“Your Purpose in Life is bigger, We Need you in the World” – Adaeze Yobo’s Message to Those Facing Domestic Abuse

In the aftermath of the death of  Ronke Shonde, the married woman who was allegedly killed by her husband in Lagos, Adaeze Yobo reacted to this by putting up a message to those facing abuse in their marriage.

She said:

So sad!!! Marriage is not by force. Heck! Everybody must not marry. The society you’re worried about don’t even care about you. They are the same ones saying RIP on LIB. Pls think about it. Your life matters too. If you are in a similar situation please, please, please walk out, whatever shame you are trying to hide will still be out there. Its not worth it. You haven’t fulfilled Gods plan&purpose in your life, I beg you not to be selfish. Your purpose in this life is bigger than you, bigger than your husband, bigger than marriage. Never apologise to anyone for leaving a (physically) abusive relationship. ”Ephesians 5:25 says men should love their own wives as Christ loved the church” ~ he gave up his life for us. Then Ephesians 5:28 says husbands should love their wives as their own bodies”. The same Bible that is against divorce says in 1 Corinthians 7:15 that if an unbeliever departs, (from marriage) let him depart” then goes further to say that “a believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances, God has called us to live in peace” if your partner physically abuse you, he has departed from the marriage vows, please walk away, he doesn’t fear God and if he doesn’t fear God, he is capable of doing the worse to you. I repeat “Your purpose is bigger”, we need you in the world, don’t let the devil cut your life short. pray pray pray ??? RIP Ronke shonde?
