"Don't Marry A Lady That Can't Pray For One Hour" - Pastor Enoch Adeboye


According to a report on Vanguard , the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has taken a very dim view of pastors who try to follow fashion trends and grow their beards . He said : “ I don’ t want to see any of my pastors look
ing like fellows from the training camps of Al- Qaeda .”


He said older people who try to go along with the times rather than set an example for the younger ones cannot command their respect .


He said : “ They often look up to their fathers for direction but if a father himself does not know what he is doing then there something wrong .
“ The youths don ’t respect an elder that looks like them. You are supposed to be their guiding light after they have fooled around. ”


He also spoke on the issue of pastors who try to import tribalism into the church and impose Yoruba songs on the congregation . He said such people should leave the church or die like Annanias and Sapphira while emphasising the need for pastors in other parts of the country to encourage the locals to sing and rejoice in their local dialects .


Pastor Adeboye who seems worried at reports of disruption arising from arranged marriages decreed that no RCCG pastor should be seen to be involved in arranging marriages among brethren in the church.


It will be recalled that Pastor Adeboye had earlier counselled youths of the church on marriage , saying “ don’ t ever marry outside the church and you have no reason to marry outside RCCG. The reason is that if you are both from the same church even when trouble comes it is easier for the pastors to handle it !

“ Don ’t marry a girl simply because she can sing ! In the choir there are some people that can sing but they are fallen angels ! Marry a prayer warrior ! If a girl cannot pray for one hour, don’ t marry her.


“ Don ’t marry a girl who is lazy ! Don ’t marry a girl who cannot cook , she needs to know how to do chores and cook because you cannot afford to be eating out all the time.

“ Don ’t marry a girl who is worldly ! If you do , you have carried what you’ll worship for the rest of your life!” he advised .

The 74 - year General Overseer also enjoined all pastors in the church to regularly do a medical check up to avoid unnecessary and sudden deaths that can be avoided with proper care .

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...

Ijakumo Movie Review

  Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give.  Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words???  I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

FLAWS AND DENTS (Fiction)

FLAWS AND DENTS "Will you marry me? " he asked,  on a bent knee, a wide grin spread across his mouth. Fiona stopped sipping her margarita, her hand stuck on her straw as I gaze at him in shock. He gazed back at her , waiting earnestly for her response. She bent her head as tears welled up in her eyes. One, two they dropped and before she knew it,  the floodgates opened. Her shoulders shook as the tears came cascading down her face. He quickly stood from where he knelt and rushed to her side. "Honey,  why the tears?  Talk to me,  why are you crying?  You know you can talk to me about anything?  What did I do wrong? " He begged as he held her face and tried to wipe her face with his handkerchief. "Baby.... " She started as another bout of tears took over her. "Honey,  these tears are killing me.  I can't stand seeing you like this anymore. Please talk to me,  I beg of you. " She tried to steady her whirling emotions as ...
