FASTING:
I have heard stories of women who fast and in turn stay away from their husbands in order to stay holy because the pastor/prophet said so. Stories of women who denied their husband sex and call their pastors to take permission before they can make love to their husbands. Sacrilege!!!
I am of the opinion, that before a woman engage in some spiritual journey, that would affect the home, she needs total permission from her husband and not her pastor, and if her husband says no and her pastor says yes, that pastor and woman are in the danger of hell, because he has strayed into another mans domain which is protected by the law of God.
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God- 1 Corinthians 11:3
The decision of your pastor is in no way supreme to that of your husband, unless he claims to speak from God, and how do you tell he speaks from God and not his own belly?
If your wife chooses to fast on her own and stay away from you because it is laid in her heart by God and not her pastor to do so, then you as a husband respect her decision, because she loves and see's you as a force strong enough to distract her spiritually, that isn't a bad thing if it were me I would be turned on by that decision.
Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered- 1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her- Ephesians 5:25
This piece is in no way written to discourage you or discredit pastors/prophet, but a red light check beep on how we handle our spouse and spiritual life.
Remember if you change churches or pastors it is nothing, it won't be counted for a sin, but if you have a broken home and change husbands it is everything, and base on the circumstances you could have sinned against God and man.

t is ridiculous bro. Many woman even call their pst daddy $ oda sweet names whereas dey arrogantly address dia husbands by his name. Some are personal driver to dia pst, folowin him to all day $ 9t program while denyin ur man of ur presence. Well, I blame men wey dey tolerate such nonsense
ReplyDeleteWithout the permission of the husband she would end up in hell!!! I happen to have a fiancee who squarely understands that! She knows I won't say no, but she takes permission days ahead before she even goes to an all night or church program. When I even get to compalin that madam this church is getting too much, she is quick to remind me that when we get married I have full control over her, but she knows I won't come between her and her God! So if a woman I am yet not married to understands this, I don't know what some old mama are doing in their matrimonial homes!!!
DeleteGOD himself knew very well we r supposed to worship HIM bt he stil set dos rules of family engagement $ order. But many now behave as ones wiser dan d GOD
DeleteWell spoken dearie. You see we say in Owerri that "eji eshi uyo mara mma fuma ama" meaning same as charity begins at home. Even the scripture asked how we claim to love God when we don't love our fellow men. In the same way I ask,how can a woman claim to honor God when she doesn't honor the husband. The people involved in this do not even have genuine repentance,they only play church 'cos I believe that every true believer will regard and honor her husband.
ReplyDeletethe pastors are now incharge of the church and the respective homes of their members, the head of the church is christ and the head of the woman is her husband not the pastor! but nowadays when a pastor says something and the husband differs, men na wahala oh! the wife go just assume say the husband na devil
ReplyDeleteIts appaling when women, go as far as kneeling for their spiritual leaders even in public, but can't squat half a knee for their husbands in the Home.
ReplyDeleteSome even go as far as preparing mouth watering meals for their spiritual leaders while their husbands and kids ends up looking malnourished and their spiritual leader looks robust.
My spiritual leader is another woman's husband for God's sake. My husband is God's Deputy in my life, after God its my Husband before any spiritual leader and that's how it remains.
some women just dey vex me. How can you seek your pastors permission on the sex style to give your Husband and howmany times you should sleep with him in a month?
"My spiritual leader is another woman's husband for God's sake. My husband is God's Deputy in my life, after God its my Husband before any spiritual leader and that's how it remains" Bless you for that line!
