Hello everyone,
I have published new page on Same-sex Marriage. God wants us to cry aloud as Satan is leading many people on the Broadway to destruction.
Let us come together and address this issue from God’s viewpoint.

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE or https://upliftingchrist.wordpress.com/same-sex-marriage/
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh. (Genesis 2:24, KJV)
I believe there are two ways of viewing things around us. The first one is God’s way, and the second is the devil’s way. God’s way is always the best but the enemy wants man to believe that God doesn’t know it all, or He (God) is denying man the pleasures of life. This has led to the constant battle within man. God wants man to enjoy life at every stage life. He set time for man to be born, time to go to school, time to meet the right partner (wife/husband), time for sex, time to have kids, etc. Once a person understands and lives by God’s principles, life becomes easy for that person. However, the enemy doesn’t want the best for us. He rebelled against God and wants man to go against God in every way. This is why we see men sleeping with men, women with women, unmarried people sleeping with each other, adultery, abortion rate on the rise, etc.
The definition of marriage according to the scripture is a union between a man and a woman. It requires a man to leave his father and mother, and cleave unto his wife. Then the two shall be one flesh. Notice the bible didn’t say it is a union between any two persons. If the bible had said that, then it wouldn’t be wrong for a woman to marry another woman, or a man to marry another man. The Bible clearly stated that this union should be between a man and a woman. This was how God intended marriage to be. Thus, everything is wrong when a man marries or sleeps with another man, and everything is wrong when a woman marries or has a relationship with another woman.
Same sex marriage is an abomination in the sight of God because it is Satan’s version of God’s plan about marriage.
Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin. (Leviticus 18:22, NLT)
What Satan hopes to achieve
Satan rebelled against God so he wants man to do things that will hurt his Creator. Think about this for a moment; How do you feel when your child goes against your standards which you believe are the best for him/her?
Recently I read about how Deeper life Church has suspended the son of the General Superintendent for going against the beliefs of the Church regarding dressing. This is exactly how God feels when man defies His commands. The enemy knows this so he tries to make us go against what God had said.
“And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31, KJV)
God saw that everything he had done was very good for man but Satan wants man to believe that he (man) can do more in his own ways. This reminds me of what one lecturer said in class that there are 99 ways to Hell but 1 way to Heaven. In other words, you can do whatever you think or feel is right for you but in the end only one, which is what God wants you to do, will take you to Heaven.
Satan disobeyed God, and he knows his destination is the lake of fire. He is also aware that the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience. Therefore he is trying as much as he could to let more people disobey God so that they would join him in the lake of fire.
What the church must do
This is spiritual battle and the weapon we have as people of God is prayer. We can’t stop same-sex marriage but we can pray for people who are caught in that trap. The church must pray for the Holy Spirit to use whichever means possible to bring them back to God. The enemy started with abortion, and now same-sex marriage. He has taken over the media to promote things of the flesh, and I believe he is going to more in the coming days, months, and years. Friend, we must pray earnestly for the church, and the lost souls. God will help us in Jesus’ Name. Amen
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. (2 Corinthians 4:10, NIV)
Hello everyone,
If you have watched the news in the past 2-3 months, I believe you have heard a lot about Gay marriages, and how people are protesting against that. The church has got a role to play; to stand against same-sex marriage, and pray for people who are homosexuals. Am amazed sometimes at how the church handles such issues, even to the extent of condemning such people. Jesus was against adultery but he didn’t condemn the woman who was caught in the act of adultery. (John 8:1-11)
Christians must stand against the same-sex marriage but we must care for those who are held captives in the act.
I am against homosexual behavior but I am not against those who commit such act. I care for them and pray that they repent and come to Christ. They are on the highway to hell. 1 Corinthians 6:9 says that those who practice homosexual will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Friend, I want us to see this issue from the other side. Normally the church condemns homosexuals and sometimes ignores them which I believe is wrong. We should care for them the same way we would do for thieves, liars, prostitutes, drug addicts, etc. God is against same-sex marriage but He cares for homosexuals. He still caters for them because he wants them to come to repentance.
“This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:3, 4 NLT)
“The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” (2 Peter 3:9 NLT)
Therefore, instead of writing them off, I believe there is a better thing the church can do for them; PRAY. Jesus said “I also tell you this: if two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.” (Matthew 18:19 NLT) When the church prayed for Peter in Acts 12, God sent an angel to rescue him from prison.
Gays are prodigal sons (like the guy in Luke 15:11-32). God is waiting for them to come back to him so let us pray for them. God didn’t create any person to be Gay. The enemy is behind same-sex marriage.
I pray that we come together and pray for those who see nothing wrong with men sleeping with men. Each time you go to the Lord in prayer, pray for the salvation of homosexuals, especially for the ones you know. Our prayers can do the work. Prayer works.
