MR/MRS RIGHT DELUSION

MR/MRS RIGHT NOT ALWAYS LIKE THE MOVIES.


Over the years, spanning into decades; animated movies, dramas (movies) and society has painted the picture of Mr and Mrs right into our psyche (mind). Every girl and boys dreams of Mr Right and Mrs right who will fit into their world like a square peg in a square hole.

After discussing with a lot of females and males, I realise, that the Mr Right and Mrs right search is not necessarily the search for someone that will fit into the searcher's life or world, but most times , it's the search for some one that can compliment.

The qualities that defines a Mr Right differs from person to person after all, one lady's meat is another lady's allergy. The criteria for defining a Mr Right or Mrs right is psychologically due to the upbringing (home)  and the  environment (his or her community).
I rephrase: "one girl's tout is another girls Prince Charming"
So we can now group people's perspective of Mr and Mrs right into two:
  • A woman or a man that has same dispositions, character, upbringing, education, religion, social standard etc as you. Or
  • Someone who possess what the searcher is in need of or lacks. For example: height, wealth, complexion,  education, fame etc. 
I have come across very fare complexioned girls who clearly made their dislike for dark complexion men known. They can never see them selves happy with someone who is opposite what they are. In education wealth and skin colour. 

Who is Mr and Mrs right?:

He is someone that makes you feel fulfilled and happy. Someone you can journey the ends of the earth  for and he will also do likewise. Some one who is prepared to genuinely live with you and be with you. But a lot of people later get disappointed even after their Mr or Mrs right is delivered in shining packages. 

People later discovers that the illusion of Mr and Mrs right being hundred percent perfect is but a mirage. Why? Because they just discovered that their Mr and Mrs right has some baggage, weakness and shortcomings too bad to condole.

Is it actually too big to condole? The answer is no,  but our disappointment and shocked makes us quit on the right man instead of helping them to grow a new and better stem.



A soon to be married man said to me: "Sir two heads are better than one, they have double reward"

Ecclesiastes  4:9  Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

This is true if it is actually two head and not half-half head. A pair of one has to come together to form two not halves because it is two pairs of half (four halves) that gives two.  That scripture simply means two whole spouse are better together that one (half head plus half head).

With my little experience and walk with people, I have come to realise that most people are fully qualified as one or whole when it comes to physical  body structure. but in the issue of life and matters of positive ramification growth, they are either an half, quarter, or a big minus.

Note
Your happy ever after is as a result of how well you have worked on your self to be that woman worthy of a man (Mr right), who has also worked on himself. Knowing that a boat is only kept afloat by those who have learnt to sail.

This is the reason for a lot of short term relationship. Someone you know, maybe a family member. Calls you up and say: have found the one (joyfully screening), he is a real gentleman, he took me on a tour, cares about my feelings and is always looking to pacify them. He is God fearing and respects the women,  He always has a sexy way with words, he is a charmer!

Two months into their marriage or relationship, he or she calls back saying: "can I stay at your place for some time until I sort things out? you are like "what happen, what about your husband?" "it was all a lie. I made a mistake OK." Then she will complain about all weakness that are now appearing but not appealing. How funny, you saw his strength and you married him, saw his weaken and you took to your heels.

Singles think singlehood is a time to goof around, party, get drunk and jump from one bed to another (sex). They make little or no positive impart on their mind. Am not talking about the impart of a university degree because statistics has it that  the educated are also going through the trauma of divorce.

This is because we have this demented mind set that Mr and Mrs right is not human rather he or she is an angel. We end up placing them on that pedestal, and later when their humanity starts to bleed through, we quit as though we are exceptional.

We also have this mentality that relationship with a man or woman will make thing better for us. that is, will fix what we are going through. We look at people with spouses and we conclude that spousal is the root of his or her happiness. Then we jump on the next train to happy never after. 

