What are your thoughts on homosexuality?
God created marriage for people to find procreation, mutual
help, comfort and strength. When God started marriage, it
was for Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. God loves all
men and he loves homosexuals. It’s just that the constitution
of God which is the Bible, speaks against the practice.
How are you able to preach this gospel in societies which are
permissive of this practice and lifestyle?
I was one of 10 people who signed and put our conviction
about God’s original idea of the marriage institution in major
newspapers. One of the fallouts is the persecution that comes
from taking such a stance.
We cannot run away from what we believe. If God had
wanted same sexes to marry, he would have created other
methods of procreation. We don’t come out to say we hate
homosexuals because we love them; God loves them but the
bible is against the practice.
You have been married to Pastor Yemisi for 34 years. How
have you been able to stay married for this long?
It is in accepting and appreciating each other. We made the
right decisions from the beginning. When I was going to get
married, I was on the lookout for an evangelist. A pastor
friend of mine asked me to speak to her even though I already
knew her because I was her counsellor in church. Our union is
awesome because we share a similar passion for Christ even
though we come from two sides of the gospel; I came from
the streets while her parents were born again before she was
born but the same blood of Jesus cleaned both of us.
