To Christ The Lord who in seasons of my adversity supplied me with inner strength, wisdom, and victory found in Christ Jesus to overcome the odds of divorce I endured.

And to my children—Stephen, Solomon, and Grace—who have stood with me throughout my trying times with patience and perseverance gracefully.

And to all men and women who have suffered the pain of divorce and have emerged victorious beating all the odds in alignment with the kingdom of God.

And to the men and women who are going through the pain of divorce that the message in this book may minister to your soul and be strengthened with God’s mighty power and wisdom in your inner man that you emerge victorious and become a trophy in God’s hands.

Finally, to my father, Dishan Musisi Kizito, who has been a great inspiration in my life and a wonderful example of a loving father.

Living victoriously is a choice, a decision that has to be made consciously every day.

This is my mantra!

Foreword

The most important virtue in relationships is commitment. Commitment is a decision of the heart that establishes long lasting intimate relationships. Jesus Christ proclaimed the kingdom of God in building solid relationships. Esther Sekiziyivu has endeavored to illuminate how to avoid the pitfalls of divorce. Esther has described in detail how one can overcome the scares and the pain of divorce. Experiences shared in this book will irrigate dying marriages in the world. Indeed, there is a cog of pain in divorce that we dare not overlook. Esther is personally known to me and together we have shared the pain and the joy of life. In this book, Esther openly shares her personal experiences and how the Lord Jesus empowered her to triumph and live victoriously. May the spirit of an overcomer emerge in every heart that reads this book! May struggling marriages experience the supernatural healing balm in their hearts and be made whole again. It’s in Jesus’s name, by the power of the Holy Spirit for the glory of God the Father, Amen.

I suspect when one looks back on his/her life after many years, it will be those years of marriage that bring back the most emotion. Will those emotions be sweet or bitter? I suspect the answer to that will have something to do with the elements that Esther lays out so well in these pages. Is it possible that divorce really the answer to so many marriage issues? Both statistically and emotionally, that question has been answered an unqualified no. Marriage, as described in these pages and built upon a godlike love, will be the greatest satisfaction that any man or woman will know. For truly, marriage is meant to be the closest relationship to our Heavenly Father we will ever experience on earth. Will the heaven we envision with God be any different than that in a happy marriage?

Chapter 1

Freedom

God created man and gave him the gift of freedom. Freedom determines a person’s course of action and decisions made on a daily basis how a person exercises the power of freedom projects, their thoughts and reveals the attitude of the heart. The gift of freedom in the end determines the course of events and consequences that forever impact generations. This chapter discusses the pain or joy that results from exercising the power of freedom in a marriage relationship.

Chapter 2

Choice

It is amazing how fast people forget intimate moments shared together. The enemy called selfishness and self-centeredness come in subtle ways. He creeps into the minds and hearts of married couples with little or no notice at all. Selfishness and self-centeredness corrupt the mind crippling
