Nigerian clergyman Pastor Bolaji Idowu has offered a thought-provoking message to wives dealing with infidelity in their husbands.
Instead of criticizing or condemning their partners, Pastor Bolaji Idowu suggests that women speak words of righteousness and positivity over their husbands.
By using their words to affirm goodness and truth, wives can potentially help their spouses break free from the cycle of cheating.
In his sermon, Pastor Idowu stresses the importance of the spoken word and its impact on relationships.
He warns against negative confessions which can worsen the situation, and instead encourages wives to speak life-giving and uplifting words into their husbands’ lives.
By reminding them of their identity in Christ, Pastor Bolaji Idowu believes that wives can play a crucial role in their husbands’ transformation.
In his own words, he said:
“Any small thing my husband is a serial cheater. What you are saying is a problem also because you are adding to his problem by confessing it. If your husband is a cheater, confess righteousness out of him. Look at him with tears, ‘Honey, I know what you did. I know it was very bad but you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You are a Holy man of God.
The reason for this is every time there is darkness, we speak light. You call it out of him, next time when he’s driving and he sees that lady with the ikebe, the head will say look, he will say ‘I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. The reason why he is everybody rises to words and falls to words”.
