

You need space to get on your knees without distractions to go to God in prayers for yourself and the other party (2 Chronicles 7:14 “if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land). And  as Matthew 5:44  says love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. It might be difficult to do the right thing in the face of unjust persecution but we must strive to do the right thing according to the word of God (TO PRAY FOR THOSE THAT PERSCUTE YOU). As you continue to draw strength from God, you are encouraged in 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18 “Rejoice even more, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks to God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

I believe that I am bought by the Blood, Shield with the Blood under the Eagles wing, I will fly and not grow weary, the devil will come at me from one way but will flee from millions HALALUYA. The Joy of the Lord is my strength. I say I will forever boast in the name of the Lord. When the enemy wants to destroy me, he forgets that I have been bought with the precious Blood which speaks better than Abels blood and for the devil to get at me he has to first  go through our Heavenly Father to get at me and helloooooooooooooo that is an impossible task. For the Lord told me that he knows the plan he has for me plans to prosper me. He said to me that know ears have heard or eyes seen that treasure which he has in stock for me. I am in deed bouncing in the Lord. He promised me that his love for me is as High as the Sky is from the earth hellooooooooooooooooooo who can imagine the love of the Father for me. Indeed he is a covenant keeping God; he is no man that he will lie.

I have an insurance that never will ran out, bought without money only with the

 Repentance of my soul and the precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Romans 1:17 (the righteous will live by faith). I live by faith day after day rejoicing in the Lord.

The devil has come to steal and to destroy but I dear the Devil, I know I am serving a Living God and I stand in his confidence on the ROCK of AGES to laugh and say I am victorious even before the battle started , for the Lord has promised me that the battle is his. When HE is with me who can be against me? Nothing can separate me from the love of the Father. Neither trials nor whatever.

The devil has come to destroy my marriage and I laugh at the devil because long before he attacked I laid the Marriage on the CROSS OF CAVALRY.  And God will perfect my marriage in accordance with his will and I am going to get nothing less from God’s  will , for he has said that that which He has put together no man should put asunder. As I wait on the Lord to have his way in my marriage, I rejoice every day knowing that HE that has my future in his hands is able to bring me to expected end.

 My marriage is for better for worst and there is nothing the devil or anyone can do about it, it is not yet over till our Lord says it’s over. I stand upon his promises and claim my victory. One thing is sure HIS WILL; will be done. WEEPING MIGHT LAST FOR THE NIGHT BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.  As a great believer and woman of God who strongly supports marriage, devil like to think he will stop me or draw me back but that is a lie from pit of hell. I love marriage; love that institution with a passion. Will always support it.

As I go through this trial period, I do so with joy knowing that

 HE IS IN CONTROL AND FOR EVER WILL HAVE HIS WAY.  

I encourage all women or any one going through difficult times to hang in there, be on your knees and God is able to bring you to expected end.

PATTYPRINCESUNSHIE 7/5/2011

In Him I have life, in him I am secured.

In Him I have life, in him I am secured,

My fears melt away at the thought of his name

My heart finds instant peace at the mix of turmoil

When the enemy believes he has bar me in behind an iron rod

My Jesus with a breath of freedom lets me free

When my Jesus is my shield

In vain the enemy plots my downfall

His Promise to me stands for ever

To prosper me; to bring me to expected end

My Jesus My Lord My Savior

In you alone I trust

Let the world give a bad testimony about me

Only HIS testimony stands for ever

You are no man that you will lie

My enemies stay awake planning my downfall

I lie peacefully asleep in your bosom

How mighty is my God; how reassuring his love

Walking with him over the path he has walked

Up every mountain; down every valley I walk along with God.

The day I stop serving God is the day I die

That day will never come

For even when I die then my life will begin

Fully in his presence for everlasting bliss of songs of joy

PATTYPRINCESUNSHIE 7-26-2011

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE ....

Remember in the mist of the turmoil He is your strength

In the process of tears rolling down your cheeks; He is your hope

In the time of asking questions why why? Why? Why? He knows the plan he has for you

When asking when it is going to be over; remember not till He fully refines you as pure as gold

When you think of abandoning the path; remember no better path like the path he has walked

When you think of throwing in the towel; remember there is light at the end of the tunnel

Remember if you must cry; let it out on his shoulder; he is able to give you peace

When weakness wants to take over; remember the Lord is your strength

Remember you are not the first neither will you be the last

Remember He was crucified for sharing his love

Remember He died for giving himself

Remember He lives forever

Remember because He lives you can face tomorrow.

MARCH 2011

I LOVE PSALM 103, PLEASE SHARE IN IT AND PASS IT ON.

