Men without jobs have no business getting married, says Jimmy Odukoya

Jimmy Odukoya, a senior pastor of the Fountain of Life church, says men without jobs shouldn’t think of marriage.

During a recent sermon titled ‘What Is Love?’, Odukoya stated that work is fundamental to a man’s purpose.

He added that a man should not entertain thoughts of marriage if he is unemployed.

“As a man, you must be doing something. You must be working. God created man and he put him to work,” the clergyman said.

“So how can you say that you are a man and you are not working? A man finds purpose in his work.

“That is why God put him in the garden to tend and to keep.

“A man was designed to work. As a man you cannot be thinking of marriage if you don’t have work, just stop.

“Before God brought a woman, he put a man to work.”

Odukoya encouraged women to consider marrying a person who is working towards clearly defined aspirations.

“Do not marry potential, marry kinetic. Kinetic is energy in motion.,” the pastor added.

“Marry a man that you can tell by what he is doing that he is going somewhere.”
