CChurches
ministering to women problems?
The present church is not adequately doing that and that is
why people like me set up this kind of organisation to fill
in the gap.
The problem of women goes back to what happened in the Garden
of Eden, and for this reason some men are so biased today
that they see nothing good in women. Some say woman means
Woe unto man. In Yoruba, they say Iyawo (wife) mean Iya wo (look at suffering) some would say woman means Eni to wo man
lule (person who destroys man)
Attitudes of men to women preachers
How many men attend women conference? Most men will not concentrate
in cChurches when women preach. Men should know that the Holy
Spirit is neither a man nor a woman. When Jesus was here,
he gave everybody who sought Him equal attention.
Can
Christians divorce?
Yes, I agree but the bottom line is still the foundation.
That is why I tell my students that if you marry an unbeliever,
the devil is your father in-law and he has no nature of mercy.
Now, no Christian would encourage divorce and if you discourage
it some people are dying in some relationships. What do we
do? That is why we say prevention is better than cure. If
they had taken time to get the right man in a right way through
the Lord, it will reduce the stress.
I believe that if it will take your life, you can separate
but the bible is clear on that. If a woman leaves and the
husband is alive, you are not permitted to remarry.

If you do, you are living in adultery. Biblically, there is no room for divorce. But the fact that you are divorced does not mean you will not make heaven.
Of
course, divorce brings pains and the society makes you look
odd but that will not prevent you from heaven. The person
has to get up again, the scar may be there but God, not time,
will heal it. I have always told people that Christians don’t
date, we court.
Dating
is trial by error, going out to know his character, his person,
etc. No. As a Christian, that is settled. Once you know the
Lord is leading you, you begin your courtship by cutting on
your excesses, creating a foundation, building your future
and get married.
Third
party in marriage
The third party is not evil in all cases. A couple can speak
out at any point because you can’t afford to die in
your problem. Some people have gone through what you are going
through today, so at each point in life, some people are ahead
of you.
I am however not talking of idle chatter or indiscriminate
opening of the mouth to whomever comes your way. Consultation
should be done with people you highly respect, not necessarily
your friends or parents but people who have no stake or real
interest in your marriage other than see you grow and praying
for you. In fact every couple must have a counselor, if you
like your spiritual parent.
What do you think of computer
dating?
It is demonic. It is not allowed in Christendom. As I said
earlier, in Christendom, you don’t date, you court and
you don’t court someone you don’t know or pray
with. You don’t court someone God has not led you to.
Of course, God does not choose for any man, he leads a man
to choose his spouse.
