Bamiloye: Clergyman criticises female ministers who put ministry over family

The founder of the Mount Zion Faith Ministry, Mike Bamiloye, has criticized female ministers who put ministry over family, leaving their husband to suffer loneliness while being away from home for ministry.

According to Bamiloye, some women tend to blame their husbands for suppressing their divine callings when concerns are raised about their prolonged absences.

The movie producer noted that some female ministers travel around the world, enjoy luxurious amenities, while their husbands remain at home, managing the local church.

He said “it is hypocritical for female ministers to publicly praise their husbands during sermons, while neglecting and leaving them to endure loneliness at home.

According to the Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), Bamiloye on his Instagram post wrote “there is a class of female ministers who never stayed at home with their husbands. They travel everywhere, being hosted in many hotels and suits all over as they minister about, eating the best of sumptuous meals provided by their hosts while their husbands stay alone at home manning the local church.”

“They could be away from home on ministries for two or three months, “Preaching” the gospel all over the world while their husband languishes at home alone, being fed by cousins, nephews, or housemaids. And when the husband attempts to stop them from moving or attempt to reduce their frequent “mission” trips, they would say he is killing their visions and suppressing their callings.”

“They would stand behind the pulpits and podiums introducing their sermons with praise for their husbands: “I bring you greetings from my husband, the owner of my head. The payer of my dowries without whom I would not be here today. He sent his warm greetings ” , even while the man is suffering loneliness at home. Cold or hot, the man is alone,” the post concluded.
