Dear LIB readers; my fiance hates the doctrine of my church

From a female LIB reader
I and my fiance have been together for almost three years. I love him so much and I believe he loves me too. I'm just worried about something if we get married. I'm a winner (living faith church) and you know we have our blessed mantle, anointing oil, feet washing service and all of that. He on the other hand has never been a fan of winners. Now he's saying anointing oil and mantle will never be allowed in his house. He's reason is actually very clear... "Anything else apart from the name of Jesus is not allowed".
He says we are all children of God and should connect to him directly and not via a mantle or oil. In fact he calls all of those things idols because people tend to forget about calling to God directly and reach out to those things. I have tried my best to convince him and tell him it doesn't mean you don't believe God or don't call him directly if you use those things. I have tried telling him I'll use them but he's permitted not to use them and he refused saying it will not be allowed in his house. Only the name of Jesus is allowed. Kindly let me know what LIB readers think of this and what I can do.

    I wonder what makes some people feel that theirs is the standard way of worship. Until we learn to tolerate one another, their views & believes,there will always be friction

  13. Its quite a precarious situation you've found yourself, but its better its coming up now when you both are not married yet.
    Its left for you to decide, if you feel the sharp divide in religion perception is strong enough to come between you both, the earlier you call it quit the better for you, but if you feel you can bend towards his sentiment and remain with him, its yours to decide.

  14. My dear, he is your husband as God don ordained man as the head of the home its best for you to reduce it and get a better way to talk to him about it, as long as he does not stop you from worshiping God. To e its not really an issue. Goodluck.

  15. you answerable to God alone and not your Pastor nor Church. think about that. he said the name of God alone. not the name of church. so i see nothing wrong in what he has said. if you claim you love him so much , you will drop the church doctrine and follow that of God.

  16. Only the name of jesus is allowed.

    Jesus did not instrauct us to do all of these things - we them as a symbol of our religion.

    Jesus said i am sending you a helper in the form of the HOLY SPIRIT!

  17. Hello dear.. ur husband is very right, we all serve d same God.. I am a Muslim n anytime I hear any christain pray I do say amen to the prayers.. D only issue I have with Christians is d fact that av this sentiment about each other's church.. around my area, we have 3 different redeem churches?? Why can't a catholic or celestial or redeem go to each other's church.. but in Islam so far u see a mosque u can go in.. it is called a place of worship n so far u r genuinely worship God I don't think the type of church should matter.. using anointing oil or praying on a mantle doesn't make u closer to God, ur spiritual well being is the answer to ur question. If u truly love dis man, I don't tink he has asked for too much.. he didn't tell u to sin against God

  20. Your fiancé is a "Real Christian. He is right,the name of Jesus is enough. You people do all sorts of things in church and do not stop to think of its implications. U are already serving Idols seeing as you can't do without those things.

    Don't make dis an issue already, u said in ur own words "if we get married" he hasn't even proposed it's well. Don't make dis an issue if he believes in the name of JESUS live him, other things will follow when u guys get married. Don't allow this affect your marriage. He should know that Anointing breaks the yoke after your marriage.

  23. Use your anointing oil. Keep it in your bag or office. Bring it out only when needed! Even my husband that is Muslim allows me to use anything! I even go to church with the kids! He even brings the anointing oil for me when I need it. Keep praying. -Seun

    My fiance said i must wed her in christ Embassy where she worship and i told her that if she cant wed me in Roman catholic where i worship let her forget the marriage.

    i will live her as soon as i found another woman.

  30. I agree with your fiance. Non of the early church practices as documented in the scriptures, from Acts to Revelation show the use of such tools as means in our communication with God.Be careful lest you lapse into idolatry. Even if there are testimonies of its efficacy and that there are testimonies that it has worked for those who used them, it does not make it right in the sight of God.

  31. Can 2 work together except they agree... He does not agree with u, but u agree with him - case close. U have not said u disagree with him: afterall, both of u will attend his church post marriage!

