The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye stated that “i will kill anyone who tampers with my wife” during his 50th wedding anniversary service sermon titled ‘Activating Destiny’ at the church’s National Headquarters Ebutte Metta.
The Man of God further said, he wouldnt mind if anyone slanders him or backbites him but for the wife, he said he would kill such a person not with physical death but spiritually. He added that such a person would sleep and would be unable to rise up.
“Be ready to lay down your life for your partner if you’re truly in love. My wife doesn’t like me saying this. You can slap me; you can lie against me, you can criticise me, it doesn’t bother me, but touch my wife, I’ll kill you!
“I want the world to hear. They’ll say if I killed they’ll arrest me, jail me, that is if I killed with cutlass or gun. If you tamper with my wife, I will talk to my Daddy and you’ll sleep and will not wake.”
Meanwhile the man of God charged couples to be ready to lay down their lives at any point in time for themselves and those who are ready to marry should do that for love and not for any other reason. He spiced his sermon up when he advice singles to marry pastor for the commands it draws.
“If you want to marry a person who’s influential, marry a pastor. If he does not fall into sin, he’ll remain a pastor forever, ” he noted.
According to Pastor Adeboye Honeymoon never ends when there’s true love and transparency in marriage. He used himself as an example, married for 50years to his wife Pastor Folu Adeboye now but never been out of the honeymoon. Lots of laugh. It’s The truth.
Marry for love. It’ll endure. I’ve been married for 50 years and still on honeymoon. I was the poorest among those lurking around the girl I married. One was a lawyer who had a car; I had nothing. But I told the girl that if you marry me, whatever I am, wherever I ever become, will be yours.
I was not a Christian, but i was an incurable optimist. We struggled over as I usually hear me say, but today if we want to eat a cow now, God will provide. After our wedding in September 8, 1967, we faced challenges. The baby came 1968. It was tough. We were happy because we were in love. I had no car, no house, a marriage into a rented room and a parlour. We have stories to tell. If you marry for love, the reason it will last is because God is love.
You must continue to tend the fire, meaning: no matter how little, you must constantly give gifts to your partner. If it’s given in love, it’ll be appreciated. When two people are in love, they exchange gifts. Always open your mouth to say to your partner.
