Nigerian Pastor, Mike Bamiloye has shared his thoughts on why some of the prayers of married men end up unanswered by God
In his post shared on social media, the clergyman mentioned that no matter how close to God a man is, if he keeps breaking the heart of his wife by his actions and makes her cry, his prayers may not be answered by God.
His post reads;
””NO WONDER THE PRAYERS ARE HINDERED!”
1 Peter 3:7 NKJV
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
Some verses and passages of the scripture are very strange that they look unbelievable to believe, but they are infallible Word of God.
There are some verses of the Bible that, at times, some would wish they are not included in the Word of God, But they are the imperishable Word of God that are settled in Heaven.
There are some hard truth verdict that carries horrible consequences, granted in the Word of God, that some would wish they could easily erase with a pencil eraser, But they are God’s fingers’ hand-writing upon a stony paper , sealed with the incorruptible Blood of CALVARY. Imperishable Word! Incorruptible Letters! Divine Scripts crafted by the Holy Spirit. Unchangeable!.
The passage above is an example. Check the verse very well, and see what the Bible says could be one of the major Reasons a man’s prayers may be hindered.
When you are a child of God, but you don’t know how to give honor to your wife, the Bible says you stand the chance of having your Prayers hindered.
If you are a child of God, a prayer warrior, an Intercessors, but you keep breaking the heart of your wife by your behaviors and attitude, you hurt her and pushes her into moments of silent cry and midnight tears, the Bible says your prayers may be hindered.
If you are a minister of God and you preach about and heal other people’s homes and marriages, putting smiles on other men’s wives, but your wife never enjoys your company; you are a terror in the house, a stranger to your wife, the Bible says you may be the one hindering your own prayers.
This Scripture above shows us that, before you put the blame of your long-term unanswered prayers on the door-step of your enemies and household witches, or think it is the Lord that is keeping you on waiting-list; you should check first, if you are not the one standing against the answers to the Prayers by the various ways you have dishonored your wife – the bone of your bones and flesh of your flesh.
Pastors, who do you pay more attentions to? Your wife or the women in your congregation? To keep their church members, some Ministers of God and Pastors are more comfortable spending more ti with their church members than having time with their wives. Some men have pushed their wives to the brink of madness, and yet they are ready to go into seven, or twenty-one days of prayers and fasting for a release of Blessings upon their home.
This Word of God says, YOUR ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR TO YOUR WIFE MAY BE THE REASONS WHY YOUR PRAYERS HAVE REMAINED HINDERED FROM REACHING THE THRONE OF GRACE.
1 Peter 3:7 NKJV
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
SOME men lack understanding in dwelling with their wives….They lack understanding of their emotions, their fears, their love, their desire, their moods. The husband just want to have his way all the time. YOU RISK HAVING YOUR PRAYERS BEING HINDERED.
Some men have placed their family relatives over and above their wives. So the wife have been placed under the captivity and authority of family relations, so that the mind and the loyalty of the wife is torn between two forces; compelled to carry the loads and responsibilities of in-laws cousins and nephews and uncles and aunties of her husband….BROTHERS, YOU RISK HAVING YOUR MANY PRAYERS HINDERED.
1 Peter 3:7 NKJV
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
Honor her,
Make her feel loved,
Protect Her…Shield her….like a Weaker Vessel.
….THAT YOUR PRAYERS MAY NOT BE HINDERED.
