The African Family In The Diaspora Through Marriage(s)

June 21, 2010

As we celebrate Father’s Day; I woke up on Sunday morning as the lord administered to me on the family. Little did I know, going to sleep on Saturday night, after rejoicing with my few friends who came over to celebrate the arrival of my son, whom God has blessed me with and to whom I have dedicated his life to, that the spirit of the lord would administer to me the same night and for which I feel I should share with others.

As we celebrate Father’s Day; I woke up on Sunday morning as the lord administered to me on the family. Little did I know, going to sleep on Saturday night, after rejoicing with my few friends who came over to celebrate the arrival of my son, whom God has blessed me with and to whom I have dedicated his life to, that the spirit of the lord would administer to me the same night and for which I feel I should share with others.
I woke up asking God, why me and how do I transfer this message or communicate it to those whom the message is meant for but he who knows all simply ask that I obey and for which is the premise for this message.
First I was on the chat line with my very good friend ‘C’; I choose to use the letter to describe him rather than his name. This is how our conversation transpired.

8:28amMe
boy we survived mennnnn, i spoke with Eric, he’s in London, and married twice with 3 kids...can u believe it
8:29a C,  E that was in yola
8:29amMe yes
8:29am C

8:30amMe
he told me the ladies showed him hell
8:30amC

ladies too open eye these days
8:30amMe
i told him to be careful  ...
8:30amC

8:30amMe
Yes ohh, infact the ladies are both nija and Ibos like Eric
8:31amC
They will show u pepper, kai! , those ones their eyes don open well well
8:31amMe
They are abusing the privilege...its back firing now
8:31amC
They will capitalize on Eric’s simplicity and niceness
8:31amMe
Yes ohhhh , that’s it
8:32amC
These journeys u don't venture out without God's leadership
8:32amMe
Go ask him for friendship on FB thru my site, yes ohh, sad bro
8:33amC
K
8:33amMe
I have a friend who is going thru divorce...just finding out that the woman he’s been married to 4 15 years is a barracuda.3 children
8:34amCosta
Kai, what a deceitful age we live in
8:34amMe
Our men are dying Costa....the women are killing them here in the western world, its highly spiritual my bro. They choose the western world to take revenge on the men, most are destroyed and some die...under 50 yrs
8:35amCosta
I know, even with God's leadership, it is still tough how much more without God
8:36amMe
Of course...God is our only savior, so if u have a good one, keep her well or just don’t get married period
8:36amCosta
Bro! bro!bro
8:37amMe
It’s highly demonic....
8:37amCosta
Without God's leadership in this journey u r a goner
8:37amMe
Yes...let me tell u
8:37amCosta
Tell me
8:38amMe
The lord is warning the women...especially black women all over the world in western countries. You are destroying my foundation, i have made the man head, he’s to carry fort my family but u open the doors of my home to the devil, he comes in and destroy them, rendering the head useless and confiscating everything. My children are crying and dying of being displaced.
8:39amCosta
tell me about it
8:40amMe
I will pass judgment, if this don’t stop...my anger shall be upon you, i speak this Costa as a prophetic message, not by my strength but the lord whom i serve, the black family is being destroyed at a fast pace. The women are ignorant of the devils work.
8:41amCosta
Bro it is a tragedy
8:41amMe
Manipulation, deceit, etc. It’s like Sodom n Gomorrah. The devil is rising and its target is to destroy the men thru our women and the generation is gone. A man has no control over his wife, children and home...
8:43amCosta
Bro this is one institution the devil has attacked so badly
8:43amMe
The lord is angry...Costa. He’s warning the ladies to be careful. Women are supposed to be home makers and not destroyers. I tell u bro....
8:44amCosta
Bro, the devil has attacked this institution
8:45amMe
just 2 days ago a 52 yrs old nija man clubbed his wife to death in Florida. what would make a man do that…,he is a trained pharmacist...doing good, so many ...bro…i have the message
8:46amCosta
i know
8:46amMe
Let the ladies who have ears listen and abide to Gods message for the family….I will strip u of your right says the lord,
8:46amCosta
Amen
8:47amMe
U allow the devil into my home and destroys my foundation
Costa...
8:47amCosta
Amen
8:47amMe
i tell u....the women must change and be that woman whom the lord has called, to build his home, the devil must be put to shame...they give all excuses just to, carryout his work.....are u surprise at the way i speak...lol,…..its prophetic my brother
8:49amCosta
Bro what u r saying is the truth, Satan has entered into them to ruin homes, men are now toothless bulldogs
8:49amMe
Costa, pls fast and pray to the lord...he will show u. I went down on my knees and asked our father ...why…he told me my sons...weep not
8:50amCosta
Amen
8:50amMe
My home shall stand
8:50amCosta
Amen
8:50amMe
Let the men come to me and bring my children, wife and children to me'
8:51amCosta
What if the women will not follow the men
8:51amMe
I will destroy the devils workshop
8:51amCosta
to the Lord
8:51amMe
Then pray ceaselessly to me...I am ur God....who moves mountain. I speak this out of the abundance of my love for my sons and daughters; we must bring down the devil. So my foundation would stand and the generation continues
8:52amCosta
What if the woman refuses to follow the man to the Lord or bluntly refuses to accept the Lords way out
8:53amMe
Then just as i say that the only way a man can divorce his wife without fault is when she commits adultery, i say u must keep trying and never give up. 4 if u do, u have submitted. I am ur God..(men).....i will deliver ur family from the hands of Satan. Costa..I speak prophetically...don’t think 4 a minute that i am joking
Our father in heaven is very angry
8:55amCosta
bro i never said u were joking, …this matter is too serious to joke over
Amen
8:55amMe
His love for his sons is special
8:55amCosta
Mercy lord
8:56amMe
He brought Adam to re-procreate. Eve was used by the devil…Eve is still being manipulated by the devil
8:56amCosta
That is true bro
8:56amMe
We must fight it thru prayer
8:56amCosta
Amen
and standing firm on the word of God
8:57amMe
We need to shield our children from this decay
8:57amCosta
Bro
I have seen my friend ‘V’ almost destroyed by his wife
8:57amMe
I pray a lot of men would return to GOD. Dedicate their family to the lord. This is the only way out bro, without which, the devil would be disposed to visit
‘V’ and others need not worry
8:59amCosta
Amen
This was a Christian girl that the devil used my bro
8:59amMe
For as long as they have not maltreated the women, the lord’s judgment shall be upon them
8:59amCosta
It is a big spiritual battle
Amen
8:59amMe
It is Costa...
9:00amCosta
but as the mother of ur children u do not want harm on them, although if that is what the Lord decrees so be it
9:00amMe
I don’t have that problem but the lord has opened my eyes and given me the message. He knows what to do...remember what i said
9:01amCosta
Summarize the message again to me bro
9:01amMe
he says, repent and return the family to me...be that woman whom i have decreed u to be…my love for my family is without bound...u allow urself to be used and u open the doors of my home to the devil
9:01amCosta
If the woman refuses to return then when the Lord deals with her, it is her choice
9:02amMe
If u don’t change ur ways. My anger shall be on u. simple. To the man..Its simple, bring the family to me, be that man i decree u to be, hold ur home
9:03amCosta
Amen
9:03amMe

