Always use your head

It is written that in the end times....

"Knowledge will increase (Dan 12:4)"

But it seems to me that as knowledge increases

Understanding is diminished and ignorance dominate

Friends, pardon me if this post offends you

But I don’t understand Why someone 

will decide to handover the steering of his life

to another human in the name of "my Man of God"

I believe we are human because we have the capacity

To reason, scrutinize and make logical inference

Without this ability, we are animals or at most "Zombies"

I cannot comprehend how a human being

With the ability to relate, evaluate and criticize

decides to Judge another based on hearsay?

Why any sane person will divorce his wife of over 10years

Based on another person’s prophesy that 

she is a witch and is hindering his progress

Without analyzing such prophesy logically

This guy got married in a one room apartment

Now lives in 3bedroom flat

He married her on his "Legmousine"

Now he drives a comfortable car

could hardly pay his bills when she was married,

Today their 3 kids attend good schools.

My question is this "At what point did she become a witch?"

Which of these advancements seem to be a hindrance to his progress?

I read a story of how a "supposed man of God" raped an adolescent

Who was sent to his house for a private deliverance session

It got me wondering how empty-headed a parent will be

To send his adolescent daughter to the house of an unmarried pastor

In the pretext of "private deliverance session" without asking himself

What kind of deliverance is done privately?

As if that wasn’t enough,

Another pastor delivers young ladies

from the spirit of rejection by sucking their breasts

What aspect of this act is biblical?

Honestly, We really need to start engaging our brains.

Friends

Gods words admonishes us to

"Believe not every spirit but try every spirit (I John 4:1)"

Evaluate every prophesy, God cannot contradict himself

Know this

God is not speaking through your pastor every time he opens his mouth

Even the great apostle Paul after making a remark

in Romans 3:5 noted "….I speak as a man"

We need to apply logical reasoning to these issues

and stop living our lives based on the dictates of another human being.

That is the only way we can protect ourselves and loved ones from

These wolves in sheep clothing who call themselves "Men of God",

God speaks in so many ways. He can even send someone to you

But, try every spirit. That’s all I am saying

At 28 your pastor told you that the guy proposing marriage is not your husband.

Now you are 38 none of the men you brought in the past

was certified as your husband by your pastor

I advise you seek a second or 3rd opinion next time someone proposes

You will be shocked that their opinions will vary

Ask yourself this question

If your pastor has the statistical data of your God-ordained spouse

Why not cut the crap, give you the data and allow you

Embark on your version of "The Ultimate Search"

or in the alternative he can use the details to conjure him into your life.

If your pastor consistently told you "that guy isn't your hubby"

“this guy is not your hubby” and you have watched the same guy(s)

Get married to another and maintain a happy home(s) over the years

I believe its hightime your pastor told you the truth

Or if he is single, ask him out!

Who knows he might be discouraging you from relationships

 cos he has got feelings for you.

I have no sympathy for Men waiting on God

to throw down their wife from heaven

The day you decide to start FINDING, your problems will cease cos

It is written that "He who FINDS a wife….. (Proverbs 18:22)"

not he who prays for one

Or he whose pastor recommends a wife to

(This is not intended to disprove recommendations though)

Know this every union whether recommended by a Pope,

Pastor, Bishop, Imam or Babalawo

Will go through its "LEARNING PHASE"

this is the point where you face the reality of your spouse's personality

I tell you, in God's name this isn't so palatable

and has the capacity to break any home

If both of you do not have deep rooted affection,

a clear understanding of what you are into and

a strong determination to make your union successful.

There is nothing like "A Perfect Spouse"

If you want to get married to one

Better take an oath of celibacy

In conclusion

Christ admonishes us to "search the scriptures for in them

you think you have eternal Life" (John 5:39)

Not in the words of your pastor or spiritual leader

That is not to say you should undermine the anointed.

Have respect for the anointing but criticize all Spirits.

God's word is the only authority to a righteous living not your pastors

Most of all

You have got a brain

Use it at all times and

 Friends inspite of what any "man of God" tells you

.......    Always use your head
