In the viral X clip, the man of God was seen addressing female congregants with advice on relationships and marriage, cautioning them against considering men who give very small church offerings.
According to him, a man’s level of giving in church reflects his attitude toward appreciation and financial responsibility, arguing that such behaviour should be taken into account by a potential wife.
“Any boy who gives an offering of GH¢10 or GH¢20 is not ready for marriage. His finances are zero; don’t marry. If a man can be stingy with God, what about you, a mere human?” he said.
He further added that individuals who fail to show generosity towards God are unlikely to be generous with their partners in relationships.
“A guy who cannot appreciate God; you think he can appreciate you?” he stated.
The comments have generated mixed reactions online, with many users debating the pastor’s message and its implications for faith, relationships, and financial expectations in marriage.
Watch as the preacher advises his female congregants against marrying a certain class of men in the video on X below.
