Why would this pastor call my mother a witch?
Dear readers,
She was well raised and protected from vices. However, she got involved with a young man who wants her to throw away all her values. She needs your help
Thanks, Monica Taiwo.
Dear Taiwo,
Please, help me out of this mess I am in. I don’t know how I got myself into this, but, I pray the Lord will sort me out before my parents, especially my mother get to know.
She is a prophetess, we attend a white garment church, and it appears God shows her things. The reason I need your help to get out of this mess before she finds out. She is going to be very dissappointed in me. I hate to make her feel bad.
My father also loves us his children dearly. Being the only daughter of the house, I always get a preferential treatment and I would hate to make my parents feel I left the house to rubbish all what they believed in.
I am 18, a 200-level Law student in one of the private universities. I am the only one attending a private university, probably, being the only girl and the last child.
I met and started dating a senior colleague of mine in school. He is also a Law student, but in 400 level and he is 23 years old.
We started our relationship when I passed into 200 level, and when I made up my mind to date him, I informed my parents. This is because, I am very close to both of them and there is nothing I do not discuss with them and my eldest brother, who is already working in a bank. During one of my visits home on a weekend, I told my family members about Femi.
After dinner, my mother called me and wanted to know more about him. After answering all her questions, she seemed to be okay with all my answers, especially the fact that he also is a Christian but not of the same denomination. He is of the pentecostal faith. My mother’s only advice was that I shouldn’t have sex for now if I haven’t done so yet.
I assured her that I haven’t had sex with him or any other man as she has taught me I haven’t the intentions of doing so until my wedding night. My elder brother gave me the same advice before I went back to school the following day and I assured him also that I knew what I was doing.
Three months into our relationship, despite the fact that I had already told Femi that I had no intentions of having sex with him or any man until my wedding night, Femi started asking me for sex and I always gave him the same answer which was always no.
On my birthday, he insisted that he wanted to have sex with me as my special birthday gift. I refused and he said he was ready to swear to an oath that he would marry me come what may.
I said I wasn’t interested and that even without swearing on oath, he could still marry me if God ordained the union. I knew he didn’t like my reply or decision, but I really was not burdened because I knew what I wanted.
For over two weeks, he behaved funny and avoided me; I called him and tried to diffuse the tension he created, but he was very stiff and I left him alone.
Few days after the last time I called him, he came looking for me at the school library. I was surprised when he tapped and excused me out. I followed him, though I was surprised. I was even more surprised when he introduced me to a guest who he said was his aunty.
I had no reason not to greet her and she said she had wanted to meet me for a long time and that she would want me to accompany Femi to her birthday celebration the following weekend.
It was the weekend I had to go home, so I didn’t need to phone my parents to ask for permission to go with him.
Femi picked me up from home, but on getting to his aunty’s house I was surprised because the impression I had about the party was not what I met. I thought it was going to be a big bash, but it was just a family thing. After we had spent about 30 minutes, Femi’s aunty called me and said the pastor of her church would like to meet and pray for me. I have nothing against prayers, but I was a little surprised. Moreso, I see no reason why I should be singled out for such supposed favour. Her pastor was also not a part of the party, he was seated in one of the rooms.
On the long run, he prayed and said he had some revelations for me. In his vision, he said Femi is my God appointed husband and that if I do not marry him, it would be difficult for me to get a man to marry in future. He also said that my mother is a witch and that she would want to stop my marriage to Femi because she has seen that she won’t be able to manipulate Femi’s glory for her diabolical use. I was too shocked to say a word. I asked him what I should do; he told me to avoid my mother as much as possible and that I should not tell her about the things he told me or what happened.
Because of my background, I am used to prophesies, but I know that, pentecostal churches are not given to this kind of things, so I asked what the name of his church is; his answer further baffled me because he said where he worships does not matter.
He asked that I should come back and see him for some spiritual guidance.
When I came out of the room where he spoke with me, Femi wanted to know what he told me, but I refused to tell him anything.
I was however shocked to hear him repeat some of the things the pastor told me.
I have really been disturbed since then. I also tried to avoid Femi as much as possible.
I don’t know if I should tell my parents. I know my mother is not a witch. What would their reactions be? I have tried to ignore the prophecy and everything I was told, but the details keep coming back to me. Help me, Aunty Taiwo.

