My marriage is just two years old. I work as an accountant in a secondary school. Two months after we got married, my husband collected my ATM card. My salary is N110k. Whenever my salary comes my husband withdraws the whole salary, takes 70k and gives me the rest . He will still insist I use the money to buy things for the house and also for transportation to work. After three months, I asked him what he does with the money he will tell me he adds it to his business (Tailoring materials). I complained to my mum and she told me not to worry because he is my husband. Some months later, I told him I needed to change my wardrobe and get some new shoes for work that I would need all the money for that month. He called me a stuuuu pid woman that I should manage the ones I have. When I refused he beat me with his belt. I told my employer everything, then she told me to open another account that my salary will be divided into two, 55k in my old account and 20,000 in my new account. She said I should tell my husband that the school is downsizing and they are retaining me with the condition that my salary will be reduced by 50k When I told him, he didn't even bother. When my next salary came, he collected 40k , and gave me 10k . I was amgry and asked him how he expects me to go to work? Then I also questioned what his own money is used for. He beat me badly and kicked my stomach I miscarried the baby I was carrying. After I was discharged, he told me that if I ever question his authority again that he will disfigured me. This is someone I dated for 1 year 7 months with no form of violence. Though our church does not support visiting our intended husband alone so I didnt have the opportunity to study him the way I should. My mother had an acciden tt and I wanted sending her money, I asked my husband that I will need 15,000 when my salary is paid. He told me that I wont give my mother anything because his mother needs a deep freezer for her fish business. I just didnt say anything. I sent some of the money I have fbeen saving in the other account to my mother. A week later, his mum had an accide nt in a keke when she went to buy fish. He told me to take loan from my office so he can add to the one he has to treat his mum. I told him to use the one he has been saving from my salary and I won't do what he asked me. And he should remember what he told me when my mum had an acciden tt . Then two months into later he returned my ATM card because my salary was no longer coming. I told him to hold it that I won't collect it again. He went in to bring his belt to bea ttt me, I used the curtains pipe on the floor of the sitting room and hi ttt his neck. He told everyone that I want to kee him. His people told me to apologize, I said over my dea ddd body. On the open day , I got a car and packed my belongings and left him. I told the woman I worked as a nanny in the house after my secondary school about everything. She sent me 450,000 to get an apartment. Which i have done and moved in. My pastor said we should resolve the matter. For the first time in my life, I insu lted my pastor and told him it shall not be wel with him. I have apologized to my pastor, but I won't go back to that devul of a husband. Now my mum says if I dont go back to my husband that it will break her heart and she may kpai because my mum is diabetic and hypertensive, my father is late. How should I convince my mum to understand that I can't go back.... #followers Please I need advice please. #copied You guys, advise her I'll be right back .🚴🚴🚴🚴

*LEADERSHIP AND SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY* *Opening Counsel:* Leadership is a very serious business! If you don't want your weaknesses to surface, you shouldn't aspire to become a leader. Truth is, leadership will expose your strengths and weaknesses. *As a pastor and leader, one of the most important aspects of your role is to lead your congregation with wisdom, compassion, and spiritual sensitivity.* Leadership in the church is not just about making decisions or giving orders, but about guiding and inspiring others to grow in their faith and relationship with God. In the Bible, we see many examples of strong and effective leaders who were also deeply connected to God and His will. One such example is King David, who was described as a man after God's own heart *(1 Samuel 13:14).* David's leadership was marked by his humility, courage, and unwavering trust in God, even in the face of great challenges. In the New Testament, we see Jesus as the ultimate example of a leader who was both powerful and sensitive to the needs of those around Him. Jesus' leadership was marked by His love, compassion, and willingness to serve others, even to the point of sacrificing His own life for the salvation of humanity. That means it is important to emulate the leadership qualities of these biblical figures by being humble, courageous, and compassionate in your interactions with others. It is also crucial to cultivate a deep spiritual sensitivity that allows you to discern God's will and lead your congregation in accordance with His plan. One key aspect of spiritual sensitivity in leadership is the ability to listen to the voice of God through prayer, meditation, and study of the Scriptures. *In Psalm 46:10,* we are reminded to "Be still, and know that I am God." This verse encourages us to quiet our minds and hearts in order to hear God's voice and receive His guidance. Another important aspect of spiritual sensitivity is the ability to empathize with the struggles and challenges faced by members of your congregation. *In Romans 12:15,* we are instructed to "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." This verse reminds us to be present and supportive to those in need, showing them the love and compassion of Christ. *Let's see 10 Steps to Spiritual Sensitivity to great Leadership in the Church:* 1. *Seek God's guidance through prayer and meditation on His Word* - James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." 2. *Cultivate a heart of humility and servanthood* - Philippians 2:3-4 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." 3. *Practice active listening and empathy towards others* - James 1:19 "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." 4. *Lead by example and live a life of integrity* - Proverbs 11:3 "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity." 5. *Foster a spirit of unity and harmony among the church members* - Ephesians 4:3 "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." 6. *Be open to feedback and constructive criticism* - Proverbs 15:31 "Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise." 7. *Encourage and empower others to use their spiritual gifts for the benefit of the church* - 1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." 8. *Practice forgiveness and reconciliation in times of conflict* - Colossians 3:13 "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." 9. *Stay grounded in the Word of God and seek His wisdom in all decisions* - Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." 10. *Continually seek to grow in spiritual maturity and deepen your relationship with God* - 2 Peter 3:18 "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." *Conclusion:* By following these steps to spiritual sensitivity and great leadership in the church, we can strive to lead with humility, integrity, and love, ultimately glorifying God and building up His kingdom on earth. May we always seek His guidance and wisdom in all that we do, trusting in His plan for us and the church. #goodsuccess #happyweekend

The Christmas celebration had a different meaning for Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Pastor Blessed, following how they spent it. A video saw the kingdom couple in a remote village putting smiles on the faces of elderly residents as they filled their hands with food and clothing items, triggering reactions online. Someone reacted: "Please, I genuinely need a sewing machine for my work. I don’t mind a used one or a New one to start working."The Christmas celebration had a different meaning for Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Pastor Blessed, following how they spent it.
