Reno Omokri Writes About Wedding, Christianity And Church by gbaskiboy: 11:10am On Jun 20, 2020 |
Mr Reno Omokri the former aide to ex- president GoodLuck Jonathan. I always follow his daily nuggets on facebook and on twitter. Bbut i found this one so interesting. Fellow nairalands what do you think about his post about wedding? Wedding dress https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10221928792306229&id=1152008079 The power a priest or pastor has to say ‘I now pronounce you man and wife’, comes from man, not God. There is no Scriptural authority for that. God Himself pronounces you married once your parents consent to your union! This is how God defines marriage-“a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one”-Genesis 2:24. I have read Scripture from cover to cover in multiple languages. Scripture has no instance of a wedding being done in a church, temple, or synagogue. Isaac married at home (Gen 24:67). Christ attended a wedding at a HOME (John 2:2-10). Isaiah was a prophet. When he wanted to marry a fellow prophetess, all he did was invite 2 witnesses. And immediately the woman moved into his home (Isaiah 8:2-3). No ceremony at all. Are you holier than Isaiah? Hosea’s marriage was captured in only 1 verse-Hosea 1:3. God made marriage EASY. It is humans who made it complicated. Church has no business with wedding https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10221929878893393&id=1152008079 248 Likes 31 Shares

I agree with this. Same thing I was telling a friend that the Traditional wedding/Engagement is the real joining together,others are ceremony. Sad thing though even the Engagement is now poverty alleviation scheme, All thanks to Alaga iduro and ijoko. ![]() 279 Likes 10 Shares |

Not completely correct! A Marriage needs to be Blessed! Someone who stands as a Representative of GOD needs to Bless the Marriage. E.g Pastor, priest, etc GOD ALMIGHTY in the Beginning Blessed Adam and Eve.. Gen 1:28.. The Blessings spoken to a couple is important! All the other things are not really important! Modified; Ignore what people say! GOD ALMIGHTY is a God of Order. Parental Blessings are good and important But do not ignore the Blessings of your Pastor, priest ,etc.. it's very important 77 Likes 10 Shares |

Righteousness89:The representatives of God in a wedding are the parents of the couple, not anyone called Pastor, priest et al. No blessing is greater than the parents’ blessings. God was the father of Adam and blessed them himself, going by your analogy. He didn’t call on any angel to come as his representative to bless them 679 Likes 54 Shares |

No matter what she wants on here wedding day,if she has been faithful, you can give her what she wants. But you see these lonely online feminist in their 30s ehen ![]() ![]() 26 Likes 1 Share |

Na wah for Africa. You do stylish wedding. Them go talk say you dey waste money. You nor do stylish wedding. Them go say na poverty dey worry you. You do moderate wedding. Them go say you too stingy. You talk say anything dem talk nor be your business. Her village people go siddon on top your matter. My advice? Anyhow you wan do am, people go still talk. Just do am as the spirit leads. If you listen to people, you go frustrate. Afterall, what matters is not the wedding ceremony but the 'marriage' ahead. 52 Likes 1 Share

gbaskiboy:Very annoying bunch! At my sister's wedding it got to a stage I had to call them to order. I went to one of them to caution them to stop the extortion.Then one replied "bi a se ma gba lojo ti eh na ni" ( that's how they will collect it on my own day) and I told them with what I've seen so far they won't be there. And to think after they packed the money they collected they still collect pay for the job done. Seriously I may scrap those people off when it's my turn.

He's right. Business people (like makeup artist, photographer, event planner, decorator, etc) only made a merchandise of the whole thing to f00l intending couples and leave them broke or poorer. We all will get sense post-Covid. People are still getting married despite the inactivity of these business people. With an extra fee of 25-30k, you can invite the registry/magistrate people to come and join you both in your home. Pay your dowry and zoom off! "It's your day, make it memorable bla bla bla", they all say, but none of them will tell you that marriage is a journey. How do you start celebrating a journey you haven't even began so badly that you have to go broke or poorer in the process?? 93 Likes 8 Shares |

Righteousness89: When Jesus attended the wedding, he never blessed the union. He was there as a guest. Now listen, God only needs THE HEAD of the family to pronounce blessing on the union for it come to pass regardless of the presence of a pastor/priest. 57 Likes 5 Shares |

Personally, the ‘real’ marriage for me is a civil one not traditional or religious. However, I am not going to begrudge or judge Christians on how they wish to practice their faith. For those citing Jesus at a wedding, Christianity didn’t exist then, Jesus participated in Jewish customs and attended a wedding ceremony that was probably Jewish. Each religion have their way of joining two couples and those that practice said faith should be allowed to follow such practices without judgement. I know for Catholics, a priest blessing your marriage is important, it’s one of the sacraments a Catholic observes while they’re on earth, the last one is death. Edit: I erroneously included last rites as one of the seven sacraments. 27 Likes 2 Shares |
