21 Enemies of Family Progress Pt 1

– Bisi Adewale

Many stagnant, unproductive and struggling families abound today, because we have allowed the enemies of progress to gradually creep in and take over in the home.

These enemies of progress have been allowed to disrupt and destroy the power of the family to move forward; unfortunately, people involve in families left these destroyer unchallenged.

Let’s check out these enemies of family progress:

1.Faulty Foundation: Too many families cannot achieve real progress because of their faulty family foundation. A family built on sex, money, beauty, wealth (etc) cannot but crash in the face of challenges of life.

2.Disobedient to God: Family that is fond of disobeying God can never move forward. Disobedience to God through non-payment of vows and offerings also adultery, etc if they are not prepared to change, they may not enjoy divine grace.

3.Ignorance: This is another enemy of progress in the family. What you don’t know may be destroying your family. Ignorance of couples about sex, love, in-laws handling, financial intelligence and crisis management etc can destroy any marriage anytime, any day.

4.Wrong association: It is better to be alone than with wrong people. Anybody that doesn’t encourage you to love your spouse is not a friend but an enemy. Anybody that hate your spouse should not be your friend no matter how close he/she may be.

5.Third Party: Never allow third party into your marriage. Third party is always the wrong party; your children, friends, parents, pet, housemaid, neighbours are all third parties in your marriage, and they should not be allowed to take over your marriage.
