Prophecies/ Opinions and your Relationship!

Right from the beginning of times, there have been discrepancies over the issue of suggesting or recommending soul mates.
When Adam fell, instead of taking responsibility for his action, because its man's nature to shift blames, he said to God "the woman you gave me..." you know the rest and since then that phrase has hunted the human race for when a relationship fails, we don't see beyond our noses into the mirror to see that the one at fault is you, yes the other might have greater faults if you say so but it takes two to tangle.
Now among the religious folks, we say things like "I don catch vision." As awesome as that sounds, not all are divinely induced visions, when our parents met, some had accurate visions and they still remember it till tomorrow but in a day where lust and selfishness are the order of the day, we have what i call a lot of "polygamous singles." where one bachelor or spinster sees more than one person. Biko! God is not an author of confusion.
Hmm! To my main point, I respect spiritual authorities and the word of a prophet but i respect the word of God spoken to me personally and if i am forced to choose, i would stick to what God told me.
Now i don't mean to rattle your theology but it bugs me when i see a failed relationship and people say "na man of God say na him wife" or everybody felt they were good to go and so they decided to really go together not because of personal convictions but because somebody you respect said so.
Its not your moral right as a spiritual head to be match making up and down. Teach people how to hear from God by themselves and when it comes to choosing a spouse it will be as great as other aspects of their lives.
For the prophecy mongers, those who are not ready to sit down and work out their salvation in deep word study and devotions, prayer and fasting, building a sweet fellowship with the Lord and you expect sharp sharp word of prophecy claiming you don't want to miss it in marriage. Hmm! If you have not found God, and found who you are (purpose discovery) you have no business finding a wife or following a man. Worst case scenario if both of you are like that, what is gonna be the end of it.
I hate it when people cast blames, the God who said none shall lack her mate still speaks. If there is no witness in your heart and there is no peace about the word of prophecy, please check it so you won't have to put the blame on anybody.
I like to say i am the first priest over my life, whatever word of prophecy i get, does it go in accordance with what God has told me before? Now the problem comes when you are not sure what God is saying.
I will say this, don't allow a third party ruin the beautiful thing God is doing. I am not ruling out prophecies because i love the prophetic. Some men are like Samuel whose words don't fall to the ground so test all spirit,weigh the words and be sure at the end you are in the perfect will of God.
If you have any contribution to this please drop it so we all can learn. Lets build godly relationships that will lead to godly and lasting marriages. God bless you all.
