THE BRIDE REFUSED TO ATTEND HER WEDDING BECAUSE OF WHAT HER PASTOR TOLD HER A NIGHT BEFORE HER WEDDING DAY
THE BRIDE REFUSED TO
ATTEND HER WEDDING BECAUSE OF WHAT HER PASTOR TOLD HER A NIGHT BEFORE HER
WEDDING DAY
It
happened in umuahia Abia state Nigeria when the groom with all the guest were
already at the church venue awaiting the bride to drive in for the wedding to
commence only to see the mother of the bride coming to inform the church that
the wedding wouldn’t hold as her daughter has changed her mind due to the
visions of their pastors that she is not meant for the man. Imagine the scene
created; imagine the stigma and embarrassment for the groom, the church and the
guest. Like that many prophets have claimed to know God’s specific will that concerns
people, what does the bible teaches about this
The story of the old prophet
from bethel (1Kings 13)
And he
said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread
nor drink water with thee in this place: For it was said to me by the word of
the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go
by the way that thou camest. He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an
angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee
into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. 1Kings 13:16-18
A prophet
was sent from the Lord for a particular assignment and instructed not to eat or
drink till he returns and an old prophet from bethel went and told him an angel
of God had directed him to feed him, he followed the old prophet back to his
house believing he was still following God’s direction for his life but at the
end of it, his assignment that would had fetched him a reward from God brought
him condemnation and sudden death.
What was his
mistake?
God is no
author of confusion, if the old prophet’s message about him were true, the
message would had tallied with what God had told him earlier on (eat not and
drink not till you return), God doesn’t speak to us initially via prophets but
He uses prophets to confirm his initial voice.
Any prophets
who rise with a message from God to you and your spirit had previously not
received such messages either via dreams, visions or inspiration then that
message isn’t from God.
If a prophet
tells you not to marry certain person because he saw a vision or received words
from God that such person isn’t meant to be your spouse and you’ve not by
anyway prior to the message of the prophet received any similar inspiration
then such prophet speaks lies and his imagination.
God doesn’t
speak to you via another; He only uses another to confirm that which He has
been laying in your heart because by the mouth of two or three witnesses a case
is confirmed.
God is your
father and speaks daily to you whether you understand Him or not. Don’t depend
on any prophet to be able to know God’s specific instructions and directions
for you, the man who did in our text died, if you do, you’ll end up destroyed
in the same way.
When you
want God’s specific instructions over your life, pray and listen to God while
you meditate on the scripture, if God sees you need further clarifications, He’ll
send words via other believers to you and those words would tally with that
which God has already laid in your spirit.
God bless
you
