‘Don’t Marry A Girl Who Can’t Cook, Pray For One Hour’— Pastor Adeboye Warns Bachelors

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye has advised young men to avoid marrying girls who cannot cook or pray for one hour non-stop.

The pastor’s message on marriage, triggered debate, with thousands taking to the Internet to protest or support his positions on the categories of people Christians should marry.

Adeboye advised, “Marry a prayer warrior! Don’t marry any girl who cannot pray for one hour non-stop. Don’t marry a girl who is lazy! If she is lazy when she is single, what will happen if she is married?”

Adeboye also said: “Don’t ever marry outside the church and you have no reason to marry outside RCCG,” Adeboye is quoted as saying to his congregation.

“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!”

In another video, he warned, “Don’t marry a man who has no job. Before God gave Adam Eve, he gave him a job. He said, ‘This is the garden, keep it.’ So when anybody comes to you and say, ‘Sister, thus saith the Lord, you are going to be the star in my firmament,’ ask him — ‘What is your job?’”

For over six hours, Adeboye trended on twitter, with many countering his claims while others insisted the soft-spoken preacher was on track.