We forget,  that what ever comfort we think we saw in the couple we looked at, is all work upon work.  Every couple no matter how shipshape their relationship is,  also has times that storms rocks their boat. Because they have done their due diligence in their singlehood, they  find a middle ground where both of their  baggage becomes easy to condole and your partner actually becomes an angel.

Just maybe his money was what made you qualify him as Mr Right and at the end of the day, you realised he is as cold as a corpse or he is very physically abusive. No matter how wealthy, caring a fool is, a fool is a fool. Folly is psychological.

What is the real or appropriate definition of Mr and Mrs right?

He or she is someone you can live with, someone you can condole his or her excesses. This is what makes them-right for you verse versa.
*before that person comes, work on your self so as not to lose them with your unpruned dispositions.*

READING THROUGH YOUR PASTOR'S EYES AND MIND




READING THROUGH YOUR PASTOR'S EYES AND MEDITATING THROUGH HIS MIND

Study to shew thyself approved. unto. God, a workman that needeth not to be. ashamed but rightly dividing the word of truth. 
2 Timothy  2:15

For as long as I can remember, I have been under the hold of: reading the Bible through a pastors eyes and understanding passed down every service and meditating on God's word with their mind. You will best understand what I mean by this statement as we proceed.

Have not realised that there are some question you are asked and the only answer you can give is what you where told and not what the Bible says? And if you go to the scriptures to defend it, all the scriptures you will lay your hands on to use will be scriptures you will have to bend to suite the purpose you picked it? 

The word of God today is now read as religious routine. 90 percent of Christians don't read the word the way it should be read. According to Paul , in 2 Timothy, it is the word (Jesus) that presents us approved unto God. 

Why ask Timothy to study? No matter what heresy is being practised,  the word of God is the standard at which all truth is proven. 
But funny enough,  Christian are not actually finding what they should find in the word. Because this system has unconsciously conditioned them into reading the Bible to prove their pastors right. Meditate on the scripture through their pastors point of view. 

I confronted a brother who was never absent in church but never present for the word.  This guy heard series of messages on how God can change your finances through practical service in the place of worship.
With this mind set, this young man goes to the house of worship (church)  and stays in the rest room (bathroom), attending to people using the bathroom from the service inception to close.
I asked him: "Sir what is the essence of coming if you didn't hear the word of Christ which I know nowadays has diminished".

These Christians will never leave darkness because every verse taken out of context is written down by them and they follow suit when they get to their homes. Have heard pastors quote Bible verses which I later found out was taken out of context.
Because it sounded good and excited you, doesn't make it true. It's a pity that Christian are now excitement junky and sudden wealth (packaged as God's favour) fanatics.

How can an average Christian seek God genuinely at home when the pastor's view of the scripture is written down and swallowed more as pills in their houses. And have heard some of them say: "my pastor can never be wrong". What a loyalty to a mare man. And God said: "my glory will I not share with any man". Be wise because we have indirectly and unknowingly to us put God to the side.

There is a woman who doesn't have food to eat and also give her kids but she has been indoctrinated that God needs her last 300 hundred naira in order to look her direction for help.  Jesus said:

Matthew  11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

I realised this circle when I found out that when you have been submerge into this indoctrination, you will always have preconceived notions, a purview within which that scripture we are reading is being understood. We hear based on what we have have been told as perfectly indoctrinated, religious persons.

For example, the scriptures  
Romans  10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
That verse have always been taught to us in the light that every time you read the word of God faith comes. Contrariwise, when I started my Whatsapp group, an issue occurred which had me thinking. 

There was a young man who said in one of our discussion that he is an atheist. He rubbished a lot of Christian practices and beliefs. As Christians, we tried to debunk what he was saying.
Then someone opined that if he had been going to church, and read the word, he would have understood (rom10:17).
This young man immediately replied: "I was born and bred in church". Mmmmmmm

After the chat I wondered what was his issues then this same verse Romans 10:17 came to mind and I realise I had been Privilege by the spirit before that time to actual know what that place was saying against the popular explanation. 

