Bended Knees: The Best Marriage Strategy!
Jarlath Uche Opara
Bended knees, happens to be one of the few expressions I learned growing up. I got used to it, using it had a fascinating feelings it gave me then.
Did I at that point know what it really means? Of course kneeling.
Discussing this his attitude with another person who thought I should ignore him and treat his attitude like water off the duck’ back, I bellowed in anger “I won’t until I bring him on bended knees”.
What was it that I set out to communicate? Simply to make him to come and apologise.
However, as I grew in knowledge, the other dimension of its usage and meaning began to resonate more powerfully with me.
How did it happen? I watched a film entitled War Room years back. It was one film that clearly showed the unfailing power of prayer. What was the crux of this film?
“War Room” is a 2015 American Christian drama film directed by Alex Kendrick. It was a story of a woman named Elizabeth Jordan who was struggling with her marriage and family life. She met an elderly woman named Clara who helped her discover the power of prayer and creating a “war room” – a private place for prayer and reflection.
As Elizabeth learned to trust in God and prayed for her family, she experienced transformation in her relationships with her husband who was caught in the web of infidelity and life generally.
The film emphasizes the importance of faith, prayer, and the impact they can have on personal struggles and relationships.
After watching War Room, it became profoundly clear that there is nothing beyond bended knees. It became clear and distinct how “magical” the results that come out of a deliberate, conscientious and sincere bending of knees in prayer can be.
Until one watches that film “War Room” it might be very difficult to appreciate the kind of power deposit on bended knees to do the unimaginable.
Infidelity, both physically and emotionally is one virus that is attacking the sacredness of marriage and making it mere shadow of what it is designed to do and be.
Many couples have tried to fight this virus using wrong tools and instruments that have overtimes proven to be counter productive, fueling it the more or making the affected couples more daring and emboldened in that evil.
In this situation, nothing works better and effectively than bended knees. Get on your knees in your War Room and do the battle. Often times the battle may not be physical, an orchestrated battle most times, weaved and designed from the coven to destroyed the beauty of the bliss and bloom of ones union.
Many unions, which today would have been unique and flourishing hit the rock and went into shreds because of infidelity, which bended knees in ones War Room would have averted.
There is no marriage difficulties and challenges that being on the knees wouldn’t solve. Think about it and at all times deploy bended knees strategy in your marriage. The battle on marriage is by day getting fierced and strategic. Dealing with it with your human senses, emotions etc can be watery and ineffective.
Be on your knees, no matter how stinking your marriage situation is, the power from your War Room will give it a godly fragrance.
