Daddy G. O is just trying to pass a message that the social media is destroying a lot of Relationship/​Marriages, most especially the Facebook but the combination supposed​ to be Facebook/WhatsApp and so on but not YouTube.

smartty68:
In as much as its wrong to judge a man of God, I'll say Adeboye was wrong for making such a comment

What is wrong in judging a man of God. Did Peter not Judge the leaders of the church in corinth?

it's okay everyone u can marry from anywhere as long as it makes you happy. he just thought his advice is needed but it turned out to be useless just go ahead and marry your heart God bless

Indeed you are a smart man... Wisdom is profitable to direct.

sholeypra:
It could be very funny and unethical by the twitter handler, I wanna believe that statement was coined from his sermon and you all would agree there are some instances which could have led to that statement. Would love to have the full sermon to understand what he said. Funny enough it could just be on a lighter mood to put some smiles on their faces,it could be an illustration,it could be something else. Have learnt never to draw my conclusion from one instance or a statement...This could be misinterpretation....#Shalom.

Evinsco:


Am only trying to explain what he meant to the unwise nigerians who lack common sense.

The Clergy would have loved to defend himself.

Evinsco:

Guy your madness and mumulism tire me.
Just continue wallowing in stupidity and see where it lands you.
Got no time to deal with nonsense......

Hah, as i said mental retardation is not a crime, its a condition hence i sympathize with you

They should have asked him to explain better not rant rubbish! Logically I get the direction

people just like to make a case out of every statement because it came from a pastor. simply put; beware of social media esp on serious matters like marriage. period. if you don't like the advice, leave it.

CriticMaestro:
the statement is so wrong...firstly facebook is a platform designed specifically for chatting and as such one can toast a girl and get hooked up, but youtube! imagine, how can u find a wife on youtube? this even shows his statement wasnt given a good nice thought
secondly, as a christian tolerance should be one of ur foremost values...first he posted that a woman that cannot cook and pray for one hour should not be wedded...is that a biblical saying or earthly saying, u dont know how this women managed to survive to be what they are today, not everyone had the pleasure of having a caring mother that supports her and let her tag alone all the time..u just dont know people stories, but u keep posting unbiblical statements... u simply view mordenization as a bad thing and to be frank ,this is an archaic way of thinking
and i am sorry to say but u are drowning people instead of saving them
p.s

how old is your brain?

Well said by Daddy G.O, but d way Nigerians retweet enh, no be here lol

these ones are dumb!! whatever a man of God says. take it or leave it..u don't have to use abusive words against him.. ur opinion doesn't matter. only the wise would understand

Evinsco:
Well.....let give respect to whom respect is due......even if you can't respect him as a pastor...respect his old age,he senior most of you parents and he is more experienced on life issues than you are.
So let lay constructive criticisms without going biased on our opinion on this issue.
Me and you know what trends on Facebook....d slay mamas,slay queen,mhiz disand u knw that 95% of our girls want to feel belong,when they see their friends dressing unclad because of likes.
So i will take it that the man is just trying to tell you that you should be cautious and carefull when choosing your wife and not adviceable to pick from facebook.
So if you marry slay queen and d likes.....just be getting ready to be slayed when you later find her nudes/sex videos on youtube.
He that has hear let him hear......

The post on twitter is like a parable.....only d wise can interpret.

Let me translate it for you in 3 languages:

Now that i abused you on nairaland, can i do d same to you on twitter? Do i know u on twitter?

Do i sound sensible to you now?
Does his parable sound sensible to you now?

My take on Pastor Adeboye’s “If you marry a wife through facebook” – Olumide Bada

The internet was awoken yesterday by a statement attributed to Pst Adeboye “If you get your wife through facebook, you’ll loose her on youtube” there were several attacks and criticism concerning the statement even by loyal followers of Pst Adeboye..
I paused deeply too and I realized that Jesus too made many statements during his time, that if he was around and he was posting it on twitter etc he will be severely criticized. Eg statements like “ If your right eye causes you to sin, poke it out and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body, than for your whole body to end up in hell. “ Mat 5:29 “ What? Poke out my eye?? Cut off my hand? Because they made me sin?? Whereas we all know there are deeper meanings to this statement. So it takes deeper revelations to interpret most parables spoken by Men of God.

I am not a very good writer and not also very good at decrypting other people’s parables. Eg Pst Adeboye’s wisdom statement here, because obviously his wisdom is higher than mine, and the gap of such wisdom to mine is very large. But let me use the little insight I have.

So I said to myself, there must be deeper meanings to this statement. So I went digging for the video of the sermon, and found it.. And I now quote verbatim what he said, not what the twitter handler wrote.

“Let me tell you clearly “if you get a wife through THE facebook, you will loose her through THE youtube..you can quote me..any marriage that is concocted through the facebook is going to crash through the youtube, no doubt about that. Our forefathers said it before me..they said it in Yoruba, the interpretation is what I’ve already given you. They said “iyawo ti a ba fi ijo fe, iran lo ma wo lo..”..

