Posted: 05 Sep 2020 11:30 PM PDT

"The only way to a fruitful marriage is total submission on the part of the wife. Until it is in place, every other thing she tries to do will be out of place. A woman who refuses to submit to her husband is disobeying God. As a woman, you might even be a minister of the gospel, and your husband is not, the Word of God still says to submit yourself to him. A submissive woman is precious in the sight of her husband – Ephesians 5:22.

#Marriage

#Breakinglimits"

In an open letter to Oyedepo, Freeze opined that submission in marriage goes both ways and not only reserved for women. Read his open letter below

"Dear Bishop Oyedepo, submission goes both ways. It's not reserved for women alone, rather both the husband and wife MUST submit to one another.

Ephesians 5:21

New International Version

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Now, let us always endeavor to quote scripture in context. We shouldn't leave out the instruction given to the men, who must also be prepared to DIE for their wives like Christ died for the church, or is this because we live in a patriarchal and misogynistic society that we adopt one and leave out the other?

Ephesians 5:25

New Living Translation

For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her.

Furthermore, men are instructed to love their wives as they love themselves, before they receive respect. If a man cheats on his wife, beats her or doesn't take care of her financially, how can he disillusion himself into believing that he'd get submission and respect from her?

Ephesians 5:33

New Living Translation

So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."

"She was like sure for me, my business was going to blow because she knew that that was my life.

"That's one thing I've put everything I have into. That was the first thing for me before even the money.

She wrote:


"I HATE to show any kind of weakness but too many things have been happening as of late, where I have to be honest with myself and accept that life is hard and shit happens and I don't have all the answers like I think I do. Especially as a public figure, yeyebrity, influenza, what have you, we are expected to have it all together. Not sure why because we are humans like the next person. There is a pressure to keep up. We are in a place where our value is based on numbers and not our God-given talent. No lie, shit is fucked up. I just write this to anyone, be it celebrity by social media or celebrity by heart because we all deserve to be celebrated, YOU ARE ENOUGH. YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH."

Fellow housemates, Alex and Princess could relate and they left comments expressing their agreement.
