Spouse Market; The new grading System, Prayer as yardstick.

Some weeks ago the General Overseer of the Redeemed Church of God Pastor E. A Adeboye issued a new grading system to be adopted by young ministers preparing for marriage. This came at the same time with National University Commission scrapping post UTME and as well instructing all Universities to give students admission base on grading system. While the Universities came up with various grading system the grading system issued by the man of God generated some controversy.

The man of God position on what should be the male requirement in a female generated a bit of controversy. "If she can not pray for one hour, don't marry her". Trust Nigerians the bill becomes a law without proper reading in as much that it is proposed by the Man of God. Here are some salient questions to ask the man that is adopting this rule. Can he also pray for two hours? after all he is expected to be the head of the family. What his is definition of Prayer? there is a difference between going to church and praying; they are aren't the same thing. Prayer is of various form, we are all use to praying aloud but people who do meditate pray for hours than those who even pray aloud. Mind you Jesus Christ encouraged meditational prayer as the best. So Mr. Man for you to adjudged her base on this rule, you need to state what you believe to be prayer. Praying aloud or Meditating?

Most girls will be disqualified base on this rule because truth be told 60% of today's girls can't really pray that is why they fall prey to desperate men of God. They become victims of devilish prophesy and object of pleasure in the name of God said I should tell you this. However, a few don't pray as in what you will call prayer session but they are experts in spontaneous prayer blessing themselves every now and then. So, brother will you rule out such Madam on this?

Prayer without good works is nothing so says St. James, Yes she is prayer warrior but she doesn't have the prayer attitude. Her way of life does not radiate a communication with God. She prays, fine but what will you do if her way of life question her prayers. Let us face it she claim to be a prayer warrior but she has different spiritual fathers from different denominations at the same time. Isn't that a prayer warrior without faith? She claims to pray but the attitude is base on hypocrisy. Here is she top on your list?

Lastly, I feel God is the only one who could decide who really pray even the holy bible buttress the fact we could claim to pray to God while our heart are far away. I have not really kicked against what the man of God said but I will say take caution and let the Holy spirit guide you. Mind you if she doesn't know how to pray teach her how to pray.
