The Convener of Royal Home Foundation International (RHFI), Mrs. Deborah Abimbola-Akanbi has advised single ministers not to rush into marriage because of pressure from church members or leaders.



In her message received by CAC News, Mrs. Abimbola-Akanbi said: "To all Single Ministers of God, please don't rush into Marriage Relationship because of pressure from church members or leaders. You have gone this far in your relationship with God. It will be a great error for you to miss it at this level."



"If marriage is now a prerequisite for ordination, and you know God hasn't given you one of His daughters, as a male servant of God and one of His own sons, as a female servant of God. I mean the person He has perfectly made to suit your uniqueness, to be a helper and companion in the assignment He has given to you. It is wise to defer your 'human' ordination, to pray well and seek godly counsel for whom to marry, than to marry in error out of pressure, and live in regret for the rest of your life."



"Never be in a rush to choose for yourself, God's Minister. Only God knows who is good for you. Let God choose for you. He made all things beautiful in his time."
