During a recent sermon at Harvesters International Christian Centre, Pastor Bolaji Idowu passionately criticized men who enter into marriages solely for financial security.
In his thought-provoking address, Pastor Idowu shed light on the detrimental effects of a consumer mentality among men, who feel inadequate in their own ability to achieve success and therefore seek to marry into wealth or a wealthy family.
Pastor Idowu’s words resonated with his congregation as he highlighted the shamefulness of such behavior. He questioned the integrity of grown men who base their life’s aspirations and strategies solely on finding a rich woman from a wealthy background to marry.
This mindset, according to the pastor, reflects a lack of belief in one’s own potential to succeed and produce.
Furthermore, Pastor Idowu raised concerns about the wisdom behind planning one’s marital finances with the expectation that others will provide financial support for the wedding. He emphasized that this approach demonstrates a lack of critical thinking and personal responsibility.
By addressing this issue head-on, Pastor Bolaji Idowu has sparked a necessary conversation about the importance of genuine love and commitment in marriage, rather than seeking financial security as the primary motivation.
