Feminism: Women Questioning Male Authority At Home Are Demon Inspired – Faith Oyedepo
Faith Oyedepo, the wife of the Senior Pastor of Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has slammed women seeking equality with men in the home saying that they are inspired by demons.
Faith Oyedepo speaking in the line of Biblical teachings said it was imperative for married women to be subject to their husbands in everything.
She poured out her mind on the controversial issue in a post on her verified Facebook page on Friday.
The outburst by Faith Oyedepo is coming days after her husband was flayed by a feminist group for his assertions on the place of women in the home during a sermon last Sunday.
Her husband had stated during a sermon to his congregation that “you may never have a good home” if you join a feminist club as a woman.
Oyedepo is unpopular among feminists for his sermons in which he categorically espouses the the principles of patriarchy and casts aspersion on the concept of feminism.
According to the clergyman, when the Bible says “submit yourself to your husband in everything,” women respond saying, “No, not today, that was before. Right now, nobody can do that. We are co-heirs, male and female, no difference.”
Oyedepo added such women think they are too smart for God to lead them.
He said when they are told that “this is the way to go,” they respond saying, “No, let me educate you, God. You didn’t go to school, did you?”
The clergyman added, “Right now, there is a feminine revolution. Then you get into feminine frustration and destiny devastation.”
Feminism Responsible For Domestic Violence – Pete Edochie
However, members of the Nigeria Feminist Forum did not mince words in expressing their displeasure at the Bishop’s attack on feminism.
In a rebuttal, the group wondered if feminism was responsible for the “unproductivity” of the pastors he recently sacked from his church.
According to the group, “We need to ask the eminent cleric, did feminists and the coalition cause the unproductivity of his pastors, or the insecurity and high inflation that has enveloped the nation?”
However, the Bishop’s position was corroborated by his wife, Faith Oyedepo who stated that women should be submissive to their husbands in everything.
She wrote, “Any woman or women’s organization that attempts to question the position of the man in the family should be regarded as being under a demonic influence.
“God expects that just as the Church is subject to Christ in everything, even so, women should be in subjection to their husbands in everything.”
Her remark is coming amid notable social re-engineering in the area of spousal responsibility in marriage, a development born out of widespread inculcation of feminist doctrines by some women.
