Scripture Base: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

“Love is patient and kind, never jealous, boastful, proud, or rude. Love isn’t selfish or quick tempered. It doesn’t keep a record of wrongs that others do. Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting. Love never fails! (1 Corinthians 13:4‭-‬8 CEV)

Introduction:

God ordained relationships for Humans to grow in love, and to be supportive of each other. Therefore, any relationship that is not mutually beneficial, tends to abuse.

Abuses escalate if it is not nipped in the bud.

Everything about humanity began to deteriorate and degenerate when ‘Man’ in Adam chose to use his volition to obey satan and disobey God. (Read Genesis chapters 1-6)

It is rather sad that most women get killed within a short period of leaving their abusers.

Although it is wise to leave an abusive relationship, It is wiser still, to confront the root causes of the abuse before or after leaving the relationship. 

When we confront the forces of evil who are using relationships to dehumanize and destroy humans, we enforce the victory of the Cross and restore  relationship to God’s original intentions. 

Definitions:

According to WEBMD, “An abusive relationship is a term that describes any relationship where one person exerts power and control over the other in a negative way. Abuse can be physical, but it can also be emotional, verbal, financial, or any other type of behavior that keeps one person under the control of another” (WEBMD)

Biblically, Abuse involves the misuse of power on another person or group of people (See Genesis 16:6,1 Samuel 2:26. Ezra 5:12), sexual mistreatment (Judges 19:25), persecution (Matthew 6:44), reviling (Luke 6:28, 1 Peter 2:23), Physical violence (Acts 16:19), threats (Ephesians 6:9), or speaking evilly (James 4:11).

Reasons for condoning abuse:

Ignorance, lack of self-esteem, emotional and economic dependence, fear of death, the circle of abuse (confusion), religious, cultural and societal pressures, tired of trying to leave, gaslighting, hoping things will change for the better, or because of the children, etc.

Although there are carnal Christians who are abusive, the fact remains that only the power of God can transform an abuser to a selfless, and loving individual.

Because abuse is ingrained sinfulness, and sin gives access to demons who utilizes the opportunity to steal peace, kill joy and destroy humans, it is important to confront abuse also with Spiritual therapy (deliverance).

To pray effectively, you must understand that both the Abused and the abusers are victims of satan.

And Through spiritual warfare, we can neutralize demons, paving the way for the character development of both the abused and abusers. 

Healings and deliverance for both the abused and abuser will also involve observing the Christian Daily Discipline
