The enemy's greatest target, marriage. Welcome
to Pomoja Podcast, a ministry of Live of Christ
International. Pomoja means together, and that's
what this space is all about. Walking together
in faith, growing together through the Word,
and living the life of Christ in our homes, our
marriages, and our daily lives. I'm your host,
Barry Mwamba, and in this first season, we're
talking about something the enemy fears the most,
marriage. My wife and I have been married for
18 years, and before that, we dated for five.
We're both Christians, born again and filled
with the Holy Spirit. Today, by God's grace,
we have a beautiful family, a deep friendship,
and a love that continues to grow. But getting
here wasn't easy. We walked through storms, real
storms, moments we weren't sure we'd make it.
There were nights we thought love was gone, times
we ignored each other's hearts, separated bills,
called lawyers, and even started planning to
live apart. We believed we had lost our first
love, but God, in his mercy, stepped in. He reminded
us who joined us together in the first place.
He showed us that marriage isn't built on emotion,
or understanding, or intelligence, it's built
on him. I chose to begin this series with marriage
because I've learned something powerful. The
devil's biggest mission is to destroy marriage.
Because when marriage falls, the church weakens
and society follows. He knows that strong marriages
build strong families, and strong families build
strong communities. So he attacks the foundation,
the covenant God designed to reflect his love.
But through the years, I've learned that a lasting
marriage isn't built on beauty, intelligence,
or even emotion. It stands on God and on two
hearts that refuse to let go of Him or of each
other. When storms come, when understanding fails,
when love feels tested, remember, your strength
is not in what you know. but in who holds you
together. Your only true support is God and your
spouse, your partner in the covenant of grace.
That's how marriages endure. That's how families
thrive. That's how the church stays strong. If
the enemy attacks what God built, then we must
defend it with prayer, grace, and love. Your
marriage is not just about happiness. It's about
holiness. Pray together. Forgive quickly. Stand
united when it's hardest to stand at all. Because
when your home is strong, your faith stands firm.
That's how marriages endure. That's how families
thrive. That's how the church stays strong. Thank
