The Family Life & Relationship: Pastor Omewah’s call to restore the home

By Tony H. Smart
Family remains one of the greatest gifts God gave to humanity. It is the first institution created by God, the first environment where love is experienced, values are learned, and destinies are shaped. In a world where relationships are increasingly strained and marriages are often treated casually, even among Church leaders and their congregation, the message shared by Pastor John Omewah on “The Family Life and Relationship” on Sunday April 19, was both timely and deeply practical.
Pastor John Omewah delivered the powerful message on the importance of family life and marriage, teaching that strong homes are the foundation of a strong society. Using Matthew 19:10-12 as his main text, he explained that marriage will always come with questions, concerns, and challenges, but success comes when couples are willing to work together.
He described marriage as not a textbook, but a workbook, meaning it requires daily effort, commitment, patience, communication, and prayer from both husband and wife. A wedding ceremony alone does not sustain a marriage; what matters is the intentional decision to love and build together every day.
Pastor Omewah stressed that the family is the first classroom, first church, and first government a child experiences. Whatever happens in the home shapes the future of children and influences society. When families are healthy, churches and communities become stronger. When families are broken, society suffers.
He warned couples to guard their homes wisely, avoid exposing marital issues carelessly to friends, and prioritize their immediate family above outside pressures. Marriage, he said, is the foundation, while family is the structure built upon it.
The sermon also emphasized that marriage is not competition but complement. Husband and wife are meant to help each other grow, cover each other’s weaknesses in prayer, and become better together than they were apart. Selflessness, kindness, and understanding are key ingredients for a flourishing home.
Pastor Omewah further advised singles not to rush into marriage because of age, pressure, or finances. Marriage should be entered with wisdom, love, and readiness. Transparency is also essential, because married people cannot live like singles while expecting unity.
Drawing from Genesis 2:18-24, he reminded the church that God is the author of marriage, and His Word is the manual for sustaining it. What God designed, He also has power to preserve.
He concluded by encouraging believers that even if mistakes have been made in marriage, inviting God into the relationship can bring healing and restoration.
The overall message was clear: strong marriages build strong families, and strong families build strong nations.
