NIGERIA – A couple has gotten divorced after being married for three years despite the fact that their pastor prophesied that the marriage will last forever.
Felix Anyanwu and his wife, Angela, filed for divorce at the Ejigbo customary court in Lagos.
Felix, explaining how they got together in the first place, said he never even knew his wife. According to him, he was at a church service with Angela when the pastor told them both to stand up and prophesied that they were each other’s better half.
Felix said he believed the clergy and they both proceeded to begin wedding plans. He added that after the wedding, they discovered that they were strange bed fellows that came together but did not have any feelings for each other.
He said they managed to stay together for three years because Angela became pregnant and had a child.
When the child was three years old, Angela packed her things and left her husband’s house, taking the child with her. Felix had no idea where she went and did not bother looking for her.
Felix asked the court to dissolve the marriage and allow Angela to take custody of the child and grant him access to the child.
Angela in her response, did not object to the dissolution of the marriage and said it was better it was dissolved in their own interest.

EDITOR’S NOTE:
When a PROPHET SPEAKS and his words DO NOT come to pass
“If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him” (Deut. 18:22).
“But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true” (Jer. 28:9).
“When all this comes true – and it surely will – then they will know that a prophet has been among them.” (Ezek. 33:33).
“The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord” (1 Sam 3:19).
The Bible makes it clear that a prophet is someone who speaks on God’s behalf to the people and there is no inaccuracy in his words. When the prophets of old got their message from God, it was perfect, free from any error. They spoke confidently knowing that what they said God would bring to pass.
Don’t make the mistake that there are no new age movements’ prophets, they are. And false prophets are a big problem now and will be even a bigger problem later if we do nothing to reel this runaway train in.
Do we need prophetic discernment to know the wheat from the tares? Jesus said they would be among us until the end. He did warn of false prophets and teachers in no uncertain terms and they are often coupled together. What is our bread to feed on? The word of God.
