Apostle Johnson Suleman, the founder of Omega Fire Ministries spoke to his members about how he began to support the fact that parents should have influence over their children’s marital choices.
The controversial pastor said that while he was growing up, he use to wonder why parents will insist that their children should not marry a particular set of people. He said that he was against it as he felt that people should be allowed to marry anybody the like. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away and all things have become new.” But now that he has experienced growth, he is now in support of it.
He said that he has daughters and he has told them who they cannot marry. He said that if they being that kind of man home, they will quarrel and he will curse him. He did that because he now understands life better. He said that parents cannot allow their children to marry someone who is from a generation of mad and difficult people.
Before they’d say, “it doesn’t matter the genotype, have faith and go ahead” but now they will say, ” be healed first before you go ahead.” He said that they have seen people who enter those kinds of marriages and today they are managing the crisis of their children. When they bring those kinds of couples to him, he said he will spend time praying for them in pain so that God will change their genotype but if the genotype remains the same, then it means that God is sending a message and he will have no choice than to break the relationship.
Finally, he said that due to growth, he now sees life differently which is why you must understand why you have to be very careful what you say and do now because you will still outgrow the stage you are.
