Japa Syndrome: Breaking Homes and Hearts
I counselled and kept 10 in prayers after finding out they are married but living single. To God's glory 5 are united.
Genesis 2:24 was for the purpose of man starting a family with woman. Abraham received instruction to leave land, he went with his wife. Lot's wife merely looked back during forced relocation; she received instant judgement.
It breaks my heart to see the evil done by folks japaing... We now have married-singles looking lost. Yet, many unmarried ones now make marrying someone abroad part of the spec. If you marry someone overseas, it is not enough that you can travel to inject pregnancy only to leave her to suffer through that critical season alone. This is the root of homosexuality.
A family is a man and woman with or without children. While you are away, who is the priest in your home. Know that no drug can cure the abscess from absence.
If you cannot sort out travel papers soon after wedding, it is a deal breaker. Some may not be able to travel for wedding due to complicated immigration status; if they succeed in bringing you in, you may live separately until they get out of bondage.
We know a case that ended in divorce about 25 years after. His brother stood in for him during traditional wedding; whenever he argued with his wife, he would taunt her that he never made vows to her!
A woman waited 14 years for her man. He never returned, he remarried abroad. She went against church policy and is now married to a widower; only a miracle can make pregnancy happen.
To survive abroad, though pastors, a couple ended up lying to work. Down the line they overstayed with no plan to return. For daring to lodge them, I lost a home. Sadly, she is now dead. Uriah died untimely because he left his new wife to pursue gallantry. The Bible standard was to live together for one year after marital ceremony.
You are God's Ark of Covenant, where God locates you and yours there are resources. The Adeyokunnu-Adeboye couple hatched success locally to shine the gospel light to the world.
Yes, there are amenities abroad but it is on your tax dollars or pounds. You can create London or Paris where God locates you. If you are married, your first kingdom assignment is your spouse.
Sex, kiss, embrace cannot be mailed. Stop putting spouses in bondage in the name of "I am doing this for us." No you are NOT! You are doing it so you can buga about in the abroad life.
Please let us stop this madness! Go abroad only IF God is leading you there but make adequate plan. If unmarried, marry in your nation and/or make plans to promptly join your spouse. You can both decide who should move.
I served in 6 hospitals in Kentucky as chaplain; majority who chose death did because they had no committed partner. When racism, crisis or inclement weather hits, having spouse or family cushions the effect.
I have cases of divorce at hand due to infidelity caused by japa syndrome. Dakun avoid becoming part of that unfortunate statistics.
God will guide us to act righteously.
