Please I need a good advice from my Christian brothers and sisters

I and my wife are attending a big Church which she loves a lot,she is even the one that made me to be attending the Church. I have a calling which I'm sure of
Then late last year a fellow Christian who is a minister of God called me that we should start a ministry together, I agreed and we started working on.
The ministry is starting today and my wife is insisting that I should not go that if I go she will divorce me. She even called the man we are to start the ministry together and threatened him
Please what should I do? Help me.
Should I go ahead?

Having the gift of teaching, evangelism, prophecy, praying, intercessory or deliverance DOES NOT qualify you to open your own church. If you aren't proud, please join the church you are in now and be a worker there.

Wise woman.

If you must join the league of people dragging us back to the stone age then gracefully divorce your wife cos she's not ready to be associated with the lies you are about propagating in your 'calling'.

PERSONAL LIFE STYLE. SO GO BACK AND CONFIRM WHO CALL YOU AND BETTER CONCENTRATE WITH YOUR FAMILY TO SEE

HOW YOU WILL SERVE GOD IN YOUR PRESENT CHURCH.

Yes I informed her,my parents are even aware. They are giving their moral and even material support for my ministry, the building we want to use is even given to me by my dad
One thing I noticed about my wife is that she loves our present Church so much

See the way you are talking about a ministry where the word of God will be preached as if you are talking about a commercial business venture. You guys have lost it. You are just another aspiring business man with eyes in the tithe.

If you truly had/have a call, you would have been careful in choosing a wife.

Did God asked you to launch out on your own or you just want to do it based on your instinct?.

My sister attends a big church and she’s an active worker. Her husband got the calling from God. But you need to understand that when God calls you, the fruit will show. Even your wife will leave her church to join you. I think you’re rushing to have a ministry. Ask the Holy Spirit for direction. God won’t just jump start you into owning a church. Do you even have a small fellowship unit that is touching lives?

My in-law registered his ministry 4years ago but is still taking it little by little. Even when he wanted to start Sunday service , God said NOT YET. My sister supports him cos she’s SEEN that God’s hand is upon him. This is someone that got his calling yearssss before he registered his ministry. God is never in a hurry.

So I advise you ask HIM for direction. And ask HIM to start to use you in a mighty way. Even your wife will be convinced. Cos right now, she isn’t.

my brother you choose the wrong platform for this,
why not go to God in prayer and he wil lead you right...
I don't believe in the counsel of men especially on social media platforms, some are dream killers
I believe what you don't have you can't give,so what did you expect.......

As for your wife if she did not agree, you can't continue,because d bible tells us that you have to a settle home as a
leader in the house of God, so my bro you gat to prayer till God change your wife's heart.

Who knows maybe this man is the future Joseph Ayo Babalola or Orimolade of the blessed memory.

You have unfortunately cause this problem for yourself
1. Your wife didn't know that you might be going into the ministry. Things like this should have been discussing even before you get married.
2. You have not groomed her for her new role as a help in ministry.
3. Going into ministry isn't the same as starting a church. You can have your ministry while you are within your old church.

Note that spiritually, your Family has precedence over Ministry. Go settle your home first else, your services are in vain.

Since your ministry is in partnership with a friend. Negotiate a part time status with your wife. If she still doesn't agree, start with what you should have done with her initially. It may take 2-3 years but then, your work will not be in vain

It's one thing for u to have the call of God on you and it's another thing for you to start a church. Did God call you to start a church? Having a call does not literally translate to starting a church. Having a call does not mean being a pastor. 1Cor12:28.
It takes a lot to shepherd the flock. Have you considered that? Starting a church is exposing your wife n children to the warfront. Are they prepared for that? Is she ready to be the keeper of the flame?have u asked her what her reasons for objecting are rather than assume it's because she loves d present church. Starting a church is much ur work as it is hers. Have you acquired the necessary training to run a church? Who is your spiritual father? Who is your mentor? Have you spoken to them about this and they give you a go ahead? Have you served under someone faithfully as a pastor and d person let u go? Why can't you serve as a pastor in your present church?

Don't let pride and rebellion push you out of your present covering.
If you start a church without peace in your home, devil will mesmerise you. Family is the first institution God established and He doesn't play with it.
Set your priorities right. Be sure God is leading you to start a church. Be sure the person you are starting it with is led by God. Be sure of your reasons which must be souls and not to exploit people. Be sure you have the backing of heaven else OYO is your name. Be sure your present pastor is aware of your move, you need his blessings. Next, pray to God to sort out your wife. He called you so He knows how best to make her align to the call. If God called you, He will equip you n be there for you all the way.

The voice that called u, abeg how did it sound. We want to know if it is actually God's voice.

One Bible with one teaching, too many ministries with different doctrines.

Am beginning to rethink that all this shit called Christianity is a farce scripted by some confused Romans who needs mark of supremacy and dominance from humanity.

Though I am a born Christian but all the incompleteness of the entire story is full of confusion.

Now God created Adam and Eve, they gave birth to Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel , God decided to banish Cain and he pleaded that he does not let his enemies to harm him.
Now God placed a mark on him and cursed any one that tried to strife with him.

My puzzle and humble question is who is Cain's enemy. the land he was banished to, who founded and who born the ppl dwelling there. Cain got married to who?
Because the last time I checked, Seth was born as the 3rd child to Adam and Eve.

We know the Noah story also. Only one of his sons took a wife b4 the destruction of the world with water.
Ham was cursed and they claimed he is father of Blacks. My question is who did Ham marry to reproduce.

I can say I study my bible so someone should help me to fill the blank spaces in Bible

you can't just wake up oneday and decide to open church. Did you talk to your pastor? Who is your mentor ? If truly God called you as you have claimed. Your 1st move should be with your pastor before going to set yours . You think being a pastor is a title? Well, sometimes it's not. You have to be prepared for the worst in the ministry. #my2cents cheesy
