She Left Me Because of a Prophecy—How Prophecy Misled My Love Life, My Loss and Experience

How Prophecy Misled My Love Life

Have you ever paused to wonder why two people with “divine confirmation” still ended up divorced? Or why a woman left a good man because her pastor claimed he wasn’t “the one”? If you’ve been relying on prophecies to shape your love life, this may be the most eye-opening thing you’ll read today. I’m not here to mock anyone’s beliefs—but after witnessing countless love stories twisted by so-called divine revelations, I feel it’s time to share the raw truth. My personal experiences and those of people close to me have taught me lessons I can’t keep to myself any longer.

My Experience with Prophecy Predictions About Relationships and Marriage

I’ve seen highly educated people still addicted to visiting prophets to confirm whether a partner is “God-sent.” While this might have worked for some, let’s be real—no prophet, Imam, Alfa, or so-called man of God can accurately predict the future, especially in matters of love and marriage.

So how did I find out that many of these spiritual guides are blind to what truly lies ahead? Let me share some real-life stories—even though they say experience isn’t always the best teacher.

1. My Undergraduate Experience

Back in school, I had some female friends who used to consult prophets to “pray” about their boyfriends. And the way these prophets made random picks for them was laughable.

One of them said, “When I got there and he prayed, he asked what job each guy was doing. I told him one was in Lagos and the other was in Osun. He said the Lagos guy is the right one.” She was confused—she didn’t even have a boyfriend in Lagos. She just didn’t want to tell the prophet both guys were in Osun. I guess he picked the Lagos one because of what he does for a living.

Another friend was told by the prophet that her current boyfriend was her husband-to-be. She didn’t double date. She believed the word. But unfortunately, they broke up before graduation. So, if prophecy were that accurate, shouldn’t they be married by now?

The third girl was told by a prophet to marry her Jehovah’s Witness boyfriend. The prophecy inspired her so much that she even converted to JW. She invited me once to their assembly, and I had no choice but to follow since we were in the same study group. I admired her loyalty to the guy. But guess what? They’re not married today. She’s married now—but to someone else entirely.

I, too, decided to test this prophecy business since they kept saying I didn’t know God. I took three random names to a prophet. What the pastor picked was different from what the Alfa picked. Then another prophet told me something similar but still off. Mind you, I wasn’t even in a relationship—I just wanted to understand how these things work. But the confusion I left with made me conclude: prophecy predictions are largely inaccurate.

2. A Family Member’s Story

When I was a teenager, a close family member was told by a prophet to choose “K” over “A,” but she went ahead to choose “A.” That marriage lasted 20 years and produced 5 children—but eventually crashed.

Her husband lost his job and refused to find another one. The burden of the family fell entirely on her. When she couldn’t take it anymore, she walked out. I advised her against it, but she made up her mind.

Now, some people might say the failed marriage was proof the prophecy came true. But after observing closely, I realized both of them ignored major red flags. It had nothing to do with prophecy. They just weren’t compatible—and they both refused to take responsibility. Even if she had picked “K,” it could’ve still ended the same way. People love to blame prophecy, but the truth is: relationships crash when two adults fail to make it work. It’s not spiritual—it’s practical.

3. My Relationship Experience

I once dated a woman I saw as my “last bus stop.” Out of the blue, she said she was no longer interested because her pastor said we weren’t compatible. I laughed. Not out of disrespect—but because I expected more sense from someone that was educated. I tried to reason with her, but she told me multiple sources confirmed I wasn’t the right one.

To satisfy my curiosity, I contacted some prophets I had worked with before. One asked for her picture. Another confirmed she was the right one. Yet another told me she was a witch. It was all conflicting and ridiculous. I visited prophets for clarity and returned home with more confusion. Thankfully, I didn’t let their manipulation affect me. She believed them and ended things—and I respected her choice. This was how prophecy ruined my relationship and I’m very certain more of these things are still happening.

4. Dating a Religious Woman

There was this woman who always said God speaks to her directly. She bragged that she could hear from God clearly about whom to date and marry. I decided to test it. When I approached her, she told me to give her some time so she could pray about it and “hear from God in her sleep.” I waited. She later said God approved of our relationship. I was expecting God to tell her it was a test run—but anyway, we dated. I left after two weeks and went back to my space.

What I learned here is this: even if someone appears in your dream after you pray about a relationship, it doesn’t mean anything. Love only works when both people are ready to compromise. God won’t come down from heaven to fix bad character. Prayer doesn’t fix disrespect or emotional immaturity.

5. My Mom’s Feedback

It happened years ago when my phone rang, and my mom told me her Alfa said I should avoid dating any light-skinned woman because the marine kingdom wanted to attack me. My sister also called to tell me the same thing. The funniest part? I was already in the talking stage with my partner at the time—and yes, she was light-skinned.

At first, I wanted to ghost her and let her go. But then I told myself, “You’re a man. You should make your own decisions.” I thanked my mom and sister for their concern and told them I had heard what they said. But I ignored the prophecy—and guess what? That relationship lasted for years.

I never noticed any marine spirit. In fact, the memories we created together were some of the best I’ve ever had. The relationship didn’t work out eventually, but not because of any spiritual attack. It failed due to lack of trust and emotional distance—our own faults. She wasn’t ready to take responsibility, and I wasn’t willing to compromise, so we went our separate ways.

That relationship could have worked if we were both willing to fight for it. But we both lost interest when trust faded. If I had listened to the prophet, I would have missed out on such beautiful moments. That alone made me realize no prophet can truly predict the future.

Prophecy or Personal Choice: What Truly Makes a Marriage Work?

There are many things that keep a relationship or marriage alive. The most important ones include love, communication, taking responsibility, reassurance, loyalty, quality time, surprises, and compromise, among others.

If you think about it deeply, you’ll realize that making a relationship or marriage work is more of a personal decision than a spiritual one. What if your prophet says yes, but the signs you’re seeing say otherwise? Would you still go ahead? That would be risky. Because prayers can’t fix lack of communication, absence of quality time, or lack of understanding—those are personal choices.

So when you’re deciding who to spend your life with, put your own choice first. Pay attention to the signs. The signs are always there, but prophecies are just predictions—they may or may not come to pass.

Do Prophecies Work?

Prophecy is just another form of prediction. It’s like betting—you hope to win, but most times your ticket cuts. That’s what prophecy is: hope, not certainty. If you make your life decisions based solely on prophecy, you might end up confused, manipulated, and full of regrets. Even pastors and Alfas get divorced. Didn’t they see their own heartbreak coming? Choose someone who’s good for you, not someone who’s good for your prophet. Life is full of change. Anyone can change—prophecy or not.
