Adeboye contradicts self, says marriage message meant for everybody

Foremost Nigerian pastor and General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, seem to be having a difficult time deciding who his messages are targeted at.

Less than 24 hours after pointing out that his messages were not targeted at everybody, Adeboye has said his guidelines on marriage are meant for everybody.

The pastor had drawn the ire of many in social media circles for telling his audience not to marry a woman that could not cook or pray for at least one hour among other things.

In the video which went viral, Adeboye warned his church youths not to “ever marry outside the church and you have no reason to marry outside RCCG.

“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!”

In Adeboye’s “disclaimer” Facebook post, not only did he say his messages were not targeted at everybody, he also “plead with you, ask God to speak to you specifically”.

But he has now said his admonitions about marriage should be taken seriously by everybody. In fact, as seriously as they take “making heaven”.
