Whew this gave me life this mornin!!! Im not sure if it was meant to be serious but it gave me THE best laugh EVER!!! 18 Rules for Dating A Preacher 1. Don’t start hollering during the introduction. People know you are just yelling and amening because you are dating. It makes the message ineffective and looks like you brought your own amen corner! 2. Don’t assume you have to work altars with the preacher just because you are dating him. If they have armor bearers you need to have a seat! You are not automatically the one who has to escort them in and pour their drink. Again, Have a seat! 3. You don’t have to stand at the altar and stretch your hands speaking in tongues making it obvious you are covering them in prayer. If you ain’t prayed all this time it is irrelevant now! LOL 4. You are not the first lady just because you are dating. Take your oversized hat off! He hasn’t even proposed. Get off the front row and stop trying to pre-fill the role! 5. He is not obligated to acknowledge you as their significant other just because you all are dating. Some people who are serious about ministry have a name and reputation to uphold first and they don’t know when you all are going to break up! They would look crazy as a man or woman of God acknowledging somebody new every time they preach!. 6. The man or woman of God is not acting funny with you because they don’t sit in church with their arm around you or snuggled up in your arms while you all are dating. It’s called knowing protocol and the posture of ministry. 7. Do not start arguments before the man of God gets ready to minister…even while on consecration or preparing earlier in the week. 8. Don’t get mad when the Holy Ghost shifts them and the power of God is still too strong after the service and they can’t go out to eat as promised. 9. Don’t get mad when the Lord calls them to a shut in or seclusion and they can’t even explain why they can’t talk for several days. It’s called an EMERGENCY CONSECRATION! Ya’ll ain’t married he does not have to ask for your permission. 10. You don’t have to call them praying everyday and laying hands to let them know you are are covering them. Sometimes being a silent weapon in their lives is all they need. How can you hear God for them if you always giving a word or trying to oil them down anyway? Do the work…don’t talk the work! 11. Don’t introduce yourself to all of their exes at the services while hanging on their arm to let everyone know you are the new piece! 12. Don’t hang over their shoulder (unless asked) after service while they are fellowshipping and possibly still under the anointing ministering to people but you busy trying to get acknowledged. 13. Stop over-killing trying to take bags, offer juice, tell them you’re going to crank the car, etc…(again trying to let people know you are dating) 14. If the armour-bearer or the pastor has already prayed for his/her strength to be restored after the message, don’t get your hips up trying to be deep down there laying hands on their feet and rubbing their head and praying loud because you think you got to be the most effective one to cover. 15. Stop collecting the yellow envelope after service with his love offering in it. Let his armour-bearer get it or he will handle it himself. His money don’t have anything to do with you until you’re married and even then, you are to respect his positioning on how he distributes funds. 16. Stop going into the office after service while he is talking to the ministers (again YOU ARE NOT HIS WIFE). Give the man some breathing room! 17. Don’t get upset if he/she don’t put “In a relationship” on Facebook. (Again trying to be recognized as their mate). This is ministry and the world don’t need to know their business. Girlfriends/boyfriends are not recognized by God and should not be recognized in the church. Either we are married or just friends. There is no in between. 18. Don’t marry a man/woman of God because of ministry and you feel as though they are anointed. Yes, the anointing is attractive but it only last for a certain time and when the anointing lifts, you got to able to deal with that person outside the pulpit. Have somethings in common other than “church stuff”.
