Advice Sparks Controversy: Avoid Marrying Women Who Oversleep, Insists Pastor Ezekiel Odero

In a thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Ezekiel Odero of Newlife Church and Prayer Centre in Kenya has sparked controversy by advising men to steer clear of marrying women who oversleep. According to the pastor, a woman must be the first to wake up every morning to fulfill her biblical obligation of attending to the needs of her children and husband.

In a video uploaded online, Pastor Ezekiel Odero, speaking in a local dialect, passionately expressed his belief that a woman should be the “light of the family” by waking up early to handle household chores, prepare the children for school, and make breakfast for her husband. He went on to assert that any man who discovers his wife still sleeping after he has awakened has made a poor choice in a life partner.

She should be the first one to wake up and prepare kids for school, do house chores, and even prepare breakfast for her husband.
