It’s Cultural, Not Biblical, for Men to Provide for Women – Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo.
The founder of David’s Christian Centre, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, has urged women to stop depending on men for financial support, stressing that such expectations are rooted in culture, not scripture.
In a recent sermon, Okonkwo explained that the Bible encourages hard work and personal responsibility rather than dependency. He argued that women should not expect men to cater to their financial needs, reminding them that scripture clearly states, “He that does not work should not eat.”
The clergyman questioned why many women who were self-reliant before marriage suddenly shift the burden of survival to their husbands or partners. He described this mindset as “p++r people talk,” pointing out that individuals from wealthy backgrounds are usually raised with the mentality of self-sufficiency.
Okonkwo also criticized women who define their worth by what men can provide, warning that this often leads to exploitation and disrespect. According to him, women who set low standards based on material demands, such as insisting a man must buy them little gifts to gain attention, end up being mistreated.
“The way some of you are being treated is because of how you’ve rated yourself. If you say, ‘If you don’t buy me popcorn, I won’t come,’ then don’t be surprised when they pop you like corn. You’re disgracing your family,” he cautioned.