That verse never said faith cometh by hearing the word of God because there are people who have heard it and are worse than before they heard it.  Rather the verse says:
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
If the underlined portion is what is in your Bible,  then it means faith cometh by what the word of God communicates to an individual per time. That is what it mean to hear by.  In simple terms,  faith cometh by what the scriptures you read ministers to you. So it is evident that there is "a hearing by the word".

There is a lot God wants to show and lead you into please don't rob your self of such opportunity.

Lastly, I heard a pastor say during a Sunday service to his members which I once was. " any Christian who doesn't engage in tithe paying is going to hell". I kid you not, he said it. I was shocked when I heard it.

Imagine the level of apostasy taught in the church. 
Imagine those Christian reading the word of God in that evil light imprinted in their mind. 
An American guy communicated with me saying he had to leave the church for some years to detox from all toxicity and apostasy that has been passed down to him.

A pastor told me that to dedicate a child you must come with something that has life. I was shocked. But his church is practicing it.

Stop reading the scriptures to prove your pastor right or wrong. Shot down down on what are taught and as you read and find out truths that has been long shrouded in deception,  you will start to connect all the dots of omissions and inclusions of men in the preaching you hear. 



I leave you with this powerful scripture 

Matthew  24:5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  

Matthew  24:11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Thank you.

RELIGION IS CHOKING MY CHRISTIANITY







I can't do it any more, It's now time to quit.
Sadly For years have tried to be a man that plays by the rules. the rules of family set by the elders, the rule of society set by the government; which I understand else disaster runs unchecked. Have been a good son and at least an A citizen. 

Shockingly, I still don't understand why i always feel small before the rules and regulations that has been preached to us by denominational system.  Why does religion seek to kill me. Religion seeks to bow my knees and head to a man.

Religion is when the church tries to play God in the life of God's children. making me search for what has been found and given freely in Christ. 
The commandment I understand, the scriptures I grasp and love but religion? man made religion? I can never figure out.

Religion always questions my faith in God and my love for him.
For example I was lead by the spirit years ago to leave a church and join another simply for my  spiritual growth. Following instructions, I was branded traitor, judged on every side by the congregants of my previous church treated me as though I back slided. with religion, every day is something new to be guilty for, Something new to atone for because it is regulated by men and for men.

They parade them selves as flawless making me small everyday, my uprightness regardless. Christians indoctrinated by men who are flawed but self-claim flawlessness.
I want God to deal with my heart wash me and make me perfect.  Structure me in his will

Jeremiah  18:3
Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.  18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 

18:5
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 

18:6
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Why are these rules preached and upheld as though the rules died for you and I. Am not talking about the commandments and God's rule. Am talking about man's inclusion in this way of life. Religion claims supremacy of one denomination over another, one pastor over the other and raises members that will fight to defend their church and their man of God as against Bible narratives.

A pastor receiving incessant calls for prayers from members living very far away was reprimanded by one of his member as to why the members can not go to God themselves. The pastor replied and said: "you I am their man of God so when I show up and pray, God hears faster and better or it engenders speedy answers".
With such mindset are Christians enslaved to worship men.
We call our selves free but still we chose to be under a selected slavery, a yoke that has made you worshipers of men who worship money and fame.

James  5:13  Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.  
James  5:15  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

With the above scriptures, I don't need anyone to pray to my father but if my faith isn't strong enough I can call on fellow brethren to go in agreement concerning the situation.


I can't take it anymore else I break, I need to speak my heart,
 you can tag me controversial, hypocrite; I don't care because I can feel something dying in me.
My Christianity isn't getting better and my God is pulling away. Every time I try to live by your standard, every time your religion take hold; my salvation becomes insipid and cold. God doesn't get closer but farther. Am tired, There must be a better way. 

This was my taught: why will the Holy Spirit which is easily grieved live in the inside of me and not by me?
Ephesians  4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
At least living outside will reduces the chances of grief.
Why? Why doesn't he just live outside and instruct us the same, why?

