THE ROLE OF MARRIAGE
God instituted the family and performed the first wedding
ceremony in the Garden of Eden. This marriage relationship
is the cornerstone of every family. That is why satan regards
marriage and the home as his greatest battle ground. He
knows that the easiest way to destroy churches and society
is through the home. This is why he attacks marriages and
attempts to weaken and tear the family unit apart. It is
our duty therefore as Christians, to be diligent in standing
against his intrusions (1 Pet 5:8).
Marriage is not for the immature. You have to be ready and
be selfless. A good marriage does not just happen, you have
to work on it, it must be built. It takes wisdom to have a good
family and it takes understanding to make it strong (Prov
24.3) NCV
RULES FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE
• Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.
• If you feel you must criticize do it lovingly.
• If you have a choice between making yourself or your
mate look good, choose your mate.
• Never bring up a mistake of the past.
• Neglect the whole world rather than neglecting each
other.
• Never let the day end without saying one complimentary
thing to your partner.
• Don’t lie to your spouse because you think that is what
they want to hear.
• Be polite one to another.
• Wear your wedding ring if you are married.
• Date your spouse at least once a week.
• Laugh together.
• Listen to one another.
• Show respect and try to look your best.
• Seek help when needed.
RESTORATION
What the devil has taken can be restored. If the enemy has
come in, he can be driven out. If children have been lost, they
can be prayed back into the Kingdom of God. God will put
things back together again. Acknowledge that your family
and your marriage are priority. Make God your priority and
let Him do the building.

God, knowing that we are ambassadors for Christ and KICC,
personal contentment and fulfilment and serving God’s purpose
in our generation. NAFB stewards serve intentionally, lovingly,
respectfully, with a heart of gratitude and with excellence and
great grace. It is humbling and fulfilling to be a part of the NAFB
team, we are a family.” “Renowned author Malcolm Gladwell has
an idea that it takes at least 10,000 hours of practice, plus talent, to
achieve mastery a particular skill. The stewards who serve in this
department, build up our own 10,000 hours of practice through
several activities including community engagement with local
and national agencies, producing monthly, quarterly and annual
reports, interview skills (face-face & telephone), team building,
project management, logistics efforts and so much more.
