Nigerian Couple Burns Their Bible Due To 16yrs Childlessness by phemswag: 9:19am On Aug 21, 2014
Will the burning of the Holy Bible now cause them to have kids? Misguided frustration! A Nigerian couple in the city of Asaba, Delta State, Benson Ogwu and his wife, who have been married for 16 years without a child, took their desperation to the extreme on Wedneday as they set their Holy Bible ablaze.

The couple lives around Bonssac quarters. The couple, members of a popular Pentecostal church in the area, were angry after their high expectations of having babies were shattered by a prophet who told them they had a delay in having children because they were far from God.
Sources say the couple was married in Catholic Church, which they dumped afterwards for one of the popular Pentecostal church where accusing fingers have been pointed to the pastor for raising false prophesies.

Consequently, they claimed God has abandoned them. According to Leadership, their 'stupid' action attracted hundreds of passersby in the vicinity who were shocked beyond words.

A close to the couple said they were disillusioned after several prophets told them that the Lord was totally fed up of their Christian practice. And they were said to have sought the assistance of some native doctors, who lured them into serving his idol popularly known as “Onishe”, where they were assured they would have children within three years.

OP has already judged them in the beginning of his post. What do u mean by 'misguided frustration'? They burnt the book because it has led them nowhere. If u are routinely doing one thing and you see no changes will u keep doing it? The family must have kept a lot of hope on religion instead of working physically to fix their problem. Now that's what I call misplaced priority

Here the scripture In John 5:39 where Jesus confronts the religious notion that knowing about God is tantamount to salvation: “You’re continually studying the scriptures, taking great pains to learn all you can about God; because you think mere words are the way to eternal life. But with all the knowledge you’ve gained, you still don’t understand that these same scriptures point to Me as the only way of salvation.”

They should instead develop a personal intimate relationship with God

Lord Satan, many thanks. Today is a great day. Let us rejoice. This is only the beginning.

They should have sought medical help a long time ago. IVF might be costly but their chances of getting a child will be high.

The first step to mental emancipation. My Father desires that all who seek him seek knowledge. Yahweh the destroyer only seeks to imprison and make destitute. My Father's will is that all be free and seek comfort in knowledge and truth.
Take glory, Father. Lead this couple to your well of truth. For you who have opened their eyes to the various lies of the devourer Yahweh, will lead them to the paths of truth just like you led Adam and Eve. Ave Satanas.
