Whew! The 100th post on the blog. Glory to God.
Things are getting really intense on Down and thankfully, today on the conversation we have more people sharing their thoughts.
Questions for the week:
*Mojoyin’s powers proved potent with Andrew but were useless when tried on Oluwaseyi, although both were believers, what do you think is the reason for that?
*Do you think Lovette is going overboard? Should she have left her home? Is it ever justifiable to leave one’s matrimonial home, if yes, what are those conditions?
*Is Andrew’s meeting with Adebimpe a wrong move? How should one relate with an ex, especially if you are now in a committed relationship or are married?
The first response came from Mrs. Adekunle Oluwayemisi Felicia
Andrew was in a confused and sad state as at that time, it was not the best time to take that decision and the devil through Mojoyin used that opportunity.
Having a talk with an ex is like toiling with fire. The truth is irrespective of what separated you, there is always at least one thing that you like/love about your ex, that can make you fall
for him or her any time, married or not. So it is wise to allow sleeping dogs lie.
Lastly, for me there should be no reason for you to pack away from your home like that. It is not the best option.
Thank you very much ma’am. It’s true that the Devil always seeks to take advantage of our time of doubt and weariness. May God help us to be always alert.
The next person we have is Ms. Kehinde Odeyale
1. Mojoyin’s power was potent on Andrew because he was beginning to lose faith and trust in God.
2. Yes, Lovette is going overboard, she is allowing unforgiveness and bitterness to consume her, as Christian we need to learn to forgive others most especially in marital relationships.
3. Andrew meeting with Bimpe was wrong, his Pastor or a trusted Christian friend or even an elder in his church would have been a better option in such situations.
Relationship with “ex” should kept at a distance as possible.
Hmmm… Thank you very much ma’am.
Then, our ever so consistent Mr. Akinsola Iremide
Mojoyin’s powers proved potent with Andrew but were useless when tried on Oluwaseyi, although both were believers, what do you think is the reason for that?
Hmm. I think Andrew was weak at that point in time. The circumstances had gotten to him.
*Do you think Lovette is going overboard? Should she have left her home? Is it ever justifiable to leave one’s matrimonial home, if yes, what are those conditions?
Hmm. It’s difficult to say she’s going overboard. For goodness’ sake, the guy tried to kill their son. Her son. She’s entitled to be angry. I feel time at her friend’s place could help.
For me, domestic violence is a justifiable condition for a spouse to leave the house, for a while. That’s to be sure that it doesn’t graduate to murder, and also to allow the raging emotional tides to subside.
*Is Andrew’s meeting with Adebimpe a wrong move? How should one relate with an ex, especially if you are now in a committed relationship or are married?
Hmm. I think so. Yes. Meeting with the opposite sex when one is vulnerable isn’t advisable. In those times, we don’t have our heads straight. So, I feel Andrew should have met up with a friend. A male friend.
Relationship with an ex should be kept to a reasonable minimum. It doesn’t take much to revive passions and light old flames
Thank you very much sir.
So, let’s keep looking forward to subsequent episodes of Down the series and the conversation. ❤❤
