Adeboye advises women to consider suitor’s job before marriage
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has advised young women to prioritise a suitor’s financial stability and character over religious displays. Speaking during the May edition of the Holy Ghost Service, he stressed the importance of spiritual discernment and domestic competence above physical attraction and social status. Adeboye warned women against “sweet-tongued” men and encouraged them to seek evidence of a suitor’s employment. He also offered guidance to men, urging them not to be swayed by outward beauty alone.
