Every marriage enters a moment when the warmth
of the house becomes fire, not fire that destroys
but fire that reveals. Some lessons cannot be
learned in prayer. Some maturity cannot be gained
in peace. Some character cannot grow without
pressure. And I remember the day the heat found
me. It was our first real fight. I was angry,
frustrated, overwhelmed. And in that moment of
heat, I did something I never imagined I would
do. I threw my wedding ring. It hit the floor.
And I screamed. You lied to me. Not from hatred,
but from hurt. That day, The house wasn't warm.
It was hot, uncomfortable, confrontational, exposing.
And God allowed it, not to break us, but to build
something in us. In moments like this, God does
something beautiful. He sends mentors. Our pastoral
Godfather couple stepped in, not to take sides,
not to shame us, but to guide us. They sat with
us. They listened. They diffused the fire in
the room, but not the lesson God wanted us to
learn. They showed us how to communicate without
attacking, how to listen without defending, how
to love without conditions, how to fight for
each other, not against each other. Their presence
was a reminder. Mentorship is God's way of guiding
you through the heat when your emotions can no
longer guide you. See, God doesn't only seal
the door. He also sends teachers of wisdom into
the house. Moses had Jethro. Joshua had Moses.
Elisha had Elijah. Timothy had Paul. Ruth had
Naomi. And I had them. Because sometimes the
Holy Spirit speaks. Not through a voice. Not
through a vision. But through people who carry
His wisdom. Mentorship. is the Holy Spirit wearing
skin. The heat wasn't he trying to destroy us.
It was trying to transform us. And mentorship
wasn't a sign of weakness. It was a sign of God's
mercy. The same room where I threw my ring is
the same room where God taught us how to love.
The same heat that exposed us is the same heat
that shaped us. And the same mentors who guided
us became a permanent part of our spiritual family.
Because in the kingdom, You don't grow alone.
You don't heal alone. You don't mature alone.
God surrounds you with voices of wisdom to make
sure you don't run out of the house when the
heat rises. This is Pomoja Podcast, where God