And he went straight to give an illustration of a man who met his wife in church, one will expect the next illustration to buttress this will be a man that met his wife through facebook . It’s the story of a beautiful girl whose beauty did not match her character and the marriage failed..Meaning he was also taking about knowing someone on face value alone. Which is not enough.


My take, just my take…
He said any marriage “concocted” through the facebook.. Concocted means to fabricate, to prepare, to make. Many of us are familiar with concoction in school, mixing several ingredients together to make a “delicacy” that we can eat.
Marriages/relationships concocted, fabricated, made entirely through social media or decided just by face value are headed to fail.

He never said it was wrong to find a spouse via Facebook. I for one know people that met through facebook, and they are happily married now. Social Media is a good meeting place for old and new friends, however when it comes to marriage.. meeting on social media is one thing. But deepening the relationship on social media, courting on social media, proposing on social media etc is quite wrong. Because the social media never reveals the entirety about someone.. We all put up our best pics (pictures can be pretty deceptive, everyone looks good on instagram) and behave ourselves on social media.. to really get to know whether someone is your ideal marriage partner.. you both need to get out of social media and relate in real life, to ascertain how you both truly behave and react in real life.

When Jesus said “ by their fruits you shall know them.. (Mathew 7:16) That knowing he talks about is a deeper knowing than social media can present to you,. The Greek meaning for “know” means “to be fully acquainted with” and that full acquaintance with someone can never be offered to you via social media.. You don’t know his/her fruits, such marriages are bound to crash because there was never a full acquaintance of each other.

So many things are likely to happen if you keep courting on facebook, and you eventually both get married after that, likely things that happen to hamper the foundation of such relationships are: misinterpretation of chat discussions, obsession over her friends list, temptations to post nasty things on each other’s wall when there are issues, annoyance that he or she has not change his relationship status, using your status updates to score points, fixation over his/her tagged pictures etc

Where does the youtube thing come in? It’s another social media . Youtube is particularly more about videos..”a louder/nosier social platform” In a relationship that there was no deep knowing between individuals. When such marriages break up, it blows up in greater proportions, that those that never even knew about the struggles behind the relationship are now able to “see“ it and the relationship becomes a wrong model for all to view. The breakage is sometimes more noisier than the marriage.

Is your relationships entirely concocted through social media? Social media many a times too will aid its crashing, and publicize its crashing.

Hence the Yoruba proverb “iyawo ti aba fi ijo fe, iran ni yio wo lo” meaning the bride you married from a party she will surely go away through dance. eg She will leave you via the help of same medium the courting/marriage arrangement where made.

Facebook makes it easy to find and connect with people from your past, it can also place a strain on relationships. A survey conducted by a UK divorce website revealed that Facebook is commonly cited as a reason for divorce. Seeing a partner befriending or talking to someone on Facebook with whom she had a previous relationship can cause anxiety and insecurity. People might also turn to Facebook when they are in fights or disagreements with their partners. This can lead to dirty laundry being aired in public through inappropriate comments or status updates posted in anger. Couples that break up can also use Facebook as a platform to get back at their ex-partners, which can jeopardize future relationships. In a survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Facebook is cited as the primary source of compromising information that leads to divorce.

If you meet on social media, don’t get the entire process done there. Come out of social media much regularly; come into the real world so that the real and true process of “knowing” can take place. Social media can never help you to be fully acquainted with someone in other to know his/her fruits, and the right fruits determine whether you should go ahead with the marriage

This is purely my take, and not intended to reduce or misinterpret what was said..

Thanks

Think what? Not everyone is as foolish as you. Now let me educate you on why nobody is taking you seriously.

You say 95% of the females on Facebook are slay queens and all that, please where did you get that statistics from? Or did you form it from your anus?? If you got it from a research post the link here & educate us.

Even if we take your anus smelling statistics to be true, doesn't that also mean that 95% of the females on RCCG Facebook page are slay queens? Why is he now entertaining them?? It was a stupid statement and became worse by your shameless explanation.

Do you even know what YouTube is? It's a video sharing website where people just search for what they want to watch. Inukwaa??

Let's go with your assumption now & say that a man hooks up with a woman on Facebook and she turns out to be a slay queen. Do you think the person cannot be forgiven and turn a new leaf and lead a happy married life?

John 1 - 11: Jesus forgave a woman whonhad committed adultery. Do you assume she didn't lead a positively changed life after that?

This is why nobody takes you seriously, this is why you are foolish. Please accept it & hug transformer.

[b] I don't blame you.
Your mentality is no different from that of a goat.
U are as stupid as what you just typed up there.
Am not going to argue with a shameless Fool....who cannot use is brain to think critically.

You said he was entertainin them....mumu how? Is he not talking to his members....why you carry him mata for head....are Rccg members not on facebuk....is he not advising them to be carefull with women they meet on fb....like i said earlier u are just as senseless as your post.....you were not there when he was preaching...you just come down here and start ranting nonsense.

Right on point my brother. As for us and our households we will keep serving the Lord. Let them keep worshipping their "men of god".

I have attended a prayer session by Adeboye in Malaysia and i respect the man but if he makes an unfortunate statement such as the one he did, i call him out on it.

Not like some other idiots that will try to defend and see delusional meanings in everything both right and wrong.
