Strange but true Men and Women of God are
nowadays playing the role of matchmakers. They are becoming hook-up
specialists as well as break-up specialists. They have become masters of
the art of manipulation. Did the Lord
also give us that as part of the gospel assignment? Many spirits are
gone out into the world!!! So be careful every one.
One of the greatest
lessons I learnt from my father in the Lord was absolute neutrality on
issues of such nature no matter how the matter looks or however it is
presented to you. I learnt that lesson so well that in over twenty years
of ministry I have restrained or refrained in taking a stand whether
the sister is the will of God for the brother or the brother is the will
of God for the sister. The issue should be completely left to the
parties concerned. No man and I repeat no man should ever have a say
whether a relationship is of God or not except the parties involved. We
have reached a stage in these last days where a Man or Woman of God
becomes the ones that seek the face of God and receives the oracle of
God concerning any proposal between any two intending couple. How
totally out of line is this! Oh how I pity the brethren who submit to
such things. There is no doubt that there is always a human element and
sentiment that goes into such action.
In cases where the couples are at
loggerheads, pastors are never to take sides even when they feel an
overwhelming evidence of let’s assume witchcraft, yet no man of God is
empowered to break up any marriage on any grounds whatsoever. The
parties must still go and pray and pray and pray to resolve their issues
before God. If the parties decide to separate then let it be their own
mutual decision devoid of any pastoral or outside influences whatsoever.
Today we have a company of Men and Women of God who will not want to
lose an influential member and one who seem to give hugely into their
coffers to marry outside the local church. In the past twenty years of
my ministry I have seen these manipulative tendencies everywhere among
the men and women behind the sacred desks. Some pastors are the
obstacles to their members and God is my witness that I speak the truth.
One begins to wonder why we have so much confusion trailing many homes
today. Men and Women of God be careful, you are not called to be Hook-Up
or Break-Up specialists! None of us should ever play God or feel we
know better or are more compassionate than the Lord!
