Of the 18 readers who reacted to closing week's column only two raised considerations on the article, all the others appreciated what I wrote. So i'll report on the positions taken via the twain and one of those with complimentary remarks as a result of his text message is one which makes it indispensable for me to reveal how Almighty God communicates with me.
this is greater so, because one of the crucial two who challenged what I wrote and who sent me 13 textual content messages from GSM number 070 – 4912 – 2474 does not believe the Lord communicates with me one – to – one. To him, it can be in dream, trance or vision that He speaks into my ears and consequently i could not hear what He advised me well.
but my presentation of the reactions of the three readers is on the basis of first come first served as i am responding to their textual content messages or mobile call in the order I bought them. consequently, i'm starting with Chief Nwabugwu (080 – 5752 – 5085) whose text message came in on Friday at four:31:31pm. And this was what he despatched: "pricey Adedipe, as a regular reader of your column, I admire your piece on why Ishmael became the one Abraham became to sacrifice in the Qur'an as in opposition t Isaac in the Bible. It is very educative. Kindly train me on the way you get messages from the Supreme Being."
As I advised him in my textual content message – reply I actually have had the grace due to the fact that February 1969, 52 years in the past, of speaking without delay with the Heavenly Father as when two human beings are discussing. So, I have the option to ask Him questions and if I didn't hear what He observed obviously i would request Him to repeat the statement.
As those that have been reading this column when you consider that 2010 be aware of there are two proofs that the ancient of Days speaks with me one – to – one. the primary was that late Dr. Ore Falomo (September four, 1942 – November 2019), the personal scientific medical professional of late Chief Moshood Abiola (August 24, 1937 – July 7, 1998), did not refute what I wrote on him during this column in 2010 and to which I made reference three times earlier than he died nine years later in 2019.
The article was that on the guide of the Supreme Being I took him on a religious retreat to Ado – Ekiti on Saturday, September 24, 1994. And that probably the most excessive instructed him I brought Chief Abiola's electoral rely to Him and that it was because of me He made him win the June 12, 1993 presidential poll.
The Lord also advised Falomo that He brought about the outcomes of the election to be annulled. This turned into as a result of Abiola violated His order to ship unfailingly on June 14 his thanksgiving providing to the 41 Muslim clerics He raised in Ado – Ekiti and who fasted for 41 days and made his victory viable. Abiola did so on June 15 and sent the little quantity of one thousand 2 hundred naira to every of the cleric, a sum not suitable to Lord. when you consider that Falomo didn't challenge me people got here to trust that I talk at once with the King of kings.
The 2d proof become my revelation during this column of the true which means of God's remark in Genesis 2:24, which is "for this reason shall a man leave his father and mom and shall cleave to his spouse and that they shall become one flesh."
since Christianity came to Nigeria in 1842 (179 years in the past) pastors and prophets had been preaching that the Supreme Being by that commentary become instituting monogamy as a result of He did not say cleave to his spouses. They returned their declare or assumption with the undeniable fact that the Lord created one spouse (Eve) for Adam (Genesis 2: 18 – 23).
I raised the problem with the Mighty One in Heaven in September 2003 and what He informed me became that in Genesis 2:24 He changed into instituting the type of marriage the Israelites had been to have. This turned into for a person to leave his parents to reside with and work for seven years for the father of the lady he desired to marry.
this is printed within the marriage of Jacob to his first two better halves – Leah and Rachel, who served their dad, Laban for 14 years to marry them (Genesis 29: 1 – 35). It was as a result of this seven – 12 months carrier situation that only three guys in Israel had greater than two other halves, other than King David who has at the least 20 spouses (2 Samuel 3:1 – 5; 5:13 – sixteen and 1 Kings 1:1 – 4) and his son King Solomon who had 700 better halves and 300 concubines who have been the slaves his wives gave him to be slumbering with (1 Kings 11:1 – 4).
the primary of the three who had more than two spouses become Esau who had three and he become able to do this because he married foreigners whose marriage device didn't encompass seven – 12 months service to his prospective fathers – in – legislation. however his last wife, Mahalath, became the daughter of Ishmael his uncle he did not should serve him because he was introduced up in Egypt, the place the marriage gadget turned into different from that in Israel. See Genesis 21: 9 – 21 for when and why Ishmael left Israel to reside in Egypt and Genesis 25: 12 – 18, 26:34 – 35 and 28:6 – 9 for the reports of the wives of Esau.
The second who had more than two better halves was Jacob who had four, Leah, Rachel and a slave of every of them. Jacob didn't should serve their fathers because his other halves had purchased and paid for them (Genesis 30:1 – 24).
The third man with greater than two spouses become Gideon, a warlord, who had 70 sons from many better halves whose numbers are not accessible in Judges 8:29 – 35. but for him to have had 70 male little ones apart from his daughters he must have had 10 to 25 or more other halves.
He become likely to have married handiest the primary one or the first two throughout the seven – 12 months provider situation. As a soldier who conquered territories he ought to have received his other other halves as spoils of battles he fought and received
apart from letting pastors, prophets and people frequently know that God become now not instituting monogamy in Genesis 2:24, I additionally made everybody to recognise that he isn't in opposition t polygamy. amongst others, here's since the Lord gave a rule to guys who have two wives in Exodus 21:10 – eleven and Deuteronomy 21: 15 – 17. This become that they should still not favour one and her toddlers above the other better half and her offspring. aside this, the Lord did not either within the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20: 1 – 17) or His different laws from Exodus 20: 22 through those in Leviticus and Deuteronomy ban anyone from having more than one wife.
Secondly, the historic of Days did not punish anybody for being polygamous. On their half, Jesus and the Apostles did not preach towards multiple – marriage. Christ most effective spoke against adultery and divorce all over the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:27 – 32).
finally, I let individuals comprehend that God in Deuteronomy 27:11 – 26 positioned a curse on anyone who would not obey His laws and teachings, including polygamy which He has no law in opposition t whereas Jesus and the Apostles did not condemn it. When the article changed into published in 2017 some clerics phoned or despatched text messages to thank me for letting them understand that God is not in opposition t dissimilar – marriage.
And that He placed a curse on any individual who would act in opposition t His legal guidelines and teachings. considering the fact that then I have not study in a newspaper record or heard on radio or tv any person write or say the Lord is in opposition t polygamy.
