Question:
Please, I will like to know your opinion about using safety pin during pregnancy as a Christian lady. Someone said that a pregnant lady should be using it. I asked her what is the significance and she said that is how they are doing it.
Answer (Pastor Taiwo Iredele Odubiyi):
There are things that the people of the world can do but which Christians must not do or believe in.
This is because we are a chosen generation, called out to show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness, into His marvelous light.
Use of pins during pregnancy, etc, are works of darkness.
But we are not of darkness!!!
A Christian should be ready to speak and declare God’s words and will to such people. If you don’t, they will win you to their side if care is not taken.
It’s pathetic to know that some Christians do these things. They put wool or thread on the head of a child who has hiccup.
Works of darkness!!!
These are superstitions that are being passed down.
Unfortunately, behind every superstition is a demon. Its not ordinary.
Beloved. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Using a pin is believed to provide protection for mother and the unborn baby, from evil spirits,
But as a Christian, it is very wrong and a sin not to depend on God for protection.
There’s a demon behind the belief, and it is to lure people away from God, and make them turn to other gods.
Therefore my beloved, turn away from idolatry.
