Can fasting stop a woman from performing her conjugal right. Men and women of God here should tell us what is right.

: BATTLE 2 As soon as Kehinde left for work, I decided to take his matter to God in prayer. I went on my knees and was lost in prayer for the next four hours. ''Father, defend me in my marriage, cast out every demon that has possessed my husband's heart''. Proverbs 21:1 says, "The king's heart is in the hand of the lord, he turns it whichever way. Oh God turn my husband's heart away from sex and all things of the flesh during these 100 days of fasting, in the name of Jesus. Towards the end of my prayer, I suddenly got an inspiration from the Holy Spirit on what to do next. There was no point trying to tell Kenny he could not have sex with me, I only had to use wisdom to avoid it by doing things that will not even get him interested. So I decided not to have my bath the whole of that day. I knew how much Kenny liked me bathing and all clean. By the time he got home around 7pm that day, I made sure dinner was ready. I could not have been more wrong because another argument ensued as soon as he came in through the door. ''Madam, have you sorted out your issues yet?'' he said. ''What issues Kenny? Please come and have your dinner''. ''Did you think I was joking? Did you think not taking your bath will work on me? Or you did you think I will not know you enough to know that not taking your bath is a tactic to avoid sex?'' I was quite shocked and kind of speechless that he immediately realized what my plan was. ''Kenny, please be understanding. I need to consecrate myself to God''. I resorted to begging instead. ''Lola, get it straight, I am not asking you not to fast. What is wrong with having sex between 6pm that you break your fast and midnight that the next day starts? That is all I am asking'' he tried to negotiate. ''I am sorry Kenny, I don't believe that is good enough. I am supposed to be consecrated for 100 days. Having sex during that time just makes me feel unclean''. I explained. ''What is unclean about sex between husband and wife babe? It is totally biblical'' ''See Kenny, you just need to be patient. I have just 85 days left and then we can go back to doing the dirty''. ''Let me tell you something Lola, this is the last time I will have this discussion with you. If you cannot find a way to balance your marriage and fasting, then you just might not have a marriage to come back to after your 100 days''. ''What do you mean by that Kenny? God forbid such confession?'' I said immediately. Kenny left me standing there and went into the room. My surprise was complete later that night when he moved most of his things to the guest room. I was going to beg him but I just later decided it was for the best if he stayed in the guest room for the next 85 days. This was probably God's way of creating a solution for me. I went on my knees that night and sang in gratitude to God for making a way for me where I thought there was none. By day 60 of my fasting and prayer, I was officially frustrated. The joy and excitement I got from fasting and prayer had gone. Kenny and I had become total strangers in the house. He had not eaten my food in over 6 weeks and I was officially worried. He had started coming home quite late and we did not even talk anymore. Every time I tried to talk to him, he just shut me out. We both went to work and came back and went into separate rooms. I did not even know where to start from. I knew for a fact I had not done anything wrong and was just doing the best for our marriage and I wondered constantly why Kenny was so blinded by unreasonable rage. I wondered where all the promises of not going to bed in anger went. I finally reached the end of my rope that week when I got a text from him around 8pm saying, ''Don't wait up for me. I wont be coming home tonight''. I could not believe my eyes and I immediately sent him a text saying, '' Where are you? Why wont you come home?'' His reply made me burst into tears. ''Please ask the holy spirit to reveal it to you in prayer'' My marriage is in trouble. Ask for the next one if you need it.

Things are really happening in this world. read and give your opinion.

What's your opinion? A young upwardly mobile and hardworking man who has been working for a popular photocopy manufacturing company based in Fatai Atere street, Lagos was finally given a car (repayment through deduction over 4years). This did not come on a platter of gold as he has been denied severally of the opportunity, but for RIGOROUS FASTING AND PRAYING with tremendous support from the wife! On the very day the car was released to him (a Thursday), he was seen to have given a lift to a very pretty woman at oshodi enroute home at about 4:25pm. This young man got home at about 7:30pm to show the car to the wife. He left the car key with the wife to examine and admire while he goes into the house to freshen up. He ran out of shower upon alarming shouts from neighbours of "fire, fire, fire",! Alas, his new car had been set ablaze by the wife! When asked why, she said that her husband was spotted at Oshodi at 4:25pm giving a lift to an unknown woman in a brand new car which she is yet to put her butt on its seat. And the person who saw them had since returned over an hour ago despite taking a public transport! Her submission is that since that is what the husband needs the car for (instrument of fornication and adultery), they are better off without it! She therefore bought 4litres of petrol ahead the arrival of her adulterous husband to set the car ablaze! End of story! In his response, the husband thanked everyone present, took note of them and promised to invite them when the issue is ripe for discussion! Most of the neighbours left with mixed reactions! Some condemning the woman's actions and others saying he deserved what he got! On Saturday, the wife's elder sister who lives around Kola bus top came visiting with the husband, and was surprised to see the burnt remains of Brand New Toyata Highlander Jeep! Upon enquiries, the husband sent for some of the neighbours as promised and when all were seated, he asked the wife to tell her story! After ranting and calling her husband different indecent names, she gladly repeated it as said on that day! Instead of saying anything, the husband asked the sister-in-law to comment! The woman explained that on that very Thursday at the said time at oshodi, she was walking on to see if she can get a cheaper bus when suddenly a brand new car parked by her and the driver was her sister's husband. He gave her a ride and her insisted on dropping her off at home where he eventually stayed for almost an hour to see if her husband will return to meet him. But since the husband did not return on time, she promised him of their return visit that Saturday since it coincided with the wife's birthday! Now that the car is already burnt on the assumption that the husband is adulterous, HOW DO YOU ADVISE WE SETTLE THIS ISSUE! Please give your honest and candid opinion!
