It is not uncommon these days to find beautiful young girls with good careers and manners, who ought to have settled down, still believing God for life partners.
Thousands of them can be found in churches praying for life partners.
Many of them are quite amiable but have never had men say a word to them about relationship, let alone marriage.
My decision to write on this issue is reinforced by a testimony read by Pastor Oso at Laughter Foundation and a testimony which Pastor Adeboye has repeated several times and has now documented it.
In his daily devotion manual, Open Heavens, of August 15, 2015, Pastor Adeboye stated, “ In the journey of life, the enemy can place obstacles in the way of a man to prevent the actualization of his destiny”.
He made reference to Haggai 1:1-2, Zechariah 4:9 and Ezra2: 1-2 in respect of God’s choice of Zerubbabel to build a house for him. Pastor Adeboye noted: “ Inspite of these facts, the enemy still put difficulties along his way to prevent him from fulfilling God’s divine destiny for his life”.
The point here is that some human beings derive pleasure is seeing others in sorrow.
Those who can stop you are usually those referred to as “ unfriendly friends “ by Pastor Kalejaiye or even relations as stated in the testimony shared by Pastor Adeboye .
They could even be siblings. This reminds me of Pastor Oso’s popular statement that it is a grave mistake to assume that “ all siblings are friendly”. He often refers to the story of Joseph and his brothers.
Did I hear you say that was a polygamous home? You are wrong.
One was privileged to witness a deliverance service at Laughter Foundation where an evil spirit spoke through a sister who was being delivered.
It was the voice of her sister who asked, “Why should she be the most successful amongst us”. In other words, her siblings were envious of her progress and decided to do something to stop her.
For years, this lady remained unmarried while the siblings got married and had children.
It got so bad that they not only attacked her spiritually but also physically.
How? They would always ask her to pay their children’s school fees giving all sorts of excuses. Consequently, they began to drain her financially.
What do you call that ? Of course envy.
If you think an attack can only come from siblings or other relations, what about mothers who, for their selfish needs, want to keep their daughters permanently out of wedlock.
Pastor Adeboye, in the Open Heavens of August 15, 2015, again referred to a testimony in which he stated that a word of knowledge came that there was a lady whose mother was obstructing her marriage and that, if she didn’t repent, she would die within a week. The daughter repeated this when she got home and a furious mother went to meet the pastor accusing him of teaching children bad things.
Of course, according to Pastor Adeboye, he asked the daughter, ‘did I mention anybody’s name?’ She replied in the negative .
After the daughter stepped out, the mother asked the pastor if it was true the person obstructing the daughter’s marriage would die. Her confession was that she was responsible for this because she would have no one to care for her when her daughter marries.
What do you call that? Selfish interest?
So, the pastor promised that he would tell the lady and her husband to continue to take care of mama after marriage. It was only then that she left her daughter off her spiritual hook.
Within a short period, the daughter got married.
One also had the opportunity to witness a deliverance service conducted by Pastor Oso in which a lady had been stopped from getting married by a spirit of vengeance.
While the service was on, and this happens every Sunday, a voice spoke from a lady saying: “Don’t rescue this lady from me, she has offended “. Of course, the deliverance service continued with the pastor using the word of God to rebuke the evil spirit.
The good news is that the lady was set free and got married.
Now if you think this challenge is for ladies alone, wait for this. Men also have similar challenges .
When you see a man in his 40s or even late 30s unmarried though he has everything it takes to get married, then you should suspect a spiritual problem.
Sometimes, relations, especially parents, attack their children with loneliness because, they fear that, once the children get married, whatever they have would be for themselves and their wives.
In other instances, it could be because they want the man, especially if he is an only son or a first son, to educate his siblings. So, they take evil steps to attack his marital destiny.
However, there are people who are victims of evil forces themselves.
A certain young man once had a disappointment.
His fiancée left him for another man.So, his worried mother went to a herbalist to help save her son from the shock of the disappointment. This was about 20 years ago. Unknown to mama, the steps taken by the herbalist also meant that the young man will never have any other relationship that would end in marriage. Consequently, as I write today, the young man, in his late 40s, is still unmarried.
However, let me borrow the words of men of God that every challenge commenced one day and would end one day.
Recently, Pastor Oso read to the Laughter Foundation congregation a testimony.
A lady, who is almost 60, just got married. Are you saying it is too late? No, God is never late.
May you not experience loneliness. Those who go through it know what it means.
Isn’t is it better to wait for your own time to settle down praying about it so that you do not make a mistake than to allow a man to use you to address his imaginary marital challenges?
Ladies who allow themselves to be deceived into polygamous marriage because the real wife cannot have children, most of the time, do not end up well.
