  • Pray for your wife if she is not submissive – Mike Bamiloye

    Pray for your wife if she is not submissive – Mike Bamiloye

    Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, founder of Mount Zion Ministries has advised married men on what to do if their wives are not submissive.

    The renowned clergyman said when a woman chooses to be arrogant, proud and unsubmissive to her husband, she has broken the commandment of the Lord, which demands her to respect her husband and be submissive to him.

    He said there is no way a woman who disobeys the laws of God can make heaven no matter how spiritual she may look before people.

    Mike Bamiloye added that he has seen such a woman being cherished in the hand of her husband, after struggling for a long time in the marriage.

    In his words:

    “When a woman chooses to be arrogant, proud, and unsubmissive to her husband, she has broken the commandment of the Lord, which demanded from her to respect her husband and be submissive to him, as the Head, just as the Church does to Christ.

    When a woman chooses to punish a man by denying him access to her body, when the Bible says a wife should not do so in I Corinthians 7, she has broken the Commandment of the Lord and sinned against God.

    When a woman is trying to be the head of the home when God says it is the spiritual role of the man, but trying to take over the control of the home, demanding that whatever she says must be done, turning the husband into a puppet; such woman has flagrantly discarded the law of the Most High God by disrespecting and dishonouring her husband.

    Now, when a woman lives like this, be on the Lord’s side. Such is definitely working for the devil, no matter how dedicated she may be to the service of the Lord. Even some Pastors’ wives are in this category.

    They believe their husbands are hooked and caged; they believe the man would never do anything to tarnish the name of the Lord or allow any scandal to their long-term ministry, SO HE DARE NOT CRY OUT, therefore, they maltreat the men at home and call the shot at home while the man calls the shot in the church. Some ministers of God are crying inside their hearts while they smile at their church congregations.

    There is no way a woman who lives in perpetual disobedience to the laws of God can make heaven, however spiritual she may look before people. What is my last word to the men who are in the cage of contentious women, keep holding on to the Lord.

    I have seen such women becoming completely transformed and highly submissive to the man and becoming helpful in his ministry. I have seen such woman becoming a royal gem in the hand of her husband, after a long time of struggles in a contentious marriage. God can do it. Let the woman become your prayer point. Keep loving her. Keep playing your own spiritual roles of a Godly man: love her, cherish and honour her, and keep praying for her. So that you don’t lose your soul. May the Lord heal such a marriage.”

  • Why I prefer marrying witch to prayer warrior as wife – Daddy Freeze

    Why I prefer marrying witch to prayer warrior as wife – Daddy Freeze

    Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Daddy Freeze, a controversial media figure, has explained why he would instead marry a witch than a prayer warrior as wife.

    Opeyemi, his estranged wife, was not “a praying wife,” he claimed.

    He claimed that it did not concern him since he does not require a praying wife.

    He said that even though he only prays for five minutes a day, he still receives messages from God.

    In a video message shared via his Instagram page recently, Daddy Freeze stated, “They said a woman that prays is a valuable asset. Not to me, because I can pray for myself. I walk with God in such a way that I pray five minutes a day, and I get everything I asked for because I am always hearing from God.

    “So, I don’t need a praying wife. Instead of giving me a praying wife, give me witch or a mermaid that will be useful in other areas.

    Leave that praying to me. As a spirit, I am. I don’t need a praying wife. Even my ex was never really a praying wife. If it’s prayer, she just started now. She was never a praying wife and it didn’t matter to me.”

  • My wife’s adulterous lifestyle is negatively affecting my daughter – Herbalist tells court

    My wife’s adulterous lifestyle is negatively affecting my daughter – Herbalist tells court

    A herbalist, Kasali Yinusa has pleaded with a Mapo Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Ibadan to dissolve his nine-year-old union to his estranged wife, Abosede on the grounds that her adulterous lifestyle was having negative effects on their daughter.

    Yunusa, accused Abosede of being short-tempered, fighting every now and then with people in the neighbourhood.

    “I’m most unhappy with the high level of immorality Abosede has impacted on our only child. Since, Abosede and the child no longer stay with me, I notice that the child is exhibits some bad manners whenever she visits me.

    ”Abosede is too wasteful. I stock up her shop with goods but at the end of the sales, she squanders the proceeds,” he alleged.

    The petitioner, consequently, begged to be given custody of the child.

    However, Abosede did not comment on most of the contending issues raised by the petitioner.

    Abosede, who is a trader, pointed out that her husband never played the role of a good father.

    ”He refuses to pay our child’s school fees. In fact, that was the reason why I started going to the church, seeking divine intervention.

    ”He gets angry whenever my baby sings church hymns. My lord, whenever Yinusa extorts money from me and I’m unable to provide it, he beats me up.

    “Also, I am the sixth wife in his home. He married another woman when I was three months pregnant,” ” Abosede stated.

    Delivering judgment, the court’s President, Mrs S.M. Akintayo held that there was no marriage to be dissolved between Yinusa and Abosede because their union, initially, was not based on traditional laws.

    ”None of the parties stated that there was payment of bride price and giving of gifts, which are essential requirements before a traditional marriage can be considered as valid.

    ”The fact that a man and a woman lived together and had children, does not mean that they are married,” she held.

    Akintayo granted custody of the seven-year-old child to  Abosede because she was in a better position to cater for her.

    The judge granted the order restraining the respondent from harassing, intimidating and interfering in the personal life of the petitioner henceforth.
