Popular author and public speaker Reno Omokri is back with his message and this time he has sent a strong warning to those asking for pastor’s idea concerning their marriage.
Reno Omokri in a new post on his official Instagram account stated that the tradition of letting a pastor oversee the union of two prospective couples is not scriptural.
According to Reno Omokri, parents’ consent alone is enough to seal the union without that of the pastor.
He wrote on his timeline:
“It is unscriptural to get pastoral consent for marriage before parental consent. God invented marriage in Genesis 2:24. Those He included were the couple and their parents. No mention of pastor or priest. Don’t let ANY pastor put a burden on you that God DID NOT put. From Genesis to Revelation, Scriptural marriages have ALWAYS been a family affair, not a church issue. Do not be deceived by any pastor, no matter how highly placed. Take your guidance from Scripture, not man. Get parental consent, not pastoral consent
Read the entire Scripture for yourself. It is not hard. You can do it. Nowhere do you see anyone consulting priests, prophets or pastors before choosing a marriage partner. Isaac consulted his parents. Jacob consulted his parents. The 10 commandments command you to honour your parents, not your pastor!
If your parents attend your wedding, they are automatically God’s representatives, even if the wedding takes place in your village.”