  32. U don't have a problem. I don't believe in all those things either. I believe in going down on my knees and telling God my problem. But still if u can't deal, kindly forward ur fiance's number to me. I think both if us will make a perfect couple.

  34. I concur with your fiance. Only the name of Jesus is necessary. Reliance on other "rituals" will set you back.

  35. Jesus said He is the way the truth and life yea, every church has their own doctrine and what they do, sister are you thinking scriptures? have the scripture described all those as something to believe in? are you really born again or just a bamboozled with the church flow? If the guy is a born again Christian it is the way forward here. the bible reminded us in 1Timothy1:3-7 about any how kind of doctrines. YOU CAN GET MIRACLES WITHOUT THOSE IN YOUR HOME.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I believe u are a Christian so permit my christianese. If you are convinced in your heart that he is the man for you then you do not have a problem. The truth is, you are both right but 2 cannot walk together unless they agree. Scripture says the wife should submit to her own husband. The name if Jesus' is all sufficient. You can do without the mantle and oil because the spirit if God does not live in mantles or oils but in people. But you cannot do without the name of Jesus. If you'll marry him, you'll submit to him.

  41. Why not use the bible and convince him about the importance and significance of anointing oil. God directed some prophets in the old testament to anoint some of His chosen in the Holy Book. As for the mantle, i am really not a fan of that. Talk it out with him and make sure u both arrive at a common ground before the wedding. If in the end he is still adamant, then sorry sis, but u have to toll his line. After all its one God we all are serving.

  42. All these practices were all what Jesus and his disciples did. And as his followers and christ-likes we'll do all that, remember Jesus spat on his hand and mixed with mud to open someone's eyes. All these are just factors of working miracles and not doctrine

  45. Am afraid his right, most people tend to depend on these things like anointed oil and mantles and forget about the Cross and that the prize for all the reasons your using these things for have been paid for more than 2000 years ago. Wherefore they are regarded as idols cause most people have actually forgotten how to call on the name of the Lord at the time of adversity and will bring out anointed oil forgetting that at the Name of Jesus Christ every knee shall bow..

  46. I rarely comment ere but on this one, i am 100% on your mans side of the fence. I have read the bible to the end of it more than once and most things practiced in today's churches are way off this holy book. And he's your husband. If that's what he wants in your home, it will be best you adhere for peace to reign. My 2 cent

  47. I think your fiance was making senses which I will tell you to abide to his rules despite the fact he never asked you not to worship God or do your church services except adding other things to worship God which he will not approved. Base on my fact, using all sorts does not guarantee prayers acceptance so, why not worship God directly as he said and have peaceful home.

  50. You tried your best to convince him.....! Why not get convinced by him instead? What is wrong with today's woman? You should listen to him because he'll be heading that your future home, and will be responsible for decisions! Yes, I said so! Your fiance is obviously the one using his head here. What's olive oil, blah, blah, blah,...? Jesus Christ is your route to getting anything! Forget these business men that bear "pastor", you don't need all these rituals to access God's favours and blessings. These are just some of the schemes your criminal penticostal "pastors" use in manipulating and extorting you. Women are very emotional. All their decisions are fulcrumed on emotion. You're very lucky to have such a fiance, if I were to be the one, you must leave that criminal organisation called Winners Chapel!

  54. Relationship with conditions is not a good relationship, so be carefull of such.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Conflicts of belief are very serious conflicts, cause a belief and traditional ways of doing things are difficult to let go.

    Its also not easy to win over a person from his/her own beliefs into your own, and this is because in a person's eyes their belief is supreme and more especially when it has worked in either alleviating a problem or bringing a soothing relief.

    But I do thank God both of you are Christians, so it's going to be a lot easier to reach a compromise. In every relationship and marriage; being in focus here; sacrifice is one of the greatest weapons for peace, if not the greatest. It was Christ's supreme sacrifice that brought the world into the grace and mercy of God. That sacrifice built a lot of broken fences in our relationship with God. Sacrifice destroys ego which is mankind's biggest problem.

