WAR ROOM

A beautiful movie showing us the love of God and His ever standing faithfulness to His children.

Elizabeth and Tony Jordan were two  successful people who were religious but hadn't known what it was like for God to minister unto them. They had a big house, nice jobs, with Tony as a pharmaceutical salesman and Elizabeth as a realtor. They  had a daughter called Danielle. Despite the wealthy lifestyle, Tony was cold towards his family. He refused to give money to his wife's sister and was verbally abusive towards her. He treated Danielle no less than a property gotten from one  of his illegal deals.


Mrs Clara, an elderly woman needed to sell her house and Elizabeth was acquainted with her to make the sale. Mrs Clara was a beautiful, religious woman who was defined by her past life laced with bitterness and selfish pride that was developed by the distance her husband created being a military man. She endured many years of lack of attention, care and disagreements over her husband's choices. Her husband, Ted, died without resolving his differences with Mrs Clara.
This made her desolate with grief, angry giving her a chance to reach out to God.
Elizabeth enjoyed being with Mrs Clara, till one day Mrs Clara wanted Elizabeth going on her knees and praying like the warrior she knew she was.
Elizabeth confessed to loving God in a lukewarm manner and told her of the difficulties she faced with her marriage and how hurt she was with Tony.
Mrs Clara gave her the war room strategy. Elizabeth took this advice unwholeheartedly.
After seeing that her marriage was not changing, it had detoriated with proof of Tony in a cheating scandal, she came clean. 

She cleared out her wardrobe, leaving just a chair and a Bible. She prayed seriously and cast out the devil from destroying her home.
As she prayed, Tony stopped the affair with the other woman and lost his job.
He had given up. He was like a raving animal waiting for his wife to say something sarcastic and for him to vent his frustration out on her.
But she didn't. She only cooked his meal, spoke with him calmly and prayed harder.
No! No! Tony wasn't buying into it. He switched the meal she cooked and hardly understood her new behavior. 

Tony had some drugs he kept illegally to sell. He had no idea what he wanted to do with the drugs. He was confused. He stumbled on his wife's praying room, read all her heartfelt prayers to God for him and broke down in tears.

For the first time he  spoke to his wife in a nonviolent way asking her for forgiveness. She forgave him. He decided to turn himself in to  the company and await judgment.
Miraculously, the company didn't sue him. God's grace never left him or his family. He decided to  change for the better. He treated his wife lovingly and cared for his daughter Danielle. Tony and Elizabeth were blessed and saved by God's grace.
They continued and never departed the war room.

Moral : war room is a great movie showing us the power of God's word and that without God, nothing is possible. God can forgive us our sins, He will never hold anything against us. If just we approach Him and begin happiness in prayer.

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...

LOVE IS OVERRATED

We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...

RAPE, ITS JUSTIFICATION AND VICTIM SHAMING

It's sad that this is a world where things are not perfect but isn't that why we have laws; to correct the ills in society? I read today on a blog about a filmmaker who said that "nonviolent rape" should be legalized and that the reason rapists were raping girls was because they were sexually frustrated and that girls should accept it and even prepare themselves for it by carrying condoms and cooperating with their rapists. In fact it is clear that civilization is beyond running water and having flushable toilets, a lot of minds are still in a dark place. Before you join the number of people condemning him, think of how you shame victims of rape by suggesting that somehow they did something to provoke the animal instinct in the rapist. The dust hasn't settled yet on the case of Busola Dakolo and Biodun Fatoyinbo where an Abuja high court struck out the case and called an abuse of court processes and said it was statue barred. They were irregularities as cited by ...
