Husbands of female ministers suffer loneliness – Mike Bamiloye
Founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, Pastor Mike Bamiloye, has stated that the husbands of many female ministers are suffering from loneliness while they travel the world to preach the gospel.
He disclosed this in a statement on Monday, raising concerns about the frequent travels of some female ministers who often leave their husbands alone for extended periods.
According to Pastor Bamiloye, these female ministers often enjoy luxurious accommodations and sumptuous meals during their trips, while their husbands cope with loneliness and isolation at home.
He added that when these husbands try to express concerns or set boundaries, they are sometimes accused of stifling their wives’ visions and callings.
He therefore urged female ministers to do better and not neglect their husbands while they carry on with their visions and God given assignments.
He stated, “There is a class of female ministers who never stay home with their husbands. They travel everywhere, staying in hotels and suites as they minister, enjoying the best of sumptuous meals provided by their hosts, while their husbands remain at home, managing the local church alone.
“They can be away on ministrations for two or three months, ‘preaching’ the gospel around the world, while their husbands languish at home, relying on cousins, nephews, or housemaids for meals.
“When the husband tries to stop them or reduce their frequent ‘mission’ trips, they accuse him of killing their visions and suppressing their callings.
“They often stand behind pulpits, introducing their sermons with praises for their husbands: ‘I bring you greetings from my husband, the owner of my head, the payer of my dowry, without whom I would not be here today. He sends his warm greetings,’ even while the man is suffering in loneliness at home.”
