Nairaland is not the place to bring up such a sensitive issue. If you can discern God's leading well enough to know that you have been called, then GO and wait on Him and hear what He has to say on the issue. Whenever you come on nairaland, do so with intention to stimulate your intellect. It may not be my business but I'm angry with you. People can go to any length to show off their 21st century, advanced and enlightened way of thinking here, and it's done even at the expense of the Lord. You did'nt act with wisdom. |

What advise do you aside your wife's advise , you have a calling, who called you? Your knows you are only going to preach lies and deceive innocent Nigerians. Go look for better job to do and don't go the easy way of punishing people for tithe and offering to make money in the name of church. 1 Like |

frank317: As a matter of fact, one TRULY called does not need to establish any other church just show forth fruits of the Spirit... others see and you encourage them to just be independently reliant on God alone. Think about a world where, you stay in your house and talk to God while you maintain a Couture that portrays Christhood. Everyone works on His talent for example, the economist who revers God, uses his talent to better the lots of her citizenry and continuing in research than wasting years on USELESS MINISTRIES without even a sordid foundation for welfare and pure love and obedience to Gods word. |

stagger:Must you join the horde atheists and nominal christians here to off at a tangent? Your judgementality and legalism are wide off the mark. Does God call? And the scripture-supported answer is YES. I think the should do well to heed godly counsel as copiously given here which implies getting the spousal consent in line with First Tim. 3. |

My sister, It's not like there is a template for receiving a calling from God and how to start a ministry. The only thing I deem more valuable in your submission is "ask God for direction".... Every other thing sounds judgemental and personal IForgotMyLoginD: |

mapet:You're just assuming. God can never be an author of confusion. If truly you're spirit filled, immediately you received the mandate and you confined in your wife and she gave negative reply, since that day you suppose to have gone on your knees and ask God to convince her by a sign. The Bible says, until they see a sign they would not believe. Even during the ministry of Jesus, the Pharises never believed him because they requested for a miracle. You need to go more in prayers for God to show himself to your darling wife that truly he was the one sending you for a task ahead. If you go through the Bible everyone God sent and they had one or two obstacles, God manifested miracles to dispel their doubt. I advice you to go more on your knees and intensify your prayer altar and keep the wood burning. Truly if it was God that called you, your wife will surely feel it and be convinced. 1 Like |
Re: My Wife Doesn't Want Me To Start My Ministry by mapet: 7:34am On Mar 26, 2018 |
IForgotMyLoginD: So let's start with few tots 1. I guess you imagined the way you sister and her husband started their "ministry" is also the way he MUST start his? 2. If you went through his initial posts very well, he did not ask anyone here to help him assess if he should start a ministry. His emphasis is that he's convinced of his calling to start a ministry. My question to you (and others with "judgmental" feedback) is why are you more interested in "dissuading" him? Why are you telling him "how" and "when" he should not start/start? I put below some of your quotes that is out to the issues he placed for advise God won’t just jump start you into owning a church. Do you even have a small fellowship unit that is touching lives? Good question, but out of scope. You do not know his background or the "works" he has done, the spiritual heights he has attained. You do not even know if he has a small fellowship or not(if that is even a criteria for God's call) 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. The God that told your in-law NOT YET, could be telling this man START NOW? 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. You made a bland assumption that he has not asked God for direction? I like to keep to the facts of issues, at least to the extent of the information we have. The challenge I see here is that this brother is long-gone in his resolve to start his ministry (convinced God has called him to start). He wants advise on how to convince his wife. Let me pick just one thing from what many of you tacitly alluded to as a simple answer 1. PRAY that God touches/reveals to the wife 2. Get counselling from "spiritual fathers" who can guide both he and the wife on how to traverse stages like this. It will hit into their family life physically, emotionally and economically at the start (the ministry may even be "small time" for a long time)......but that is the price of answering a legit call of God. 3. Tell the wife, the threat of divorce.........is at best shameful. Under no circumstances should a christian wife threaten her husband with divorce over divergent views. |
Re: My Wife Doesn't Want Me To Start My Ministry by IForgotMyLoginD(f): 7:46am On Mar 26, 2018 |
Sorry I have no time to read this epistle. Give the guy your advice and move on (that is if you are not the minister that asked him to come into partnership in the first place). And kindly keep off my mentions. Mr. Jugdemental I-Can’t-Mind-My-Own-Business Pot calling Kettle Black. With all due respect sir, this will be the last response I’ll honour you with. You can go ahead and jump on the others giving him almost same advice. You might be lucky to find one to trade words or debate with you. Happy new week sir. mapet: |
Re: My Wife Doesn't Want Me To Start My Ministry by IForgotMyLoginD(f): 7:54am On Mar 26, 2018 |
All in one summary. Well said my brother. When Paul took the gospel to the gentiles, they went with the Word, POWER and The SPIRIT. God cannot send anyone without equipping them. Which woman will love one church, and threaten to divorce her husband if he forms his? If truly God wants him to open his own church, that devil MUST be subdued by the power that is in the man through the Holy Spirit by prayer! ihatesycophant: 1 Like |
Re: My Wife Doesn't Want Me To Start My Ministry by mapet: 7:58am On Mar 26, 2018 |
ihatesycophant: This is how some of you twist narratives and the scriptures and also quote scriptures out of context. let's start with some few things in this your post and the other one. 1. Yes I am assuming, just like you and anyone else. God's call to him is personal. It cannot follow a template. You cannot tell him ho-ha a pattern HIS call should follow. 2. There have been many instances where a "spirit-filled" individual has his/her greatest cross in his/her partner. There has been instances where wife's/girl-friends of pastors/would-be pastors are not supportive. In some cases the relationship crashes, in other cases they find a way to get to a compromise and in others she gives her total support. What this person in question is asking his how will he go about it. You lot have all the answers from a supposed template. 3. From the bolded, what makes you think he's not done all that? What if God is tell him to do some other things to get her on board? If you were a christian counselor, and a young aspiring pastor comes to you with this "problem", you mean to tell me your answer will be "If truly you're spirit filled, immediately you received the mandate and you confined in your wife and she gave negative reply, since that day you suppose to have gone on your knees and ask God to convince her by a sign[/i]" This is why people walk away from some of you supposed spiritual leaders worse off and more disappointed. 4. What is the use of this out of context scriptures you quoted here to the discussion at hand? [i]"The Bible says, until they see a sign they would not believe" I guess you are a bible reader, yet you muddled up a different scripture to explain? hmm.... Just like I keep saying....... What if he's done all these (prayed earnestly, fasted, etc) and she's still adamant? |