Your parents are good people and they have cared for you well all these while. This "Pastor" is a fake and I repeat, the Pastor is fake and the whole "Prayer" & "Revelation" exercise was organized. Hang-on and review the facts: the Aunty came to your school to specially invite you to the party, the Pastor was not part of the party (I say he is NOT the Pastor of the Aunty's Church or why hide him?) and Femi knows all the Pastor said.
the truth; Femi is setting you up to have sex with you and abandon you, o pari. That is the whole aim of this kangaroo "Prayer & vision", stay CLOSER to your parents!!

You are 18 yrs now and at 200 level, just tell femi to wait for you till you finish your study if he really loves you and want to marry you. Otherwise let him go. Even my advice for you now is to avoid him like plague - for I see the whole arrangement of the prophecy thing as fake and deceptive.
For these two cases (Femi as your future husband and mother is a witch) - let time breath into them,for they will be healed by it. However, if you are not prayerful in nature, draw closer to God and put everything in HIS hands. Then if Femi is your husband even if he leaves you, he will come back. If your mother is a witch, time will tell and God will safe you from her hands.
It is even dangerous now to let femi sleep with you, for I'm logically see him to be diabolical in nature. Watch out,there are many fake prophets now!!!!!!!!!!!
The Lord God will be with you.

1.Any pastor or individual that is dubious or with bad motives will give you and info but the person will tell u dont tell anyone,its a lie and no truth in that info.
2.I want u to be careful maybe they are looking for a virgin for ritual purposes and they want u to be their victim.The case is simple.
3.Run away from femi bcos femi will never marry you.For him to go to that extent of using a fake pastor to deceive u.
DO NOT DISTURB YOUR BRAIN,JUST DROP FEMI AND TELL YOUR PARENTS ABOUT IT SO THAT U CAN HAVE A CLEAR CONSCIENCE ABOUT IT

Starting with your boyfriend,he seem to be a desperado and could possibly do anything he can to achieve his aim,which also includes killing you if he feels threatened or see any reason to do so and would go to any lenght to destroy your you and bright career ahead of you.all this is evident when her aunty or whatever invited u to her house for a birthday party and what happened in the party was already prearranged to fool you into believing that he is the man for and am happy to inform you that the man that calls he himself pastor is not a pastor because if he is,he should be able to tell you his church because no pastor would want to be secretive about his own church simply because you may turn out to be a member someday.it will be clear to point out here that your boyfriend and his colleagues are group of 419 that wants to destroy your life.
As for your mother,she is not a witch,you should thank GOD you have a mother like that who can send you to a private university to study law and become a better person in life just because she love you so much.go back to your mum and tell her everything and she will understand because it will help you to take better decision next time because life is a teacher,the more you live the more you learn

If your mother is a witch as claimed by the Pastor, what effort is he making to deliver your mother and if your mother is one, will she not make you one. By God's grace I'm a minister in one the popular pentecostal church. Marriage is a long time investment and you must not force yourself to life slavery. Don't give to his sex overture, if he leaves God will provide a far far better suitor. Let God choose for you. Have a heart to heart talk with Femi and tell him to let you go and see a neutral Pastor to pray with you on the issue. Seek marriage counsellor and I can link you with one. God will do new things in your lives and be more prayerful taht God will open Femi's eyes to see the truth. God will help you to keep your virtue, because marriage is honourable and bed should remain undefiled.

Stop any form of relationship with him and tell your mother of this. You have to be careful of this guy. He is fetish and might use you for ritual. You are still young to go into any form of relationship now. Face your education and when you are done with your studies and is ready to settle down, ask God to give you your husband.
Run away from this guy and keep off. Let your parents confront him and also make it known to your school that anything that happens to you, that he will be held responsible.

Please avoid any information that is contrary to what your parents have brought you up with. Your parents especially your mother is a witch, yet she did not suck you when you were in her womb, you came to life and grew up to attain this age, yet she is still training you to become a person in life.
Don't allow the foolish family to destroy the home God has built, hence desist from the present relationship with Femi because he is devilish. Your affairs will lead to destruction with Femi if you don't avoid him.
My advice to you is to inform your parents of the present situation since you already brought them into the picture of your existing relationship with Femi. Make sure you desist from this devilish affairs.
I pray that God will open your spiritual eyes to see the kind of person Femi is. God will help you.