bro u know this topic u raised is a very delicate one and men are so scared of confronting this and because some men want peace in their home they take all kind of crap but I am so thankful to hear this, that if them women folk do not return to their post of duty, the Lord's anger will fall.
9:13amMe
Yes ohhh, the men are scared alright…the devil is using the system including the women, make them spineless. The few who speak out are tortured, but they attempt to speak out without Gods wisdom….says the lord. I will hold my home...come rain come shine. Do not be afraid...speak out but first come to me, i will show u the way…..enough...says the lord..

9:21amMe

Ok...
9:22amCosta
It is not a message that needs support, if it is what the Lord has said then it is what the Lord has said. We don't need to like it
Take k my bro
9:54am Costa is of



THE MESSAGE;
Above is an excerpt of the discussion I had with a friend on a very major issue that critically affecting the AFRICAN FAMILY IN DIASPORA Via MARRIAGES? It is said that when a man finds a wife, loving and caring to which he takes to the altar of GOD, that man is believed to have found a good thing and favor in the eyes of GOD. Likewise, when a woman is approached by a would be ; husband and she accepts the man , it is believed or expected that the woman has found a loving, caring, kind hearted and prosperous person, whom she can call her ‘ knight shinning armor’. He would protect and guide her and provide for her.

A look into the Bible, Quran and other religious books and teaching simply shows similar things about the way and manner a marriage should work and to a large extent , guide towards a fruitful; married life and the making of a family. Today, our lives have been challenged with the most bizarre nature of activities which runs contrary to these teachings. The rate of divorce is fast out pacing the rate of marriages, 50% of marriages end before the fifth anniversary, 70% before the tenth and occasionally, 90% ends by the first quarter of the century (25years) of marriage. This leaves roughly about 10-15% of marriages lasting 30years and over.