Psalms 103

103:1-2 Praise the Lord O my soul

This psalm expresses thanksgiving and praise to the Lord for the benefits and blessings that he bestows on the believing covenant people. We must never forget Gods goodness to us

(Dt 8:12-14;2Ch 32:25) or fail to be thankful for his blessings showered on us through the Holy Spirit {Act 2:38-39;9:17-18;}.

103:3-16 FORGIVES.............. HEALS The fall of Adam into sin led the human race into the universal experience of sin, sickness and death. In contras, the psalmist lists God's blessings for his people:forgiveness of our sins, healing for our diseases, and the gifts of redemption and eternal life,Forgiveness is the first and most important gift we can receive from God. Through it we are restored to God and redeemed from destruction. Healing of diseases that come to us because of sin and Satan is likewise part of the salvation that God makes available to his people (Jas 5:15-16).

Psalm 103:13 COMPASSION ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.

God shows mercy to those who truly fear him . The fear of God is a redeeming fear that motivates us to turn away from evil, to keep God's precepts, and to seek the Lord's nearness and grace. The blessings God gives to those who fear him are 1, his mercy,love and forgivness{Jer31:14},his fatherly love and compassion, his faithfulness and goodness to their children

PSALM 103:14 He knows how we are formed,God has compassion on his children because he knows their weaknesses and infirmities, Even the best of his followers stand in need of his compassion. As a father has deep compassion for his children when they fail,suffer or are mistreated, so also the heavenly Father hurts when his own are hurting. In the midst of trouble, failure and struggle, we must not think that God is aloof or uncaring; rather we must remember that his eyes look on us with compassion, and he will help us according to our need {Lk 7:12-13).

To my husband, I say thanks, my family who supported me all the way by words of encouragement and financially etc. I say thank you. And to my very good friends Brenda, Maseray, Patricia and lots of friends, I say thank you.

Serving the living God in truth and honesty, working in his will with determination and hard work will surely bring you to the end of the tunnel where there is sunshine.

Again the journey has just begun but I believe that the most high God is able to perfect that which he has started.

Retreat held in Germantown, Maryland

Date: June 27 & 28

Theme: Restoration

Friday June 27,2008.

Sistersshared intresting stories of their Evangelical work for God in the past years and how they still hunger to reach outto win souls for Christ.

Dinner at Chinese Restaurant, Feeding the body with provision from the Lord to keep body and soul together in other to be strong to doexplores for the Lord.

Friday Night after dinner, we had theword

of God on Restoration by Ebele Onwuachu.

Jeremiah 32, 33:1-3. Isaiah 55

God invites every one who is thirsty, to come to him. Thirsty is used to represent all the needs of man; Christians who needs refreshing and those who have forsaken the ways of God and his righteousness, to return back to him and be restored to fellowship and his blessing.

The needs of men also represent an essential prerequisite for salvation which is a genuine spiritual hunger and thirst for forgiven and for a right relationship with God. (Jn 4:14, 7:37).

We must repent of our sins and draw near to God. If we say we have not sin, we make God to be a lire and the truth is not in us. As a matured Christian or what ever stage we are in, in our Christianity, we must always stop, take a break, and retreat to a quite place where we can have a quite time with God, reevaluate our relationship and walk with Him. In verse 2, he urges us not to spend our labor on things that does not satisfy. We might be tempted to serve the Lord in our own ways or with human strength; we dont have to do that. W e need to stop and listen to him that our soul will delight in the richest of his fare.

We need the Lord to endow us with his splendor that we might win souls for Him and prosper his Kingdom.

We must always remember as stated in verse 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways, This tells us that we can not go about for a long period of time (without retreat) doing what we think is Gods work or think we are doing Gods will. We have to stop at some point to take a stock of our work and walk with God. In other for our minds and thoughts to be renewed and transformed, we have to seek him (Ro 12:1-2) that our thoughts and ways will begin to conform to his. That should be our greatest desire that every thing we do and how we live should conform to the will of God whom we serve. This we can achieve by abiding in his word and responding to the Holy Spirits leading Ro 8:5-14.

Often we are too busy going about our business; we spend time/ money planning vacations but find it difficult to take a day or two to retreat to a quite place to seek the face of our Lord. That should not be the case for he admonishes us by saying we should not spend money on what is not bread, nor labor on what does not satisfy.

We are encouraged to seek the Lord while he may be found and to call on him while he is near.

Sisters opportunities like retreat comes once a while, we must strife to make sacrifice time to seek the face of the Lord. He promised that what ever we do for him shall never be in vain.

We had a wonderful prayer section for ourselves, our families, friends, women, children, teenagers, mothers, fathers, church and our nation, America.

That was followed by watching a DVDtitle "The Case for Christ".

SaturdayJune 28, 2008.

Morning : Sisters had to take a walk to keep fit, healthyand a clear mind to focus on God's word and what the Lord had for them.

Digging into the word of God

Prepare your self for the super natural.

