The experiences we go through put us in a position of empathy. Where we are more empathetic to others, and as such able to advise and counsel them from a place of experience. A woman that has had to wait for even 3 years before having a child, knows the pain of waiting. A person that has suffered injustice knows how it feels. So when such a person is counseling you from a place of experience, you know they understand what you are going through and will likely accept their advice more than someone that has not been there. And you notice genuine empathy from such people.
Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior today.

Did you know that our books focus on various issues from African perspectives? These topics include leadership challenges, family dynamics, relationships, grief and bereavement, counseling and recovery, personal and spiritual growth, and more.
Why do we emphasize this? Many Western books, such as those on marriage, do not address important cultural issues like dowries, polygamy, extended family expectations, or inter-tribal marriages because they are not relevant to the Western church. However, believers in Africa are very familiar with these challenges.
The global church has much to learn from African experiences as well. We partner with authors, ministries, Bible training institutions, churches, and booksellers to fulfill the demand for Bibles and books that reflect African perspectives. Check out our homepage here:

What are the expectations?
Thirty Sayings of the #Wise - Saying 10
I encourage #corporate#America to read the book of #Proverbs this week!
The Proverbs reveal something of the #heart of #God and what His expectations are for His people in our practical, day-to-day dealings with one another.
In business,
In marriage,
Our children,
Our neighbors,
And more.
Proverbs addresses all of these relationships.

Violence,drug abuse,unplanned divorce etc have highly contributed to the increase in parent death rate in Uganda annually which results into many children becoming orphans at a very tender age.These always become physchologically,emotionally challenged and traumatised as they lack basic needs,they always get abused and are majorly not loved.We have always found many of a kind on town streets,church,rubbish pits,police etc however it is only a few we bring home due to inadequacy of support and shortage of resources.Despite the fact they all have different backgrounds,we struggle our best to install a Godly one love heart amongest them with company of some basic needs,improved social services like medication,school etc .It is unfortunate that for the past year we have not been in position of meeting the above needs but we bless lord for the gift of life and we think soon we are gong to prove Satan wrong by winning.
It really costs nothing to see a child’s smile and they never need lavish things to feel happy but a warm love hug with a few things that might be essential,basic,fun in their lives.Because the birth of Jesus christ comes with joy,happiness,so many other things giving inclusive,it would be a great idea if atleast everyone out there in the world could atleast gift some one in need!I have today decided to write down some stuff that can let an orphaned vulnerable poor Ugandan child SMILE and also help them in their day to day life.

Christ does not make us pay for our sins if we are Christians. He sacrificed Himself for our sins by giving His life for us. He does not get angry at us but seeks to restore us.
Understanding this fundamental gospel truth at the moment of our spouse’s sin, prepares us for a gospel-motivated sacrifice rather than a self-centered punishment.
Rather than choosing sinful anger (punishment) as a response to our spouse’s sin, we can thinking redemptively. Jumping to sinful anger will distort and strain our relationship with God and with our spouse.

How to WiN YOUR SPOUSE ???
Winning your spouse’s heart and maintaining a loving and respectful relationship in the Islamic perspective involves a combination of spiritual, emotional, and practical elements. Here are some key principles based on Islamic teachings:
1. **Love and Compassion**
Islam emphasizes love and compassion between spouses. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
> "The best of you are those who are best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives" (Tirmidhi).
### 2. **Communication and Understanding**
Open and honest communication is crucial. Listen to your spouse’s concerns, understand their needs, and express your own feelings respectfully.
### 3. **Respect and Kindness**
Respect is a fundamental principle. Treat your spouse with kindness and avoid harsh words or actions. The Quran states:
> "And live with them in kindness" (Quran 4:19).
### 4. **Support and Partnership**
Marriage in Islam is viewed as a partnership. Support your spouse in their personal and professional endeavors. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) assisted his wives with household chores, setting an example of mutual support.
### 5. **Patience and Forgiveness**
Be patient and forgiving. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's essential to forgive and move forward. The Quran encourages forgiveness and patience:
> "And if you overlook and forgive and pardon, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful" (Quran 64:14).
### 6. **Fulfillment of Rights and Responsibilities**
Both spouses have rights and responsibilities. Understanding and fulfilling these ensures a balanced and harmonious relationship. For example, the husband is responsible for providing for the family, while the wife has the right to be treated with respect and care.
### 7. **Quality Time**
Spend quality time together to strengthen your bond. Engage in activities that you both enjoy and make time for each other despite busy schedules.
### 8. **Expressing Appreciation**
Regularly express appreciation and gratitude for each other. Small gestures of kindness and appreciation can significantly impact the relationship.
### 9. **Islamic Practices**
Incorporate Islamic practices into your daily life. Praying together, reading the Quran, and engaging in acts of worship can bring spiritual closeness and blessings into the relationship.
### 10. **Seeking Knowledge**
Continuously seek knowledge about marital relations and strive to improve. Attend Islamic lectures, read books, and consult with knowledgeable individuals to enhance your understanding and practices.
### Conclusion
Building and maintaining a loving and respectful relationship with your spouse in Islam requires a combination of love, respect, communication, and adherence to Islamic principles. By following these guidelines, you can create a strong and fulfilling marriage that aligns with the teachings of Islam.
