For the past few days, pastor Adeboye’s advice to youths on marriage
have been trending all over the place. I suspect that the good pastors
yarns tells me that he is a man suspended in time, between old and new
school. Don’t get it twisted, in as much as I flow with his definition
of a good woman, from his statement I see that the obvious way to his
heart is through his stomach and of cause through prayers. Good, No
wahala.
So if my wife to be can’t rant, chant, shout and generally carry on as a prayer warrior, praying for a whole hour, the woman doesn’t deserve a wife status. Abi?
However our amiable pastor rubs it in when he starts to yarn Akpata, ” Marry a warrior, if a girl cannot pray for one hour, don’t marry her. Don’t marry a girl who is lazy, who cannot cook. She needs to know how to do chores and cook because you cannot afford to eat out at all times” Hummm na wa! Really? Seriously?

Oga pastor, that one na missyarn. Over praying does not make one a better husband or wife, because the world especially Naija is filled with Fake people and “Fakest” pastors. Does a man having a job guarantee that he will make a good husband? Does a woman knowing how to cook guarantee she will make a good wife? Haba.Ok I get it, The Nigerian god has an ear infection, so we must shout and pray for hours because that’s the only way he may listen to our prayers, right? I know that a man is suppose to marry a helper and not a cook or a house girl. By the way, is anything wrong with encouraging your young male congregation to learn how to cook and do chores too.
“Do not marry a worldly lady” what the heck does that mean? Is it about being materialistic or just being fashionable, looking nice. I guess in your book we can’t be a good Christian if we got swagg and we are trendy. Judge not pastor. We must all not look like Deeper Life people to have a personal relationship with God. By the way, if you want to start writing your own commandment you may as well write your own version of the bible for your congregation. Na una way.Being married should never define a man or a woman. Marriage in a few years anyways, will be out of fashion. Being married is only nice if we are lucky to pick a partner who will be our friend, if not, that maybe hell on earth. All of us must not get married if our threshold for nonsense and garbage is low. The world is obviously changing and we are no longer in the 60s. Who wants to be suffering and smiling. Most importantly marriage should not be a milestone for anyone. Yes o.

Tooo many people got this stuff completely wrong. He didnt say you should marry a woman who should pray for 1 hour everyday.
ReplyDeleteAtleast she should love praying nd should also be able to go on an hour long prayer without any remorse or complain. What is one hour even???.
I agree with u. People are just exaggerating.
DeleteBut a woman should know how to cook na, there's an adage that says the way to a man's heart is thru his stomach! Not like it's compulsory for women to become cooks cos d men can help out too but it's just a normal thing for a woman to cook for her husband!
ReplyDeleteOk..each to his /her opinion.. no need to conform to the world's definition of what a good man/woman is as long as you happy in it...that's all that matters..everyone's story is unique.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a really bad teaching in the body of Christ fine it sounds like it good but shouldn't be heard from a pastor but rather a motivational speaker..Talking about marriage who is a godly partner? it is that who God has chosen for you and irrespective of the weakness you are meant to become one and correct it.The imperfections of one is corrected by the other fine money is good ,good food is essential bit is it enough to build a home? haven't we seen rich guys marriage fall or caterers and hard working dry cleaners marriage fail?? Am in fact disappointed #ThatCelestianGirl
DeleteThe most important thing is a woman should know how to have sex.

DeleteAll this is not necessary Mr CB, why can't u just ignore the write up instead of all this plenty talk na wah oh
