Founder and General Overseer Success Gate C&S Int. (INC), Ibode Aseyori, His Grace Primate Ade Ademilokun Turton Onibode, has urged women to stay married to end the menace of a toxic, faulty generation. “Our children are watching your steps unconsciously,” he emphasised.
The dynamic, visionary leader who has made giant strides in ministry and is the mandate recipient of C&S Unification also charged the older women of the church to raise a standard to sensitise the present yet to mature 21st-century Christian mothers to their roles as parents, especially in raising godly children with morals based on their wealth and years of experience.
Primate Olubode, while piercing the do’s and don’ts of a virtuous woman with Biblical backings during an interactive sermon at the church’s headquarters annual thanksgiving of Good and Virtuous Women on September 18, 2023, in Akure, Ondo State, enjoined women to break through religious and societal family barriers with stereotype assumptions about marriage.
The priest emphatically charged the women not to be husbands nor become the men of God, but rather “showcase humility with inner adornment; be a sweet fragrance; an overused perfume becomes choking; then, it loses its value.”
Using the Biblical Ruth, Deborah, Priscilla, Tabithar and the rest, Primate Onibode noted that nothing is stopping a woman from being the Governor of a state, Engineer.
“Opportunity meets preparation. You can become the president of a nation but not the husband. Shun every act of single parenting, be a helpmate, not a nagging woman, and never make the mistake of comparing your husband with someone else’s,” he said.
Primate Onibode emphasized the need for peace to reign among couples. “Good women facilitate harmony, understanding, perseverance, and tolerance in a home. A man prefers to live in the desert than with a troublesome woman.”
He admonished women to disassociate from the set of women who want to “belong,” even as a married woman, raising a poser “Are you a Sarah woman, or a Jezebel?”
“Women are not inferior, nor a slave, but do not become the husband; respect your head. It is possible to live a life that pleases God in humbleness of heart; Queen Esther did not fight the battle for herself; let your children extol good virtues from you.”