To be able to do explore in Gods name, we must posses some qualities which will be reconcile with the Spirit of God dwelling in us and working through us to accomplish the purpose for which he has called us.

These qualities include the fruit of the spirit, which is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

We must crucify with the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, we must also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:19-26.

Before we do explore for the Lord, we must know him, accept him as Lord and Savior, and keep his word. John 6:28, John 14:23-24, John 15:1-5.

We are also reminded that Christ is the vine and we are the branches. He who abides in Christ and verse verse will bear much fruit; for without Christ we can do nothing.

As Christians we are suppose todo signs and wonders for the Lord, how ever, we cant do it if there are junk in us. We have to know who we are in Christ; we have to practice through reading the word and knowing the word. We have to also hide the word of God in our heart that we might not sin against the Lord.

Sister NgoSpoke on Evangelism

Evangelism is the greatest task that God has put in our hands. Genesis 6:5-end.

Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

The Lord gave Noah the task to make an ark of cypress wood.

Which will be 450 feet long, 75feet wide and 45 feet high; and 18 inches at the top? He was also to make lower, middle and upper decks.

Some one might look at the task given to Noah as a huge and as a result will not attempt to under take the task. But not Noah, verse 22 tells us that Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

When God gives us task to do, at first we might be over whelm but we must remember that He will always equip us to accomplish his purpose.

We have to be obedient just like Noah who did everything that God commanded. We must also seek the face of God.

Some times we are held back from answering the call, because we are afraid, we might think the task is bigger than us, we might not have immediate resources to execute the job, we might be afraid of what people will say.

In all we need to just focus on God, follow his commands and be obedient to his words.

We ended the day with a powerful

anointing.

We return the glory to the Most High God who gave us the privilege to gatherand wait upon Him. My sisters do agree that it was a wonderful experience to get away from the noise and bustle of life and just be in the presence of the Most High God. We were indeed blessed. Please sisters, you owe it to yourself to gofor a retreat once in a while to be in the presence of God and just reflect on his love. And be spiritually filled.

Hebrews 12

WHAT ARE YOU STRUGGLINGAGAINST?

Is any one of you struggling against sin? Is any of you going through a hardship that seems unbearable? Is any of you suffering from the way you are treated from your husband- may be with out any respect? Is any of you going through rejection by husband, son or daughter? Is any of you going through treats of loosing your job for no true cause of your own? What are you going through?

Bring it to God. Don't think it is over because it is not over, un till God says it is over.

For what ever you are going through, know that you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. You should consider what Christ went through for you and me, from the hands of sinful men; therefore, do not grow weary and lose heart.

What ever you are going through today its only for a time; so long as you put your complete trust in God, he will surely make a way for you.

Yes no hardship or suffering seems good at the time, but it is for a purpose, for those that believe, it does produce a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. "Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed".

Finally sisters let us learn not to rebel against God because of suffering and hardship, and thereby, fall away from God. We should keep in mind that under God's will, trouble may come as a result of our spiritual

warfare with Satan Eph 6:11-18.

B. As a test to strengthen our faith ,1 Pe 1:6-7 and our works Mt 7:24-27; 1 Co3:13-15.

C. As a preparation for us to comfort others 2 Co 1:3-5 and to manifest the life of Christ 2 Co 4:8-10.

In all kinds of adversity we must seek God, examine our lives 2Ch 26:5; Ps 3:4; 9:12; 34:17 and forsake all that is contrary to his holiness.

My prayers today is that God will shine his light upon every problem that seem unbearable in your life in Jesus Name. Amen

A MUST SEE FOR EVERY WOMAN

TYLER PERRY COLLECTIONS-WHY DID I GET MARRIED?

My sisters in Christ, I stumbled on a Play "Why did I get Married"? By Tyler Perry, after watching the play, I felt so excited about the message and lessons women can learn from the play. I decided to get as many women as possible to watch the play, in groups of five.This willenable us have heart to heart talk about the movie. I believe each woman can identify with something in the play.

I had the first group of women watch the movie today to mark the end of monthly house fellowshipheld in my house for the year.

Below are questions generated from the movie,if you have not watched the movie, please go ahead and answer the following questions below,before watching the movie. After watching the movie,check if your answers to the questions still remain the same. Finally do the bible study that goes along the questions.

Check back for results and interpretation of questionnaire at the end of December 2007. Feel free to e-mail your response to questionnaire, if you want to be part of women helping and supporting other women. Of cause, the results will not bear any names. We believe that this will help a lot of women to reflect into their marital life and relationships and realize that God has power of turning bad situations to good.

I encourage each woman to watch this play or movie as part of Christmas gift to themselves.You are welcome to usethis format(questionnaire /bible study material),rent theplay and watchwith friends, atthe end, you email your feed back to me.
