Look at this hypocritical and sycophantic criminal and charlatan in cassock. In 2016 by this time you were waxing very political, talking about mis-leadership. Today, after watching ANIMAL KINGDOM for the tenure of your useless and clueless and corrupt NPP darling boys, you're back to talk about young people and marriage! Do you know how many marriages have broken down due the unprecedented hardship your NPP has visited on Ghanaians? Pharisee like you!

How about the church creating the idea that ordinance marriage is the ultimate...How about these churches saying this year we ste not taking tithes .......a lot of people graduate from tertiary educational institutions and they don't have jobs...and you expect them because you perceive that they want to get rich before marrying....they ate somehow crazy..and not thinking straight......it's not that people don't have opportunities and the government os not creating the enabling environment for businesses to grow.... now even the churches are making money off its congregation folks who patronize their schools.....this is misguided statement from. Icgc.....it's sad that we live in a country where pastors are involved in government bbusinesses........OTABIL SHOULD COME AGAIN BECAUSE ITS THE PASTORS AND POLITICIANS WHO ATE NOT THINKING STRAIGHT AND THEIR ACTIONS ARE CREATING DESPAIR ETC ......THE GHANA OF 2960S IS NOT THE GHANA WE SEE TODAY......STOP TAKING THE TITHE FOR ONE YEAR AS AN IDEALOGY FOR ICGC FOR FIRST TIME MARRIED COUPLES AND SEE IF THEY CANNOT SAVE TO PUT A ROOD OVER THEIR HEAD.....

unfortunately, thats not what he advocated. marriage per the laws of Ghana can be customary or otherwise. some have lived together for long without being married. In Christianity, they are both living in sin. He's saying they should take the bold step and inform the church they want to get married. Remember, the setting was in a church, the report is partial. Listen to the whole message and get the context.

You see your fading life.
You don’t even know what to talk about when given the media space.
You are fading away.
And you will soon be unrecognizable.

Why are you telling them to get married since they are not ready in financial care?. Are you going to feed them to produce kids?.

If I cannot take care of the kids or the woman or a home should go ahead and get married right??? Or should call on you every morning for upkeep to cater for my kids or home right?? Is so sad that leaders and so called men of God are forcing people into institutions which they aren't adequately prepared for. Which is a recipe for disaster and potentially leading to child neglect and abandonment by parents as if young people are living in good times in ghana and its no problem if you can't hold your family together due to financial difficulties and ultimately neglecting your financial responsibility in the context of marriage is OK. Mr failed pastor wake up and revise your thinking because times are indeed hard

Not all old men or pastors are wise. What is the significance of rushing into marriage when you are struggling?

Youth please Don't be deceived by such charlatan. They are out of touch with truth and reality. They want your kids and family be an average one compared to theirs. Remember medical bills or living expenses don't pay itself. Children don't chew or eat grass to grow. And the last time I checked, rich people hardly seek for divorce but broke ass couple split or break up on irrelevant or trivia issues for the simple reason of unfulfilled financial commitments or obligations

Hatred makes people write without their mind. The pastor said you are "living together" having seen but you didn't pass the process.

VD- marriage has nothing to do with the church… 1 year ago

Marriage is a family matter not the church.
The church cannot even marry two people without agreement from the families. Is not for the church to arrange that.
