The New Jerusalem Chapel located at Sokoban Ampayoo in the Ashanti region on Sunday May 12,2024 celebrated the ‘Mother Day’ with a call women, especially the married ones to be humble and show respect to their husbands to sustain their marriages.
As a special occasion for women, top and seasoned gospel musicians like Tiwa and Professor Kofi Abraham were invited to entertain the congregation.
The congregation, especially the ladies were given the opportunities to dance to the soul wining gospel songs.
Addressing the function, Prophetess Christiana Adu Amponsah who is the husband of the leader and founder of the church, Bishop Dr John Yaw Adu expressed her gratitude to God for the occasion, insisting that women are precious, valuable and created specially to support man as a wife, citing Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in the Holy Scriptures.
Prophetess Christiana Adu Amponsah observed that as women, our core mandate is to show respect, submissive, serve and humble ourselves to our husbands.
If such virtues are exhibited in marriage homes, husbands would deepened their love in wives to ensure unity and peaceful coexistence in their family, she asserted.
That was not all, she spoke against laziness attitudes in some women who hate to work and support their husbands, unnecessary friendship, attitudes of gossip, lack of attention to children welfare, harsh words on husbands, sexual wickedness to decrease love in wives, regular complains of family matters to parents among others as some bad habits that break up marriages.
According to the soft spoken woman of God, who claims to have 41 years experience in marriage, she has lived peacefully with his husband, Bishop Dr J Y Adu and children as a result of her respect, humility, submissiveness and good manners she always shows to her husband, ultimately to enable Bishop Adu to have peace of mind to do the work of God.
Quoting the book of Proverbs 30-10, the Prophetess noted that every man needs a good and virtuous wife worth to serve, and therefore a wife whose attitudes does not fall under the dictates of Proverbs 30-10 cannot count herself among the ideal women in the society.
Today the Prophetess expressed disappointment that out of bad conduct, many marriages have hits the rock simply because some women follow their beauty and impose themselves on husbands, refusing to obey simple household instructions or learn how to render apologies to many when they err.
The Prophetess took advantage of the ‘Mother’s Day’ celebration to admonish recalcitrant women to change over a new leaf and bear in mind that marriage is not a fashion or opportunity, but it is a sacred institution handed down by God to couples to experience real love, unity, the blessings and glory of God.
In his brief contribution the founder and leader of the church, Bishop Dr J Y Adu linked marriage seperstions to irresponsible habits with some women citing boastfulness, lack of humility, patience, respect, supremacy attempts on husbands among others.
The clergy expressed worry that many weddings have been outlived due to bad behavior .of some women who don’t know that the secret of successful marriage depends on humility, respect and readiness to serve.
The Bishop alleged that the current annual divorce cases at the Marriage Registry always top that of the sustainable marriages and therefore it is now time women should be cautious about their attitudes to help them to maintain their marriages to glorify God.
For the fact that some husbands are difficult to control, Bishop Adu emphasized the need for wives to refer family challenges to their pastors for settlement instead of their parents of which some of them are the sources of breaking marriages.
