A Decade of Longing for Caroline Denadi Haastrup

In disbelief, I wander, lost in time
The emptiness of dinner, a heart that's not aligned
The cruel fate of growing up, a painful sight
Watching loved ones fade, with each passing night

Your departure, a shock that took its toll
Six months passed, before the pain took its role
I was your shining star, your pride and delight
You trusted me fully, in the dark of night

Your words still echo, a memory so dear
"Ade will never stray, I've guided him clear"
But fate had other plans, and took you away from me
At 66, your journey ended, far too soon to stay

Ten years have passed, yet lingering grief remains
Longing to see you again, to ease the pains
Caroline Denadi Haastrup Nee Hundeyin, dear
Your memory lives on, forever near

Until we meet again, in a brighter place
Your family still acknowledges your peaceful nature,
Your Earthly Partner savors your memory and still reminisces
And your children hold your memory in grace.

Your First Fruit
Emmanuel Haastrup (Ceah)

TOPIC: THE PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE

MEMORISE:
“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” - (Genesis 2:18)

READ: ECCLESIASTES 4:9-12 (KJV)

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

MESSAGE:

Our memory verse tells us clearly that marriage was established primarily for companionship. God made a help meet for Adam, not a competitor. Any marriage where the husband and wife compete against each other will not stand because Mark 3:25 says that a house divided against itself shall not stand. Husband, your wife is a gift from God to help you achieve His purpose for your life. You must create the environment that encourages her to help you rather than compete with you. If not for my wife’s help and the grace of God, I would not have achieved all I have achieved in ministry today. Ask God to give you the wisdom to know what to do to get your spouse to help you.

I always encourage and give room for my wife to help me. I don’t hide things from her, rather, I hand some things over to her to handle. After major programmes like our annual conventions, I buy her gifts to say, “Thank you for your support.” This encourages her to help me more in subsequent programmes.

Wives, stop trying to compete with your husbands. Don’t follow the recent worldly trend that is seeking to overturn the roles of husbands and wives in marriages. Don’t turn your marriage into a competition where there is a winner and a loser. One person’s win is a win for both of you. The more impact your spouse makes, the prouder you should be. In Proverbs 31:23, the Bible says that a good wife makes her husband proud. Husband, if your wife is making an impact in places of authority, you should hold your head up high; it does not reduce you as a man; it enhances you. It shows that you know how to nurture talent well, and things flourish in your hands.

Let all involved parties play their part in ensuring a successful home. If every footballer on a field tries to be the striker so that they can boast of the number of goals they score, who will be the goalkeeper and ensure that the opponent doesn’t score against them? The fact that you are a defender does not make you any less valuable than the striker. Play your part, and you will both enjoy the rewards of success. Don’t leave your duty post to compete with your teammate and end up losing in life entirely. Handle your role, support your spouse, and your entire family will win at the end of the day.

KEY POINT:
It is better to be a defender in a winning team than to be a star player in a losing team.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 12-14

HYMNAL: 30 - WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]

3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]

4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain]

*THEME: FLEE FORNICATION*

MEMORISE:
“Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.” - (1 Corinthians 6:18)

READ: EPHESIANS 5:3-8 (KJV)

3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

MESSAGE:
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. - (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

The above passage says that God destroys fornicators; He destroys them Himself. If a believer does not want God to destroy him or her, he or she must avoid fornication by all means. When fornication comes knocking on the door of your heart, you must flee!

How do you flee fornication? First, stay away from anything that can lead to fornication. Don’t stay in secluded places alone with someone of the opposite sex. Don’t have immoral conversations with that fellow who claims to be your friend because evil communication corrupts good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33).

If someone is making sexual advances at you, run! Don’t give room for the fellow to try and convince you at all. When Potiphar’s wife was trying to get Joseph to sleep with her, he ran for his dear life (Genesis 39:7-12).

Beloved, there is no point in Christians entering into romantic relationships if the mutual intention is not marriage - a relationship like that is a time bomb, waiting to blow up its participants. If you cannot tell your pastor that you want to go into a relationship with someone, then you must not go into that relationship. A child of God should not have casual romantic relationships, rather, he or she should have a fiancé or fiancée.

If you are mature enough to get married, and the desire to have sexual relations is getting so much that it is difficult to cope, then get married. God sanctions sexual relations only within the confines of marriage. To avoid the destruction that comes with fornication, it is better that you get married. The Bible says in (1 Corinthians 7:9), “But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.”

There is absolutely nothing worthwhile to gain or enjoy from fornicating; the result is always destruction. If you don’t believe me, ask Samson or Reuben. They will tell you that if they could reverse time, the only thing they would change about their lives is that they would avoid fornication.

KEY POINT:
There is absolutely nothing worthwhile to gain or enjoy from fornicating; the result is always destruction.

HYMNAL: 31 - YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

1 Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each vict’ry will help you,
Some other to win;
Fight valiantly onward,
Evil passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through.
Refrain:
Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

2 Shun evil companions,
Bad language disdain;
God’s name hold in rev’rence,
Nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest,
Kindhearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through.

[Refrain]

3 To him that o’ercometh,
God giveth a crown;
Through faith we will conquer,
Though often cast down;
He who is our Savior,
Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through.

[Refrain]
