RE: The Silent Struggle

in Hive Learners2 days ago

The society has also contributed a lot to making people remain in toxic relationships. I could vividly remember the case of a gospel singer I read about not quite long. She was in an abusive marriage and sought help from the church. Instead of taking a reasonable action majority advised her to pray to God to touch her husband's heart.

When she couldn't take it anymore, she quit the marriage. Instantly, her problems mounted. She was no longer invited for ministrations. The excuse was the same: a divorcee can't lead Christians to God on the alter of praise. She was categorically "cancelled".

Looking at this scenario, other gospel singers like her will keep quiet out of fear of losing their careers. Afterall, it was after the death of one popular gospel singer that her friends started coming out to say how they pleaded with her to leave her marriage but she wouldn't because of such fears.

The society has to do better.

It's even worse in the church. They'd rather spiritualize things than face the fact. A lot of resident pastors out there are beating their wives to stupor on a regular basis. That's why you see them coming to the pulpit to regular quip that the only person that can judge them is God. That's more like a deterrent to members to mind their business.
