Cleric at the Evangelical Church Winning All in Ilorin, Rev. Samuel Adedayo has come out to warn young ladies to be careful of men who use the name of God to lure them into marriages that they do not want.
He revealed this at a seminar for singles and the married organized by Christ Foundation Bible Church in Ilorin on Saturday.
According to him, men who go to a lady in the name of God are mostly not confident because it is completely natural for a man to see, admire and approach a lady to reveal his intentions for her.
He added that such approach are filled with deceits and the relationship that will come out of it will most likely not last long.
His words, “May I tell young ladies and women who are of marriageable age that you should beware of men who approach you in the name of God.”
“Such men say things like the Lord revealed to me in dream that you are my wife or they say things like two years ago while I was praying for a life partner, a prophet approached me and he gave me your exact description.”
“You see all these are deceits, and any man who does that simply lacks confidence.
“They don’t usually stand the test of time and challenges and may I tell you that it is not true love.
“The Bible makes us to understand that Adam saw Eve and said that ‘this is the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh’, it was not revealed to him while he slept.
“I am not saying you should not involve God in your choice of life partner, I am only saying beware of those who don’t really love you but want to use you.
“It is expected that a man be attracted to a lady, he should be able to approach you naturally, then you both can pray about the relationship together and seek the will of God.
“If you begin to see a sister in your dream, then you are beginning to probably lust after her or you are having infatuations, it is not God.
“Ladies if any man approaches you and says ‘God said you are my wife’, simply tell him, God did not say so.”