John  14:26 
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Just imagine your school class teacher living inside you,  this will be the prevailing happenings

  1. The teacher will not assume that you grab what he or she is teaching while you dont
  2. The teacher will have to know you on a personal level after all he is in you
  3. The teach will have to understand you
  4. The teach will know the pace at which he must lead you etc
I think it is because he want to know us on a personal level so as to better lead and help us at a pace That Won't kill us.

I have decided to only live by his word which have seen to be  in alignment with scriptures, find out the omissions, and put away every of your inclusions:
Matthew  4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

No more religion, no more
No more will I be strong armed to shout at the top of my voice when I pray. Hannah was not told to pray the way she did at Shiloh it came naturally due to her pain. Notwithstanding, scriptures kicks against this:
Matthew  6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
No more will I allow this system to make me feel guilty as though when I missed a church service, I missed God and am doom. No more

No more will I look down on my self and feel sad because I had nothing to drop in the offering basket. I have seen people who stayed at home from service because of lack offering.
After all, theses men preach out of context the below scriptures

Exodus  34:20
  . . . And none shall appear before me empty.

No more.

NO GOD ORDAINED CHURCH



Text: Mat 16:18(KJV) “…. And upon this rock I will build my church; and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it"



It is not just enough that we are Christians but most importantly we must practice the original gospel as it was passed down by the Lord Jesus to the Apostles and to all who will believe in is name in all times and ages without addition or subtraction from ministers 1John 1:1 to 3(NLT) . I like you to know that Christianity is not the whole Bible (in as much as we have a lot to learn from it) but the Gospel of Jesus Christ; because not everything in the Bible is profitable or in agreement with the Gospel of Peace.

The greatest issue confronting the church has not been the gate of hell, bad government or other religions it has always been the greed in the heart of church leaders and ministers. This greed has cause many traditions which are not scripturally supported by the gospel of Jesus Christ to be taught, being pass down from so called spiritual fathers to their spiritual sons as against the words of Christ 

in ,Mat: 23:5 to 11(NLT) “…..everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels. And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues. They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called Rabbi. Don’t let anyone call you Rabbi, for you have only one teacher and all of you are equal as brothers and Sister. And don’t address anyone here on earth as “Father” for only  God in heaven is your Father. And don’t let anyone call you Teacher for you have only one teacher, the messiah. The greatest among you must be a servant. 

These leaders are indoctrinating their followers after the greed in their heart, teaching things that the Gospel warns us about.
 Jesus Christ never said I will build my churches he said “…. I will build my church”. 
we all must understand that the church is not a building or denomination. What we call church today is no more than an assembly centre. When Jesus said “…. I will build my church”  he meant you and I.

I want you to know beloved that any gathering that is loyal to the message of Christ and acknowledge him as Lord and Savior is his body no matter where they are located or what nation they are. So any minister advocating division in the name of denomination or tells you that his denomination is your God ordain church should be accursed. There is no such thing as your God ordain church or your God ordain minister, every of such message is unscriptural and no more than lies from the pit of hell. 

The body of Christ is being mocked, prosecuted, ridicule and weakened because of this division. For a believer to travel from one town to another and not join other believers in that locate for fellowship just because his or her denomination is not in that area is antichrist and demonic.
Few years ago while I was still in the polytechnic I notice that certain believer will only come out for our morning devotion simple because the brother or sister leading us that day does not belong in their denomination this is demonic and against the word of Christ in Mat.18:20 Jesus said “…where two or three are gather in my name there I am in the midst of them” He never said where certain denomination are gathered. The struggle for supremacy among church leader and ministers is so ungodly that material possession and amassing of wealth is now the essence for their various ministries.

