Preachables Tanzania:
God
makes a difference in marriage
After
two Tanzanian Baptist leaders taught and trained regarding
Christian marriage, 16 families made some radical changes
in the choices they will make in their marriages. Rejoice
in the difference God’s Word shared with God’s
people can make.
One
couple agreed to eat together at meal times. In some Tanzanian
cultures, the wife never eats with her husband. The commitment
to honor each other by spending this time together will change
their lives and radiate Christ to their world.
Another
couple told of the problems they were having as a couple but
through the teaching realized that it was a result of selfishness
on each of their parts.
One
man repented to his wife and the church admitting a fault
that the church had brought to his attention. He said that
he wanted to deny it but God gave him the ability to agree
with God that what he was doing was sin.
Three
families agreed to share their commitment to one another in
front of their church families.
Men
and women agreed to be open with their finances and agree
that money was not just the property of one spouse but of
the home and together they would decide how to use it.
All
agreed to make prayer and Bible study a family thing.
Praise the Lord for the changes He makes in marriages, in
homes and in the world.