    Christ sacrificed to show love and bridge the gap in our relationship with God and succeeded. In essence I think we ought to also take a que from Christ, if we want to maintain love within a relationship we must learn to sacrifice like christ did, and when I say sacrifice I mean sacrifice in the way of the Lord. Don't sin in sacrifice.

    The sacrifice I'm talking about will work well in your case. Find out what his church is all about and as long as they preach the truth. Switch for the sake of love. And if they don't. Pray! For God's intervention.

  59. Poster, never marry a man that dont believe in your same line of doctrine/ faith, there will always be problem of agreement, even the bible says: 'not until 2 agrees' it will drain you spiritually. you dont have to come down to his level as per spiritual things just because you want to please a man. it is like telling a Celestial man that u wanna sow your car as shiloh sacrifices he's never gonna understand that.

    he is certainly going to still ban u from worshiping in Living Faith when u guys are married u bet. my dear take a walk. if he truly wants to spend the rest of his life with u he will be ready to compromise. dont marry a dictator abeg. he is not the only man in niaja.

  61. If your doctrine is not allowed and you cannot bend to his my dear you need to move on, unless you heard God clearly saying you should stay put. Those things can actually be an idol but it depends on how they are used. The name of Jesus supercedes all though.

  72. ''The heat of physical chemistry can overshadow divergent interests. When the fires of passion cool down, issues of your real core values begin to arise. The fundamental truth about human relationships is that we succeed best with those who are similar to us the most.''

    Am a Living Faith member as well. I won't do 'anything' to compromise my beliefs and Church practice. Not even for the sake of marriage. Mantle, Anointing oil, feet washing service and all of that are all instruments of healing and impartation according to the Bible. There are certain things U need to be sure of before U decide to live with someone for the rest of your life. But in everything in life, your beliefs comes first in any relationship. Otherwise, you either bear or enjoy your marriage. Otherwise, decide to give up your beliefs and live with him or walk away and sustain your belief and system of worship...

  73. My dear,it's Jesus only, Jesus Ever. Let him be all in all you see and not any silly mantle or annointing oil that can't save you. I hope you know husbands are scarce now,you berra be submissive and heed to his instruction to avoid stories that touches the heart.

  87. Look here love,
    Its very simple...
    Three things are renowned for destroying marriages: Money, Sex and communication. Let's put religion under the communication umbrella. You both love each other..You are both Christians, you both believe in Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Having mantles whether they are handkerchiefs or oils or whatever does not add or diminish the power of Christ. The man believes in the Name of Jesus and that is a lot more than many Nigerian men believe in. Please, if your mantles are more important than the name of the one for whom the mantles exist, then your man deserves someone else..finito.

  93. Mtcheeew see what doctrinal Christianity is causing! What is mantle and anoiting oil abeg? Where in the bible did you see christ or his apostles establish this things as mediums of communication with him? He says they that believe in their hearts and call upon the name of Jesus shall be save!!! Nigerian Christians and christians in general have so doctrinised Christianity drawing back to the same idolism where we seek physical representation of God's presence in the form of oils, statues, hankerchief etc the very thing Christ came to turn us away from. The veil was turn when he died signifying we now had direct access to God, the simple thing we had to do was to believe in her heart and confess with our mouth ie calling upon the name of Jesus and no matter the situation we are saved...but no the inner pagan selfs in us cannot accept how easy that can be we must look for physical representations like our forefathers in order to be able to believe in the power of God; thats why in Nigeria people keep running from church to church looking for the new best thing n churches keep springing up daily yet the wickedness and decadence in Nigeria is on an all time high! My advice to you sister is to repent of your religious and doctrinal ways, join ur fiance and look for a bible believing church and start worshiping God in spirit and in truth! Remember the bible is the standard by which christians should live their lives and whatever ur pastor is saying no matter how highly placed he is or how much respect you have for him if it's not in the bible then you shouldn't be doing it. You have not been called to serve a pastor or church but Christ and on the day of judgement the bible will be the standard by which you will be judged not the church or doctrines you religiously practised! Better thank God for using your fiance to correct your ignorance and thank God you have such a sound Christian as a future husband!

