A Nigerian woman who offered to marry an autistic member of Omega Power Ministry has opened up about the deep personal conviction behind her surprising choice.
Her explanation came after the marriage sparked mixed reactions online.
While some people praised her and showed support, others raised concerns about her intentions and the circumstances surrounding the union.
In a video shared by @gossipmillnaija, the woman narrated how everything unfolded.
She said she is a member of Omega Power Ministry and initially did not pay much attention when the church’s General Overseer announced that a wife was being sought for the man.
However, she explained that things took a different turn a few days later when she had what she described as a spiritual encounter. According to her, she felt a strong instruction from “God” at night, urging her to take action immediately.
Though she was hesitant at first and struggled with the decision, she eventually accepted it as a divine assignment.
She added that she had received several marriage proposals in the past but turned them down because of a vow she made to dedicate herself fully to God until she was clearly directed to her husband.
Taking this step, she said, was part of her obedience and commitment to that vow. After making up her mind, she reached out to the church to indicate her willingness.
In her words:
“By the grace of God, I am a member of OPM, and to the glory of God and his mercy, I am standing before the great congregation of God and before our Lord Jesus Christ because of what he sent me, and I am here to fulfill what he sent me.
When daddy made this announcement last week, I didn’t put any interest. Not knowing God has a purpose for me. So it was about three days ago, I wanted to sleep, and the spirit of God woke me up. ‘Get up, my daughter, go and fulfill what I asked you to do.’”
“I was dragging. The spirit of God said, ‘Go.’ I am a beautiful woman. People have been coming for my hand in marriage, but because I told doctor Jesus, ‘My body is for you,’ I will not defy this body until you give me my husband. If you did not give me, I will serve you; if you give me, I will serve you. It is a vow I made.
And again, when that spirit told me, immediately I texted daddy, I also texted mommy welfare, and I told her, ‘Yes, I will be the one. I want to pay that sacrifice.’ It is a sacrifice; it is a very big sacrifice.
When I look at our Lord Jesus Christ, the sacrifice he paid on the cross of Calvary, nothing is too big for me to do the same for our Lord Jesus Christ. This guy, young man here, is a child of God, an adopted child of daddy, our daddy GO.”
“So when God told me, immediately the spirit was just letting me, and I was texting daddy, I told daddy, ‘I will do it. I will marry him.’ Not only marry, but I will take care of you as a son, as my king, as a husband, as a brother.
Because if I know people will kick against you, people will say all manner of things, but I am after what the Lord Jesus sent me. Because I made a vow to God, any day I defile this body, let him not spare my life, two seconds let him kill me. That is the vow I made to God.”
