Rules on interaction between clergy men and church-going women

With Kenyan women literally behaving like headless chicken before members of the clergy, especially those who pass themselves off as miracle workers who can heal all manner of diseases, solve marital and business problems and bring the dead back to life — only after one plants a seed — I feel it’s time I gave them some rules of engagement.

First, if you are a married woman it doesn’t matter if your intimate body parts, like your breasts, are burning with pain, letting any other male who is not a doctor to touch them in the name of praying or performing a miracle is a no, no!

Male gynaecologist

I find it a bit ridiculous that some of our women blush and feel embarrassed whenever a male gynaecologist is examining them, but when they go to church, they lose all sense of embarrassment and decency with some seeming to enjoy the pastor’s touch, and worse still, in front of people.

Secondly, women should keep in mind that the most important person they should love and adore is God not their pastors, bishops, prophets and whatever other fancy names they call themselves.

It beats me how nowadays women fear men of God more than God himself. Some do not even read the Bible for themselves and simply go by the pastor’s own interpretation of the holy book. That is how women have found themselves literally worshiping men of God and doing their bidding more than God’s will. It’s a pity.

But it is time women sobered up and adhered to biblical teachings, not what the ‘pastors’ and ‘bishops’ say.

Thirdly, ordinarily women are stingy with their money.

Ask any married man who has a working wife and he will tell you that his partner never wastes an opportunity to remind him that his money is theirs and her money is hers and hers alone to do with as she deems fit.

But throw a pastor onto the scene and the woman will open up her purse with very little persuasion all in the name of ‘planting a seed’.

Defending pastors

But it is high time women stopped supporting the dreams of these cons who use the pulpit to swindle even the sick of their hard earned money.

Lastly, women should cease defending pastors blindly. For instance, in the recent expose of self-styled Prophet Kanyari — who passes himself as a prophet — some women almost went physical on KTN’s Mohammed Ali and John-Allan Namu in defense of their infallible pastor.

Dear sisters, a true man of God doesn’t need women fighting for him because he knows there is a Man above who is capable of fighting on his behalf. He will ask God to fight his battles. Get it?
