Some Pastors are good storytellers sha! Is it not wonderful that a divorce is giving relationship advice to the singles?
That part I decided to turn a blind eye entirely to. Imagine someone in her second marriage— not even first — yabbing her friend for choosing to remain single. 🙄🙄

Your friend is probably luck she did not engage any of those men you introduced to her. Those Passport-brothers you introduced to her would have likely led to the death of her or her regret in marriage. undecided

A woman should remain single rather than running around filled with regret in marriage. Africans still have not normalized divorce, so it is difficult for many to get out once they are imprisoned in such situations. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed



On another note, something tells me that this woman telling this story is herself a single-married woman, seeing as she is all wrapped up on tales of Boaz and all that religious nonsense— religious delusions —, while openly demeaning her friend for having standards. angry
Whenever I read your takes on marriage and relationships, I see frustration written all over it. The fact that you missed out on marriage shouldn't make you this antagonistic of the institution of marriage!

I have never seen you type anything positive about marriage! It's either you're deceiving younger girls to remain unmarried or you're encouraging divorce! I pity any lady who would take relationship counsels from you!

@topic, ladies should try to loosen up and stop being too strict when it comes to choosing a marriage partner! Provided the man is not evil, is hardworking (even though he may not be so wealthy yet) does not have some bad genes and is teachable, ladies should learn to cut down on all the long lists they expect from MR RIGHT. Of course, this advice is for ladies who desire to be married.

Marriage, like every other human relationships, thrives on genuine commitments to make make things work. One should be ready to forgive one's partner over and over again, to teach and learn every day and to be devoted to making the marriage work. There's no perfect man or woman anywhere! This is why for me, what I try to look out for in a lady (aside being physically attracted to me) is her readiness to forgive, to learn and to teach.

Let me comment my reserve.

But they are extremely stubborn, primitively barbaric in their thinking, egocentric attitude and holier than the pope. But na lie.

They are heady to a fault. Most of them are the root cause of their own problems and when they get stocked, they will result in becoming a self acclaimed prophetess.

They have more than a dozen advisers at a go and they keep to many things secretive and even suspect everyone around them. Lastly they want you to hate those they hate and always want to have their way in everything they do.

Extremely rigid fellas that are not ready for life challenges until their useful time is swept away.

Imagine the one wey dey here , pastor help am find partner and she told the pastor that God has not spoken to her.

Another one find am come from obodo oyinbo , she quarell that one talk say the man no dey call am wella. Awon set alaifekan se

Canada-based Nigerian Pastor, Temmy Omoileri recounts how her 42-year-old friend has remained single because of her strict policies and expectations from her partners.

She was reacting to a viral video of unmarried women wearing wedding gowns in a church event.

He smiled, analyzed it, thought of the people around him that's aged but not married and concluded that it's true.

She should settle for any man that comes along, abi? Then, when the man finally realizes he was just the one she settled for, the same you would be back here to blame her for doing that to him. 🙄🙄🙄

Abeg, leave women alone to their unattainable standards in men. It is not their fault that they are unable to find what they want, and it is OK that they choose to remain single until the universe considers them. undecided

Menopause is better than having kids you cannot fend for or feed. It is not something to be feared but a blessing to women, which frees them from unwanted pregnancies. undecided

You want a woman to have to settle for a man in order to be married. When this same woman decides later on to abandon the man after locating the man that meets his standard or decides she no longer wishes to settle, you will come back to stab at her for settling in the first place, right? huh

You are busy insisting that women settle in marriage for what they do not want because what they truly desire is not available. Here are some questions to help you properly reason the implications of your suggestion.

⚉ If your wife settled for you in marriage, would you be happy knowing that?
⚉ If your wife who settled for you in marriage later decided to leave you because you do not fulfill her desires in marriage, would you be happy then?
⚉ Or, your wife, who settled for you in marriage, later found herself a man who fits her standard and loves her, would you be happy if she had to leave you to go marry that other man, even if he would spend only one year with her in marriage?

I am yet to see you agree to a public opinion or a post. You are always against someone, something , public and personal opinion. You are hard left.

@ Bolded. The poster didn't even give enough details for you to come to conclusion about the men.

