The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Nigeria, has denied a report which said it had the highest number of single ladies among the churches in the country.
The church made the denial in a statement on Sunday by Collins Edomaruse, media aide to its General Overseer, Pastor Daniel Olukoya.
“The false assumption that the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries has the largest number of female singles is baseless, erroneous and misleading,” the statement said.
The MFM ministry had a distinctive and well-structured youth movement. The youth and young adults of this ministry, under the leadership of the General Overseer, have distinguished themselves as leaders of fields of academia, music and sports with laurels to back this up.
“We encourage and actively support all spinsters and bachelors, regardless of denomination, to build their relationships on biblical standards. We strongly advise all our single men and women to marry fellow believers with the Christian faith.
“We believe this is God’s will for marriage and is best foundation for a successful and a Godly marriage. Dr Olukoya and MFM ministries have never stated that single men and women within this ministry should marry within the ministry.”
The church explained that it had conducted over 150,000 wedding in the last 10 years.
The statement said, “In the last decade, Genesis 2:18 has provided training, teaching and guidance to thousands of single men and women across Nigeria, Africa and all around the world. To its credit, over 150,000 weddings have occurred as a result of Gen 218 forums.
