Avoid Court Marriage

He brought a girl to him and requested, “Pastor here is the girl I am meaning to marry, please pray, I want to know if it’s the will of God.”

After few days of inquiry, the Pastor returned a message, “She isn’t your wife, she’ll cause you great pain, and loss, she’ll wreck you down and out of existence.”

You see, the young man was in love, worldered by beauty and artificial elegance, the answer wasn’t what he expected to hear.

His brain spinning in that confusion of decision, he opened up to his fiancée, definitely she can’t accept that, she desired to be married, so she began to corrupt the heart of the man against Pastor Emeka, she told lies against him to the extent the man persecuted him out of the apartment in Lagos, Pastor Emeka wandered off into the street until he found another place.

Later they got married without even inviting Pastor Emeka, everything was beautiful on the wedding day, afterwards Pastor Emeka traveled to the North, the Fulani Jihadists murdered him, but not long after he passed away the word of God revealed to Pastor Emeka concerning the man began to unfold.

The man succeeded in business enough, he was popular at Alaba market that season years ago, I should be in prima that time, his imports were often numbered up 30 containers, by this figure he was rich.

Yes he was rich, but no man is richer than prophecy, you may play with anything, but don’t play with genuine prophecy because it must surely come to pass.

The woman dealt with him to the extent He couldn’t afford a meal, what happened? She siphoned him and left the marriage without notice. It was so bad that such a man was seen hanging on the door of yellow buses in Lagos so that he could at least feed from the daily conductors collection.

I know the human ear doesn’t always listen, I understand, but there comes a time when it listens en face reality, but I tell you you don’t need to wait till you come face to face to reality before you understand.

I don’t talk loud, or say things people can easily pick out, I mostly talk in parables, in hope you use your senses and figure things out by yourself, when I share some few parables with people and they can’t place it then there’s no more words to give.

I saw a friend this morning, his wife pressurised him to wed her in the court, and he also gave her equal access to his financial accounts. I don’t imply you shouldn’t let your wife have access to your accounts, it’s a noble thing to do, but when you know you are definitely going to lose everything…what’s the option?

She waited until the business grew to a great level, he became an industrialist, manufactured his own goods and stopped buying from abroad.

The serpent is a patient creature, she waited till that moment, and she struck, the accounts were almost empty, a fall for a new beginning started.

We have traditional marriage, it’s enough, for Christians we often add church wedding, which is also enough, but court marriage has no place in marriage, it’s an enemy of marriage, marriage is a promise between two people only which no court can interpret or understand, keep the enemy “Court” out of marriage.

May God give you wisdom and strength to overcome whatever that may come your way in the future as a result of court marriage.