Many a reason has been attributed to this trend in our present day life. Most importantly are the African marriages in the western world or I could better describe it as immigrant marriages in foreign lands.

I will not use this chapter to elaborate on the problems and issues relating to failed marriages, for I know there are uncountable reasons and the issue is as sensitive as its debatable but I would rather duel on just one aspect of the entire issue; which is a message I have to Africans in the diaspora. Without sounding prejudice to my beloved people of other race. I specifically choose those of African descent because in my calling and seeking God for answers, the Holy Spirit administered the message to me and I am asked to deliver this message without fear or foe. The message basically touched on the life of the Africans with respect to marriage and family.

The African woman is known to be a lady of distinction. The epitome of God’s creation and grace. She is beautiful, strong, caring, passionate, intelligent, smart, committed to family and above all, she is generally seen as the home maker in our culture and heritage. Her faith stands tall and firm in time of crisis and would not hesitate to support her husband / man whenever or wherever the need arise. She is reassuring and would go at any length to hold and instill values in her family, most especially the children.
This and many more ways, we can simply describe the AFRICAN WOMAN without missing words. YET, today and most importantly, in the Diaspora, these attributes of the African Woman is changing. The changes can be seen in areas like, social, economic, cultural, religious, and political and even the basic day to day life style of the average African woman. Some have tapped into the industrial revolution of our day to revive them and atoned to great heights, while others use the same in a radical approach at destroying their families without realizing that they are doing so. Whichever way we may choose to view the up liftment or growth of the African woman, we must not be betrayed by our sentiments or judgment but rather seek to know why thing are happening at a fast pace and it seems like the men seem to be losing out in all this arrangement.

YES, I have said it and let it be known that the rate of marital divorce which leads to break in family is not only increasing, it’s becoming extremely alarming. I would not place blame on anyone either the men or women, since every case is different but the truth be told that the values of marriage and the family is fast been eroded either physically or spiritually.

This would bring me to now address the issue for my writing. THE MESSAGE as stated above is simply valid information I want to share with the AFRICAN family, most especially to those in the diaspora, meaning those away from home. I am not here to judge anyone but would leave the answers to those who choose to read and yield to the word of the lord. It is not of my making for I do not possess the power but that of our savior in heaven; GOD THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.
I pray that GOD in his wisdom and mercy shall make this message acceptable to all who read it and learn from it.

The lord God almighty; says to his children, I am the lord thy GOD and I have heard your cries. I created man and woman in my own image and likeness and for which I created all the beautiful things of life. I allowed Adam and Eve to multiply so that my creation would last forever by so doing having a family. It is the family that would stand and uphold the values which I have given. The family would take control of the universe which I created and the beautiful things in it. The family would serve me through the head; which is the man and would be supported by the woman. I would make the family to last generations and for those who follow me and adhere to my laws; their days shall be blessed. My glory and mercy shall abide with them forever. Let the beautiful children of the world rise, they are my roses in my father’s kingdom, my love for them is everlasting and the man and woman must safeguard them against the enemy (devil) and all his works. They shall be given much as I have given you (man), they shall be thought my ways and allowed to leave a fruitful life. I am thy GOD who controls your destiny, i will be there for you at all times, as you serve me with humility. I will provide for your family but you must come to me and serve me.

The message continues with a critical look at the AFRICAN MARRIAGE AND FAMILY.

I have heard the cry of the African man in the diaspora; you, whom I have given much, have been reduced to nothing. Your life is without form and all efforts you make to hold your family is fruitless and futile because the devil has been allowed to steal your family away from you. The devil has visited your home and given the opportunity to attack your marriage and family to which you do not have control of anything. Not even your life. You work but it seems like your efforts are not enough. In your moments, you contemplate destruction of life and property as a way of getting back at those who have reduced you to nothing. They laugh at you and mock you and make you spineless and in the mist of all this, the devil takes control of your bride, steals your children and then your properties leaving you with nothing.

I have heard your cry. I say to you, be steadfast, standup and be faithful. Serve the lord your GOD and pray ceaselessly. Return the family to me and be that man whom I have called you to be. In the mist of all these adversity, I will uplift you, I will cause you to be champion among others, I shall brighten your life, rekindle your strength and return your lost glory back to you but you must return to serve the lord your GOD. You must humble yourself before the lord and seek his wisdom at all times. You have left your home to another man’s land to suffer and toil. Your efforts shall not go in vain. The devil would be put to shame. You must bring my children back to me for I made you head of house and caretaker for the family. You must leave a righteous life and abide by my laws. You must learn to forgive for I am the lord thy GOD who forgives. You must love and instill the values of love in your family. You must teach them; wife and children my ways and bring them to me. It is when you have changed your ways that my glory will permanently watch over you and your family and the devil would be put to shame and destroyed.

