Where Faith meets fresh perspective....

Still on the Seven Mountain of Influence.

This is episode 2 and it will be on Mount. Family.

So.........

______________________

You are the firstborn of five children to parents who do not regard GOD.

Your family's company is failing, infact, two of your younger siblings have already had to stop going to school because there simply isn't enough money.

Your parents are desperate to keep the family afloat.

Then they find a solution.

A wealthy family, friends with your family, owns a thriving company.

Their daughter is unmarried and her family agrees to nvest in your family's company with the condition that you marry their daughter.

Your parents already want you in it not because they want you to be happy.

Not even primarily because they want the wealth.

To your family it did not just mean an alliance, it meant survival.

Your siblings could return to school.

The family business could survive.

Everyone wins.

Except...

You already have someone else in mind.

Not because of emotion alone.

You believe God has given you clear instructions concerning whom you should marry.

And now you remember:

“Honour your father and your mother...”

— Ephesians 6:2

But you also remember:

“If you love me, keep my commandments.”

— John 14:15

Remember, your parents don't regard God, so you can't simply tell them, “God said I should do this,” as though that settles the matter.

But what happens when obeying God appears to mean allowing your siblings to suffer?

What happens when honouring your parents appears to require disobeying God?

Your decision could determine whether four people continue their education.... Your blood siblings.

You say yes to your family, 

You go against GOD'S plan for your future as regards marriage.   

And the decision of marriage is not something that can just be rushed anyway it pleases.....

Another disturbing dilemma....

What should be done?

PEACE ✋😌🤚
