She goes to church and all-night n acts lik she is the only madam. Although her character most times r zero as she is the mouth running type

Now I want to know if I should cont prayin for her
NB
First wife has children in a seperate compound the husband comes to pass the night wit second wife

Flee from this husband snAtcher with all ur might

Well, thank God you already know the truth about polygamy.
Now, what kind of prayer did you pray for her? Did you pray for her to conceive as a second wife?

Yes I did but like I said, I knew It as wrong

Prayer 2 continue in sin or 2 b free 4rm sin?

You sound as if your own prayer determines if she would deliver safely or not

@OP

No where in christian doctrine is polygamy outlawed. All the people who go about enforcing monogamy on all christians are simply acting either out of ignorance or deliberately using "christianity" to enforce their personal (and wicked) biases against other people's choice of marriage. A recommendation was made in the bible that a man aspiring to be a bishop(an official position) should be a husband of one wife (Titus 1:6, 1 Timothy 3:2, 1 Timothy 3:12). How do you guys now translate this to become a law enforceable on all christians(or anybody for that matter). Your judging whether or not she is worthy to benefit from your prayers because of her status as a second wife is totally misplaced, and as long as she(or her husband) doesn't hold any official positions that excludes polygamy, then you are in no position whatsoever to judge her polygamy.

Again I say: All people who enforce this rule on everybody are either ignorant of outright wicked.

Pray for an enemy

Nonsense. What of polyandry? Is it outlawed too?

@op when next she asks for your prayers tell her polygamy is against your church doctrines. I suppose it is.

Why don't you show or explain to us, a christian doctrine which outlaws polygamy for general christians? A bishop is a christian office, for the select few.

Why don't you answer my question first? You're the one making all the claims

Alright. The issue of marriage is delicate and wisdom has to be applied in this case and even though she(your neighbour) is in a wrong relationship, your manner of approach to the issue matters. The bible says that wisdom is profitable to direct.
What you would do now depends on a number of things: how close both of you are and whether you have preached to her before.

When you consider these things, you would know what to do next.

If you are married, you can ask your husband what he feels about the matter.

In addition, your prayer for her should be that God opens her eyes and helps her have an encounter with Him.

Above all, ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and He'll tell you what to do. He never fails.

Thanks.

The word Christian came into existence in the new testament and none of those christians/apostles married more than one wife.

John 4:16-18.

16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”

Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

@OP,

Pls don't pray for her to conceive rather pray for the salvation of her soul. She is an adulterer heading to eternal damnation. She needs Jesus in her life. When this happens, nobody will tell her to run away from that home. The spirit of God will do the work of conviction once he takes over her life.

Don't make claims about things you can't possibly know about. The bible makes references to the possibility that some of the apostles were married but it never stated whether they had one wife or many, and your claim that none of the christians had more than one wife is a blatant lie, yes!! a blatant lie. Else Why would the apostle emphasize that a bishop should be the husband of one wife if not that there were polygamous christians amongst them?? (Titus 1:6, 1 Timothy 3:2, 1 Timothy 3:12). This your doctrine is false.

Polygamy is against her CHURCH DOCTRINE abi? Have you forgotten that Christ did not have to make anyone repent before healing them? @ OP please keep your prayer to your self. I pity the woman who thinks that your raucous vocalisation will solve her problem. Christ healed many people out of compassion not by their own merit. Self righteousness is more despicable to God than polygamy.

Don't be judgemental young man! The gift of healing is meant for everyone and there is no rationalisation in its application.

God bless you,my brother.
I do shake my head at our modern day,so-called 'christians'.Many they will be who Christ will deny on the last day.

Pray for Gods will to be done in that family

I don't need ur word. What I want is what is written in the bible. If you feel some apostles married more than one wife pls show me in the scriptures and if you can't show me, then your assumptions are not for me. If you can't understand the relationship of the scripture I quoted with this issue then you are not being sincere. Marry twenty wives if you want. That's your business but don't manipulate the scriptures to suit such an ungodly choice pls.

If there was room for us to marry more than one wife then Jesus wouldn't have made this comment in Matthew 19:9

9.  And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”

So why should Jesus condemn marrying another wife if there was room to marry more than one?

obyrich: Don't be judgemental young man! The gift of healing is meant for everyone and there is no rationalisation in its application.

The greatest healing to seek for is the healing of the soul. Salvation heals the soul that's why he should rather pray for the salvation of the woman's soul than the healing of her womb. Truth should be told at all times irrespective of whatever emotinal feelings you have for someone pls.

@OP....pls keep ur prayers. From the way u sound, ur prayers will not do any good cos ur attitude is unchristian.










$$ There is NOTHNG wrong with polygamy......

alcuin:

$$ There is NOTHNG wrong with polygamy......

It is wrong. If polygamy is not wrong why did Jesus condemn marrying another wife in Matthew 19:9

9.  And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, AND MARRIES ANOTHER, commits adultery.”

Can you cite in the bible where salvation and repentance was made a precondition for healing by either Christ or the apostles? Desist from false teaching my dear. On how many occasions in the bible did Christ demand confession and repentance from the sick and the infirmed BEFORE healing or delivering them? Do you think you are wiser than Christ?

Which healing are you talking about in this matter? You want him to pray that an adulterer will be pregnant for another woman's husband? I pity you and your christianity claims.

In fact, your prayer should be for the man to leave her and go back to his wife. Use wisdom to tell her that you are praying for her, but the other way, pray that the man in question should separate from her. She is a home breaker.

You are the one who was making assumptions without any scriptural backing that christianity forbids polygamy and I called you out for it. And you specifically said there were no polygamous christians, now you are trying to back-out by just talking about apostles only. Even at that, the only instances the bible dictates a one-wife marriage is for christians who want become bishops, an official role in the church. I ask you again: why would the apostle say that a bishop should be the husband of one wife if not that there were polygamous christians amongst them??

Obviously you fail to understand the bolded , hence all your interpretations are misguided. Jesus said: whoever divorces his wife and marries another, in other words: whoever replaces his wife with another..., It does not mean the same thing as having more than one wife at the same time.