  95. Hello dear.. ur husband is very right, we all serve d same God.. I am a Muslim n anytime I hear any christain pray I do say amen to the prayers.. D only issue I have with Christians is d fact that av this sentiment about each other's church.. around my area, we have 3 different redeem churches?? Why can't a catholic or celestial or redeem go to each other's church.. but in Islam so far u see a mosque u can go in.. it is called a place of worship n so far u r genuinely worship God I don't think the type of church should matter.. using anointing oil or praying on a mantle doesn't make u closer to God, ur spiritual well being is the answer to ur question. If u truly love dis man, I don't tink he has asked for too much.. he didn't tell u to sin against God

  96. Please my dear...we winners believe in those doctrines..and even if we are marry outside of our church,it doesn't mean we should not be allowed to practice what we know is right and is biblical. if he is not ready to accept our church practices, then he should be ready to let u go. As for me, that's what I will do, leave him if he is strongheaded and cannot be convinced. My view s sha.

  99. I will not include Winners Chapel in my answer because really it has no business with it. It is true that we are are entitled to free belief in whatever religion we choose. But as a Christian and as a woman, We all agree basically on the same Bible and the same God.
    You are expected (ideally) to leave your own belief and take up your husband's belief, unless he grants you the privilege of worshipping in your own way. I know Christian women who married muslims and their husbands allowed them continue with Christianity after marriage. I also know women who had to convert to Islam because they married muslim men. I have heard of muslim women who converted their Christian husbands to Islam also. I myself am a Christian. My hubby attended RCCG before we married till the day he attended a service at my Orthodox (Old School) church. Now, we go to my church together because he prefers it. If you love your man, my advice to you is to accept what he wants. You are expected to anyway though times have changed. If you can come to a compromise with him, you can suggest alternating your churches. Finally, speak to a pastor or Man of God about this. I suggest you go to a pastor who is not of either denomination so he isn't biased. I wish you well my dear.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Hello dear, I attend Winners too so I vividly understand your point. But I will like to reply you on a neutral note. Its no news now that 'Belief' is paramount in everything we do. Even God cannot be pleased outside faith. God is not an Author of confusion at this point if you are truly lost and you don't know what to do go to God in prayers and ask Him to take control and lead you into His Will. Let God decides what to do because only Him knows the end from the beginning and only Him knows how He has fashioned you including the plans and purpose He has for you. Marriage is an institution created by God, God doesn't create a thing for it to be destroyed, something as little as these Kingdom mysteries can break a home and I am sure you aren't getting married to have a broken home. Mama and Papa celebrated 33yrs of blissful married life this week this, that should challenge you as a Spiritual daughter. When Mama was on her sick bed some of these Kingdom Mysteries were her Testimony. Go to God for answers.

  101. Am a winner. My dear if you have attended WOFBI this will not be a problem. the truth is that if you want to get married to this man and have peace you must do as he said. The good thing is that he is a believer. Don't fight your husband because of church women. If you can't follow him to his church don't marry him.

  103. My dear, this matter is delicate but can be handled in the place of prayer. Writing from the point of personal experience, I will suggest that you do not try to force your opinion on this subject on the man especially if you are convinced that God has brought both of you together as a couple. If the hand of the Lord is in this matter, with prayers and patience God will grant him revelation on it. I have had issues with my wife concerning certain doctrines of my church. I chose the path of prayer and without forcing her to accept my views on the subject, God gradually opened her eyes to the truth of what she was against and presently my wife is a strong advocate of those doctrines. there is no limit to what prayers can do, however we must also not lose sight of the fact that these things are tokens of God's power and should not replace God. The power of these tokens actually lie in your faith in God and not the fact that they can "magically or supernaturally" work wonders. Just ask the Lord for revelation. Both of you need it. I hope this helps.

