My Wife Is Destroying My Ministry, Pastor Cries Out

Rotimi Michael, a 51-year-old pastor has accused his wife of wanting to destroy his ministry as a cleric.

The pastor who besieged the Oke-Ogbere Customary Court in Ibadan to terminate his 11- year-old marriage to his wife, Dolapo, said his wife had rubbished his calling as a minister of God.

He stressed that if the court does not dissolve the marriage, she might end up destroying his ministry.

He said: “To say the least my lord, I have for too long tolerated Dolapo’s arrogance, disrespect, stubbornness and stone-heartedness to me, probably due to my silence.

“She doesn’t even take instructions from me; instead, Dolapo consults other pastors around.

“Rather than supporting my ministry, she causes pandemonium that leads to crises in the church.

“In fact, Dolapo keeps nagging and I am completely fed-up with her, ‘’ Rotimi said.

However, Concise News gathered that the wife, Dolapo agreed to the litigation and did not deny the allegations levelled against her but explained the reasons for her action.

The 48 -year-old Prophetess, said God ministered to her that she must marry Pastor Rotimi.

“Rotimi no longer wants to see me because he now knows that my anointing is greater than his.

“Anytime I have a revelation for our congregation in the church, Rotimi, as the church overseer will not want God’s revelation to be shared because he feels that I might be greater than him.

“He prefers to tell lies to the congregation and his attitude is against my calling.

“For two years now, Rotimi has been starving me of sex. This is due to the fact that he has another wife in Lagos State.

“Besides, Rotimi is making desperate moves to terminate my life in another revelation by our son.

“He is currently blackmailing me around that I am a fake prophetess.

“Rotimi lacks any milk of human kindness because he no longer fends for the children and me.

“The land on which his church is built is jointly owned by both of us,’’ Dolapo said.

Meanwhile, the witnesses called to testify in the matter wanted the marriage to be dissolved for peaceful coexistence.

One of the senior pastors of the church appealed to the court to give them a grace of four weeks to intervene for amicable settlement.

The court’s President, Alhaji Suleiman Adeniyi, however, said that he was adjourning the case for the last time because he had done it on several occasions without any remedy.

Adeniyi adjourned the case till March 20 for judgment
