A global respected thought leader and passionate advocate for women emancipation, Bishop Funke Felix-Adejumo, has called on women not to depend on men’s money to live a meaningful life.
Bishop Adejumo, widely known for her dynamic voice, said women, especially married women can no longer afford to get married, sit at home and be producing children alone, adding that God did not create them to give birth alone but to make greater impact in the society.
Speaking as a guest speaker at a programme organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Everlasting Convenant Zone, FCT 11, tagged “Women of Greater Height” at the weekend, Bishop Adejumo spoke on the need for women to know God, have relationship with Him, identify their talents, sharpen their skills, value themselves, have passive income, invest wisely and maintain healthy relationships.
According to her, there is a difference between spirituality and religion, hence women must learn deliberately to honour God and men.
While making reference to the book of John 3:27, Bishop Adejumo said women who want to be great in life should be humble, listen to correction and be grateful.
“Like yourself and invest in yourself. If the totality of your spending is based on your husband, you are a waste. Don’t let your life be based on Sexually Transmitted Money (STM).
“Women of greater height should not allow anyone to pull them down for whatever reason. According to Job 12:13, no woman is inferior to anyone. Therefore, love yourself, believe in yourself and celebrate yourself at all time,” she stated.
While asking the women in attendance to give their lives to Jesus, she said life is too short for it to be wasted.
“Love the Lord, serve the Lord and be passionate about God. You can’t be sleeping around with men to have money. Keep your dignity and don’t let anybody mess you up, but firmly believe in yourself.”
She also urged the women to invest more in shares, saying that most women have expensive handbags and clothes they do not use in six months, telling them to “Go and sell them to buy shares.”
