These women lack prayers,reading of the bible and understanding it....they believe whatever the men of God utter is very correct and cannot be challenged
If they can seek the face of God on their own and hear from him then it would be the end of this issue

God bless u for this piece OP... This write up sets my heart on memories. Remember a certain time i was trying to date a lady, all she's saying was that, before she could say anything, i'll have to go see her pastor.

Infact, if i've to come to her house again, we'll have to meet at their pastor's house and not her house.

Infact, her pastor's involvement in her life got to an extent, she cant take a small life decision for herself, she has to consult her pastor first.

When she told me, i had to go see her pastor first to see if the courtship would work or not and some other things.

My response was that ''she will never know peace and she'll never have a way forward and God'll as well continue to punish her if she continue to let her pastor take decision for her and not use her common brain and for her pastor, God'll continue to punish that one too as well not until when he teaches u that not all every situations u bring to him''

i vexed and told her to forget every fucking thing about me.. And left her with one word..

''come back and tell me, am a bastard if after two years, u made a single progress for urself if ur pastor is still involved in ur life''

called me sometimes ago and told me ''she's tired of everything and also said, what i said were true.. Saying, she wants to see me and explain somethings to me.. Fixed her meeting for december. No time to waste on a fool

its high time women should start acting wise

I am not writing this to bash women or speak ill of them, rather I am writing this to understand the rationale behind it and maybe give a piece of advice or two.

This is common among Christians and some working class women. I have noticed that majority of them respect their pastor/boss more than their husband.

The level of Respect some of them often accord these spiritual leaders mostly can actually be said to be awesome.

The respect is so much that whatever they instruct them(women) to do they obey without any second thoughts or arguements but the case is always different if the instruction is from the husband.

Its actually good though but isn't charity supposed to begin from home?

Some women even go as far as kneeling for them in public just to show respect. Does it make sense to go about kneeling for your Pastor, Imam, Boss and atimes even for your Landlord whereas you can't remember the last time you bent half a knee or even squat for your husband at home?

That's hypocrisy if you ask me and God frowns at it.

Does it makes sense to you when you go out there, respecting your spiritual leaders, (who happens to be another woman's husband) whereas you can't show any iota of Respect for your husband at home?

Just incase you don't know, your husband is your first Boss and leader in all ramifications of Life.

Since you have no problem whatsoever, taking instructions from your Boss or spiritual leader and carrying out their instructions to the latter 24/7 then why should you argue with your husband over a few things he asks of you?

Before you go out there to display how respectful you are, please ensure you start with your husband at home.

Accord him his due respect. Let all Godly virtues you want to disply to the world at large, start from your home.

Kindly respect your husband, give him his rightful place. Asides from God, Put your husband first in all you do. It does'nt hurt or make you a lesser person.

Hmmm, a friend of mine who was a born again was a victim of this "pastor-say" stuff, it lead her to an early marriage because pastor said it is the will of God whereas she had no conviction.

Even though they had serious crisis with both family as regards the proposed marriage, the pastor advised they can even rent parents if worst come to worst or the girl can even get pregnant.

The girl was 19 years of age, knew nothing getting married to an illiterate Igbo trader was the last thing her parent wanted for their daughter but because her pastor supported it, she disobeyed her father.

After few years of marriage the man mistreated her and today the marriage is broken, now her eyes are clear.

NOTE: This is a true life story it happened to my best friend and we are still best of friends till date.

I'm not a derail type of person, you mentioned me for what idk...
Anyways I have no contribution to make to this subject because where I'm from, this problem doesn't exist. In fact, it's a challenge to get families to attend church.
The culture of respecting others is structured in a completely different way. Personally, I don't go around calling my pastor Daddy, my boss is my boss.

If I'm to be a married woman, my currency is love whereas my husband's own is respect. (Wives respect your husband and husbands love your wives). IMO it's easy for women to love but hard to show respect, it's easy for a man to show respect but hard to give love. So I won't go back and forth in a divisive manner.

The only obvious thing, is that it's obvious that marriage is not by force and that both partners must choose wisely. That he's a man doesn't mean that he warrant your respect. That she's a woman didn't mean she is worth your love. If you marry well, then this wouldn't be a problem.

ccollins:
add some Bible verses to .support. this assertion pls

mankand:
What do you expect when they have the frame in their house with the written words "Christ is the head of the family, the unseen guest and the silent listener in every meal"

Don't you understand the psychological effect it have on both the masculine and feminine? As for the man,, unconsciously he have transferred his role as the head of the family to an imaginary figure while the woman respects the imaginary figure more than the man.

Chigold101:
My brother your observation is correct but don't be in a hurry to blame women who do that.
Take it or live it, the spiritual controls the physical.
Most times the Spiritual leader has done a major work in the woman that she has no option than to respect him or her more than the husband. Always remember that respect is earned and can not be foisted on anyone.
If a husband is the one that built the woman spiritually and mentally, that husband would earn yhe woman's respect.
It is bad when a man wants respect from a woman you are not contributing anything into her mental and spiritual life. Life to a spiritual peson is more than money and "love."
Finally sir... If you want any girl's respect, become her teacher, coach, mentor and spiritual director.
I am a married man and a life coach. Women have a hig cap in their heart that love ajd money cannot fill. Only spiritual activity can solve but many men are not interested in spiritual matter, they are eithereither interested in women, football, politics or other mundane things

Always complaining even on early Monday morning ni 6.33am? Smh


anyway if you are jealous of the way your wife respects her pastor you too do the work of a pastor at home

not even thing is where is my food

AdexOmoby:


I have to first if all be sure that the men they have at homes are men who are worthy to be respected. I am not in support of those who adore their pastors at the expense of their own sense, but then men should first of all be worthy of respect before the demand it from their wives.

ThenIf a man is worthy of respect, kneeling down to greet him isn't one of such signs. Asking for his opinion in matters arising us a good sign of respect. Regrading his opinion and giving reference to him as of the home is another. Treating him with courtesy and not talking down in him are signs of respect men see and appreciate not necessarily kneeling down to greet him even if he were 59 years older.

Men correct me if I am wrong.
