The Founder and General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church, Pastor Mensa Otabil, has urged single individuals to plunge into marriage without waiting to accumulate wealth first.
In a sermon that has gained widespread attention, Pastor Otabil challenged the common belief that financial stability is a prerequisite for marriage.
He shared a personal story, revealing that he wasn’t wealthy when he married his wife, to the extent that he had to paint a bench white to use as furniture in their home.

“If you’re waiting to be rich before you marry, then your head is not working properly,” Pastor Otabil stated in the viral video. “You don’t want to marry, but you’re sleeping together. You want what’s reserved for marriage without going through the process. Be bold and marry.”
Pastor Otabil stressed that the church is prepared to bless couples who wish to have a simple marriage ceremony, free from the pressures of elaborate celebrations.
“Set the date. If you’re afraid of a veil, don’t wear one; if you’re nervous about a gown, don’t wear it. Just come to the church office and say, ‘This is the woman I want, and this is the man I want.’ We ask, ‘Do you?’ and you say, ‘I do.’ That’s it. Then, you start planning your life together, and you’ll find that the battles you face become easier to manage,” he concluded.