I want to praise your courage to stand up to your conviction on no-sex before marriage. Please hold on to it, as this is a very rare virtue among our youths today. Secondly, please DO NOT listen to this preacher at all. He might have colluded with Femi's family to manipulate and confuse you. Your mother is not a witch, they only want to turn you against your family members so that Femi could have his way with you. My advice is that you leave Femi alone, God would provide a better and godly man who would have the same value with you. He is not worth it. He would only use and dump you. You don't need to tell your parents what the prophet said, but let them know that Femi is not worthy to have you if they insist on knowing why you left Him. Give your life to Christ and move close to God for direction in all your undertakings. Attend a bible believing church for your spiritual growth and God Himself can guide you through the help of the Holy spirit. It is well with you.

Please tell your family of Femi's request, your refusal, his promise to swear an oath and what you feel about the whole thing. Then tell them about the pastor and how you heard what he told you from Femi. You don't have to give all the details about who is a witch though. I wish you all the best.
written by Obico, January 19, 2012
Anyway,my advices is that you should cut off the relationship, avoid the so-called bornagain Femi. you are only being framed up for him to have canalknowledge of you. After that, he would be on his way.
written by Mao1, January 19, 2012
My candid advice to you is that you should run away from all of them - Your supposed fiance, his aunt and the prophet. They have nothing to offer you but confusion.
God encourages you to test all spirits because not all spirits are of God. The fact that Femi has a knowledge of what the prophet told you in secret is a good sign for you to be wary of all of them.
You still have your whole life ahead of you, don't allow anybody to turn you against your family. Your mum gave you a very good counsel, please follow it.
Pray to God and He will surely see you through.

I want to greet for your courage and to chip in my candid advice thus;
In the first place, since you claimed to be a member of a white garment church, did you find out from God through His messengers if You and Femi would be an item in the future, if you did, how was it? Secondly, as concerning your mum being a witch according to the prearranged prophecy, you don't have to bother yourself over it. Again, your have to go through the process of which I think you are familiar with-seeking the voice of God. Lastly, among our parents and your siblings, discuss it with the one whom you are closest with and listen to their advice. Good luck.

According to your claim being a white garment church member, did inquire if you and Femi would be an item in the future? If you did, what's the verdict? Two, being in the know of the processes involved in this platform (white garment church), you ought to have gone out of your way to seek the voice of God in this circumstance (your being labeled a which) by this so called prophet ( I call him, an agent of darkness). Finally, disclose this information to either of your parents or your elder brother-the banker, in confidence, and I believe, the outcome will settle the matter. Good luck.

I have sometime said in this column that there are issues that the reading public are not suppose to be bugged with such as this. I say this because the answer to your headache here is so obvious that you don't need a soothsayer to convince you that all these are fake. All the same, because of your age you need our advice to guide you aright. Some of the advice on display here are so much going spiritual in such a way that if care is not taken, you could be confused the more. There is nothing spiritual here except that this is a case of a desperate scheemer who wants to sleep with a virgin at all cost and he is out to try many options to achieve this. Some other ones are also talking about being closer to God. Much as I am not against your being closer to God, I want to believe that you are already closer to him and he also closer to you and that is why he has been exposing some hidden dangers to you and shielding you from them. Nothing stops Femi from raping you that day you visited him but for God's favour upon you. Your purity is an asset that draws God's cover over you and you should endeavour to continue to guard it jealously. The point I am trying to make here is that you are already under God's favour and protection the remaining task is now remaining for you to put into action. (1) You should end every relationship with this Femi of a deceiver. (2) You should let your parents know about all this immediately so that if there is any further evil plan Femi and his cohorts still have in mind against you, they will be able to warn him against doing anything foolish to you henceforth. Finally you should continue to be the nice and pure girl you are and face your career with the seriousness it deserves and leave the remaining battle for God to fight for you. Let me also add that you should never allow this fake prophecy to bring problems between you and your mother who loves you so much and has been doing everything to prove that. Good luck.

You're too young to be talking about husband for now. Let your husband be your studies. the moment Femi had sex with you,you'll have no value before him. it'll just be on record that he deflowered you.
It's well with you.

Frankly speaking, your mother is not a witch. Your so-called boyfriend schemed and planned the whole scenerio perfectly in order for you to fall into his selfish desires. Ignore that devilish prophecy. The man in question is not a pastor, the lady in question is not Femi's aunty. They are all schemers. Pls run for your dear life and reunite your intimacy with your parents and family members. thank you.

Your mother is your mother.
Its true that some mothers happen to be the problems that their children have; but from what you have said, it is true that your parents love you dearly, especially your mother. By asking you not to have sex before marriage tells you how much she has your interests at heart.
The easiest way for Femi to get you to do what he wants is to project your mother in any negative picture.
Think girl.
