My Church Does Not Have The Highest Number Of Single Ladies – MFM General Overseer
The MFM General Overseer, Daniel Olukoya has denied the assertion that his church has the highest number of single ladies in the country.
The General Overseer made this statement while reacting to comments that he has banned members of his congregation from wedding Christians from other denominations.
Daniel Olukoya, while speaking through his spokesperson, Collins Edomaruse, argued that for the last 10 years, the MFM through its singles ministries Gen 218, has done over 150,000 weddings and that he encouraged his congregation to marry anyone both within and outside the MFM as far as their intending spouse is a Christian.
The statement read further;
We encourage and actively support all spinsters and bachelors, regardless of denomination, to build their relationships on biblical standards. We strongly advise all our single men and women to marry fellow believers within the Christian faith. We believe this is God's will for marriage and is the best foundation for a successful and Godly marriage.
Dr. Olukoya and MFM ministries have never stated that single men and women within this ministry should only marry within the ministry.
In the last decade, Gen 218 has provided training, teaching and guidance to thousands of single men and women across Nigeria, Africa and all around the world. To its credit, over 150,000 weddings have occurred as a result of Gen 218 forums.
The false assumption that the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries has the largest number of female singles is baseless, erroneous and very misleading.
The MFM ministry has a distinctive and well-structured youth movement. The youth and young adults of this ministry, under the leadership of the General Overseer, have distinguished themselves as leaders in the fields of academia, music, and sports with laurels to back this up." the statement read
