He had also made some statements while counseling youths of the church on marriage saying, “Marry a prayer warrior! If a girl cannot pray for one hour, don’t marry her.” and “Don’t marry a girl who cannot cook, she needs to know how to do chores and cook because you cannot afford to be eating out all the time.”
And udring one of his service he said “I don’t want to see any of my pastors looking like fellows from the training camps of Al-Qaeda,” These were the words that came from the pulpit of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), warning pastors of his church against growing beards.
The comments have caused uproar on social media. Read what people had to say below:

The best is to look at the fruit. Some prayer warriors’ hearts are far from God.
THAT CAN NOT BE POSSIBLE YOU CAN NEVER BE A PRAYER WORRIOR AND HAVE YO HEART FAR FROM GOD FOR ITS NOT EASY TO PRAY UNLESS GOD UNABLES U
I mean some people are Actors, you may think they are praying yet they are playing. Remember the Pharisee and the other man.
well some so called “prayer warriors” mahule yapeshamano..and yeah,why keep a beard when your work is at the pulpit? who do u want to seduce music church? ba choir?
Am sure he was quoted out of context. He must have been trying stress a point. Media always picks out one statement from the whole to attract attention.
I know many church females who are desperate to get married. You know what? Because they have no faith and they’re in those churches to hide their dark side.
Pastor uyu libolo lol
Li pastor ili..muleikala fye..
Whoever this pastor is, I conquer with him. Today marriages are not that firm because they lack prayers. At least a couple should spend an hour in the presence of God
Abalume nabaya mukunwa ama herniken abakashi mukachasu. Couples pa Zed.
You can pray for an hour but saying mere words. It is not about how long you should pray but to pray when you are connected, meaning from the heart.
Pastor, follow biblical teachings. If you start sensationalising the word of God, next you’ll preach to the church not to marry abateka amass!!! Keeping a beard or not is a personal matter. Why insist on praying for one hour when we should “pray without ceasing”? Ukose iwe pastor. You’ll end up like Nevers Mumba.
@also kikikikiki lol,thought the same thing too,but I remembered “thou shall not touch the anointed”
Am a Church yama suit me chisungu mafwa basis. You remember pastor nyirongo? Okay bag age am a guys
Fullness of time, ala ninsanga mo ukufilwa muli aba batata. Let him read more from the book of reveration.
Bane nama church yena tulesala.
A woman who knows how to communicate with God is good for society.
Whether its for a husband or her family or circle of friends; because she can take matters to her Maker and knows how to handle matters with God’s guidance.
We have seen too many calamities from ungodly women and men.
We need men and women who can talk to our Maker and get answered prayer!
