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.

Love, Sex, and Marriage: Three Sides of the Same Coin

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga In today’s society, the lines between love, sex, and marriage are often blurred. Sex has been commercialized and portrayed as a pleasurable act, while love is taught through upbringing and personal experiences. Marriage, on the other hand, has become a duty where two people often find themselves tied together due to sex and social prestige. Love vs. Sex Sex is a natural instinct, while love is a cultivated emotion that allows us to accommodate someone who is not ourselves. As I often say in my sessions with young adults, every creature that reproduces enjoys sex. However, it’s love that sets us apart. We can plan and work on love, tolerating and forgiving someone who is different from us. Love disciplines us on who to have sex with, and mutual desire is a design of our own making. While sex and love are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Sex is driven by inner feelings that aim to satisfy reproduction, whereas love is a choice that req...

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...

Richness is Not a Coincidence, While Poverty is a Choice

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga  Even when circumstances seem to offer no alternatives, choices still exist. These choices might be limited, oppressive, or unappealing, but they are choices nonetheless. The decision to pursue richness, unlike the circumstances that lead to poverty, is often deliberate and hard-won. Richness is not a chance occurrence; it is created. Those who achieve it have typically made conscious decisions, defying odds and pushing beyond familiar territories. In contrast, poverty often results from coerced or timid choices, stemming from situations created by those who comprehend the nature of richness. Strategies to Evade Poverty 1. Seek Opportunities, Even When None Seem Apparent : Be proactive, network, think creatively, and take calculated risks. 2. Don't Wait for Validation from Others ; Take Initiative: Self-validate, set your own goals, take ownership, and be decisive. 3. Overcome Objections and Challenges : Anticipate obstacles, develop problem-...
