Ladies Beware of the Snake

Many men online misrepresent who they really are. There are men who are dead-beats who won’t work. They live off of the support of women. On some of the Christian singles sites one being, Black Christian People Meet, women are getting snared into their trap. These men claim to be a minister who is starting a ministry, they turn on their charm and draw the women close to them but make it plain that they are not interested in them romantically because they are focused on God. The women think that he is for real because he is not hitting them up for sex . They warm up to him because he ministers to them. It’s like an aphrodisiac to them. Before you know it they are intoxicated by the idea of being with him. They start getting visions of ministering with him and being his wife. Regarding one man on this above mentioned site, several women say they have heard from God that they are to be his wife. God is not into multiple wives we all know that. In the mean time these women send money and he lives off of it instead of putting it into ministry.

Men who charm to manipulate women have what I call the snake. This one particular man is not even divorced and was living with his wife when he hit up some of these women. Wow! Some Christian women are vulnerable to this type because they so desire a good Christian man. I Peter 5:8 tells us to be sober and vigilant. Pastors and older women should be teaching the younger against such predators through the body of Christ. We need to warn them that it is easy to get intoxicated with the idea of being with a certain man when it appears he is of God. One of the things we should teach is not to give money to anyone you meet on the Internet. These guys are stealing from the church when they take these women’s money. Before you know it the women think they are hearing from God and even begin to give him their tithes. Little do they know he has a wife or a steady girlfriend. But he makes them feel like he cares about them, he makes them feel like they are special to him which gives them some hope that one day she will be his wife. This escalates their giving. They soon feel like they can’t do enough for him, they give and give and give even to sacrificing provision for their children.

How sad this is. Many say, well how stupid can they get if they are that stupid then they deserve to suffer. It is a stupid move on the part of the women that is why we need to begin to teach this in a great way from our platforms to warm people about Internet predators. Let’s teach single women how to wait on God for their mates. Singles sites are not bad in and of themselves. If we follow the word of God and acknowledge Him in all we do we can be a blessing on these sites.

Philippians 4:6 tells us to be careful for nothing. When we are walking the word of God we don’t have to be careful because we are in obedience to the word.

Matthew 7:15
Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.
You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Before we give money to anyone we need to check out their fruit. Amen!!! LADIES DON’T BE A FOOL.

We have to pray for a spirit of discernment before we venture into anything

Hey thanks for your comments... Yes sniffsliars you are right women to the same things as men do. Their approach is a little different but motive the same.
