FOUNDATIONAL ISSUES IN MARRIAGE: DEMONIC AND POSSESSIVE MOTHERS-IN-LAW 2
You are warmly welcome to the April edition of the Singles’ World. In the last edition, I discussed with you demonic and possessive mothers-in-law as another foundational problem that can pull down the pillars of any marriage. I discussed mothers-in-law whose sons are their eyes. In this edition, I will discuss another type of mother-in-law that should be avoided if you want to enjoy your home. It is my prayers that you will have the grace to avoid these evil mothers-in-law in the name of Jesus Christ, and if you are already into it, the Lord will give you the grace to manage the situation in the name of Jesus Christ.

There are women who don’t want their sons or daughters to get married. Is that not strange? Yes, it is, but it is true. While godly women are praying hard for their sons and daughters to have godly spouses and good homes, these ones are averse to their children getting married. These are different from women whose children are their eyes. Some of them believe that when their sons get married, their wives will take away their love from them.
Therefore, they will not have full access to their sons anymore. If they allow their daughters to get married, they may not even see their daughters again. It is their husbands that will be reaping all their labours on them. They are not always comfortable that their children want to get married. They will do everything possible to oppose their marriage proposals. In essence, such women are ‘married’ to their own children. If you want to marry the son of such a woman, it is going to be war, be ready to marry her and her mother. And if you want to marry the daughter of such a woman, you are having two wives already.
Some of the traits of such a mother-in-law are listed below:
-
As a daughter, they may not ask about your marital life or discuss it with you. They are not interested in discussing any plan of marriage with you so that you will not get married.
-
As you are praying for God to give you a godly partner, they are inwardly praying against it. Even if they join you in a public prayer meeting to pray, their hearts are far away from it.
-
No matter the partner that you introduce to her, she will never agree that you marry any them. For her, none of them is the will of God for you. They will always have excuses to give why you should not marry that person.
-
Some of them can deplore the cultic power to control and make you obey them. They will tie you down in the family demonically so that you will not get married.
-
If you visit such a sister, just know that you are not welcome at all. Her mother is not ready to be your host. Although some of them can pretend to be good to you when you visit their daughters, some can also be hostile.
-
Some of these women will keep asking you for money, and they don’t want any marriage to impede the regular flow of this money to them.
-
If both of you decide to marry without the knowledge or permission of such a woman, you have entered into a life of war permanently except God delivers you. Such women will be angry with both of you. They will do everything possible to destabilise your family and make you regret in life.
Such mothers-in-law may have witchcraft spirits which they will deploy to fight you and your husband who had the guts to marry you without her permission. Except God helps you, she will frustrate your marriage. It is like stirring the hornet’s nest. Some of the experiences that you will be having include but not limited to the following:
-
Constant fighting and disagreement.
-
Miscarriage, infertility and barrenness
-
Demonic attacks in form of sicknesses, accidents, calamities, misfortunes, bad dreams etc.
-
Business failure, loss of employment, stagnancy etc.
-
Divorce
-
Death
