  • The preacher's remarks, captured in a video on Instagram, have prompted massive debate among social media users

Eastwood Anaba Ministries (EAM) founder, Reverend Joseph Eastwood Anaba, has cautioned believing Christians not to settle down with a person solely because the individual belongs to the faith.

With an understanding of human nature, the revered preacher explained during a sermon to congregants that an individual may be a good Christian and yet not possess the qualities of a good spouse.

Reverend Anaba emphasised that one may love God but not their partner with whom they plan to settle down.

“Don’t marry because the person is a Christian ... The fact that a person is a good Christian does not mean he/she would be a good spouse,” the preacher said.

Oam.abundance commented:

You can’t love God and not love your wife. It’s IMPOSSIBLE! So, what we refer to as loving God isn’t loving God. A churchgoer is different from someone who loves God. A churchgoer is different from a Christian. A churchgoer is different from someone who fears God.

Rev Eastwood Anaba wades into tithes and offering saga

Still, on the preacher, YEN.com.gh reported that a video of the president of the Eastwood Anaba Ministries (EAM), Rev Joseph Eastwood Anaba, admonishing Christians with a negative perception of tithing has surfaced on the net.

In the video on the TikTok handle of @eastwoodanabaministries, Rev Anaba expressed amusement over why some people find it difficult to pay 10 per cent of their income as tithes and would go to all lengths to defend why that Christian practice should not be adhered to.
