“The devil doesn’t come in red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you’ve ever wished for.”

Have you ever wondered why many relationships don’t turn into successful unions? Have you ever imagined why many relationships that start on a sweet note suddenly turn cold and soar?. And have you ever pondered on the reason why many relationships hit the skids? The answer is not farfetched. The reason for all these painful experiences is as result of most people’s association with the wolves. According to research, wolves rarely attack humans, but the severity of their attack cannot be underestimated. It is right to say that based on evidence and reports on few recent cases of wild wolves attack in relationships are partly caused by people. Many people are the cause of their pain because they failed to resist the enticements of people who are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

THE SEVERITY OF WOLVES ATTACK IN RELATIONSHIPS CANNOT BE UNDERESTIMATED

WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

I’ve studied about too many convincing apex predators in my lifetime, but perhaps none are more ravenous, voracious and dangerous as the proverbial ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’. The Bible gave an insight about them in Matthew 7:15(GNT):

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”

Many people have fallen victims to these wolves in their relationships and were left for dead with painful experiences. They were devoured of their money, time, energy, pride and even emotions. There are people who have also lost to their lives as a result of their meanderings with these dangerous wolves. This could be as a result of ignorance, which the Bible warned about in 2 Corinthians 2:11(GNT):

“Lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not of his devices”.

We make ourselves vulnerable to the attacks of these wolves when we fail to learn about their evil devices. On the other hand, throwing caution to the wind is another reason many people suffer in relationships when obviously they knew that these wolves would attack. The Bible warned on this too in 1 Corinthians 10:12(GNT):

“Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall”.

MANY PEOPLE ARE THE CAUSE OF THEIR PAIN BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO RESIST THE ENTICEMENTS OF WOLVES IN A SHEEP’S CLOTHING.

For a better understanding, wolves in sheep’s clothing with regards to relationships refer to people. The big question now is: “How can we identify these wolves in sheep’s clothing when choosing an ideal partner to date or be in a relationship with?”. In his best-selling book “The Art of War” written over 2,500 years ago, Chinese General, Military Strategist, Writer and Philosopher, Sun Tzu gave an strong advice on the strategy for war. He wrote: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles”. These are quite interesting bullet words of wisdom. Wolves are enemies of our happiness and a major way to combat their attacks is to know them and discover their evil schemes.

Here are wise points to guide us on this:

1. WOLVES ARE DECEPTIVE HOWLERS:

Howling is the main call language of wolves, and this is their real “charm offensive”. Biologists have discovered a wide range of possible reasons why wolves howl. Two major reasons are: to communicate their position, and to attract or entice a mate. It is imperative you understand that wolves are smooth talkers. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, by definition, a smooth talker is someone who says flattering things that may be intended to deceive people. When choosing the ideal partner for a dating relationship, be cautious of people who use deceptive and sweet words to extort your resources and also to make you feel they are right for you just to lure you to do ungodly things. Their motives and intentions towards you are usually not genuine. The Bible warns against them in Romans 16:17-18(GNT) :

“Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve the Lord Jesus Christ, but their won belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple”.

2. WOLVES ARE APEX PREDATORS:

Another key fact you need to know about the wolves is that they are apex predators. By biological definition, an apex predator is a carnivore at the top of a food chain that preys on other animals, but is not preyed upon by any other animal. For better understanding, this is a person who feeds on other people, but cannot be fed on by other people. In reference to relationships, an apex predator can be likened to people we refer to as “friends with benefits”. They are the facilitators and beneficiaries in a parasitic relationship. Professional Trainer and Relationship Coach, Tekena Ikoko also wrote: “Every relationship is subject to abuse if only one’s person’s interest is the focus of the relationship”. Rightly said and you also need to keep off from people who are self-centered and only look for ways to steal or exploit you in a relationship. The Bible also warns about them in John 10:10(GNT):

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…”

When you discover these traits in a potential date, then, flee as far as you can.

3. WOLVES ARE OPPORTUNISTS:

Wolves are opportunists. They test their prey by sensing any weaknesses or vulnerability through visual cues and even through hearing and scent. Also, they are unrelenting and energetic in their pursuit of a prey even over long distances, and can do so with endurance until they get what they want. Another key point is that they chase in packs. They use their deceptive howling scheme to assemble their pack and to confuse their prey. This is same with the ricks used by wolves in relationships. They tend to exploit your emotional weaknesses by acting all too romantic and caring just to get what they want from you. They are tale bearers who profess lies about the love they have for you, and even go as far as creating a picture of who they are not. They live on falsehood and can cook up cock and bull stories and bring in fellow opportunists like them to act as witnesses just to make sure their manipulative and cunning schemes work. Again, the Bible also reveals about them in Matthew 7:16(GNT):

“You will know them by their fruits…”

BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WILL KNOW WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHINGS

Choosing a person to be in dating relationship with is like going to car merchandiser to buy a car. Don’t be too in a hurry to purchase and drive off with the car. Make sure you do your findings about the car dealer, the car manufacturer, its durability and also do well to seek assurances that will help you get an asset and not a liability. Learn from the wolves principles.