 Another abominable tradition is that when a person leaves a particular gathering you begin to notice that members of that gathering start treating the person as an enemy. 
Any minister that forbids you from listening to other ministers or advocates what Jesus or the Apostles did not practice or teach is nothing but an antichrist and such minister should be avoided 1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but  whether they are of God because many false prophets are gone out into the world (KJV).  Any minister that advocate what Jesus and the Apostles teaches and practice is a servant of God. Beloved there is only one Church, one savior, one God, one Baptism, one Father, one faith and one Spirit anything added is antichrist.

Finally in Eph. 4:11 to 15 now these are gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s son that we will be mature in the lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. (NLT) from the above scripture we see clearly God’s intention for the five fold ministry. Therefore no ministry can truly bring you to maturity in the faith without the present of the five fold offices. 

Ministers are God’s gifts to the church all over the world not to a denomination Jer. 3:15 and I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding (KJV). Your perfection and maturity as a believer come from listening to the five offices not your denomination so if you have being advocating division it time to stop and start speaking the truth in love; I employ you to think on this things God bless you.

DON'T SWALLOW HOOK LINE AND SINKER

.


The church has become a privatized community as against the biblical narrative and a lot of errors  are perpetrated in the name of practicing Christianity. The Emergence of fallacies that have no biblical base but human finger print all over. Which begs question which we will be treating in this blog.

 I hate the fact that the people and Christians of this Generation are not as enlightened as they should be and swallows everything hook line and sinker even to their own detriment.

Christians nowadays have been programmed by this church system to think that the litmus test for what we practice and don't practice in this kingdom is what their so-called men of God say or do. 

Christians have been brain washed to feel that asking questions and contesting non biblical practice is heresy against God Himself, what an error.



Every time they take the pulpit, ninety percent of these egocentric men have their ego and love for worldliness preached as the word or message from God.

I heard one of these arrogant men say he is  accountable to God and not to men. rightly said but not when you teach, practice and dwell in error.
As long as the greed and non biblical practice continue there will always be questions.

Don't forget that Jesus our example never shied from questions, he entertained and answered all even those they thought of (Matthew 12 vs 10, Mathew 20 vs22, Matthew 22 vs 23, mark 7 vs 5) these verse goes on and on. Never for once did Jesus turn the people away but he answered so well that the people became out of questions at some point. 

Matthew 22 vs. 46 and no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more question.

This question and answer opportunity was not only restricted to the Pharisees and Sadducees but also, his disciples asked question as well to clear their own confusion (Matthew 17 vs 10.)

When I analyzed these questions, i realized they were questions that demanded from Jesus reasons and purpose of what he did and practice. Most so-called minister of the Gospel goes into attack mode when they are questioned about their ways which doesn't go in line with scriptures.

Sadly so, they also take the prerogative to bend the scriptures to suit their obsessions because as we know the scriptures is the only book that is powerfully relative in all ways and it bends around issues and things to solve issues or effect peace. Only God has the allowance to bend his word. 

Every Christian holds his or herself the duty to search and find out for themselves the ancient but modern paths, the old but current instructions.

Acts 17 vs. 11 these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

In light of the above scripture pardon me to assert the following: Nobility in this kingdom is birthed on  how dogged you are in the scriptures, not easily deceived and always testing teaching to sieve off shaft
2 Peter  2:1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

How do you know an heresy if you are not one who has come to the conclusion according to John's warning that all spirit (teaching)  must be tested. Although some men of God has good intention for what they crop up eg. Deeper life founder: pastor kumuyi who concluded in a teaching that he was going to crash most of the entanglement he brought on his congregants because according to him, people focused on those entanglement than they do God. 

1 John  4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit (doctrines, teachings), but try the spirits (doctrines, teachings)  whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.




Paul called them noble (Act 17) not because they were his audience who sat to hear him preach , rather they were not ready to just take a mans word for it, they went searching the word of God which is the laboratory test for all Christian teaching.

We must start to wake up and understand that no matter how pragmatic, acrobatic or emotional a message is; doesn't make it from God.

Submission enthrones

SUBMISSION ENTHRONES. Most women wonder what the root of their husband being obstinate is. She can't figure out why the man...
