I am not a pastor, a prophet, a spiritual leader or a judge. But today I want to assume that role and preach to you, Gloria Muliro Omba, the estranged wife to the man of the cloth, Pastor Eric Omba. Or if this message will not reach Gloria Muliro directly via this platform, I want to preach to you my reader. And even as I do so, I want to entirely rely on you to be my messenger and deliver this noble piece of advice to the songbird. So even before I pen down what is in my mind, I want to pray that God talks to you in a special way, and convinces you to deliver this message to Gloria.
So let’s pray: Our loving Father who harth in heaven, may your will be done. I pray this short prayer believing and trusting in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Acts 3:19 says, “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord”
This is the very first step to forgiveness. Pastor Eric Omba was accused of infidelity late last week by his wife of five good years, singer Gloria Muliro. This was a shocker to many of her followers. Whoever, in their right mind, thought that Gloria would be in the media talking about the agony and anguish she has been going through without the knowledge of anybody, for a record five years? Who? It would not be a surprise if someone else came out saying they were parting ways with their spouses because of infidelity.
It was just the other day that Gloria revealed that she was renewing her marriage vows with her now infidel husband, Eric Omba. This was news that made us believe the two were on the peak of their relationship. Indeed still waters run deep; and it is in still waters that you are likely to find the most dangerous aquatic living things.
Luckily, not even a week is gone and Pastor Omba is all over the media apologizing for what he has done to his wife. That alone is enough reason why we should be talking about a re-union between the two. Men are egocentric. For a man to accept a mistake, especially apologizing to a woman, it needs kingdoms to come down. However, Omba has put aside his ego and humbled himself publicly to apologise.
Isn’t he doing what Acts 3:19 requires? If yes, what is the next step?
1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
Can someone say a big Amen! That if we confess our sins, he (God) is faithful and will forgive us… This is the spirit we ought to embrace. Eric Omba has apologized his sins. If God is faithful, and can forgive, who are we not to forgive? Who is Gloria Muliro not to forgive?
I understand there are those who still don’t believe that Omba aliomba msamaha. Here is his heartfelt apology that should be disturbing Gloria wherever she is:
“My wife and I have have challanges and with Gods help we shall overcome. I am sorry for the pain i may have caused my wife and plead with her to forgive me. I have also forgiven her and ask our brethren to pray for us as i pray for a chance to meet my wife and solve our issues directly with the help of our Family members,Men and Women of God who know the real meaning of Marriage and not thrugh media. IS THERE ANYTHING TO HARD TO OUR GOD?? TRUST ME THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE WHEN WE ALLOW GOD TO RULE OVER US. May God bless you all as you pray for us.”
The doubting Thomases can still visit his facebook page and see his apology. Omba has found the meaning of 1 John 1:9, and he has done what it exactly entails.
And even as we still contemplate on this let’s see what Matthew 4:14-15 says. Here the Bible is very clear. It says, “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Does this sound like a threat to Gloia and her legion who feel let down by Eric Omba’s antics?
Well, to us, human beings, this is more of a threat but we should be conscious of the fact that the Bible does not threaten but advices and directs. The repercussions are clearly stated here. So Gloria, my dear, I know you are saved, and you wouldn’t want to contravene the Bible. So kindly do what it is saying. Who are you not to forgive?
After you have done this, Isaiah 1:18 then sets guidelines on how to go about it. It says, “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”
Who wouldn’t want their sins be cleansed? Gloria? Omba? No, none of them. I am pretty sure wherever Gloria is she is missing the sweet moments she had with her ex-husband. So is pastor Eric Omba. These are the moments that should underline their re-union. They shaped them and so they should be shaping them. They are a celebrity couple who are always in the limelight. So we should see them show a good example.
Then after doing this, Daniel 9:9 says, “The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him;”. Hallelujah. That the Lord our God is merciful and forgiving even though we have rebelled against him. Who has not rebelled against the Lord our God? If you are there, I will act Jesus and ask you to cast the first stone on Pastor Eric Omba. I want to see the first person to cast that stone. Anyone people? Anyone? Well, we have all sinned, and rebelled against the Lord our God, but he has never turned against us. He forgives us, more than 70 multiplied by 7. So who are we to judge Omba? Gloria, who are you to judge your husband if he has admitted his mistake, and wants you back, to live happily, and has promised not to repeat? Forgive him dear.
Psalms 103:12 reminds me that “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Another Amen please! The Lord has removed our sins away from us, as far as the East is from the West. These are two distances apart, very far apart. So our sins have been moved that further imagine. Gloria, the Lord has moved Omba’s sins that further, so should you, kindly.
After you have done this, these are the things likely to happen:
Mark 11:25 tells us that you must forgive so that, “When you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” And even as you pray, kindly remember to pray this way, “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins – Mathew 6:9-15”
And last but not least Gloria, “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more. Review the past for me, let us argue the matter together; state the case for your innocence – Isaiah 43:25-26”.
After you have done all these, there is long and sweet life and things to come, for the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”
And then all the nations will marvel at the doings of the Lord and say, “Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea – Micah 7:18-19”
Be blessed Gloria as you contemplate forgiving Omba, if indeed his apology is as sincere as it sounds on paper.
feeling annoyed.
