Most 'Osofo Maames' are witches – Patience Nyarko

Gospel Musician, Patience Nyarko has called on wives of men of God (Osofo Maame) to help in winning souls for Christ rather than being the cause of the downfall of pastors and churches.

During the Thursday, November 9 edition of Accra Live Worship with Kwaku Sampah on Accra100.5FM, the ‘Atigya’ singer noted that it takes the anointing of God to be the wife of a man of God.

She indicated that people with the spirit of jealousy and arrogance are not qualified to marry men of God, adding that: “Most of the pastors’ wives are witches and help in collapsing churches and bringing down the ministry of their husbands”.

In her view, women need certain qualities in order to operate effectively as wives to pastors as the men of God are the mouthpieces of God and “being the mouthpiece of God isn’t something one jokes about”.

She charged women not to be demanding marriage from pastors when they are not prepared to support their husbands’ ministries.

She indicated that women should not go to church because of expectations to marry the pastor but to promote the ministry of God.

“I went to a nearby church where almost all the women wanted to marry the pastor. The man of God got married and all the ladies left the church because he didn’t marry any of them,” she stated.
