IF YOUR RELIGIOUS LEADER TELLS YOU YOUR PARTNER ISN’T YOURS, WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Hey guys!! It’s been a long New York minute. Thank God it’s Friday. S/o to Tola for holding it down for me last week. We asked:  Would You Get Back Together with Someone Who Divorced You? And 52% chose > Undecided, because….. I don’t know sha, it just depends. Interesting, meaning alot of you guys will actually consider it.

A lot of times when someone decides to take the marriage leap, so many investigations take place; some low key. Families of both parties start asking questions about genotype, fertility, medical history of family, attitude of their kinsmen, tribe etc. We have debated on here about most of the things aforementioned but one thing I have noticed that people don’t really talk about is clearance from religious leaders. What will you do if after scaling all these hurdles I mentioned earlier, your religious leader tells you he/she saw a vision that the person you intend to marry isn’t your true partner?



I heard a story recently which inspired this poll. This girl’s parent told her to break her engagement with boo because the mother’s pastor said the man is not her husband. The dude in question is not a stranger to her immediate family and even some of her extended family. They have been together for a while and during the courtship, he faced no hostility whatsoever from them. Dude proposed and girl happily accepted only for the mum to drop the bombshell, months later when the wedding preparation was in earnest. She is now in a great dilemma as she can’t imagine getting married to someone else and she also does not want to get married without her parents’ consent.

It is the norm amongst some people to consult with their religious leader before making big decisions concerning their career, marriage, business etc. They consult for prayers and success in whatever venture they are about to embark on. These religious leaders in turn offer advice and prayers which is usually held in high esteem but sometimes, is it advisable to adhere to the warnings? Are they always right? I know religious leaders are meant to be revered but with the rise of the number of false prophets this days, isn’t it advisable to seek God yourself for confirmation? The same God that showed the man of God will definitely give you a sign if you are ready to do the work. Marriages are not perfect and even the ones that got clearance from religious leader still run into problems. In my parents’ church, instead of pastors being messengers of doom, they pray fervently against any evil seen in the vision concerning your marriage.

To today’s poll, if your religious leader (like the General Overseer or some top top minister) tells you not to marry your partner, stating that if you go ahead with it, so many calamities will befall you, what will you do? Are you going to throw all you have invested in time and emotions away risking a possible life time of heart break and listen to the ‘revelation’? Or will you ignore your religious leader’s warnings, pray about the situation and get married anyway?
