WHY MY MOTHER CALLED ME PASTOR AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY PAST ANSWERED PRAYERS I comprehend why my mother called me 'Pastor' in the past, given my exemplary behavior and choices. I had no girlfriend, avoided alcohol and smoking, and refrained from speaking ill of others. As a dedicated church member, I was considered a role model for many young individuals in our community. I offered fervent prayers, asking God to make me a source of assistance and inspiration to my generation. Though I didn't realize it then, my prayers were answered, but with challenges that seemed unimaginable. I was led through difficult paths, which I later understood were designed to strengthen me, impart valuable experiences, and equip me to guide God's children. have taken four decisive steps, undergirded by revelation, to pursue my calling and generation's mandate, notwithstanding familial reservations. My prayers and their answers have empowered me to make informed decisions regarding my education, marriage, religion ,music career, all of which are integral to my divine assignment. I am resolved to address Africa's challenges, bring liberation, and offer solutions to humanity. (1) EDUCATION I do not subscribe to the prevailing educational system because it fails to align with my personal calling. Moreover, it stifles critical thinking, leading to a homogeneous mindset that hinders innovation. In contrast, other parts of the world emphasize practical problem-solving, whereas we often resort to.The education you have now was not deserned to make you who God want you to be,that is the reason we all are suffering today. (2)MARRIAGE I have reservations about the concept of marriage, which was introduced to us by colonial powers and lacks cultural relevance to Africa. The combination of Christian, court, and traditional marriage ceremonies seems excessive and illogical to me. In my view, a traditional marriage is sufficient, and I hesitated to compromise on this, leading to a delay in my own marriage. Regrettably, my partner did not agree, and we ultimately succumbed to societal pressures, directing our resources towards marriage rather than investing in our future.marriage to me is for companionship not for competition,but i discovered that our women are materialist than a companion, a competitor not help mate. (3)RELIGION Upon reflection, I have come to realize that the Bible we commonly reference was introduced to us by colonial powers, and therefore, I approach its contents with a critical eye. While the Bible does contain valuable insights, I believe it also includes inaccuracies and contradictions. For instance, it describes a struggle between God and Satan, yet also suggests that God allowed Satan to remain present. I question the validity of such narratives and believe that religion is a human construct, intended to facilitate connection with a higher power. However, I think it's essential to approach religious texts with discernment, recognizing that some aspects may be exaggerated or unrealistic. (4)MY CAREER Six years ago, my wife and I collectively decided that I would temporarily put my music career on hold as we began making preparations for our wedding. At the time, I believed that this decision would allow us to concentrate on our future together. However, in hindsight, I have realized that this decision was not in harmony with my vocational calling. To fulfill my purpose and attain success in life, while also providing assistance and solutions to my generation, I must prioritize my calling above all else. This is where my happiness and the happiness of my generation are rooted. Unfortunately, I failed to prioritize my calling in order to ensure my wife's happiness and avoid prolonging our engagement, given our 10-year courtship.Now am not a happy person because of this , and I want you to knothat any day am out of my marriage you should not be surprised or blamed me for that decision. I want a world where people leave a fulfilled lives and go back to their God and he will said Weldone my sons and daughters. On that day you will be Asked what you do with your talent not job or properties.