MAN; I have heard your cry, but you must be responsible and be of good conduct. You must love your wife as I love you and cherish her as the mother of your children. The devil has invaded my homes and manipulating my daughters against the man and the family. You the man has lapsed in your responsibility and allowed the agents of the devil to take over my masterpiece, my home shall stand and you will be returned to your rightful place. You have overlooked my presence in the family and decided to worship and glorify materialism. Your quest for material wealth has lead you astray as such you have misguided your priorities for the family, especially my children. Your fear of humiliation and disgrace from the devil and his agents has tormented you to a point where you now doubt my existence but I say to you, that I am the lord thy GOD, you must return to me and serve me. I will exalt you and liberate you from the hands of the enemy. I will give you back your glory and restore to you, the lost joy and happiness. AMEN.

I have heard the cry of the African woman in the diaspora; says the lord. The woman of substance and pedigree. She, whom I chose to conceive my son (African man), must be respected by all. I have choosen you to lead women of the world because of your persona and pedigree. I have great joy in my creation and made you to be the maker of the family and home, the first among others and the epitome of the family’s well being. I have taken you away from the bondage of Africa’s barbaric culture and made you shine among your peers in the diaspora but the devil has decided to compromise my good work. He has decided to invade you and manipulate you to the detriment of the man and the family. I have seen the man being castrated and reduced due to the atrocities the devil has put before you and in your mind you think all is well. The devil and his agents are using you to destroy my household and family. In your quest for greatness and atonement, you lose touch of wisdom and care. You overlook the intricate things that I have put in place in your life and decide to challenge the head. I have made the man the head of my home but yet you arrogantly choose to depose him and work against him. I say to you’ woman’, that you must change your ways.

I am the lord thy GOD, I rejoice in my daughters and I have shown my enduring love for the woman by placing her first amongst others but she’s been mislead in the destruction of my household and children. Return to your rightful place as the wife and mother. Show love and care for your family. Support your husband no matter the circumstances and care for my children whom I have given you. The devil has only come to destroy and not build. It does not build and would never build. I say this to you, that I cherish my family and children and love them with all my heart and would not allow their life and destiny to be taken away from them, I ask that you change, repent and confess your sins. I am the father and would forgive you, if you come to me. Join the man in praying for the family and building the family. The devil is manipulative and would make you destroy your family if you let him. Rejoice in the gift I have given you and be mindful of my anger.

Woman, be that woman whom I have called you to be, my love for my children and family knows no bound and my judgment would rain upon those who allow the devil to use them in the destruction of my vineyard. Be wise, patient and persevere and pray for my wisdom at all times. Seek me and I will be there for you. Call my name at your times of need and I will answer you, show love and work with love for this are the weapons against the devil and his agents. AS my home maker, I expect that all you do would be in my name and I shall brighten your world. I shall make the man a shining star and armor to guide and support you and my children but you must respect and be obedient to him.

Woman I say unto you, I have blessed your womb with fruits that would germinate and yield greater fruits which would rule the world and the African woman would be looked upon for guidance. She would be envied among peers and her children would rule the world. You are chosen as a home and peace maker, you shall care for my son (man) and the children. My children are crying and being displaced because you allow the devil to manipulate you against the man. These are the precious gifts I have freely blessed you with but in your greed, you succumb to the devil and his agents. I am saddened by this level of irresponsibility; I expect that you will guide my children with your life and call upon me for guidance and wisdom. I say to you, return to me and serve the lord thy GOD.
  
I have heard the cry of the African child in Diaspora; my precious flowers, to whom I am favored above all. In my father’s house, there are many beautiful things and the children come first. I hear your cry of displacement, separation from your parent and family, your trauma of dealing with the separation or divorce of your parents and many more. To all this things, I say be steel. I am your father in heaven and my love for you runs like a stream. I will destroy the works of the devil and his agents, who has waged war against my family and destroying my children. I shall bring down the empires which go against me and cause them to tremble. I will raise you and bless your generations and in the mist of this adversity, I shall anoint you as the leader of nations. Learn my ways and pray. My glory and blessing shall permanently be upon you. Amen.

May the grace and glory of our lord Jesus Christ be upon you all.

Sir Tony Nammor.