  104. Sis! U don't have a problem! Once u get married u follow your husband's doctrine. Dats all. Assuming u got married to a muslem man! What would u do? Don't because of dis issue overwork yourself or your relationship, ones Ua married, take your mind of winner. Gaskia

  105. did bible not say in the name of Jesus every knee must bow. if you believe in anointing oil, then you will believe in holy water. at the instance of your challenge instead of you to call your saviour, the one that died on the cross for you, you rush for the oil or water. instead of your faith to be in Christ Jesus, it will be in oil and water. dear those thing are idol. he that will serve God must serve him in spirit and in truth. and of course he is the head thank God, he is not against the name Jesus.

Oya where are the monkeys who will want to talk shit to me cos i aired my opinion? Im anxiously waiting. Hunnie. u bliv in God, yes? So does ur spouse. So u shudnt v a p worshipping God wherever however cos God is everywhere and its kinda tradition that wen u marry u join ur hubbys church leaving all things 'behind' including ur church and its ways. Its a compromise /sacrifice u v to make. It will b hard but its just smthing u have to do. Or u cud just dump him n go and marry in winners... just kidding luv.

  108. Madam, u better listen to your fiancee. i attend winners too but my hubby doesn't. i have had to adjust to spiritual life without feet washing as the rest. So far both call on the name of Jesus. My prayers have been answered without the anointing oil. Think of the bigger picture dear, there is denomination in heaven. Marry your fiance and pray in the name of Jesus.That is all that matters

    I can also tell you from experience that a home with two religions almost always gets fractured(99.999%).

    If you eventually marry your fiancee, you've married his religion and will bring up his/your home on the principles of his religion.

    Best of luck and.....Dialogue it with him without being adamant to your cause knowing he has the prerogative.

  146. Why should this even be debated on LIB. This will just generate more controversies. Do you believe in all the mantles, anointing oil etc? Do you consider them substitutes to the name of Jesus or complementary to the use of the name of Jesus? These are deep questions you need to ask yourself to even assure yourself that you are not swayed by church doctrines.

    If you have the conviction for the use of all these then I believe you speak to your fiancé about them and reach a compromise.

    It should not be a matter to be deliberated on LIB.

  147. Go with him, He is spiritually sound and ready for you. He must be a member of Deeper Life. He could have just kept quiet and force you to change it when he marries you, but he has been sincere with you. Go with him and you wont regret it. You will thank me for this.

  155. I am a Winner member. However, before I became one, I never believed in the anointing oil, mantle, feet washing, communion. I detested them. However, even after joining the church, it took a while before i could get used to all the above listed. Now, your fiancee has a point. Jesus is to be extolled and looked up to, and not those anointed materials we use in Church. Furthermore, if he is born again and ok for you, listen to him and do not use those items in his house - remember that if he is not a Winner member, you are most likely to join him in his own Church after the wedding; I hope you have discussed that with him? Finally, just pray about it and God will someday make him realise how spiritually useful those items could be. Do not keep arguing with him over it. REMEMBER PART OF LAST WEEK'S MESSAGE? WIVES SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO YOUR HUSBAND. But, if you are stubborn enough not to obey your fiancee now, then, break off the engagement and begin to wait till Jesus comes for the perfect man who will obey YOU and your Church's doctrine. Good men are scare ooo. Apply wisdom. Good luck!

If you have been given the priviledge to use the name of Jesus in your home, I wonder what you still need those stuffs for because right now, judging from your epistle, you still think they are more important than the name of Jesus, and that is the exact reason why those things are idols. #Get wisdom

  168. Hez your husband and their should be mutual understanding but whereas his belief is different from yours, don't force him to instead keep praying and live a simple life worthy of emulation.

  169. I am with him on that!! I am catholic and I know a little something about forgetting who you pray to, people are not always wrong when they say we 'worship' Mary, cos the way most people carry on will convince you that you do! My point is, in the end what matters is "In Jesus name" Amen. Anything else na jara, cause it is your faith that maketh those things work in the first place! So abe chill!!

