Don’t Jump Into Marriage Because Somebody Has Money – Bishop Oyedepo Warns

Senior Pastor of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo has warned single people not to jump into marriage because of money.

The man of God said it’s very wrong to consider money first when it comes to marriage.

Telling a story of his own life, the clergyman gave the advice while preaching in his church on Sunday, August 29, revealing that he had no money when he got married to his wife, Faith (that’s about 39 years ago).

In his words:

”You don’t jump into marriage because somebody has money. I didn’t have no money. I didn’t look like someone who will have money. Just one boy who doesn’t know what he is saying, always saying, “Jesus loves you.”

Did we say, “He hates us before”?
