God has abandoned us | Childless couple burns Bible

by S’ola Filani

A childless couple married for 16 years (Benson Ogwu and his wife), yesterday set ablaze a Bible in Asaba, Delta State.

According to reports, the Ogwus are not just members of a popular Pentecostal church in the area but dedicated church workers.

They however gave up on God and got angry after their high expectations of making babies were shattered by a prophet who told them they had a delay in having children because they were far from God.

Passers by and neighbours tried to stop them from carrying out the action, but the couple’s decision prevailed.

The couple actually got married in a Catholic Church, which they dumped afterwards for the popular Pentecostal church where accusing fingers have been pointed to the pastor for raising false prophesies.

  1. sometimes in life, we pass through hard times, that does not mean that GOD does not care. He created us and our lives is in HIS hands. Burning the BIBLE is a sin, this couple have just added to their problems. please come back to GOD, HE is a loving FATHER, HE loves us shalom

  2. God help this couple to know and come back to you.
    In your mercy, draw them back to yourself and save them.

  3. To ma y, God experiencece is based upon what they want from God. If He doesn’t supply their wants, then He is not God. God is God, He doesn’t change, whether we believe in Him or not, He remains God.
    Those who don’t know God, even if He gives them all things, they will still not believe in Him.
    True faith is tested by great trials, not abundance of providence.
    May God help us to know and continue to trust Him even when things are more difficult than theirs.

  4. The Qur’an says:
    18:: 46
    Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of the world. But the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord’s sight for reward, and better in respect of hope.
    and
    19:: 76-78
    Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord’s sight for reward, and better for resort.

    Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and saith: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children?
    Hath he perused the Unseen, or hath he made a pact with the Beneficent?
    Apparently, this is evidence that people don’t worship God because of His sake but for the mundane expectations. This couple should be told the gospel truth that some more devoted believers have left this world without a child but had so many people they had positively touched and their legacies remain evergreen till eternity. Their action never changed anything about God. What if they have a child and despite that they loss their peace of mind?

  5. The very reason why the couple burnt the Bible is the very reason they could not get a child in the first place.They should look inwards and change their unfaithfulness and unbelief.God can still bless them…and how shameful will they be!

  6. D couple that burnt d Bible would only b justified if decapitation is d cure 4 headache. D couple has only succeeded in joining d list of Bible burners, and Bible is almost as old as d Bible itself only that d action has never succeeded in reducing d power of d BOOK by any watt. Their action is just a reflection of d kind of members d church is breeding today: people who love d gift but not d GIVER. We rather need christians like d 3 Hebrews who were still praising their God in d fiery furnace. The couple would need to search themselves first because their is no unrighteousness with God. Are they truly saved? Are they in d right place? Are they obeying d Lord? Let them repent of their sins n cry unto God 4 mercy. Who knows, d God that answered Hannah, who did not 4get Sarah n Elizabeth may still answer them. May He be praised 4rever 4 His sovereignty!

  7. I believe the couple who burnt their Bible were not well informed a the Love of God in the first place. They should have known that the barrenness was not from God in the first place rather from the devil. The Word of God says that there shall be no barren one in the house of God male/female. They should looked for another Grace based church bc from the look of tins, their faith collapsed totally after the Pastor discouraged them through the so called prophecy which I am sure is not from God.
    God is rich in mercy, let them return to God He has forgiven them. many has done worse than that yet God didn’t hold it against them bc He understand that they are babies. Heb.8:10-12, Isa.43:18-19, 25, Rom.5:1-21. Forgive yourselves and return to God bc He is not holding it against you.

  8. They never loved God, they wanted a baby or even other stuff. And God was just a medium to get it. Now based on the lack of love, they didn’t study and learn how to Love God genuingly but they decided to seek man to help with God for a child. Until you make God your goal not a worker for you, you simply won’t get what you seek.

  10. It’s unfortunate. The word of God is ever sure and no one can contend with God. God is still God and will ever remain who He is. There is no controversy about it and He is still ever faithful God. Let them as a matter of urgency ask God for forgiveness, and ultimate thing is the salvation of their souls in making heaven at last. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and every other things shall be added including children. This is the promise of God.

  11. I just want to say to the couple that foot a Bible burnt simply because of temporary barrenness. I called it temporary because the Bible say that with God, all things are possible. But its the same God they s fighting with. I pray that God will have mercy upon them. They can burn one Bible, there are more than one Billion more Biles for God left in the hand of his children to work with. It does not take any tthing away from HIS SEPREMACY! They just ignorant. I won’t blame them, that is part of the fruit of the failure of the Church today.
    But to them, I say, no one has ever fight with God and prevail. Not even the devil! Yet its no too late, I advise they go back to God, and ask for mercy, because ” It is written, It is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of God”