  170. Since your husband is truelly a real christian, and can pray to God without invoving any other Gods secretly, just obey him and keep your marraige going peacefully.

  171. when you are married you church with your husband and if you thank you cant give up those things then look for a winner brother.
    When it comes to spiritual issues i leave you to the revelation of the holy sirit as a child of God.Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

  173. I don't think thr is no course for alarm here. As for the lady u need to get mature in Christ not been religious, winners practice Christianity not religion. These mysteries are by choice not by force and before its bn ministered to ppl they always teach & show you biblical references. Winners believe in the WORD & passionate about the Kingdom not oil or mantle etc. The answer to ur question was answered last week message about marriage if u r winner pls get it. It is simple as ABC. Man Love ur wife & Wife summit! He has told what he want now as a Christian and if u cant summit to it now and then don't go into it pls, don't assume u are going to change him along the line. Even God respect our choices and ur pastor respect ur choice too. Sis. pls seek understanding dont blame him, he is a child of God not devil he might have seen ppl use these things like an idol.

  175. unfortunately this might be a deal breaker as matters of one"s spiritual life should not be compromised. i am a winner myself and i cannot enumerate the miracles of healing i have experienced by administration of the anointing oil. ur fiance seems a bit too controlling. my fiance is also not a winner and he does not believe in most of our doctrines but he has no problem with me using those things. its definitely a red flag dear.

  176. When the woman with the issue of Blood, touched the hem of Christ's garment, she was made whole.

    When Elijah scattered salt over the waters, it became fit for use.

    Even the shadows of peter and the apostles caused healing.

    These things happened because of faith. When an item, or anything that exists is blessed in the name of God. That item becomes holy and can connect us to God. It is filled with God's power that when used in prayer and rightly, can achieve in purpose. I'm a catholic.

    Handkerchiefs, sacramentals, oils and incense are blessed and used for prayers and in faith works for christians. So personally, I see nothing wrong with that

    But there is a caveat, if ur husband who God has placed over u says NO! You don't have a choice my sister. He is ur God after God.

    Let the Holy spirit guide u

  180. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" King James Version (KJV). Differences in doctrinal convictions and inability to resolve them are 2 of the major causes of marital crisis and divorce, even among Christians. You are not yet married so you are not subject to him in the biblical context below:
    "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything (Ephesian 5: 22-24).

    Notice the word EVERYTHING at the end. If you are not ready to submit to him as your head and the priest of your home, you are not yet ready to marry. I suppose you know the wife is to submit. You will be attending his church too unless they are not biblically sound. You are not yet his wife so now is the time for you to know, discuss, agree on and resolve this matter. Have both of you undergone pre-marital counselling? Are there issues you don't want to talk about and think they will sort themselves out later? "Little foxes" like these tend to spoil the beautiful vine of marital bliss.

    Pray about it. Discuss with him and older married Christians. God will show you His will and help you to make the right decision, in Jesus name.

  181. Please sort this out for your own peace of mind.

  182. my dear, life is about your choices and its up to you having in mind that if you do pick your doctrine that you are not picking God but a building a church. understand that then you can go on and think about but the guy is not saying anything wrong. the reason for the tearing of the curtains in the temple in the Bible shows that we should not go through anything or anyone to speak to Him

  183. As long as he says the name of Jesus Christ, then you don't have a problem. Because Jesus is the only way not a mantle an anointing oil.

  184. I AGREE WITH YOUR HUSBAD....HE IS VERY CORRECT

  185. Young lady, are you a CHRISTIAN or a WINNER? which one is more important? U can be a Christian without all those Items/practices. Besides once u marry a man, his faith becomes yours, he becomes the spiritual leader of your home. so his values will prevail. so get ready to drop winners and accept his church and their doctrine. There is no big deal here, provided you are not being asked to serve idols.
