A Man's Faith: Its Impact on His Family


 



Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga 


The conviction a man holds about having a family is the foundation upon which his family is established. This image fills in the required efforts and the person needed to bring it to life, the wife to be. A relationship that starts with a man full of faith is likely to manifest into a strong family.


The Leading Role of a Man's Faith

The leading role of a man arises from his initial faith, which he eventually fills in. It's a vision he carries and fills in with a wife that God blesses into a big family. There's nothing very special about men besides their strong faith.


The Attacking Faith of a Man vs. The Complimentary Faith of a Woman

While women also have faith, the two have different faith natures. A man's faith is attacking in nature, whereas a woman's faith is complimentary. This doesn't imply a difference in importance between a man and a woman. When both blend their faith together, their lives manifest fulfilment.


The Nature of a Man's Faith

Men create space they should fill up. A man has to walk up to his desires to acquire them. The institution of marriage begins from a man's mind. It's natural for a man to have a wife, but the magic lies in a man creating a void that he pursues and fulfils. The mention of a family that isn't there already is the seed I call attacking faith, as the man is the proposer and pursuer.


The Acceptance of a Man's Proposal

The acceptance of a man's proposal sets the faith of a woman. God gave women some limits there. A woman can make a vision, but it has to wait for a man’s to complete. The same with a man's faith; for it to be complete, it must first meet that of a woman. The marriage of visions is the holy matrimony.


A Man's Triplicate Faith

The whole family's faith is charged by the faith of a man. He commissions the faith of a woman and that of children born afterward. A man's faith must be abundant and sufficient to cover his family. The resources used by the family, the methods of survival and name are the man’s products of belief. A woman's belief includes believing in her man. The same with that of children; they have to believe through their parents.


The Sufficiency of a Man's Faith

A man's faith must be sufficient enough; otherwise, the family will be impoverished. While single, a man must kill a hare, but as his family grows, a man must thrive to kill an elephant.

My obituary to Rev E Kamupira

      Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga   Rev E Kamupira was my childhood model of Christianity, his teachings resonated well and shaped my beliefs. I knew Rev E Kamupira since my Sunday School days at St Stephens Chitungwiza Circuit. Sundays weren’t   the same each time Rev Kamupira came to preach.   Rev Kamupira was a product of United Methodist Church crusade of teachings though he had a Pentecostal touch that kind of made him popular   within and without of United Methodist Church. His fearless gospel suited well with congregants in an independent Zimbabwe.   From hearing   his teachings far away from the terraces I ended up privileged sharing the same church with Rev Kamupira in Waterfalls. I had also rose to a promising Administrator in the United Methodist Church. I had a mutual relationship with Elison Kamupira. We discussed our church current affairs and shared the gospel. Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who ...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

It’s Not The End Of The World

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga    This story is based on a true story and I have edited names so that someone is inspired out there. Resilience makes great changes in people's lives, don't commit Suicide     Fadzai sat on the edge of her bed, feeling empty and defeated. She had never felt so alone in her life. Thomas’s brief and dismissive response on the phone had left her reeling. She thought about her daughter, Rungano, who was now misbehaving at school, and how she was struggling to cope with the absence of her father.   Thomas had gone to South Africa for greener pastures leaving Fadzai with their only daughter behind. The plan was to relocate to South Africa as soon as Thomas had settled. In the first six months Thomas supported Fadzai with groceries, school fees and rentals. A shift began after Thomas had started seeing other women in South Africa. Thomas started sending money enough for rentals, school fees and a few groceries. The...
