Why Marriages Fail - Bishop Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo, founder and general overseer of the Living Faith Church, a.k.a Winners Chapel, has blamed the high rate of divorce cases in the world to the belief in women liberation.

According to , Oyedepo during a service at his church in Ota, Ogun State on Sunday, August 23, said the increasing approval of equality between women and men have spilled into their marital lives.

He noted that such women now equate themselves with their husbands against the biblical doctrine that advises women to be submissive to their husbands and that men should love their wives.

Bishop Oyedepo said cases of divorce are more in the western world because people in such places have thrown away the dictates of God and have instead started consuming self-made laws that confer on them near-absolute freedom.

He revealed that this was partly the reason behind the laws approving homosexuality in such countries.

The founder of Winners Chapel lamented what the world was now turning into saying that nowadays, churches are being taken to court for refusing to marry men.

Speaking to the congregation, he said that women must be submissive to their husbands and that if they follow such with prayers, even if such men are wayward, God would return them to the family.

He also warned the men not to be carried away by the things of the world as they must learn to love their wives as the Bible had warned.

“When you work in the light of scriptures, you create an enviable future,” he said.

Oyedepo, who quoted various verses in the Bible to back his teaching, urged people to learn and work towards achieving success rather than blaming others for their failure.
