Pastor David Ibiyeomie the founder and lead minister of Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, has banned his followers from enjoying their marital rights as the church commences twenty-one-day fasting.

Pastor Ibiyeomie on Sunday declared a 21-day fasting and prayer for the church.

To this end, he has ordered married couples in the church to suspend the consummation of their conjugational rights until the end of the 21 days of spiritual exercise.

Speaking during the church’s Sunday thanksgiving service for the year 2023, Pastor Ibiyeomie told his congregation that physical intimacy would not be allowed during the period of fasting, stating that abstinence from sex for only three weeks will not kill anyone.

Giving Bible references to back his claims, the cleric read recommended 1 Corinthians 7:5 for the couples.

The Bible scripture given by Pastor Ibiyeomi reads: “The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, – 1 Corinthians 7:5”.

Pastor Ibiyeomi charged couples who believe they can break their fasting with food and sexual affairs for the day to stir clear from it.
According to him, such kind of mentality is associated with persons who wish to twist the Bible to gratify their fleshly lust.

“Abstain from sex this fasting season because I’ve heard people say, ‘My husband said that once we break since we eat food, we should eat this one too’! So, ah! I’ve heard it! As a pastor, they say please talk to my husband that we are fasting”, the cleric said.

So finally he concedes that the starvation-diet ritual fasting exercises no dey do anything for anyone so that is why he wants to add sex deprivation to the ritual list. Next year, you will ask them all to shave their heads and they will do it too, those gullible numbnuts who listen to these men are unbeweavable

Lols... Religion in Nigeria is heavy oooo.....
But come to think of it, biblically, having sex during fasting is quite wrong, becoz the aim of fasting is to deprive yourself of the good things of the flesh....
Now the issues be say why have sex during fasting..?? Before fasting una no do?? After fasting una say Lai Lai e no go sweet.. na the one during fasting una want....

Arise O Compatriots..........

I've always known Ibiyeomie to be a very smart man, he banned only couples

So we the young guys are free to patronize olosho, dey play!

Jesus of Arimathea, Rivers branch has spoken.

I think he should also add that for couples who can’t stay that long without sex should abstain from fasting so as not to give room to the devil.

Left to me, sex should be suspended during fasting.

One of the biggest threats to marriages in today's Christendom is marrying ladies who obey their pastors more than their husbands.

These pastors should know their limits.

But its not right to have sex during fasting

These people are funny ooh! Are you suppose to have sex when fasting? Hmmmm

Only couples.... singles ride on

I wanted to condemn him, then I saw the Bible verse that gave backing to what he said, so I don shut up

lukency:
These people are funny ooh! Are you suppose to have sex when fasting? Hmmmm

is sex food ?

He wan follow them go house?

He shouldn't have said this because he will be the topic for the couples while changing sex styles and they will angrily and annoyingly fvck the hell out of themselves.

Sex wey be say na him couple dey use plan, manage and reason Nigeria current hardship.

Ban ko, Buccaneer ni

Husbands and wives ooo

lukency:
These people are funny ooh! Are you suppose to have sex when fasting? Hmmmm

Sex is not a sin.

It's not bad if he preaches abstinence from it for those who can't do without it but banning it entirely because of the fasting season get as e be.

Let him also ban all manners of sin!

fornication is a terrible sin flee from it

Peter Obi is coming to Aso Rock with speed

He doesn't need to ban anything.

u wey dey for fasting and fuckq still dey hungry you simply means you are still comfortable and your need for SOLUTIONS is not greater than your need for pleasure which you can always have 247, you don't even need the fasting at all.

Banned?!!... As what exactly?!!

Well, I'm almost certain he never used such strong term... This blogger is just trying to sell a non-news!

Warris dis, god of men

This is exactly the problem with religion in Nigeria. Since it is not regulated, anyone can wake up and say anything and expect people to follow sheepishly.

Even the Bible doesn't support what this man is saying.

Ibieyomie is quoting from the Old Testament.
The Old Testament where Ibieyomie is quoting from states that tithes and offerings are for Levites. Is Ibieyomie a Levite?
But he is collecting tithe in God's name and spending it on God's behalf.

Fasting or no fasting, I dey climb my wife.

No be him go tell me wetin I go do. E no follow me pay brideprice!

No job

Assistant god.
All these modern day Pharisees.

But they can have sex to make babies and claim babies are gift, blessings from their sky God and that their sky God created the baby [human] crooked scamming tiff! and his gullible brainwashed fools.
