Nigerian clergyman Pastor Bolaji Idowu has elicited mixed reactions with a message to wives with cheating husbands.
In a video making rounds online, the lead pastor of Harvesters church admonished women with cheating partners to confess righteousness out of them. He noted how anytime a man cheats, his wife laments rather than helping him out of the addiction. He reminded them that there is power in the tongue, and anytime they call their husbands cheat, they add more to his problems.
Giving them a solution, he told them to confess righteousness from their cheating husbands and declare the word of God on them.
“Any small thing my husband is a serial cheater. What you are saying is a problem also because you are adding to his problem by confessing it. If your husband is a cheater, confess righteousness out of him. Look at him with tears, ‘Honey, I know what you did. I know it was very bad but you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You are a Holy man of God.
The reason for this is every time there is darkness, we speak light. You call it out of him, next time when he’s driving and he sees that lady with the ikebe, the head will say look, he will say ‘I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. The reason why he is everybody rises to words and falls to words”.

Some weeks back, Pastor Bolaji had pleaded with young ladies who are obsessed with being a part of Aso ebi girls. He noted how some Aseobi girls are charged 350,000, equivalent to a two-month salary for others, and how some brides charge their friends exorbitant prices. Pastor Bolaji made an example of Judas Iscariot, noting how not everyone who buys Aseobi at exorbitant amounts is a ‘friend’ to the bride.
He also chastised those living fake lives, informing them that living a fake life will chase one’s helpers away. Pastor Bolaji also made mention of people who borrow money to afford expensive things, advising them to cut their coats according to their size.