I have such a lady friend that has the characters as described by this pastor. She is a business woman but a graduate. She is around 48 years now. She is a church lady. For over 10 years I know her she has no boy friend. Her own principles is something else. I am married and can have anything serious with her. All advice I gave her concerning how to relate with men she never follow it. It pains me how this lady is wasting her life and getting old everyday. I told her to adopt or look foir a man and have kids that will look after you when she get old. She bluntly told me no way. Na eyes I they take look at her now.

This is not biblical. The Bible says none shall lack her mate (Isaiah 34:16), and let every woman have her own husband (1 Corinthians 7:2) . So, as long as anyone desires marriage, he/she is meant to have it. Some don't desire it, and that's fine too.

Fake pastor. What sort of pastor comes online to mock a supposed friend? By the way, there's no such thing as a female pastor. It's unscriptural. Let her keep deceiving herself and gullible followers.

Stop using the Bible to tell what are obvious lies! angry angry angry

The book has it that some were created eunuchs from birth, some were made eunuchs in this life, while others chose to live as eunuchs for the sake of the God of Israel, clearly indicating that about half of the population— both men and women — are not meant to be married. The same man who said this went on to declare that his blessings belonged only to women who lived as eunuchs or were barren. This man lived and died never marrying; the same as his followers after him, then where do you get this deluded notion that all women are meant to be married according to that book? undecided

As far as humans have been maintaining records, it is reported that at least 25% of people born in every generation, men and women alike, go on to never marry and/or procreate. So, even if a person desires it, the fact that there are not enough people out there to marry will always be an issue against this suggestion that it is all driven by desire alone. undecided

It is you who should stop peddling lies. I'm quoting scriptures, you're quoting statistics. Even your statistics is wrong, because technically, the population of males and females in the world is almost same, God cannot lie.

Regarding eunuchs, do they desire marriage? Or you didn't read the part I said some don't desire marriage? Again, the bible is clear, for anyone who desires a life partner, you have God's promise, he will definitely come through for you according to his word!

Here’s my gripe with some pastors and unprofessional counselors: people confide in them expecting privacy, and they repay that trust by putting those private hurts on public display. I learned this the hard way. I told an older colleague something personal because I thought she was trustworthy and the witch turned my pain into radio content, without asking. It shattered me. From that day on, I’ll never open up to anyone again. She had no solution for me, yet I became free content for her radio audience: “e ba wa dasi… please help us contribute”

1. To show you lied, here is what the passages you quoted out of context instead says.

13 Thorns and wild bushes will grow in all the beautiful homes there. Wild dogs and owls will live in them. Wild animals will make their homes there. Big birds will live in the grasses that grow there.
14 Wild cats will live there with hyenas.[g] Wild goats[h] will call to their friends. Night animals[i] will spend some time there and find a place to rest.
15 Snakes will make their homes there and lay their eggs. The eggs will open, and small snakes will crawl from the dark places. Birds that eat dead things will gather there like women visiting their friends.
16 Look in the Lord’s scroll and read what it says: Not one of these will be missing. Not one will be without its mate. God said he would make this happen, so his Spirit will bring them together.
17 God decided what he should do with them, and then he chose a place for them. He drew a line and showed them their land. So the animals will own that land forever. They will live there year after year. - Isaiah 34 vs 13 - 17
Notice it says absolutely nothing about women or men, but instead speaks of animals and plants. 😏😏
1 Now I will discuss the things you wrote me about. You asked if it is better for a man not to have any sexual relations at all.
2 But sexual sin is a danger, so each man should enjoy his own wife, and each woman should enjoy her own husband. - 1 Corinthians 7 vs 2
Notice the passage makes no mention of the above applying to every woman and man born on earth?

2. The passage regarding eunuchs and barren women makes absolutely no mention of desires being at play where it concerns the matter at hand, as I already pointed out in my previous response. (Many who desired it, seemingly, more than life itself, ended up dying without ever tasting marriage. ) Since when did life or anything have only to do with fleeting desires anyone has? undecided

Please stop hiding your lies and delusions behind the mention of that book. It is beyond infuriating! 😏😏😏
