A Nigeria Pastor has taken to his X account to advice Christian sisters on the things to look out for when choosing a partner. He admonished them to be careful and not marry a brother whom they converted or made to start going to church more often. The post has raised a lot of concerns, both from those who are in support and those who kick against it.

Christian ladies, if he's a 'Christian' but started really going to church when he met you, that's your disciple not your husband.Don't go and submit to someone who you should be training in the word.
I'll say this: MANY women who love the Lord and want to serve Him have been deceived by a guy who never had the same faith as them, but they were swayed by other nice things, and decided to place value on "he has started going to church"
It takes time for intentions to be tested. Many men reveal their true color after wedding has happened. He went to church for 4 months because of you, but it was all a scheme to get you to trust him.
Wise up o, ladies.
Marriage is a BIG deal. It's a lot of work and it takes the help of the Holy Spirit.
To lead a home spiritually, a man must be submitted to Christ through personal devotion. The basics must be in place.
Consistent devotion in weekly fellowship at a local assembly, and a commitment to discipleship through the teachings of HIS OWN pastor.Take it a step further and even check if he is known at his church by one or two people at least.
If he hasn't gotten to that point yet, let him stay in church and marinate. If time tests his faith and he is found to be genuine and there's still interest, you can do what your heart desires. Just make sure they're not scamming you with church attendance.
Watch out for their seasons and their fruits.
Look at the things that show someone has walked with God personally. This is your security as a woman.A good person may not be ready for marriage. They may still need a lot of time and work before they can make that commitment.
Even the men that doesn't know John 3:16 know "wives submit unto your husbands".
Don't go and submit to a man who isn't already submitted to Christ, and his submission cannot just be audio. Wise up o.
When doctors advise against certain foods and lifestyles, it's because they've treated people with the end results of the path they're advising you against. I know what I am saying o.
"I know someone who..." that's very likely an exception to the rule. It doesn't work like that in most cases.
But at the end of the day, do what's right in your own eyes. "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, the end thereof..."
Men reading this, please take your spiritual life seriously. What will you show your kids? What will they learn by observing you? Will they learn to pray and study the Bible by watching you? Or will they know to do as you say and not as you do? God forbid.
Be an example for your family to follow. Start today.
- pray every day
- study your Bible every day
- fast every week
- go to church every weekTake your spiritual growth seriously, lest you profess Jesus Christ but have no evidence of Him in your lifestyle.
I pray you all make great decisions and have great marriages. Amen.
